A SOCIAL GOSPEL
(Faith-based
War on Poverty)
The keynote word in the
presidential inauguralspeech
was "compassion". Almost
immediately upon occupying
the nation's highest office,
the new president estab-
lished a White House office,
the new president estab-
lished a White House office
for coordinating "faith-based
charities" with the govern-
ment. Yes, the poor need
more compassion than ever
in this stampeding world of
inflation, job instability and
corporate giants. But is now
the time for the government
to work with the churches?

this presidential initiative to?
hand out money to religious
institutions. Some fear dan-
ger from church influence -
increasing. Others fear the
churches will be corrupted
or manipulated .by the. gov-
ernment. Is church-state
cooperation the answer to
poverty? Is the role of the
Church of Christ to sponsor
soup kitchens and drug
counseling and work with
government too? Churches
have been involved in help-
ing the poor and disadvan-
taged on many levels. In a
. large measure, these pro-
grams are motivated by a
love of fellow-man, a noble
desire to help and a sense of
urgency to save souls----
feeling now is "the only day
of salvation." To accom-
plish these mutual goals, not
only are the churches uniting
today, but some govern-
ments are using the churches
to stabilize themselves and
the churches are using the
governments to do the same.
Although the polls show the
United States citizens gener-
ally oppose church-state
relations, the recent ofaith-
based initiativeT seems a
clear step in the direction of
American-style church-state
union. But history verifies
the Scriptual prophecies that
this solution will not work.
The war on poverty will only
be won in Christ's kingdom.
Jesus did not work for social
justice and transformation of
social institutions. Why?---
He said, "My Kingdom is
not of this world." (John
ie
18:36)
"My Kingdom is not of this
world.? (John 18:36)
True Christians are focused
on preaching forgiveness of
individual sin, individual be-
getting of the Holy. Spirit,
and a personal - walk in
"newness of life." In God's
due time, the program. that
He has planned. for man
includes raising from. the
dead and even the drug
addicts who died of over-
dose! .
"The Lord is gracious and
full of | compassion....."
(Psalm 111:4) And His gos-
pel includes more than just
providing food, clothing,
and temporary houses for
everybody.

oToxic People
A toxic person is anyone
who has poisoned your life,
who i is Not supportive, who
is not happy to see you
grow, to see you succeed,
who does not wish you
well. In essence, he or she
sabotages your efforts to
lead a happy and productive
ife.
Some types of toxic terrors:
The cut-you-downers
The chatterbox
The silent but deadly vol-
cano
The smfling two-faced back
stabbers
The wishy-washy wimp
The opportunistic user
The builshitting liar
The meddler
The penny-pinching miser
The me, myself, and |
Narcissist
The self-righteous Priss
The accusing Critic
The arrogant Know-lIt- All
The Instigator
These Toxic Terrors defi-
nitely do not know how to
win fiiends or influence
people. In fact, many of
their traits are so offensive
that others loathe being
around them.

oThe following ten rules are
essential for establishing

formerly toxic relationship:
1. Don't blame'
2. Apologize readily if it's
your fault.
3 .Hold back - Say it all
4. Don't attackT
5. Don't hit below the belt
(Rebuild, not punish).
6. Don't threaten.
7. Don't use sarcasm or be-
little. (Don't say something
nasty and then temper it
with "I was only kidding")
8. Stick to the'issues.
9. Watch your tone of

10. Show compassion.
Getting On With Your Life
1. Take good care of your-
self
2. Herrnit time (Some time
we need to be alone).
3. Pamper our body'
4. Pamper your soul.
5. Take inventory (Social
life, work life, professional

