That when you know people are paying attention to the product line. Coming with Hyundai’s big 5year/60,000 mile New Vehicle warranty along with 10year/100,000 mile Powertrain Warranty, plus 7-year/Unlimited mile Anti-perforation Warranty and 5-year/Unlimited mile Roadside Assistance.

This provides a smooth sifting motion and a well balanced with plenty of cargo and passengers space. Among the safety advanced technology the new Santa Fe has Vehicle Stability Management with traction control, along with ABS with Electronic Brake Force Distribution and Brake Assist. Throw in Down Hill brake control and Hill start assist control this baby is about as technically sound as they come. The overall styling is much more modern and up to date with a bevel front end much like the more expensive models. The rear has a deep slant and chrome-tipped dual exhaust tips really set it off with the rear spoiler. Front fog lights help show off the rugged side of the vehicle. Roof side rails help accent the new styling and a more expensive look. Our test vehicle came just under 40 Grand.

vehicle. Let me also note we had to make a seriously sudden stop but the Santa Fe came to swift smooth stop some 4 to 5 feet from a fatality on 290 just outside Houston on our way back. The ABS worked well and the vehicle did not slide nor did it spin out of control, just a smooth sudden stop! Clearly an import with 83 per
cent of its part from Korea with the final assembly point being in Ulsan, Korea and both the engine and transmission are Korean built. Only 4 per cent of the new Santa Fe parts are from the United States and Canada. In closing let me add that Hyundai is also willing to give you a full tank of gas with your purchase!

TASSELS TURN FOR FOUR GRADUATES IN THE SAME FAMILY Graduating is the pinnacle achievement in most young people’s lives. It is the culmination of several years of learning, growing and maturing into someone that is prepared to produce positive results that will serve themselves and society productively. One local family will get to experience the joy and celebrations that graduating brings four times in less than a month as the entire family of four are graduating and moving onto a new chapter in their
lives. Loletha Turner, a single mother of three will receive her Accounting MBA from Texas Southern University May 16; her daughter, Carletha Smith, just days ago marched across stage to receive the Associates Degree from Lone Star College on May 9; son, Jerrin Turner will graduate from Humble High School May 23; and daughter, Lailah Thompson will graduate from Humble Vista Academy June 4, from kindergarten to first grade.
“It has been a roller coaster experience preparing for four straight weekends of graduation ceremonies,” Turner says of the experience. “I only realized about three weeks ago that we will all be wearing graduation caps and gowns. Everyone has been busy trying to finish these final days of classes, but I think that we are finally getting to a point where we feel like we can breathe and see the light at the end of the tunnel.” Taking a cue from their mother who instilled in them that they must make a commitment to and finish what they start, Carletha is continuing her studies in the hopes of becoming a nurse practitioner and Jerrin, who will graduate in the top 10% of his class, will study engineering. Lailah, as she prepares to leave the ‘kindergarten baby’ status
behind, is already advanced for first grade level. Loletha herself will be graduating with honors and was recently inducted into the Jesse H. Jones Beta Gamma Sigma international honor society chapter. While this was not planned and sort of just happened, it has been no easy task to get to this point. Loletha and Carletha both work full-time and Jerrin works part time. Every one pitches in and helps with Lailah and sometimes they only see each other in passing. Loletha gives credit for this accomplishment to her Christian faith and the support she receives from her mother and several of her co-workers who hold her up on days when she feels like she can’t go on. Despite dealing with close family medical emergencies over the past few months that could have
taken her off track of finishing her master’s program she has fought through it and found a way to deal with the things that came her way. “It’s tough being a single mother; however, I am living proof that whatever you want to accomplish can be done. I believe that it takes a village to raise children because one person can’t do it all. I want to be that model citizen to give back and help others.” As for as celebrating everyone’s accomplishments, Loletha plans to have one big party in June to celebrate. “I want to celebrate my kids, not necessarily myself, but them. Because as a parent I feel that is what I should do. Trying to get them into college has taken a lot of energy and once all that is done I will look to plan a celebration.”

