I doubt The Goshen News has ever printed a more paradoxical sentence: “World Peace was ejected from Sunday’s game against the Thunder for striking Harden in the head, giving him a concussion.”
When Ron Artest changed his name to Metta World Peace, surely God looked a mere half year down the road of time and got a good laugh (or cry).
What I have to say is very narrow-minded, and they are words that lead to life. Governments, education, community groups and diplomats do not bring peace. The world’s false religions do not bring peace. If you are honest, all you have to do is look within to know that peace cannot start with people. Only the Holy Spirit brings peace. It takes peace with God to have peace with people.
When a religious leader came to Jesus and wanted to talk about miraculous signs, Jesus point blank redirected the conversation to the spiritual and said, “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again” — (John 3:3). The same eyewitness who recorded this for us said later, (1 John 4:11), “Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.”
Let’s stop expecting fruits of the Spirit from trees that are not alive. Jesus knew it would take changed people to change the world. After he atoned for our sins, he had these important last instructions for his disciples: “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” — (Matt. 28:19,20)
THIS is peace!

Remember the amnesty law of ’86?
The “Gang of Eight” U.S. Senate members have drafted an immigration bill that’s worse then the amnesty bill signed into law by Ronald Reagan in 1986. S. 744 gives those here illegally instant Registered Provisional Immigrant status, which means they are free from being deported if they register for amnesty.

Don’t ignore signs of someone contemplating suicide
Everyone has issues that they have to deal with in their lives. It’s when we become overwhelmed and our issues become so drastic that they are unbearable that the results can be catastrophic. Suicide is a desperate attempt to escape suffering that has become unbearable.

Goshen should stick with ‘Redskins’
I must respond to the letter to the editor from Mr. Ron Chupp (The Goshen News, May 9). What’s in a name, Mr. Chupp? I too have a Native American heritage, and for some reason, I am not offended by the term Redskins, or brown skins or any other color of skins.

More important issues than a nickname
I would like to, in the most respectful way possible, respond to Mr. Chupp’s letter (The Goshen News, May 9) regarding the ongoing debate over the term “Redskins” being used as the nickname and mascot for the Goshen school system.

There is hope through God
May I share what happened to me after praying about the issue of whether to have guns carried by school authorities at Goshen High School. While calling out to God, my question was: Why have we as a nation come to trusting in government agencies, such as Homeland Security, rather than obeying the Constitution in what you have declared through our forefathers?
