One Way: Jesus is the only way to heaven

One Way: Jesus is the only way to heaven

“The 1960s was a period of social uprising, protests, the Vietnam conflict, and moral decline.” – John Rothra, The Jesus Revolution

These words opened a report I did on the Jesus Revolution (also called the Jesus Movement). One of the leaders of that movement, Tony Alamo, seems to be fixed in some of the aspects of that era, especially the moral decline. According to the Associated Press, Alamo was recently arrested outside the Federal Court in Flagstaff, Arizona “on charges [that] he took minors across state lines for sexual purposes.” Alamo has also been convicted of tax evasion, revealing a history of legal and moral questions regarding the evangelist.

However, the most shocking aspect of the article is that Alamo declared, “I believe it’s OK” for girls to marry at fourteen or fifteen years old and that sex with minors is not only permissible, but that the Bible mandates they marry young.

Buffalo Bills 4-0 for first time in 16 years

Buffalo BillsAnyone who knows me knows that I am a Buffalo Bills fan. Yes, they lost four Super Bowls in a row, but no other team was even able to make three in a row. True, they have not been the strongest of teams in recent years. However, through all that, I remain a fan!

The last time they went 4-0 was in the 1992 season, when they went to their third Super Bowl, and their first against the Dallas Cowboys. The next year the two played each other again, the first time (and only time still) when two teams played each other in back-to-back Super Bowls.

This year looks like it could be the Bills and Cowboys facing each other for a third time in the Super Bowl. However, I hope that history doesn’t repeat itself: the last time the Bills went 4-0 was also the second largest margin of victory in Super Bowl history. However, this NFL season has been strange so far, with the Tennessee Titans and the Buffalo Bills atop the NFL as the only teams at 4-0. What a year!