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK MYLES MARSHALL-HUMBLE KINGWOOD
ALEXIS DUNCAN - DE SOTO By King Arthur Prayther A King-Size View MYLES MARSHALL HUMBLE KI GWOOD Austin, Texas-for the third straight year Humble Kingwood’s Myles Marshall and won the 800 meters state championship. The senior who is bound for Harvard was all smiles as he walked away with his third straight state title in a time of 1.52.84. We spoke the young man who set a record with his performance. “My Dad ran this race a few years ago and he has been a great help along with coaches and the competition has been great every since my sophomore year so I’ve been pushed to do my best”. When asked about the race itself before more than 22 thousand fans at the Mike A. Myers track on the
campus of the University of Texas at Austin, Marshall replied. “Well we had a little wind and it was noticeable on the back stretch but all I had to do was time my kick and it worked out for me. Keeping in shape during the summer months has led to Myles being ready each year the title stretch. “All summer long I run against good competition and that gets me ready for our local showdowns. “I first lap was a bit strong and all season I had worked very hard on being stronger in the opening lap”. Understanding the competition is great outside the state of Texas and going against those guys has made him stronger. “When you are running against National guys they don’t care what you have done in Texas”. Once he was accepted at Harvard it was an easy choice
for to follow up on. “Going to school to get an education and a school like Harvard is too good of an offer to pass up so I’m excited and running track there is a blessing”. For the second straight year Myles Marshall has teamed with Dominic Swoopes, Dawson Trudell and DeWitt Thomas to win the Mile relay. This year they did so in a time of 3.12.44 just head of Manvel. ALEXIS DU CA - DE SOTO Austin, Texas-In one of the best performance in many years De Soto’s Alexis Duncan graced the track with her presence and it will be long remembered. The senior bolted to a record tying 13.25 win the girls Class 6A 100 meters hurdles. She tied the mark sent by Aldine-Eisenhower Alandra Sherman in 2003. Many thought when Sherman did her thing it would not be tied, but on this wonderful day for track Duncan did it before a crowd of more than 22 Thousand. After finishing up on the 4 by 100 meters relay in which De Soto won in a time of 45.38, Alexis had to make the long walk to the other end of the track. Teaming with Shavonne
Jackson, Zaris Whittaker and Kira White in this event to pick up 20 points. “I was tired a bit but the 100 hurdles is my race and I had to tell myself to get ready go out and win it”. When asked what is the key to the De Soto girls track team’s success over the year Alexis said it’s due to working hard in practice. “We practice hard indoor or out doors depending on the weather but we always work hard and I think that’s why we’ve been successful”. The talented young lady rolled the title in the girls 300 meters hurdles as well in a time of 42.09 adding 10 more points to her school’s second place finish of 48 points. As we talked more with Duncan she says she is still undecided on where she will further her education but she does know what her major will be. “Oh I want to major in Animal Science and I heard Texas A & M has a good Veterinarian School so that’s one I will look into”. It seems to be a growing trend these days for student/athletes to major in some form of animal care. “I’ve always loves animals and the Goat is my favorite”. With plans of running in Cuba for the USA team this summer and off to college and later run on the pro circuit. In closing we asked if she thought she would

be the next Mary Onyali who participated in 5 Olympics over a 20 year period. “No sir, not that long at some point I want to raise a family and enjoy life after living my dream”.

THE RISING STARS
TAKYERA ROBERSON-WHEATLEY
JULIA HEYMACH-LAMAR
By King Arthur Prayther A King-Size View TAKYERA ROBERSO WHEATLEY
Austin, Texas-The sensational junior Takyera Robinson from Wheatley high school continued to roll a she placed third in the 100 meters dash at the state meet. Her time of 11.60 was in a photo finish for second place. She then placed fourth in the 200 meters after having to run less than 30 minutes after the 100 meter race. But the lovely and talented junior thought about it and got it all together and took home first place in the 400 meters in a time of 54.97 well ahead of the second place finisher. “I just calmed down and didn’t let my emotions get the best of me this time”. Roberson is the younger sister of Oklahoma’s Deshun Roberson who ran a 51 second quarter in the Women’s NCAA this weekend. “My freshman year we won the state team title but last year I was hurt for the better portion of the track season, so this year we wanted
to come out and do well”. Roberson didn’t have the supporting cast she did as a freshman along with her AllAmerican sister so she know she would be going it along. “I wanted to make a great showing for Wheatley because we want people to know the Wildcats Nation is alive and well”. In talking with Takyera we also learn she felt it was a blessing to make it to state. “My sister Deshun is a big blessing for me and I certainly feel great to see her doing well and it motivates me”. Talking to herself during the last curve in the 400 Roberson pulled it all together and brought back the Gold to 5th Ward. Getting pushed is the best thing that happens for Roberson and she says it sort of transforms her into a better runner. “I kind of feel my body transforming like the Incredible Hulk or something when I’m pushed in a race”. In closing Roberson says she thanked all her coaches for doing a wonderful job with her all season. She was also pleased to learn at Floyd Green

