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? Citing First Amendment separation of church and state, some have objected to If you like to live life on your terms, you'll enjoy the freedom of ALLTEL wireless.

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 “faith- based initiative’ 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. Viney Vic ewsnane!

Dr. Glass is a "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. ‘Seman a , _ thing or anyone that isnt = | _. impacting your lifeina =| positive way.

The federal agency’s “Men and 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. “Too 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 death rate for Latino men of all races was 432 per 100,000. “Men and Heart Disease” is the com- panion to “Women and Heart Dis- ease: An Atlas of Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Mortality,” released in February 2000. The atlas includes more than 200 national and state maps showing geo- graphic patterns in heart disease death rates. Maps of local economic resources and availability of medi- cal care provide information on the underlying community characteris- tics that can influence the opportuni- ties men have to live heart-healthy lives. “The beauty of both atlases is that they allow public health profes- sionals and policymakers at the state level to compare their state’s heart disease burden with other similar states,” explained CDC director Dr. Jeffrey Koplan. “These state and ra- cial/ethnic-specific data are espe- cially critical when states are decid- ing how to target their funds to popu- lations in greatest need of heart dis- ease prevention services.” The report estimates overall heart death rates among U.S. men were 675 per 100,000 from 1991-1995. ‘ te State: ty * Semen tee cated sagem el et, sippy hensive iohedar seers etesnomar sani bineni ‘ 0 YES, | would like a 12 month subscription by mail for $40.ug Grants & Scholarships, too.

According to a recent ABC/Washington Post poll, Pres. Bush’s 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 Bush’s 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?
