DALLAS—Gus Reyes, director of affinity ministries and the Hispanic Education Initiative of the Baptist General Convention of Texas, was named director of the BGCT Christian Life Commission, effective Jan. 16.
The CLC is the public policy and moral concerns agency of the BGCT, which speaks to—not for—Texas Baptists on ethical issues.
“Dr. Reyes’ work with education and immigration reform on a state and federal government level has proven his passion and ability to give a voice to those who have no voice,” said David Hardage, executive director of the BGCT Executive Board.
like American citizens and taxpayers??
This is true. Even a couple hundred seems to scare a lot of Representatives. The problem is one has to stay in permanent battle mode every day of the week. The enemies have plenty of resources and like termites if frustrated in one direction start chewing away in another. I have found pure, unadulterated concentrated rage at the vermin trying to destroy the nation to be a sort of caffeine of the spirit.
Your wife should be proud of your fiery nature and should not have shown embarrassment.
Our leadership has been determinedly abdicating responsibility to fulfill the tasks assigned to them. THEY are put in office to do the unpleasant work of facing ugly reality for us and do ‘not so nice’ things, but they refuse.
I don’t disagree with you one bit. So, what’s the solution? Take the law into your own hands or force them to do their jobs? What that looks like is anybody’s guess.
Well, term limits would be one start; then of course, something else, but I don’t know what. Truth be told, abdicating responsibility has become embedded in our culture, not just among the poor or those on welfare. Upper class parents abdicating responsibility for raising and guiding their children and spouses abdicating their religious duties (committing adultery, murdering spouses for money), and kids never learning to respect the law. Quite honestly it’s a huge mess right now. If our government did the real job it’s supposed to do, there wouldn’t be any problems to be honest with our country.
Thank you and I concur with what you posted. I had marked this article for later because I had a good idea that there would be a lot of problematic comments made. You have done well to redirect the responsibility back to those on whom it truly rests.
On another thread yesterday, I saw a comment that the illegals SHOULD be brought to military bases so they could be used for target practice.
I suppose some people need the emotional release that expressing such a murderous thought must provide.
Lay aside the spiritual bankruptcy that such a comment reveals. Obama can use all the useful idiots he can get and this thread has been the mother lode.
you
We have a Smoky Backroom. People who need to verbalize like that should be free to do so there.
People who prefer actual thoughtful observations and opinions should not have to wade through the dreck that is inundating the board. I made a vanity about profanity some time ago. I post the link from time to time
Thank you! I suspect that some of this might be the reason for the donation problem. I am going to save your reply, because it said everything that I wanted to say myself.