the only other Wheatley runner at the state meet was inspired by her efforts. “He really said that, man that so sweet”. JULIA HEYMACH-LAMAR Austin, Texas-Clearly the best in the long run in Lamar’s sensational sophomore Julia Heymach. Taking the gold medal in the girls Class 6A 3200 meter run in a time of 10.14.62 well ahead of Devin Clark of Smithson Valley who many thought will give Heymach some good competition. The couple squared off in the 1600 meter race near the end of the meet and the results were the same. Heymach rolled to a 4.40.07 and claimed the gold medal in that event as well. With a bright smile on her face Heymach met the media following her history making night as her time beat the mile run state record of 4.43.58 set by Erin Bedell of Plano West in 2005. It was certainly a personal best for Heymach but we may not have seen the best she can be before she is done. “I just started out kind of aggressive and after I had done well in the 3200 meters I wanted to keep an even pace and go for the record in the mile run tonight”. That she did and the Lady Texans track program is going to be good for years to come. “I’m happy with the result and all year long my coaches kept my training so I would progress rather than level off”. She had a good freshman year and came back very strong. When we asked her about training techniques, Julia says she kind works out preparing for both these grueling races but work a lot on shorter speeds that actually good for the mile”. She felt Devin Clark and Madie Boreman were two girls who would propose a real threat to win the state title. “I’d seen them in the Texas Relays so I knew they were truly great competition along with Ashton Endsley”. In closing Julia says she plans to keep riveting up the training and making her strong in the mile and she is looking at dealing with the 800 meters as well”. With a tremendously bright future Julia is clearly the best in the long run!

WHAT IS TRUTH: HE THAT REJECTETH ME Dear reader it is again a blessing to be able to share with you some scriptural TRUTHS, John 17:17. Remember, the purpose of these articles is to seek the TRUTH according to THE WORD, thereby exposing ERROR. We believe by using definitions and the preponderance of scriptures; which is having superior weight, force, importance, or influence of scripture, allows SCRIPTURE to INTERPRET scripture, thereby allowing a better understanding on that topic. We also believe, according to scripture, it is of the UTMOST importance to know the WILL of GOD, through Christ and his apostles: “Matt 17:4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. 6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. 7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. 8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.” “Matt 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” “John 17:18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:” “Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. 42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.” “Eph 5:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. 15 See then that ye walk (1)circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is”...Definition
:(1)circumspectly-199 akribos (ak-ree-boce’); adverb from the same as 196; exactly, accurately: KJV— circumspectly, diligently, perfect (-ly). “Eph 3:1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: 3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, 4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) 5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;” “2 Pet 3:1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: 2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:” “I Jn 4:5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.” “Jude 1:17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;”
unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. James 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 1 Pet 4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; 2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. 3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: 4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
According to scripture just knowing and or believing is not enough, the BLESSING comes with the will to SUFFER to OBEY, thereby CEASING from SIN: “Rom 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” “Phil 1:29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; 30 Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.” “Heb 3:19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.” “Heb 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being (1)mixed with faith in them that heard it”…Definition :(1)mixed with faith-4786 sugkerannumi (soong-ker-an’-noomee); from 4862 and 2767; to commingle, i.e. (figuratively) to combine or assimilate: KJV— mix with, temper together.
We MUST NOT forget that when we DONOT receive his WORDS gladly, that is; chooses not to hear and or OBEY, we REJECT HIM and the same WORD will JUDGE us in that LAST DAY. Not only do we REJECT him by not RECEIVING and OBEYING his WORD, we also reject GOD and Salvation through GRACE! Note what the apostle Paul said; Acts 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. 32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all (1)them which are sanctified.(KJV)
James 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like

