Growing up we had this saying…….Keep it Simple………
God has made it very simple for us………..Be in HIS WORD……..Be in HIS WAYS……WALK with our LORD…..LISTEN……
God has given us all we need to live wonderful fruitful lives for HIM!
We do not need ETHICS REFORM! WE NEED GOD!!!!!
Only GOD CAN SAVE US!
Dear KKIM/KARS Family,
May the Strength, Peace and Wisdom of our Lord be with you and yours forever and ever.
I would like to share some thoughts with you that God has put on my mind this beautiful Saturday morning……..
First this scripture reading……….
Oh, magnify the LORD with me,
And let us exalt HIS name together.
I sought the LORD, and HE heard me,
And delivered me from all my fears.
They looked to HIM and were radiant,
And their faces were not ashamed.
This poor man cried out, and the
LORD heard him,
And saved him out of all his troubles.
AMEN!
Here are some thoughts……..
I am being told a lot about Immigration……many opinions……..Many Godly people do not agree with each other.
Others are afraid to speak out………do not want to face the judgement of others.
Here is what God has put on my heart…….
We have talked for years here at the CUP and KKIM what happens when you do not build your life on the foundation of the Lord…….when you do not walk with the Lord……..when you live a life of sin. When you lose your compass and go away from God.
The same thing has happened here in the Great United States of America.
We have lost our Godly compass.
We at one time in this Country had a very orderly way of welcoming people into our Country and having them become Citizens. This made our Country the Greatest Country ever! Under God’s protection.
Now what we are doing is not enforcing many laws that are on the books. That’s is why we are in the mess we are in, we as a Country did not enforce the law because we wanted such things as cheap labor. Doing the work many American’s would not do and still will not do.
Our Country fell into Greed……..Corruption………Our economy collapsed…..We did not enforce many laws and the laws regarding immigration……..we ignored them…and now we have a mess.
We must realize that when we are in a certain State of conditions………it is mainly the result of decisions or lack of decisions we made.
It is what it is………..
I am very tied of the Politicians making this a political matter……..I have a hard time believing anything these people say, because many of them are the reason for the problem.
As a Dear friend of mine said the other day, “I am tired of Politicians saying one thing and then doing the other”
I also am tired of them saying, “I am not a Politician”
I was told late last night be a Dear friend that has knowledge of these things, that many of the probation officers here in Albuquerque have been removed from their homes because of threats against them and their families from gangs in Mexico.
This is a complex problem……Really, Mexico has a Civil War going on……and it has come across the border…and this problem has been going on for years and the United States has ignored it. We have not helped our neighbor……..we just have given it lip service……and we now are paying the price for not addressing the problem.
What I am trying to get at……..is that the down fall of a society is the breaking of the law……..and we here in America have watched our Society become lawbreakers. And then justifying it.
Current affairs in America is the result of what we did or not do.
I am just a simple man……..and just putting out what God put on my heart….the Holy Spirit has sent me this message………
Let us remember…we can pass all the laws we want………..including the greatest laugh in the World called “Ethics Reform”…….until hearts are turned over to God…….it does not matter how many ethics reform measures are passed.
Just one more note:
We live in a Society where we have a Gov here in New Mexico who makes a big announcement of cutting over a thousand vacant jobs that will save us millions! I am so sorry that I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer but these jobs are vacant …….nobody is being paid anyhow! Hello? This is the kind of double talk that has gotten us to where we are at as a society.
Let us pray………Lord, Let us always look to YOU for guidance. Let us always be in YOUR WORD, in YOUR WAYS……In the name of JESUS, AMEN!
In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family

Dear KKIM/KARS Family,
May the Strength, Peace and Wisdom of our Lord be with you and yours forever and ever.
Wow! The majestic sunrise over the Sandia’s here in Albuquerque is God’s way of saying Good morning!
The wonders of our Lord!
Does the National Football League, CBS TV, and other Worldly organizations forgive better than the Church? Once upon a time, Ted Haggard had it all….family, a ministry that reached out to some 30 million followers who hung on his every word, whether on TV or in person.
But in 2006, it all fell apart when Pastor Ted admitted to “sexual immorality”—-and to buying methamphetamines. he was exiled from the Church he built and the state where he lived!
Yes kicked out of the Church and where he lived!
Read on……….
The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. Ephesians 1:7
With that here is a report from Pastor Mark Tross on our newsmaker of the Day last night on NM News and Views, Ted Haggard…….
Pastors Alan & Gail Hawkins of New Life City Church http://newlifecity.org, right here in ABQ, once again have brought Pastor Ted Haggard and his wife Gail to speak at their Church this weekend, so Ted was on with us and hopefully Dewey was able to make this evening’s meeting, so we can have a follow-up report tomorrow on NM News & Views. Check out their website listed above for all of the details, but the topic is ‘How to keep things together when you’re falling apart’ and of course, Ted is speaking from personal experiences, from his fall from grace (not really, but that’s usually what you hear about him and not the Redemption Power of Jesus being played out in his LIFE) three years ago. He said, “Make Life work well, even when it’s happening to you.” His wife, Gail, authored a book, ‘Why I Stayed,’ which speaks all about their recovery ‘process.’ “It’s on the bad days you have to make the decisions,” Ted remarked and there’s no disputing that. He and his wife will also be teaching Friday at 10am & 7pm and Saturday morning at 10, but there will be questions and answer periods as well. Ted says, “Don’t take yourself too seriously, humble yourself in the sighte of The Lord and he Will Lift You Up!” After mentioning another book, ‘Repenting From Religion,’ Ted let us know that the PGA, CBS and others in the world do a better job of forgiving and restoring than The Church, which is sad, but true, so we have some work to do.
Thank you Pastor Mark, I was not able to stay for Ted and Gail’s presentation but I had a very nice talk with both of them last night along with Pastor Alan and Gail Hawkins. Lord Willing tonight at 4:30 we will have Gail with us.
Let me share with you a writing from Gail in her book, “Why I Stayed”…….
Monday, November 13, 2006
I am married to a flawed man——a man as flawed as any other. Why should anyone be surprised? In our Christian world, we teach and believe the truths of the Scriptures and hope they will transform us, hope that goodness will grow in us and get rid of all the badness. But for some, for many, the realization of that hope in this lifetime seems forever distant. Occasionally it is brought near them, but then escapes them as they fall short of goodness yet one more time. Why Lord?
Ted has sought you with all his heart. Through pain, he has tried to press through—–through fasting and prayer and resistance to his sin—-yet, many times he has failed. That which he hopes for has eluded him.
Although disheartened, he has not given up. He tries again and again. Makes improvements and hopes it will work; that it will last this time.
The writings of Gail Haggard as her husband Ted was going through his struggles. How many people do we have in our lives that have gone through or are going through similar struggles? Maybe you are like me and Sharon and Pastor Mark, the three of us have had our struggles in our lives.
Lord Willing Gail will be with us tonight on NM News and Views at 4:30.
God forgives……….and we don’t at times? Who are we?
Let us pray……….
Lord, Let us be Christ like in all we do……in all we do……….let us not pick and chose…….Let us abide by Your Word. In the name of Jesus, AMEN!
In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
