Featured Story

 

Matthew 8:1-3 (NIV) 1When he came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. 2A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” 3Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cured of his leprosy.

 The Jews lumped all types of skin diseases under one category. God had given Moses specific instruction about quarantining those who had skin disease. They were to live apart from others. If anyone approached them they had to warn them by shouting, “Unclean!”. To touch a person that had a skin disease required the one who touched them to go through a cleansing ritual to see if they had contracted the disease. This man’s disease must have been quite obvious. He may have had what we call leprosy. There was no need to tell Jesus what it was that he needed cleansing from.

It is hard to imagine not having the touch of another person for a long period of time. The man must have been not only suffering physically but emotionally as well. As he yelled, “Unclean!”, the people parted as if an invisible wedge cleared the way to Jesus. “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” The man expressed His faith in the ability of Jesus. He called Him a master. Jesus does not have servants and great wealth. He is a different kind of lord. He is master over His creation.

Then Jesus did something that required faith. He touched the man. If the man was not immediately cured, Jesus would have been considered defiled. Jesus would have to go through the cleansing ritual. Jesus responded, “I am willing. Be clean!” His touch and words made the man whole. We cannot defile Jesus. His purity overcomes our defilement. He is willing to touch and cleanse you. Are you suffering? Know that He is willing. He will touch you. His purity is greater than your defilement.

Consider: Jesus is willing to reach out and touch you.

CNN came in last among the big three, with just 33 percent indicating they really believe “the most trusted name in news.” All Original Content Copyright ©2017  hnewswire.com All Rights Reserved. “All Original Content Copyright ©2017  hnewswire.com All Rights…

NBC Is Building A Trump Normalization Machine Joe Scarborough, Megyn Kelly, Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice Connection, And Maybe Greta Van Susteren.

By StevieRay Hansen | January 4, 2017

NBC will have a machine ready to normalize him. Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough is cozying up to Trump, the network is literally paying Trump through Celebrity Apprentice, and MSNBC is reportedlyin talks to hire Greta Van Susteren, normalization effort at NBC begins at the top. MSNBC’s prime-time voices like Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow, and Lawrence O’Donnell are resisting efforts to normalize Trump. But it’s unclear whether they can win that fight with the leading voices at MSNBC and NBC News pushing the other way.

Health Care Commentary Don’t Let the Media Confuse You: Obamacare Is a Policy Failure

By StevieRay Hansen | January 4, 2017

Leave it to the media, which spent the latter half of 2016 highlighting how outrageously expensive Obamacare premiums were becoming, to suddenly shift gears in 2017 and stress the health law’s many “pluses.” Such was the case in a recent interview with Heritage President Jim DeMint, in which CNN anchor Carol Costello suggested that lawmakers would need to preserve the so-called benefits of Obamacare if they repealed it. In Costello’s words: For example, this is according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office and the Federal Reserve in Dallas. Preventative care provided by Obamacare … saves money and health care costs overall. In 2015, the cost of health care services increased 0.5 percent. The typical price increase before Obamacare, it was around 3 to 4 percent. Obamacare will lower the deficit by $143 billion over the next 10 years. So, there are pluses…

Pro-Israel activist can’t wait for Obama’s, Kerry’s exit Wednesday, January 4, 2017

By StevieRay Hansen | January 4, 2017

An expert on Islamic terrorism is blasting the Obama administration for its recent mistreatment of Israel at the United Nations. In one of its first acts of the new session, the GOP-controlled Congress is expected to vote on a resolution opposing Security Council Resolution 2334. That measure passed the Council just before Christmas when the United States chose to abstain from voting rather than veto the anti-Israel measure which calls for a cessation of Israeli settlements within Judea and Samaria as well as East Jerusalem. The Senate is also expected to vote on a resolution reiterating America’s support for Israel. Brigitte Gabriel, founder and president of ACT for America, called John Kerry America’s “most embarrassing and dangerously foolish” secretary of state following what she describes as his “remarkably disgraceful” news conference defending the administration’s decision to abstain in the U.N.…

Obama Going Out in a Blaze of Self-interest

By StevieRay Hansen | January 4, 2017

Town [Jonah Goldberg](http://townhall.com/columnists/jonahgoldberg) [TownHall.com](http://townhall.com/columnists/jonahgoldberg/2017/01/04/obama-going-out-in-a-blaze-of-selfinterest-n2266576) Posted: Jan 04, 2017 12:01 AM Of all Barack Obama’s costumes, the most ill-fitting is that of the hawk. The guise doesn’t work for all sorts of ideological and historical reasons. Plus there’s the fact that he’s rushing to put on the outfit as he’s heading out the door. The new sanctions against Russia are fine with me on the merits, even if they are remarkably tardy and being sold in no small part for domestic, political reasons. Russian President Vladimir Putin has been undermining American interests for a long time now. From the annexation of Crimea and a shadow war in Ukraine to his unabashed support for the butcher Bashar Assad in Syria, Putin has given the Obama administration every excuse to punch back. But until last week, Obama’s response had been to offer various…

