Author Robert L. Kramer’s book “The Historic Baptism of the Holy Spirit and The Gift of Tongues” examines the misjudged role of baptism in the ability to speak tongues

Robert L. Kramer, who graduated from Moravian College and received his theological training at Evangelical Seminary, Ready, Pennsylvania, and Moravian Theological Seminary, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, has completed his new book “The Historic Baptism of the Holy Spirit and The Gift of Tongues: A Clarifying Scriptural Study of a Controversial Issue!”: a transfixing work that explains that the gift of speaking in tongues is not offered or meant to be experienced by all believers; therefore, it cannot be necessary evidence of being baptized by the Spirit.

Author Robert L. Kramer writes, “Contrary to what the scriptures reveal, some segments of the church teach that a personal baptism, separate from and in addition to being born again, is necessary and that baptism will be in evidence by speaking in tongues. Many well-meaning Christians have written and testified of what they have identified as a baptism of the Spirit. They may have had a meaningful spiritual experience, but I believe they have misinterpreted and misnamed that experience.”

Published by Page Publishing, Robert L. Kramer’s insightful work provides an interesting perspective for readers wishing to develop a deeper understanding of this aspect of the Holy Spirit.

Author Robert L. Kramer has been a pastor for forty-five years in the Evangelical Congregational Church and has written Sunday school lessons for the denominational Sunday School quarterly and articles for the church paper, “The United Evangelical.”

Readers who wish to experience this original work can purchase “The Historic Baptism of the Holy Spirit and The Gift of Tongues: A Clarifying Scriptural Study of a Controversial Issue!” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Smart Kids with Learning Disabilities Announces its Third Annnual Smart Walk for Smart Kids


Smart Walk 2021 takes place on October 3! Please join us or donate to our mission!

“Piglet and I are looking forward to celebrating kids with learning differences, and their parents, at the Smart Walk on October 3rd! We can’t wait to share a little positive Piglet Mindset™ with everyone after the walk” Dr. Melissa Shapiro

Smart Kids with Learning Disabilities, a Norwalk, CT-based nonprofit organization, announces its third annual Smart Walk for Smart Kids on Sunday, October 3rd at Sherwood Island State Park in Westport, CT. The event is a community gathering bringing together families, friends, supporters and professionals while raising funds for the organization’s educational and youth mentoring programs, parent networking support, pre-school literacy program, and extensive, award-winning digital resources for families.

Local author Melissa Shapiro, DVM of Westport, CT, will appear with her inspiring deaf, blind, and very pink puppy, Piglet. Robert Tudisco, a nationally known disability rights attorney with Barger & Gaines, author, and motivational speaker, will lead the walk’s opening ceremony. Tudisco will discuss the promising future these young people can look forward to, and the importance of their parents serving as their champions and advocates. There will be an inspirational talk by a student speaker and students from Norwalk’s Crystal Theatre, a performing arts program for young people, will perform.

The afternoon will celebrate the strengths and talents of young people with learning disabilities and ADHD, and empower parents and children, in addition to rejecting the stigma that still attaches to these issues. Children attending the event will enjoy games, crafts, face painting, a photo booth, refreshments, and an ice-cream truck. Families, individuals and teams are invited to walk the 2-mile scenic route along the CT shore at their own pace. The Walk will take place rain or shine, and provides an opportunity for the members of a community that includes as many as one in five children, as well as adults and professionals to come together to celebrate these children’s potential. As one participant in the 2019 Walk commented, “It gave everyone touched by LD or ADHD such a sense of home and community.”

Registration for the Walk is $15 per person, with a maximum of $50 per family, and includes a t-shirt in addition to one free ice cream for each child 16 or younger. Families are welcome to sign up and set up their own web page, or to donate to support the organization’s work at

Where Do You Fit In?” is a creative comparison of anatomy between the spiritual and physical


News Image

“Anatomy of the Spiritual Body: Where Do You Fit In?”: an intriguing approach to spiritual health and growth. “Anatomy of the Spiritual Body: Where Do You Fit In?” is the creation of published author Anthony Harvey, a loving husband and veteran of the United States Marine Corps. He served in various US embassies and consulates in Romania behind what was then called the Iron Curtain, at NATO in Belgium, Cyprus, during the coup on the embassy, Switzerland, visited Israel, and lastly in Frankfurt, Germany. Harvey was honorably discharged from the Marines twice after opting to serve a second time. He went to Dallas Institute of Funeral Services and later opened Harvey Funeral Chapel in Yuma, later moving it to Phoenix.