(See also renewing; Rom. 12:12) The Lesson: He That Rejecteth Me, and Receiveth ot My Words
Ref. Scriptures:
John 12:44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. 45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. 46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. 47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. 49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. (KJV) John 12:48 (1)He that rejecteth me, and (2)receiveth not my (3)words, hath one that judgeth him: (4)the word that I have spoken, the same shall(5) judge him in the last day.(KJV) Definitions :(1)He that rejecteth me-114 atheteo (athet-eh’-o); from a compound of 1 (as a negative particle) and a derivative of 5087; to set aside, i.e. (by implication) to disesteem, neutralize or violate, 1) to do away with, to disregard, to nullify, to make void, to frustrate 3) to reject, to refuse, to slight: KJV— cast off, despise, disannul, frustrate, bring to nought, reject.

Deut 18:19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. 20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. 21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? 22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it (1)presumptuously: thou shalt not be (2)afraid of him.

Isa 53:1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? 2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. (KJV) Matt 21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. (KJV) Mark 8:31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. 32 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

WHAT IS TRUTH: CONTINUED 33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for (1)thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men. 34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. (KJV) Definition: (1)thou savourest NOT-5426 phroneo (fron-eh’o); from 5424; to exercise the mind, i.e. entertain or have a sentiment or opinion; by implication, to be (mentally) disposed (more or less earnestly in a certain direction); intensively, to interest oneself in (with concern or obedience): KJV— set the affection on, be like-, + be of the same, regard, savour, think. Luke 9:22 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day. 23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, (1)let him deny himself, and take up his (2)cross daily, and (3)follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? 26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, and of the holy angels. (KJV) Definitions: (1)let him deny himself -720 arneomai (ar-neh’om-ahee); perhaps from 1 (as a negative particle) and the middle voice of 4483; to contradict, i.e. disavow, reject, abnegate, a) to disregard one’s own interests b) to act entirely unlike himself : KJV— deny, refuse. (2) take up his cross daily-4716 stauros (stow-ros’); from the base of 2476; figuratively, exposure to death, i.e. self-denial; by implication, the atonement of Christ: KJV— cross. (3)and follow me-190 akoloutheo (ak-ol-ootheh’-o); from 1 (as a particle of union) and keleuthos (a road); properly, to be in the same way with, i.e. to accompany (specially, as a disciple), 1) to follow one who precedes, join him as his attendant, accompany him 2) to join one as a disciple, become or be his disciple: to side with his party: KJV— follow, reach. Luke 17:24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. 25 But first must he suffer many things, and be
rejected of this generation. 26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. (KJV) John 12:25 (1)He that loveth his life shall lose it; and (2)he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.(KJV) Definitions: (1)He that loveth his life shall lose it-5368 phileo-1) to love a) to approve of b) to like c) to sanction d) to treat affectionately or kindly, to welcome, to befriend 2) to show signs of love; to kiss 3) to be fond of doing; to be accustomed to, used to doing (something).

Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; 20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: 21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. 22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. 23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. (KJV) Heb 2:1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. 2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; 3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; (KJV) Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth,
there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (KJV) Heb 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. 25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: 26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 29 For our God is a consuming fire. (KJV) John 12:48 ... the word that I have spoken…Ref. Scriptures: Prov 2:1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; 2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; 3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; 4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; 5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. 6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.(KJV) Matt 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, (1)Ye do err, not (2)knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.(KJV) Definitions: (1)Ye do err-4105 planao (plan-ah’-o); from 4106; to (properly, cause to) roam (from safety, truth, or virtue), 1) to cause to stray, to lead astray, to lead aside from the right way,
to go astray, to wander, to roam about 2) metaphorically: a) to lead away from the truth, to lead into error, to deceive b) to be led into error c) to be led aside from the path of virtue, to go astray, to sin d) to sever or fall away from the truth; used of heretics e) to be led away into error and sin: KJV— go astray, deceive, err, seduce, wander, be out of the way. (2) NOT knowing1492 eido or oida-1) to see c) to perceive, notice, discern, discover 1) that is, to turn the eyes, the mind, the attention to anything 2) to pay attention, to observe 4) to inspect, to examine b) to know, that is, to get knowledge of, to understand, to perceive Mark 16:14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. (KJV) John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. (See truth John 17:17) John 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. 38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. 39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. (KJV) If one professes Christianity, then one MUST be a follower of Christ through his apostles; thereby being a follower of God. One cannot be a follower of Christ without believing on HIM, for one follows who he believes. In the book of John, Jesus is clear on how and why one MUST believe on Him; and that is through His apostles’ word (John17:20). Because, God the Father sent them, (the apos-
Page 12
tles) the Comforter in Christ’s name, to teach them all things, and bring all things to their remembrance, whatsoever He had said unto THEM. According to Jesus, it MUST be done in this manner so that we ALL may be one, as He and His Father is ONE. Because man have not followed His instructions, there is confusion and division; even in the one faith, the church by Christ (Eph.3:21). Please read: John 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. 15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. (KJV) John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me. 25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. 26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (KJV) John 16:10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. 12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. John 17:1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. (KJV) John 17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.(KJV) John 17:6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

WHAT IS TRUTH: CONTINUED 7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. 8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. 9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. John 17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. (KJV) John 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. (KJV) Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. 42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. (KJV) Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, (1)they were baptized, both men and women. 13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. 14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them
Peter and John: Acts 9:17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. 18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and (1)was baptized. 19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus. Definition: (1)they were baptized-907 baptizo (bap-tid’-zo); from a derivative of 911; to immerse, submerge; to make overwhelmed (i.e. fully wet); used only (in the N. T.) of ceremonial ablution, especially(technically) of the ordinance of Christian baptism: KJV— Baptist, baptize, wash. Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.(KJV) 1 Cor 6:1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? 2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. 5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? 6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. 7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? 8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren. 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. (KJV) 1 Cor 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received,
and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. 7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. 8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.(KJV) 2 Cor 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. 15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: 16 To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? 17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. 2 Cor 4:1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. (KJV) II Th 1:4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: 5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruc-
tion from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. (KJV) 2 Tim 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.(KJV) 1 Pet 1:1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: (KJV) John 12:48 ... judge him in the last day… Ref. Scriptures: Matt 7:21 ot every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:(KJV)

Matt 25:29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. 30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:(KJV) Matt 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:(KJV) Mark 9:43 And if thy hand (1)offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not (2)quenched. 45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: 48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.(KJV) Definitions: (1)offend thee4624 skandalizo (skan-dal-id’zo) (“scandalize”); from 4625; to entrap, i.e. trip up (figuratively, stumble [transitively] or entice to sin, apostasy or displeasure): KJV— (make to) offend. (2)NOT quenched4570 sbennumi (sben’-noomee); a prolonged form of an apparently primary verb; to extinguish (literally or figuratively), to extinguish, quench: a) used of fire or things on fire; to be quenched, to go out : KJV— go out, quench. Luke 6:43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45 A good man out of the good treasure of his (*)heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his (*)heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the (*)heart his mouth speaketh. 46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
May 2015 TRUTH CONCLUDED 47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. 49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great. (KJV) Definition: (*)heart-2588 kardia (kar-dee’-ah); prolonged from a primary kar (Latin, cor, “heart”); the heart, i.e. (figuratively) the thoughts or feelings (mind); also (by analogy) the middle: KJV— (+broken-) heart (-ed). Rom 2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.(KJV) Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. 13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.(KJV)

