Did you know that Dr. Anthony Fauci's $417,608 Tops All Federal Salaries, but Does Performance Match the Pay? I think not. Should we get more than one Medical Doctor's opinion and not someone working for the government, just asking. What does the Bible say about not putting your trust in man? Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save. When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing. the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them-- the LORD, who remains faithful forever. Psalm 146     The Bible on Trust The words translated "trust" in the Bible mean "a bold, confident, sure security or action based on that security." Trust is not the same as faith, which is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8-9). Instead, trusting is what we do because of the faith we have been given. Trusting is believing in the promises of God in all circumstances, even in those where the evidence seems to be to the contrary. Hebrews 11 talks about faith, which is accepting and believing the truth that God reveals about Himself, supremely in the person of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Nevertheless, the practical consequence of faith in God is trust, which we prove by living out our full acceptance of God's promises day by day. Furthermore, it is by this trust that we are promised peace: "You will keep in peace him whose mind is steadfast because he trusts in you" (Isaiah 26:3).   The classic verse regarding trust is Proverbs 3:5: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." This verse sums up the Bible's teaching on trust. First, it is the Lord in whom we are to trust, not ourselves or our plans, and indeed not the world's wisdom and devices. We trust in the Lord because He and He alone is truly trustworthy. His Word is trustworthy (Psalm 93:5; 111:7; Titus 1:9), His nature is faithful and true (Deuteronomy 7:9; Psalm 25:10; 145:13; 146:6), and His plans for us are perfect and purposeful (Isaiah 46:10; Jeremiah 29:11). Further, because of God's nature, we are to trust Him with all our hearts, committing every aspect of our lives to Him in complete confidence. Finally, we are not to trust in ourselves because our understanding is temporal, finite, and tainted by our sinful natures. Trusting in ourselves is like walking confidently across a rotten wooden bridge over a yawning chasm thousands of feet deep. Disaster inevitably follows.   Trust in God is a feature of many of the psalms of David. There are 39 references to trust in the Psalms alone, whether referring to trusting in God and His Word or not trusting in riches or the things of this world. Based on this trust, David finds deliverance from all the evil he encounters. Many of David's psalms describe situations when he was pursued by Saul and his army, as well as his other enemies, and always did the Lord come to his aid. One thing that can be noted about biblical trust is that it always engenders further confidence in our God. The man of God never stops trusting in God altogether. His faith may be knocked, He may stumble, or He may fall into the foulest of sins, but "though he stumbles, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand" (Psalm 37:24). The man of God knows that, though trials will beset in this life, his trust will not waiver because that trust is based on faith in the promises of God: the promise of eternal joy with the Lord and the guarantee of an inheritance that "can never perish, spoil and fade" (1 Peter 1:4).     The Bible on Violence   So what does the Bible say about violence? Violence is defined as "physical force exerted to violate, damage, or abuse," and sadly, violence is a part of everyday life. It's in our movies and television shows, and we live in a world where power is often established through violence. But for Christians, the way of the world is always trumped by the truth of the Word.   First of all, violence in mind is just as hurtful as violence by the hands. Leviticus 19:17 says, "Do not hate your brother in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in his guilt." When we know someone is in sin, is it more loving to keep it quiet and build up hate and resentment towards them? God says that we should speak frankly, and Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:21-22 that murderous anger can lead the angry man to judgment from God as quickly as a physical blow. The violence he exhibits toward someone else can be brought back upon himself by God.   What about violence in war? Exodus 20:13 had been incorrectly translated as "do not kill," but it literally means "do not murder." God has allowed for just wars throughout the history of His people. From Abraham to Deborah to David, God's people have fought as instruments of judgment from a righteous and holy God. Romans 13:1-4 tells us to submit ourselves to government authorities and that nations have the right to bear the sword against evildoers, both foreign and domestic.   Violence occurs, but we must recognize the difference between holy judgment on sin and our own personal vendettas against those we dislike, which is the inevitable outcome of pride (Psalm 73:6). While men are more prone to accept violence (especially as cultures depict real men as those who never cry, always have a plan, and carry a gun), the wisest man of all time wrote, "Do not envy a violent man or choose any of his ways" (Proverbs 3:31). Prayer and patience beats violence and anger on any day.   In my Closing As we embark upon a New Year, once again, we find that we are still dealing with this Pandemic in America . But, as you know, the entire world is going through much of the same.   I don't know about you, but perhaps there was a sense of hope last year at this time that as we turned the page on 2020, this would all be behind us within a few months. But that's not the case despite man's best efforts of masks, vaccines, and mandates!   While humanity can only do what we can in our strength, I want to remind you today that God is still on the Throne regardless of where we have been or where we are going! Believers and non-believers alike   There is a wonderful verse of scripture which serves as a reminder of who God is found in Revelation 22:13 (NKJV) 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”   While we cannot possibly know what the future holds, we know who holds the future! We are not even gifted enough to know what tomorrow will bring to us, but as Christians, we need to rest assured that God does!   When I understand just a bit of how much God loves me, it puts my mind at ease about His plans and purposes.   This New Year will unfold as God has planned it to happen. Not one thing will take place that does not first sift through the loving hands of an almighty God.   There are many times I don't understand the ways of God, but that's not something we should concern ourselves with. We must only trust Him!   Isaiah 55:8 (NKJV) 8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.   Moving forward into this New Year, I want to encourage you to live your life to the glory of God. We can live in confidence and not timidity! We can live our lives in boldness and assurance because God is on the Throne!   There's a beautiful song written by Bill Gaither many years ago, and the lyrics are as powerful today (maybe more so) as when they were written:   Because He lives, I can face tomorrow. Because He lives, all fear is gone. Because I know, yes I know, He holds the future. This life is worth the living, just because He lives!   Keep God first in this New Year, and you will be amazed at the things God will do in you, through you, and for you!

