Control anger without sin To the Editor: Anger by definition is wrath, the filling and expression of strong displeasure and hostility. Anger itself is not sinful but needs to be carefully watched and soon suppressed. I find in God’s word that He expresses anger and wrath. It is holy and just indignation against sin (Rom. 1:18). For God cannot sin, for He is holy and perfect in all that He does (Duet. 32:4; Job 34:10; Ps. 5:4, 145:17). In His word I find He is angry with the wicked everyday (Ps. 5:5, 7:11). He is also angry when His chosen people are disobedient to Him (Isa. ...

US must investigate Biden’s autopen decisions To the Editor: Throughout President Biden’s four-year term, many people noticed his serious cognitive decline. The real question is whether he actually made all of the executive decisions that were attributed to him. Of course, Biden’s staff denied Biden’s mental acuity problem. Their strategy was to hide the truth coupled with concerted steps to prevent the public from observing reality. It seems to me as Biden was losing control of himself throughout his time in office, his executive actions, especially pardons, cannot all be ...

State government allowing abortion is wrong To the Editor: It seems that killing babies is a winning issue in American elections these days. The three Supreme Court Justices up for retention in Pennsylvania join in ads boldly stating they will continue to protect the right of women to kill their babies (even though judges are supposed to be impartial and usually are in promoting themselves in elections). The fliers of the opposition supporting a ‘NO’ vote on retention conspicuously avoid the abortion issue, referring to other flawed positions of the current judges. They ...

Those led by God are his children To the Editor: All of mankind since the fall of Adam have been born sinners and alienated from God (Ps. 58:3; Isa. 48:8). Because of this depraved state “there is no man just upon earth, that doeth good and sinneth not” (eccl. 7:20). Paul declares in Romans chapter 3, “none righteous, none understand, none seek after God, none do good, not one” (Rom. 3:10-12) and “there is no fear of God before their eyes” Rom. 3:17). Because of the natural state of mankind all deserve condemnation and destruction. But because of the love of God for ...

Public notice legislation fails community To the Editor: In a column published Tuesday, Oct. 7, in the Lewistown Sentinel, Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association President William Cotter touted newspapers, their ties and commitment to their communities, and the expansion of access House Bill 1291 promises regarding local government transparency. He’s off the mark, in some ways entirely, and in others only for certain parts of our state. One thing he’s right about: “local journalism is a service we depend on every day.” It’s a service my hometown, where my family’s ...

Serve and praise God in this world To the Editor: All of mankind since the fall of Adam have been born sinners and alienated from God (Ps. 58:3; Isa. 48:8). Because of this depraved state “there is no man just upon earth, that doeth good and sinneth not” (eccl. 7:20). Paul declares in Romans chapter 3, “none righteous, none understand, none seek after God, none do good, not one” (Rom. 3:10-12) and “there is no fear of God before their eyes” Rom. 3:17).