WHEATLEY REMEMBERS ELDRIDGE SMALL JR. By King Arthur Prayther A King-Size View The Wheatley Wildcats family joined in with the rest of Houston in celebrating the home going of Eldridge Small Jr. on May 23rd. His services were held at the Loving Word Fellowship Church where the dynamic Dr. Paul D. Landrew is the Senior Pastor. The Rev. D. R. Hector Jr. delivered the Eulogy before a packed house of well wishers for Small and his family during their time of grief. Born in Opelousas, Louisiana on August 2, 1949 Eldridge Small Jr. was the second child to Magnolia Smith and the late Eldridge Small senior. After moving to Houston Eldridge attended James D. Ryan Elementary and E.O. Smith Middle school before staring in three sports at Phillis Wheatley
High School. Football, baseball and basketball led to Small going to Texas A & I University where he would again star on the football team. With 20 touchdowns and more than 2300 yards as a receiver as well as a big time Lone Star Conference Defensive standout. Small was taken with the 19th overall pick in the 1972 NFL draft by the New York Giants. He also spent time with the New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns during his NFL days. Holding the all-time reception leaders until 2013, Small was inducted into the Texas A & I Hall of Fame in 1991. Returning to Houston, Small begin a coaching career in the HISD that would last for 34 years with 22 of them coming at Ross Sterling and the rest as the head coach at Wheatley. In the classroom Small was more than a wood shop and special education teacher, but more like a mentor to the kids he worked with. Leading many of them to some outstanding college careers and several even all the way to the Professionals ranks. He also worked very well with in- coming coaches and was so well liked he won the recognition from Houston Mayor Bill White in 2009 as
Dear readers remember as always, the purpose of these articles is to seek the TRUTH according to THE WORD, thereby exposing ERROR, for the purpose of saving our souls. We believe this is best done by definitions and the PREPONDERANCE OF SCRIPTURES; which is having superior weight, force, importance, or influence of SCRIPTURE. Again we believe this allows SCRIPTURE to INTERPRET SCRIPTURE, thereby allowing a better understanding on that topic. Again, thank you so much for your interest in the WORD of TRUTH; GRACE and SALVATION; John 17:1721; Acts 20:29-32; James1:2125. After all it is our MAP to HEAVEN and away from HELL, and the continuance in it, is the O LY thing that allows the man of God to be perfect, 2Tim.3:12-17!

May 16th was named Eldridge Small Day. Finding Christ at an early age Small joined Sunlight Baptist Church under the leadership of the Rev. A. B. Boylan and later moved over to New Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of the Rev. D.R. Hector Jr. An outstanding family man, Small is survived by his lovely wife of 43 years Loretta Small, three wonderful children Jarvis Lynn, Eldridge III and Andrea Rachel Small-Roquemore. His mother Magnolia Smith, six grand children, three brothers and three sisters and a long list of friends, coaches and relatives. His sister Gloria Hawkins spoke so well of her brother and their childhood. The Wheatley Family was well presented at the services among them Dr. Charles Herbert, Big Horace Roberts and Edward G. Robinson to name a few. Reports are less than a week from his retirement Small became ill and never got well. On May 11, 2015 Small passed away leaving a tremendous following and a near perfect example for young coaches and play-
ers to follow. Congratulations are in order for his wife Loretta and the rest of the family for standing by him all this time. In closing please allow me to add we remember Small for being semi-formal, but very firm and focused and he was able to take a little talent and take his teams to the playoffs!

TO THOSE ON THE OUTSIDE DEAR SINNER HEED THIS CALL PRECIOUS is Time. Therefore while you have time, use it to learn and do Gods Commandments for at the end of life is pay time and your pay will be according as your work has been. You will find in 2 Corinthians 5:10 the following: “For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ, that everyone may recive the things done in his body according to that he hath done, whether it be good or evil.” You will find in John 15:14. “Ye are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command you.” Solomon said in Proverbs 1:5 “A wise man will hear and will increase learning, and a man of understanding will attain unto wise counsel.” How shall we escape if we neglect to great Salvation: Hebrew 2:1-3 Salvation is to be worked out. It will not work itself out; God will not work it out for us. o one can work it out for us. It is the duty of man to work out his own salvation. How! With fear and trembling. Phil. 2:12. Pray fervently, attend the Lord’s Day Worship, Be on time, Take active part in Singing, Teaching of God Word, Giving as we prosper and taking the Lord’s Supper with death.