It’s May, which means it’s Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. Or APPI month, however you want to call it. But it’s a month to celebrate all Asians, honor Asian excellence, and remember the Asian diaspora. This is not limited to just Asian or East Asian Americans. We really struggled to capture the emotions we have around the events of the past few months specifically and the hidden women we wanted to feature. We want to feature these 6 women below because they were hidden in society; they were going about their lives, each with their dreams, families, friends, struggles, and more. Yet upon their death, they were made hyper visible. And now, they are made invisible again. We don’t want them to be invisible. They are, and were each one of us. We could have been them. Please remember each of their names and the legacy they have left behind. Daoyou Feng, Hyun Jung Grant (Kim), Sun Cha Kim, Soon Chung Park, Xiaojie Tan, Young Ae Yue More information on our website. Chloe Zhao: Best Director Academy Award and Youn Yuh-jung: Best Supporting Actress Don’t forget these women. Listen and enjoy!

This episode features three interviews with organizers and scholars concerned with Asian migrant sex work: SWAN Vancouver (Alison Clancey and Kelly Go), Dr. Lily Wong, and Dr. Yuri Doolan. On March 16, 2021, Robert Aaron Long targeted three Atlanta-area spas and massage parlors and killed eight people: Delania Ashley Yuan González, Xiaojie Tan, Daoyou Feng, Paul Andre Michels, Hyun Jung Grant, Soon Chung Park, Suncha Kim, and Yong Ae Yue. Six of these victims were Asian women. Within the days following the shooting, many groups representing women, Asian Americans, sex workers, and migrants, have collectively mourned and sent strength and solidarity to the eight victims and their families. This podcast episode seeks to express solidarity with these groups by highlighting the work of scholars and organizers who have been studying the racially encoded figures and the broader histories of Asian migrant sex work. We hope to give space here to understand how the violence that occurred on March 16 was imbricated within a racial capitalist structure that views Asian and Asian American women as disposable objects, a view that has been historically continuous with the histories of Chinese exclusion (initiated by fears of Chinese sex workers and yellow peril), and with over one hundred and fifty years of US imperialism in Asia, from the colonial theft of Hawai'i and the Philippine-American War to Japanese Incarceration, The Korean War, The Vietnam War, and the growth of over eight-hundred military bases across the world. As the organizers and scholars interviewed here stress, it is crucial now to join groups local and international that stand for the decriminalization of migration and sex work, and to reject calls for hate-crime laws or anti-sex trafficking laws, or any legislation that would bring more policing, all of which would only make migrants and sex workers more vulnerable and stigmatized.