Harvey shares, “The Anatomy of The Spiritual Body, this is a work of inspiration for those who want to become a part of the spiritual body and for those that are in the spiritual body but may be functioning as a hand when their actual function is foot. Many members of the spiritual body are functioning, but they are misplaced. As you read this book, you will be shown where you fit in.

“For the body is not one member but many. If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body as it hath pleased him. And if they were all one member, where were the body? But now they are many members yet but one body. And the eye cannot say unto the hand I have no need of thee, nor again the head and to the feet I have no need of you. Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: (1 Corinthians 12:14–22)

“Anatomy of the Spiritual Body is a work that includes a description of some of the natural body’s systems with a metaphorical comparison associated with the spiritual body. See where you fit in the spiritual body and see if you are functioning to your fullest capacity.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Anthony Harvey’s new book is a fascinating discussion of one’s overall wellbeing and how they can discern areas that may need more work.

With relevant scripture, reflections, and anatomical reference points, Harvey offers readers an alternative approach to establishing a baseline for spiritual health and how to potentially address any needed changes through a creative analogy.

IDC to Host Webinar Event in Support of Patriarch al-Rai Amid Threats from Hezbollah


In Defense of Christians (IDC), the nation’s leading advocacy organization for Christians and religious minorities in the Middle East and North Africa, will be hosting a webinar and press event in solidarity with Cardinal Bechara Boutros al-Rai, Patriarch of the Maronite Catholic Church, in light of recent attacks and threats by the Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah.

The Zoom webinar and press event will take place on Thursday, August 12, 2021 at 3:00 PM (ET), and will include remarks from Members of Congress, members of the clergy, and Lebanon policy experts.

On August 6, Hezbollah fired 19 rockets into Israel from a civilian-populated village in southern Lebanon. In a display of valiance, Lebanese civilians actively challenged and thwarted Hezbollah’s practice of using human shields.

On August 8, Maronite Patriarch al-Rai strongly condemned Hezbollah’s provocation, and called on the LAF and UNIFIL to enforce UN Security Council Resolution 1701. The Patriarch further stated “[the Lebanese people] are tired–as they should be–of war, killing, displacement and destruction.”

Hezbollah and its supporters responded with threats to the Patriarch’s life, including public effigies of the Patriarch with a noose around his neck, and innuendos of imminent violence.

“In Defense of Christians stands in solidarity with His Beatitude Patriarch al-Rai, the Lebanese Armed forces, and courageous Lebanese civilians willing to take a stand for peace in Lebanon,” said IDC President Toufic Baaklini. “Offensive provocation which leaves Lebanese civilians vulnerable, many of whom are Christians, should not be tolerated,” he added.

State Senator Josh Becker Names StreetCode Academy Nonprofit of the Year


State Senator Josh Becker and StreetCode Academy Chief Executive Officer Olatunde Sobomehin at the 2021 Nonprofit of the Year for the 13th Senate District

“By offering courses, like game design using Roblox, StreetCode enables local youth to prepare for jobs in our region’s tech ecosystem,” said Senator Becker.

State Senator Josh Becker honored the StreetCode Academy as the 2021 Nonprofit of the Year for the 13th Senate District. The senator praised the organization not only for its ambitious mission but also for redoubling its efforts during the pandemic to bridge a digital divide that threatened to become a chasm for vulnerable communities and people of color.

Since 2014, StreetCode Academy has devoted itself to empowering communities of color with the mindset, skills and access to technology that can expand opportunity by enabling community members to become active participants and innovators in the tech powerhouse that fuels our state’s and our nation’s economy.

“It is telling that in the middle of the Silicon Valley, we have cities like East Palo Alto, which throughout its history has faced a digital divide,” said Senator Becker, D-Peninsula and a Silicon Valley entrepreneur and innovator before joining California’s Legislature last fall, during an online presentation to StreetCode Academy. “In any given year, tackling this issue would be challenging enough. Compound that with a once-in-a-century pandemic, and I can imagine it felt almost impossible.

“But rather than losing hope, amid the myriad of unprecedented challenges you all have had to tackle, you rose to the occasion. You ensured that education and economic opportunities were readily accessible to those truly in need of it.”

Accepting the accolades on behalf of his organization, StreetCode Academy Chief Executive Officer Olatunde Sobomehin said, “In so many ways this past year threatened to widen the gap that exists within Silicon Valley – the poverty in the shadow of wealth and no bridge between. Yet in the midst of an unprecedented crisis, so many people stepped up to provide computers, internet access, technology education, and a hope for a better future. It means the world to be honored by our state leadership in one of the most challenging years. It validates the work of an entire community to never stop pushing toward our best possibilities.”

