THE DISABILITY CRISIS IN AMERICA IS OUT OF CONTROL
Discussed by Robert Taishoff
with Able Americans (National Center for Public Policy Research)

Too many families in America have a loved one with a disability – especially parents with adult-aged children.

Today, new guest Robert Taishoff shares his story - the story of his daughter who is in danger of losing home healthcare services simply for crossing state lines.

Robert is a retired US Navy Captain and the chairman of the Campaign to Fix the Disability System, an initiative of Able Americans.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Many services for the disabled are financed by the Federal Government (our tax dollars), but administered and spent differently by each state? Does this cause roadblocks for those wanting to move to a different state?

Why is each state allowed to set their own specific rules?

Were state-by-state rules and regulations uniformly adopted for Military families, as well? Robert discusses the Care for Military Kids Act.

FLESH AND SPIRIT
Discussed by Mark Lanier
with Biblical Literacy (www.Biblical-Literacy.com)

Day 1

FUN FACTS: At one time, the word “awful” meant “full of awe” and “literally” meant “actually”. Even the difference between the English language and the British-English language is astounding!

This week, Mark Lanier discusses the importance of knowing the context behind word usage in the Bible, using Romans 8:1-8 as one example.

To view Mark Lanier’s video for this lesson, click here.

If you have a prayer request, need Scripture encouragement, or would like a copy of Mark’s lessons each week, email wantmore@biblical-literacy.org

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

What does flesh mean? What does spirit mean? What happens when we get the meaning wrong?

What did Paul mean when he wrote about the flesh and spirit?

What did Paul mean when he wrote “no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”?

What are the ramifications of not having consequences or punishment for actions?

Tune in tomorrow as Mark continues to break down Romans 8:1-4.

PRAYER
Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

Father,

As you take note of your humble servant today, remind me that someone is always watching.

They may be unknown to me, watching from the sideline, next door, or at the store, but they are watching.

May nothing I do or say cause someone to stumble.

May I choose to walk between your guardrails, Father.

Holy Spirit, fill me to overflowing.

Lord Jesus, shine through all my words and actions today, tomorrow, and always.

Amen