6. Coming out - Take a
risk.
7. Redecorate yourself.
8. Have a mission in life.
9. Meet new and different

"Don't Worry, Be
Happy:
Use These 10 Strategies to
Get the Most Out of Your
Life",, by Monique R.
Brown, From: Black
Enterprise, July 2001
1. Discover what brings
you joy. Being overweight,
depressed, fatigued, tense,
lonely, unmotivated, and
isolated may'be the result of
not having enough joy in
your life. So, the next three
days, take 30 minutes out
of your busy schedule and
answer the question, what
brings me joy? Joy feeds
your spirit.
2. Conduct an honest self-
assessment. This self- as-
sessment is based on how
you view your self today.
Answer: What are my bad
habits, what things about
myself I would most likely
change? What things would
I like my family, fiends,
and colleagues to say about
me when I'm dead?
3. Create a balance between
spirituality, health, money,
and love. You need these
components for a complete
life. Creating a balanced
lifestyle means that you set
goals in all areas of your
life.
4. Make bold requests. Let
others know what you need.
are positive and going the
same places you are.
6. Embrace change. Be
open to. new careers, places,
experiences, and challenges.
Changes are good
because they give you an
opportunity to move to an-
other level. Life is like a
train ride. People need to
get on and off to make
room for someone else.
7. Get into a profession you
love. You are never too old
or too young to start afresh.
There is no excuse for not
enjoying your career.
8. Give stress a rest. If you
don't learn how to manage
your stress, it will start
managing you and manifest
itself in physical ways. To
avoid this, release it by
talking to someone to get
rid of the anxiety. Plan
ahead to head off stressful
situations.
9. Travel, travel, travel.
Visit another country or
va@ation throughout the
flfty states. Visiting opens
you up to different people,
their culture and exposes
you to different ways of liv-
ing.
10. Have your own agenda.
Abandon your need to be a
people pleaser and start
putting your own needs
ahead of others.

Heart Disease: An Atlas of Racial and
Ethnic Disparities in Mortality? re-
port, released June 20, found Black
men living in parts of the rural south
bear the brunt of deaths from heart
attack. The report was compiled by
the CDC and West Virginia Univer-
sity. It is the first comprehensive look
at geographical and racial/ethnic dis-
parity in heart disease deaths for U.S.
men age 35 and older, from 1991-
1995, officials said.
In addition to suffering higher
heart disease death rates, Black men
were also more likely to die from
heart disease at an early age than
other men. Some 40 percent in Black
males occurred before age 65, com-
pared with 21 percent of heart deaths
in white men, the report noted. oToo
many men, particularly men of color,
are dying from a disease that we
know can be prevented by changing
lifestyles and social conditions in
communities, including access to af-
fordable, heart-healthy foods and rec-
reational facilities and jobs in healthy
workplaces,? said U.S. Surgeon Gen-
eral David Satcher.

The Honeymoon is over.
According to a recent ABC/Washington
Post poll, Pres. BushTs approval rating has
dipped 8 percent over the last three months
to 55 percent. Only Gerald Ford and Bill
Clinton had lower ratings at similar times in
According to the poll, support for the
president has been eroded by the energy cri-
sis, as well as by the perception that he is
lurching to the right on environmental pro-
tection. On these two issues, Bush is losing
favor from a public that desires moderate,
Bush did, however, score a major biparti-
san victory when his $1.35-trillion tax cut
plan breezed through both the House and
Arnsteon |
the Senate. Though the bill
ensured that Bush would
become the first president in two decades to
make good on a promise to significantly cut
taxes, the defection of Sen. Jim Jeffords
effectively hijacked attention from this
accomplishment, shifting the national
debate to the senatorial balance of power.
And, indeed, the implications of the Sen-
ate shake-up are profound. Already, new
Democratic Leader Sen. Tom Daschle has
declared his intention to murder BushTs mis-
sile defense plan as well as the option of
probing the arctic wildlife preserves for oil.
Of course, when Clinton lost control of the
Congress, he simply co-opted the major
Republican platforms to govern from the
middle. Along the way, he redefined the
Democratic leadership and ascended in the
popular consciousness as a great communi-
With the nation clamoring for bipartisan
support, will Bush prove as adroit at navi-
gating the shifting political landscape?
Should Bush compromise his agenda, or
would he be better served by digging in his
heels around his campaign promises and
keeping his political character in tact?
In hopes of enriching the national debate,
we ask that you make your voices heard on
these important questions. To that end, we
have constructed a public poll. By pulling
together our disparate views, we hope to