Dems can’t figure out what went wrong

By StevieRay Hansen | January 4, 2017

Billy Davis, Steve Jordahl [(OneNewsNow.com)](https://www.onenewsnow.com/politics-govt/2017/01/04/dems-cant-figure-out-what-went-wrong) Democratic leaders still reeling from Election Day should reconsider their party’s disdain for people of faith, says a Christian apologist. “There has been a rejection of God,” observes Alex McFarland, “and therefore a lack of outreach to potential voters that have morality, religion and the Christian faith as their basis.” He recalls the recent Democratic Party platform, released last summer before the convention, that took sides against Israel, against biblical sexuality, and worst of all, against life itself, a reference to its pro-abortion stance. Just how radical were the party’s principles? “The most progressive Democratic platform ever,” The Washington Postdeclared. “Democrats advance most progressive platform in party history,” NBC News similarly proclaimed. It was at the 2012 convention, after the platform was approved, that hundreds of delegates loudly voted to keep a reference to faith…

Today’s Verse….

By StevieRay Hansen | January 3, 2017

Thoughts on Today’s Verse…. We cannot renew ourselves on our own. We can guard ourselves from corrupting influences. We can offer ourselves to God and come to better discern his will (Romans 12:1-2). Ultimately, however, God himself must do the renewing, not just when we are saved, but daily. Only God’s grace can sustain, empower, and renew us. Let’s offer ourselves to him. Then, let’s confidently ask for his grace to empower, perfect, and renew us! My Prayer… Father, I come to you asking for your grace to make me new in the way I look at things, especially how I view people. Please cleanse my heart and make me new in my mind and my spirit. I want to live each day of this coming year sharing your love, empowered by your Spirit, and aware of your grace. In…

Obama runs $100M vacation tab on taxpayers

By StevieRay Hansen | January 3, 2017

President Barack Obama’s legacy of running up the tab for taxpayers during his family’s exorbitant and frequent vacations is projected to reach an excess of $100 million before the close of his two terms as president – putting a strain on the economy, military and Secret Service. As the Obamas finish up nearly two weeks of vacation in Hawaii over the holidays – with their White House stay coming to an end – the president’s hypocrisy is becoming increasingly evident. “As a candidate in 2008, then Sen. Barack Obama (R-Ill.), vowed he would give up vacations if elected president, in order to completely focus on his job,” WND reported. “Fast-forward to the present, and it is now projected Obama will have spent more than $100 million in taxpayer funds on vacations during his eight years as president.” A legacy of…

Megyn Kelly, the Fox News anchor

By StevieRay Hansen | January 3, 2017

NEW YORK (January 3, 2017) — Megyn Kelly, the Fox News anchor whose 12-year stint has been marked by upheavals at her network and personal attacks on the campaign trail, is headed to NBC News. The move was confirmed by Kelly’s publicist, Leslee Dart. Kelly’s departure deprives Fox News of its second-most-watched host, behind only Bill O’Reilly. Her contract with the network was due to run out this summer. In the past two years, Kelly has weathered personal attacks from Donald Trump during his presidential campaign, and last summer she played a behind-the-scenes role in the ouster of Fox News founder Roger Ailes after multiple accusations of sexual harassment. She is expected to take on a multi-faceted role at NBC. The move was first reported by The New York Times.  [https://www.onenewsnow.com/ap/business/fox-news-star-megyn-kelly-headed-to-nbc-news](https://www.onenewsnow.com/ap/business/fox-news-star-megyn-kelly-headed-to-nbc-news)  All Original Content Copyright ©2017  hnewswire.com All Rights Reserved. “All…

NATIONAL SECURITY U.S. funding of U.N. seeing its last days? Tuesday, January 3, 2017 | Chad Groening (OneNewsNow.com)

By StevieRay Hansen | January 3, 2017

A conservative activist believes that there is a very credible possibility that the Trump administration – working with Congress – will cut back funding to the United Nations next year. In a recent interview, Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz, who is an avowed liberal Democrat who supported President Barack Obama – said that he agrees that it is time for the United States to defund the U.N. Gary Bauer of the Christians United for Israel Action Fund reminded Americans that in 15 days, President Barack Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry, and the entire crew of Left-wing ideologues will be out of office. The pro-Israel advocate is encouraged that President-elect Donald Trump has vowed that America’s relationship with Israel will change when he takes office. “And I think it is a very credible possibility that the Trump administration – potentially…
