Section 8?...........No Problem

I tend to connect everything that happens: good or bad......to the Word of God.  However, I always conclude that the Word of God is good, and not only good, but great.  Recently, I heard some people complaining about how a government housing program called Section 8 has ruined neighborhoods by creating an increase in crime and lowered the property values of suburban neighborhoods.  This is why the Gospel must be preached.  It must be preached to everyone.  Not all will believe.  Nevertheless, the Word of God must be preached because it changes minds and hearts.  It changes the lives of people for the better.  Their values will change.  They will have peace, joy and hope.  They will quit stealing, killing, harming and acting insane.  They will learn to be humble.  Very important, since pride is the most damaging thing on this planet. Those who believe and obey the Word will be blessed.  They will experience a burst of freedom they have never had before.   If certain people are taking unfair advantage of a government program and break laws; they can stop.  They can stop because they can change.  I know what I am talking about.  You can take a thug out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the thug.  But Jesus can.  Jesus gives people brand new lives and brand new starts.  Religion cannot really change a person's life for the better.  But Jesus can.  Jesus has.  Jesus does.  There is much more.........a whole lot more.
