Kerr's Korner
I Am Not A Believer
By John Kerr
I got a phone call the other day. The man told me his name and seemed pleasant enough. I asked a couple of questions to discover that he was not a robot. He wanted to know if I had ever heard of Publishers Clearing House. I informed him that not only was I familiar with them, but I was not happy with them. He inquired why and I was all too happy to let him know that someone called me the week before at 11:50 PM when I was sound asleep wanting to know if I was familiar with Publishers Clearing house.
The nice man told me that he probably wasn’t from their company. I let him know that the man gave the exact same spiel. They were from the same company. He apologized profusely and continued his pitch. When he asked if I was ready to receive my free gift I let him know that I was an unbeliever. When he asked what I meant I told him I did not believe there was a free gift. He ended the call. I am an unbeliever in a lot of things I hear in this life.
I am a firm believer in God the Father and Christ Jesus, his Son. I do believe there is a free gift, but not from Publishers Clearing House. Romans 5:14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come. 15 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.
16 And the free gift is not like the result of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification. 17 For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. 18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.

Wayne's Wacky Words
Beneficence- Quality of doing good. This would involve performing acts of kindness, mercy and charity. There is no law against that (See Galatians 5:22-23).
