BEAR ONE ANOTHER'S BURDENS

 

Bear one another's burdensHow are we to "bear one another's burdens"? When Jesus Christ first started His ministry, He said: "The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed, and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord" (Luke 4:18-19).

Then He showed His disciples how to preach the Gospel and minister to the sick, handicapped and poor (Luke 5:12-15). Next, He sent them out two by two and they practiced what He taught (Luke 9:1-2): preach the Gospel, care for the needy and heal the sick. After that, He taught His followers to minister to the same audience: "the poor, the maimed, the lame and the blind" (Luke 14:12-13 and 21), and He put it into practice: "Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people" (Matthew 9:35).

And in the Great Commission, Jesus commanded His disciples to make more disciples and teach their disciples to FULFILL ("observe" but not just spectate!) everything He had taught His disciples to DO (Mat. 28:18-20). What was it that He taught His disciples to DO? .... [READ MORE...]

 

Pray for the Lord to raise up laborers who will help bear the burdens of the poor, brokenhearted, captives, blind, and crushed. Will you bear these burdens with them?

  

 

A Personal Note:Jacksons 6 laying hensJackson's secondary students Jackson Mwenula runs Sun Rays Secondary School in Bunda, Tanzanias, just a few miles away from Vision Complex Primary School. We helped Jackson buy six laying hens and 150 kilos of chicken feed so they can sell eggs for extra income and to feed his students.

Simon John Walia, who runs Vision Complex, tells us that after we helped them buy chickens and roosters last year, they now have so many chickens, they can't count them all! Jackson and Simon are two of our Morning Prayers participants. Here's my latest update at the Vision Complex website: https://Vision-Complex.org/#new-classroom: their new classroom is coming right along!

Maureen's brooders Maureen Omundi in Nairobi, Kenya, is also a Morning Prayers participant. We've helped her buy six brooding hens so she can raise and sell chicks now. Earlier, we helped her buy six layer hens so she can sell the eggs. She is now having serious headaches and back pain from doing heavy work cleaning a much larger chicken coop for pay. Please pray for Maureen and her daughter Kayla!

NEXT, THE NEWS:
 

2. PLANNED BARRENHOOD ENDANGERS CLIENTS WITH EASY ACCESS TO CROSS-SEX HORMONES
from: LiveAction

SYNOPSIS: This article explains how Planned Barrenhood is endangering clients by providing easy access to cross-sex hormones, sometimes to minors. Undercover investigations revealed Planned Barrenhood facilities offering hormones after minimal consultation, even virtually. Several individuals, including Cat Cattinson and Fred, reported receiving hormone prescriptions quickly and without thorough evaluations.

Detransitioners like Helena Kerschner shared negative experiences, citing high doses and lack of proper care from Planned Barrenhood. Cristina Hineman and others have sued Planned Barrenhood alleging inadequate mental health assessments before prescribing hormones. The article cites a journalist, Jennifer Block, who discovered that Planned Barrenhood is the largest provider of cross-sex hormones for young people.

"Planned Parenthood" is a total misnomer: it promotes barrenness, not parenthood. Pray for an end to their grisly business of killing unborn babies and sterilizing young women and men by providing them cross-sex hormones.

 

3. POPE LEO XIV VOICES CONCERN OVER ESCALATION OF RUSSIA'S WAR AGAINST UKRAINE
from: RISU

SYNOPSIS: Pope Leo XIV expressed concern about the "significant escalation" of Russia's war in Ukraine, reported Radio Svoboda. "I am following with concern the war in Ukraine, which has intensified significantly in recent days. I wish to express my solidarity with all those suffering as a result of the recent attacks, which have also targeted civilians," the Pope said on May 27 during his weekly audience at the Vatican.

"War does not solve problems; it exacerbates them. It does not build security; it multiplies suffering and hatred. Where missiles and drones fall, hopes are crushed, homes and places of worship are destroyed, and innocent lives are cut short," added Pope Leo XIV. On May 25, Russia urged the United States to evacuate its diplomatic mission and warned of impending systematic strikes on Kyiv. Other countries received similar warnings. UN Secretary-General António Guterres expressed his "deep concern" over Russia's statement.

Pray that the fighting, bombing, and killing of innocent civilians in Ukraine will end, and for a soon, just settlement of this senseless war that Russia started way back in 2014.

 

4. AUTOPSY REVEALS COLORADO TEENAGER DIED AFTER PLANNED BARRENHOOD ABORTION
from: Washington Examiner

SYNOPSIS: An autopsy report revealed that Alexis Arguello, an 18-year-old in Colorado, died from complications after a second-trimester abortion at a Planned Barrenhood clinic. The death, which occurred in February 2025, was caused by disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), a blood clotting complication.

The report noted that Arguello experienced a drop in blood pressure and rapid heartbeats post-procedure, despite receiving blood transfusions. Colorado has some of the most permissive abortion laws in the country, allowing abortions up to 40 weeks of pregnancy. As of 2023, the most up-to-date state data, there were nearly 14,700 abortions in Colorado, with roughly 3% after 21 weeks.

This news is especially painful for me, having grown up in Colorado and met my future wife at U. of Colorado. Pray for this state to turn back from its present wicked, anti-life laws.

 

5. FEDS ANNOUNCE 'LARGEST AUTISM FRAUD BUST IN AMERICAN HISTORY'
from: Disability Scoop

SYNOPSIS: Federal officials announced charges against 15 people in a $90 million Medicaid fraud scheme, the largest autism fraud bust in U.S. history. The fraud targeted state-managed Medicaid programs, involving childcare facilities, housing services, and home support programs. The investigation included cases against individuals like Fahima Egeh Mahamud, who ran a daycare center and allegedly defrauded the Child Care Assistance Program.

