The School Board Chooses Jesus

[Johny Joe Hold]

I'm so proud of a public school board just east of Freehold in Davenport, Iowa.

The Board had an empty elementary school and needed to sell it. The official value was $290,000. A developer offered to buy the building for $290,000 and turn it into a home for military veterans.

A couple of the Board members are also members of a local Bible believing church. Their church wanted buy the property, turn it into a church centered youth place and save young souls for Jesus.

The problem was the church does not have much money. No problem, the School Board said, we'll sell the property for $30,000 and you can pay us when you have raised the money. The cause of Jesus is larger than whatever worried tax payers might have.

The building now belongs to the church. Praise Jesus and a pox on any "good government" complainers including the press:

Not just Godly, but a sign of good citizenship on the part of the school board. I mean, who wants a load of crazy military vets with PTSD roaming round their town having flashbacks?

From the linked source:

In 2018, the property was listed for sale at $650,000, and a local developer last week resubmitted his offer

Resubmitted his offer FOR LESS THAN HALF THAT! The Church on the other hand has very few assets yet need to show people the path to Salvation in Christ before the humanistic empiricists get started with their nonsense, masquerading garbage about "millions of years" and "no Adam & Eve" therefore "no inherited sin" and that's even before they get onto "stars still being formed" Genesis 2:1 or "no plants without sunlight" Genesis 1:11 (and much more) as science or history or whatever they've come up with lately.

And it's done for a reason. To prevent a true understanding of God and all He's done to set us free from sin. To short-circuit the idea of being born already deserving of torture. Christian doctrine explains not only that these facts are true but also why these facts are true. The amount of torment inflicted upon Jesus, the whipping, the nails driven through His hands and feet, the blood running out as He cried aloud, was necessary because of what Eve did (she was deceived) and what she did next (she told Adam) and what Adam did (he listened to her) but Christ's suffering did eventually stop. Ours never will, unless we trust Him.

That message needs to be well established BEFORE secular education commences and sustained by Christian activities. Nothing is more important and no sacrifice too great to be made.

Mark 12:42-43 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury.

Again from the linked source we learn that the Christian group, like the widow, is offering all that they have. More than that since their funds are insufficient to cover ongoing maintenance at the new facility they're taking on. That's a commitment to greater than 100% exceeding even the sacrifice of the widow's farthing. There are 960 farthings to an English pound.