This is a statement from the APIDA (Asian, Pacific Islander, and Desi) + Christianity Life Together group of New City Church in response to the mass shooting in Atlanta this week. New City Church is based out of Minneapolis, MN. Details for Sunday morning worship, Life Together groups (all of which you can participate in virtually) and more are on their website. Website: http://grownewcity.church/ Facebook: facebook.com/GrowNewCity Instagram: @grownewcity Watch the statement here. Statement: New City Church is horrified by the mass shooting in Georgia. We grieve with the families of the victims and all who mourn their loss. Park Soon Chung, Hyun Jung Grant, Kim Suncha, Yue Yong Ae, Xiaojie Tan (谭小杰）, Daoyou Feng, Delaina Ashley Yaun, Paul Andre Michels. Six of the eight people killed were Asian. Seven were women. This attack is part of a long pattern of anti-Asian racism, xenophobia, racialized misogyny, toxic masculinity, exotification, and fetishization. Before the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882, Chinese women were specifically targeted with the Page Act, which barred them from entering the country on the grounds that these “immoral Chinese women” would become sex workers. Abroad, U.S. imperialism in Asia has created and perpetuated a racialized, misogynist narrative of Asian women as objects of military conquest. In the past year there has been a marked rise in anti-Asian violence that disproportionately targets women and the elderly. The shooting in Georgia is the most egregious example of a larger and longer history of violence. Likewise, the continued cultural stigma and hatred against sex workers, particularly female and trans sex workers, continues to drive violence against all women, whether they are sex workers or not. We also recognize the systemic violence that is done to migrant workers, including sex workers, by criminalization and deportation. At New City Church, we denounce in no uncertain terms the white supremacy, purity culture, racialized misogyny, toxic masculinity, and gun culture that converged in this murderous event. We believe that all of these are examples of Empire, which is what Jesus came to dismantle. We remember that throughout the Bible, God chose marginalized people to move through the world. God chose women (like Anna), and outsiders (like Ruth), and sex workers (like Rahab) to show the world that we must center marginalized voices if we are to love God--and indeed, if we are to survive at all. And so, we are committed to ongoing and prayerful work to dismantle these logics of harm in our systems, our church, and ourselves. With God's help, we will continue to practice collective liberation on earth as it is in heaven.