Other defendants, like Shamso Ahmed Hassan and Hanaan Mursal Yusuf, allegedly used kickbacks to diagnose children with autism fraudulently. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Mehmet Oz were among the top federal officials present at the news conference. Officials highlighted concerns about the impact of the fraud on vulnerable children and the lack of oversight in Medicaid spending, which increased by 50% since the start of COVID. The Department of Justice is hiring more prosecutors to combat Medicaid fraud nationwide.

Ask the Lord that such cases of vast welfare fraud will be discovered and prosecuted, so that future potential fraudsters will learn that crime doesn't pay.

 

6. SCIENTISTS SAY THEY’VE REVERSED BRAIN AGEING WITH A SIMPLE NASAL SPRAY
from: Science Daily

SYNOPSIS: [photo credit: Shutterstock] Texas A&M University researchers developed a nasal spray that may reverse brain ageing. The spray aims to reduce inflammation and restore the brain's energy systems. Two doses of the spray improved memory and cognitive function for months, raising hopes for future treatments targeting dementia and brain fog.

The treatment uses extracellular vesicles (EVs) loaded with microRNAs, delivered directly to the brain. The therapy targets inflammatory systems, including the NLRP3 inflammasome and the cGAS-STING signaling pathways. Improved mitochondrial function helped brain cells recover their ability to process and store information. Researchers believe the nasal spray could lead to new treatments for dementia and other age-related cognitive decline, as mentioned by Dr. Ashok Shetty.

Thank God for this discovery that looks like a couple of nasal spray treatments can reverse brain ageing and cognitive decline.

 

7. MEDICALRIDE: NON-EMERGENCY MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION FOR DISABLED
from: Disabled World

SYNOPSIS: This article examines how non-emergency medical transportation has become a significant healthcare access issue for people with disabilities, older adults, and family caregivers. Drawing on CDC data showing that 14.4% of adults with disabilities lacked reliable transportation in 2022, along with CMS findings linking transportation barriers to 25% or more of missed clinic appointments, the piece explains why standard rideshare and taxi services often cannot meet specialized needs such as wheelchair, stretcher, bariatric, or hospital discharge transport.

It also addresses the price variability families encounter when arranging private-pay rides, the misconception that older adults will not use digital booking tools, and the role that provider transparency and clearer capability information can play in keeping treatment plans on track for patients who depend on accessible vehicles to reach dialysis, neurology, rehabilitation, and other ongoing care.

Pray that Chrisitians will also step up to the task of transporting disabled and elderly people of their church to medical visits as well as to church and other errands.

 

 

   

NOW, OUR VIEWS:
 

 

HEARING 'THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES'

 

 

the musc of the spheres Over the past several months I've added some physical therapy exercises for my arthritis to my morning workouts. I count them in various langauges so I can also give my brain a workout. One exercise I count in Spanish, and at first I was mixing up the numbers because about all I know in Spanish are the numbers one to ten and some simple phrases like "Good morning," "Good evening," and "I don't speak Spanish" that I learned when my older brother and sisters were taking Spanish in high school. (I took German instead.)

But this morning a strange and wonderful thing happened: I could hear the music of the numbers! They were all in harmony, I didn't mix up or forget any: I heard their rhythm, harmony and melody! Numbers, you know, are what makes music "work"– musical notes are spaced at exact mathematical wave lengths relative to each other. Math, physics, and music make the world go around! As our son, an architect and musician, says – "Architecture is frozen music."

The blurb about the above book states – "The parallel histories of music and science – from celestial harmony to cosmic dissonance. For centuries, scientists and philosophers believed that the universe was a stately, ordered mechanism, mathematical and musical. The perceived distances between objects in the sky mirrored (and were mirrored by) the spaces between notes that formed chords and scales. The smooth operation of the cosmos created a divine harmony that composers sought to capture. With The Music of the Spheres, readers will see how this scientific philosophy emerged...."

God created the universe – and us – to be in harmony with each other. But the world is increasingly full of disharmony, chaos, wars, beeps, notifications, phones ringing... so many disruptions and interruptions that it's hard to regain that harmony. It takes real effort to learn math and music. Maybe you've heard algebra students say – "This stuff doesn't make any sense! It's really stupid!" But in fact, it's the student who's stupid, not the algebra. Or perhaps the student is just lazy and doesn't want to strain his/her brain.

Advanced algebra that has many variables is hard to understand and solve, but not impossible, when the variables are all relative to each other mathematically. But the key is to find the one or more fixed values, then see what is their mathematical relationship to the variables, and thus solve the problem. Then "Eureka!" – the light goes on!

So when you hear someone say – "Everything is relative, there are no absolutes!" – thus thinking: since they're free to believe whatever they want, they can behave however they wish, remind them of advanced algebra! There must be at least one fixed value in order to solve life's tough problems. That fixed value is the logic of the universe, the Logos: "In the beginning was the Logos ['Word' in the Greek original], and the Logos was with God, and the Logos was God. The same {Logos) was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him. Without Him was not anything made that has been made. In Him (the Logos) was life, and the life was the light of men."

CAN YOU SPARE A CUP OF COFFEE FOR OUR MINISTRY?

If just 5% of the people who see this would give $5 per month (just 17¢ per day!) – the average cost of a coffee at Starbucks – we could cover our operating expenses and do much more in spreading the word, supporting orphans, and providing accessible housing for the disabled. So please DONATE ...thanks!
