By Austin Bishop 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it 15 and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. — 2 Timothy 3:14-17

Letters to the editor Gaming in the "Good Ole Days"

Weekly Best Of STH

Gaming in the "Good Ole Days" Gaming is gambling and seemingly has been around forever. Psalms 22:18 prophesied that the garments of Jesus would be parted and the fulfillment is recorded in Matthew 27:35 when the Roman soldiers who crucified Jesus cast lots for his inner garment. My uncle who refused adamantly to donate to gaming institutions relay a tale of a gambling event he witnessed as a young lad.

Jackson has a new police chief, Dr. RaShall Brackney. The Jackson city council approved Mayor John Horhn’s selection with one dissenting vote, the Northside’s city council member Ashby Foote. I can understand Foote’s vote. Brackney is a criminologist scholar, professor and book writer. She’s an intellectual. Jackson needs a drill sergeant police chief who can face down the gang leaders and tell them they have 24 hours to leave town.