Warning: Explicit Conversations About Politics, Culture, & Sexuality It's our 13th ride on the F.D.R. Love Train, now roaring through a Tunnel of Darkness as we react, mourn, explore and analyze the horrific mass murder of eight people in the “Spa Shootings” that started in the little village of Acworth, Georgia and spread through Atlanta. Was it a “Hate Crime” against sex workers as well as Asian-American women? What is “sex addiction,” and why did the self-confessed mass murderer, Robert Aaron Long, use that long-debunked term to explain what Captain Jay Baker of the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office so infuriatingly called a “really bad day for him”? Who are the victims who actually HAD a “really bad day,” and how can we honor their loss with love? Xiaojie Tan, Hyun Jung Grant, Daoyou Feng, Soon Chung Park, Suncha Kim, Yong Ae Yue, Delaina Ashley Yaun, Paul Andre Michels are the names of the dead. Elcias Hernandez-Ortiz was critically injured. The Georgia Massage Parlor Massacre appears to have been a terrible *perfect storm* of three converging toxic factors: 1) Religious sexual abuse; in this case, a devoutly Evangelical, erotophobic cult of “purity” fostered by the killer's family, church (Crabapple First Baptist) and treatment centers (HopeQuest and Maverick) operating almost like a terrorist “cell,” 2) The Sex Addictionology racket; “sex addiction” being a bogus diagnosis (not accepted in the DSM-5), yet an extremely popular accusation AND excuse for unconventional or just bad behavior, as well as the Religious Right's current term of shame for old-time “sin”; and 3) Guns; easy availability (no waiting period) and, while most erotic activities and even sexual thoughts are denigrated, a “fetish” for firearms is elevated, thereby creating a lethal “ammosexual” desire to fire phallic weaponry, instead of just “shooting” the “gun” between your legs safely and consensually. We also discuss the Armie Hammer “cannibalism” story's development into a full-on LAPD rape investigation; Biden's threatening war of “killer” claims with Putin; how proud we are that America is finally #1 in the world regarding something good (vaccinations!), but that we still need to mask up (and make it sexy!). We also talk with Elvis tribute artist Smokey Binion, Jr. (calling in from a small Texas panhandle town that's almost as Christian-conservative a community as Acworth) who longs to “shake a leg” (which leg?) in Bonoboville, and we enjoy a few eargasms and jokes (laughter is a mental orgasm). But our focus is primarily on the tragic and appalling Massage Parlor Massacre, and the best antidote to the mounting madness is following the Bonobo Way of sex-positivity, female empowerment, male well-being and peace through pleasure. That's not artificial consumerist pleasure, but real organic healing pleasure. Post-show, we play a very relevant 2012 throwback, “From ‘The Myth of Sex Addiction' to a Sex Addict Orgy,” featuring The Myth of Sex Addiction author Dr. David Ley. We also thank some of our comrades, including Goddess Soma Snakeoil, Veronica Monet and the wonderful folks at DomCon and Sanctuary, for their uplifting activism in sex work and the sex-positive community during these troubled times. Let's decriminalize and destigmatize consenting adult sex work now!

We take a pause to acknowledge the f*cked up, senseless hate crimes committed against (mostly Asian women) Xiaojie Tan, Delaina Ashley Yaun, Daoyou Feng, Soon Chung Park, Hyun Grant, Paul Andre Michels, Suncha Kim, and Yong Ae Yue. Then, we try to lighten the mood with a lightning quiz segment.  

The Fulton County Medical Examiner released the names of the victims in the Atlanta mass killings: Soon C. Park, 74; Hyun Jung Grant, 51; Suncha Kim, 69; Yong A. Yue, 63; Delaina Ashley Yaun, 33; Xiaojie Tan, 49, who owned one of the massage businesses; Paul Andre Michels, 52; Daoyou Feng, 44. CORRECTION: Elcias Hernandez-Ortiz (from Guatemala) remains hospitalized in intensive care after being shot in the head outside Youngs Asian Massage. He will need facial surgery. Stop AAPI Hate documents 3,795 racially motivated attacks against Asian Americans from March 2020 to February 2021, noting that the number is likely a fraction of the attacks that occurred, because many were not reported to the group. Racist tweets made 10 years ago have cost Alexi McCammond, 27, her new job as editor in chief at TEEN VOGUE, which she was supposed to start next week. Five White House staffers have been fired for disclosures of past marijuana use. New data from the Anti-Defamation League show domestic violent extremists pose a heightened security threat in 2021.

On March 16, 2021, a gunman opened fired at three different massage parlors in the metropolitan area of Atlanta, Georgia. In less than three hours, 21-year-old Robert Aaron Long shot and killed eight people, six of whom were Asian women. Their names are:Soon Chung Park 박순정 (74 years old)Hyun Jung Grant [김]현정 (51)Sun Cha Kim 김순자 (69)Yong Ae Yue 유용애 (63)Delaina Ashley Yaun (33)Paul Andre Michels (54)Xiaojie Tan 谭小洁 (49)Daoyou Feng 冯道友 (44)Jane Shi and I had scheduled our March 17 interview weeks ago.
