RD Norman
In the middle of his heavy-weight theological epistle to the Romans, the Apostle Paul wrote, “For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers” (Rom 8:29). As Christians, we are predestined to be conformed to Christ. That is an unchangeable reality. If you are in Christ, you have partaken in the fruit of this predestined grace.
Does that mean we enter a state of perfection as soon as we are converted? Not at all. What it means is that we have Christ’s righteousness, secured by His cleansing blood (Heb 9:14). He has taken our sin, paid the price, and transferred His righteousness to our accounts (2 Cor 5:21). We are no longer condemned, because we wear His robes of righteousness. There is still, however, indwelling sin within us. As we live out the Christian life, we are expected to deal with that sin. As the Lord shines more light on our hearts, we are to kill off that sin --RD Norman; G3

March 31, 2019: His Air: Julie Norwood Interview 3-31-19
In 2006 I left radio completely to serve as a Lead Pastor of a church; where I still pastor (biglifechurchrc). I was offered to come back to help during Fundraising and fill in on air as needed. When an opening came up for mornings, I agreed to do the Morning Show in addition to my pastoring. In 2015, there was a station format change to a new, 100% Worship format. I was offered to be the PD and bring the station on. I had little idea of what that entailed, but I was willing, and so I said, “Sure, I can pray.” Nov 27, 2018: Newscenter1: Hope for the Homeless Outreach

What Another Trump Presidency Means To Evangelicals Around the World
Moss Ntlha, general secretary, Evangelical Alliance of South Africa
Trump’s win is a sad day for evangelicalism around the world. Prominent evangelicals in the US came out in full support of Trump, making it appear that to be Bible believing is to be Trump supporting. Their endorsement gives the impression that theological conservatism requires and leads to a right-wing political view that is dictatorial, opposes climate justice, sanctions genocide in the Holy Land, and approves what took place on January 6. Many in South Africa who know the horrors of apartheid recognize how easily a populist politics that holds to a narrow vision of public morality can harm those on the margins. Trump already declared in his first term that African countries are “s—hole countries.” Lately, he has made it clear that when restored to the presidency, he would make sure that Israel has all it needs to “finish the job,” which many understand as the erasure of Palestinian existence. We worry that having Trump in the White House will make it difficult to proclaim the gospel that “God so loved the world” that he sent Jesus to die for all, especially our Muslim neighbors. We worry that he will use the immense power of the US government to punish those who pursue foreign policies contrary to his own, such as South Africa for appealing to the International Court of Justice to adjudicate whether what we are witnessing in the Israel–Palestine conflict is genocide.

We believe that pastors, and the church in entirety, should start preaching and advocating for Nature cure. They should not look down on natural medicine. It is the deal now. We must not form little cliques within the healthcare industry that shut out people from accessing natural medicines or with people who have different view-points on healthcare.
We must not think of one group as being set free while this group over here is very narrow and we have nothing to do with them. This is wrong, and Paul clearly says so. In fact, he implies that if any of the so-called strong exclude weaker brothers, look down on them, treat them as though they are second-class Christians, they have simply proved that they are just as weak in the faith as the ones they have denied. Strength in the faith means more than understanding truth.
It means living in a loving way with those who are weak: The truly strong in the faith will never put down those who are still struggling. On the other hand, the apostle goes on:
The man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has ac-cepted him. (Romans 14:3b NIV). Here is the other side of it. Those who believe in mainstream medi-cine must not look down on those who believe in natural medicine. Those who believe in Traditional Naturopathy or what others also refer to as original medicine should not be at loggerheads with pro-ponent of modern Naturopathic Medicine which employs modern scientific methods in handling pa-tient as described in the dictionary of occupational titles, USA.
Those who think it is morally wrong for a Christian to drink wine or beer must not look down on those who feel free to do so. They must not judge them. The word "condemn" means "to sit in judgment" on them and it involves several things. --Raphael Nyarkotey; Ghana: Not Everyone Can Be Vegan or Vegetarian 12.5.21
