This evening Tuesday 10/6 7pm cst on “We Are Everyday People” global internet radio network…I’m goin in. Here’s why: No matter what happens in this life, “religion” always finds its way into the mix. God can do this, God can do that. Leave it in the hands of Jesus. Simply just trust in the lord and all will be taking care of. Prayer changes things. This is what I constantly hear, this is what I constantly read. Then I look around and witness this wicked state of the world in general and this “Christian” country in particular despite all the praying people. Mass shootings (even in church while praying), self-genocide, etc. Individuals believing themselves to be so blessed despite all the atrocities going on for others everywhere. Is God is playing favorites here? Is there something seriously wrong with this belief “system”. Should we instead be meditating and getting into the power of “self”? Many believe that getting info “self” IS getting into your God. Are we reaching out when we should be reaching “in”? Agree, disagree? 

Real Talk with Jimmy Williams.
