The Star of Bethlehem

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, December 25, 2015 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

Isaiah prophesied, “The Lord Himself shall give you a sign … a virgin shall conceive, and bear a Son, and … call His name Immanuel. …For unto us a child is born … a Son is given … His name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

Micah said, “Bethlehem-Ephratah … out of thee shall He come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel ….”

Isaiah and Micah were God-called prophets, but He used the hired prophet Balaam to tell us a Star would come out of Jacob. That was the star that led the wise men to Jesus at Bethlehem.

Although we celebrate His birth today, He’s no longer in Bethlehem. He’s in Heaven, where some of your loved ones are. Heaven was created by God the same time He created earth. We don’t know when that was, but soon, He created mankind to live on the earth. We, also, know that God existed before He created Heaven and earth. Continue reading →

27 States Say, “No more refugees!”

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, December 18, 2015 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

The November 16th CNN article said “More than half the nation’s governors say Syrian refugees not welcome,” and listed the 27 states whose governors have good reason to feel that way. At least one of the Paris terrorists entered Europe among the wave of Syrian refugees.

Governor Nathan Deal said Georgia will not accept Syrian refugees “until the federal government and Congress conduct a thorough review of current screening procedures and background checks.” But, this is the problem: The 1980 Refugee Act gave the federal government power to place refugees anywhere in the country.

American University law professor Stephen Vladeck put it this way, “…A state can’t say it is legally objecting, but it can refuse to cooperate, which makes things much more difficult.”

Alabama’s Governor Bentley said, “After full consideration of this weekend’s attacks of terror on innocent citizens in Paris, I will oppose any attempt to relocate Syrian refugees to Alabama through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. …I will not stand complicit to a policy that places the citizens of Alabama in harm’s way.” Continue reading →

Opinions of Presidential Candidates

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, December 11, 2015 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

Presidential candidates have publicized their positions on illegal aliens and refugees. Democrat Hillary Clinton, says her immigration plans would go even farther than proposals by Obama, who considers refugees to be “New Americans,” although their cultures are totally incompatible with United States culture.

Democrat candidate Bernie Sanders has a more sensible approach. He denounced “a completely open border, so that anyone can come into the U.S.” because it would substantially lower wages.

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush said illegal aliens are guilty only of “an act of love,” and he would give them permanent “legal status combined with” securing the border.

Senator Marco Rubio and Ohio Governor John Kasich have different ideas. Kasich said the 12 million illegals already here should be “legalized once we find out who they are.” But, Rubio chose to speak Spanish on the Spanish-language network, to say Obama’s executive amnesty “can’t be terminated because there are already people benefiting from it.” Continue reading →

The High Cost of Charity

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, December 4, 2015 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

The next presidential election might be decided on what the candidates would do about the biggest elephant in the room – illegal aliens, refugees, and mass migration. Wrapped up in that massive issue is the burdensome cost of welfare benefits, education, medical care, housing, transportation, and job training.

The Government Accountability Office outlines benefits available to refugees and special immigrant visa holders in the U.S. Initially and for three months every refugee – each adult and each minor – receives $1,850 per person to cover the cost of getting here and being settled here, such as their reception, initial housing, food, clothing, referral services and social programs. It’s unclear whether the grant is $1,850 per month or for all three months.

There are three cash programs. They can get TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) for up to five years. If they don’t qualify for TANF, low-income individuals with dependent children get refugee cash assistance up to eight months. Or they get SSI, supplemental security income, up to nine years if they are low-income, elderly, blind, or disabled.

For up to seven years, low-income refugees receive healthcare under Medicaid, State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), or refugee medical assistance from the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) that provides an eight-month healthcare program similar to Medicaid for those who don’t qualify for Medicaid. Low-income individuals receive unlimited food stamp coverage. Continue reading →