Before the pandemic struck, StreetCode Academy had served more than 2,000 students of all ages in its in-person classes, in addition to providing networking support and loaner computers to community members. StreetCode responded to the COVID-19 crisis by expanding its remote learning programs and its public and private partnerships throughout the region, Senator Becker noted, reeling off a list of StreetCode successes that include:


  • A growing service tally that now includes more than 5,500 people in the region and about 1,000 people nationally
  • Providing 20,000 hours of free technology classes
  • Partnering with the Ravenswood City School District to provide 2,500 students with free tech support that included training and access to technology
  • Helping to secure laptops for hundreds of students to use free of charge

“By offering courses, like game design using Roblox, StreetCode enables local youth to prepare for jobs in our region’s tech ecosystem,” said Senator Becker, noting that the organization prides itself on serving students of all ages, including 11-year-olds who used their StreetCode-acquired know-how to create and publish apps and retirees who have launched new businesses. “This is what happens when you add equity and innovation: You get organizations like StreetCode.”

The Nonprofit of the Year recognition is part of a program, now in its sixth year, conducted by the California Association of Nonprofits with legislators throughout the state.

Social Security COLA For Next Year Could Be 6.2% Estimate Climbs Slightly According to The Senior Citizens League


“With one third of the data needed to calculate the COLA already in, it increasingly appears that the COLA for 2022 will be the highest paid since 1983 when it was 7.4%,” says Johnson.

The annual Social Security cost – of – living adjustment (COLA) could be 6.2 percent next year — the highest in almost four decades according to a new estimate from The Senior Citizens League (TSCL). Based on July consumer price index (CPI) data released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics “The estimate is significant because the COLA is based on the average of the July, August and September CPI data,” says Mary Johnson, a Social Security policy analyst for The Senior Citizens League. “With one third of the data needed to calculate the COLA already in, it increasingly appears that the COLA for 2022 will be the highest paid since 1983 when it was 7.4%,” says Johnson.

Social Security benefits are one of the few types of income in retirement adjusted for inflation. But soaring inflation can still knock a hole in the household finances of retired and disabled Social Security recipients. In 2021 Social Security benefits increased by just 1.3 percent raising the average benefit by about $20. But about 86 percent of Social Security recipients say their expenses increased by much more than that amount. A new survey by The Senior Citizens League asked “Which of the following financial actions have you taken during the COVID-19 pandemic? (March 2020 to present.) Here’s how survey participants responded:

Financial Actions Taken by Retirees During COVID-19 Pandemic March 2020 to Present

Action/Percentage Reporting

  • Spent emergency savings/34%
  • Made changes to retirement savings investments/20%
  • Drew down retirement savings more than usual/19%
  • Visited a food pantry or applied for SNAP benefits/19%
  • Provided room and board, childcare or other assistance for adult children and grandchildren/12%
  • Applied for assistance with heating and cooling costs/10%
  • Went back to work or took a new job/10%
  • Applied for Medicare Savings Program or Extra Help to assist with medical or prescription drug expenses/10%
  • Refinanced a home mortgage/9%
  • Applied for pharmacy assistance program for one or more expensive prescription drugs/8%
  • Applied for rental assistance/4%


Source: The Senior Citizens League, 2021 Retirement Survey: 547 responses.

The consumer price index (CPI) that’s used to make the annual inflation adjustment can make a difference in the amount of Social Security income that beneficiaries receive over time. Under current law, Social Security benefits are adjusted using an index that measures inflation experienced by younger working adults, the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) but does not include the spending patterns of households with retirees age 62 and older. Because this index surveys the spending patterns of younger working adults, it is weighted more heavily for gasoline, which is up 41.8 percent over the past 12 months and driving the steep rise in the COLA. But in 2020 and most of the past 12 years, gasoline prices have been in steep decline. COLAs have averaged just 1.4%.

Retired and disabled Social Security beneficiaries spend their money differently than younger workers, spending more on healthcare and housing. In recent years those categories have increased more rapidly than gasoline but haven’t shown up as higher COLAs because the CPI-W is weighted less heavily for those categories. When retirees don’t receive a COLA that keeps up with their actual costs, their Social Security benefits lose buying power during the course of a retirement. Based on inflation through March, research by Johnson indicates that Social Security benefits have lost 30 percent of buying power since 2000.

Legislation that would tie COLAs to an index that measures inflation experienced by older households, the Consumer Price Index for the Elderly (CPI-E) has recently been reintroduced. The CPI-E tends to grow more quickly that the CPI-W in most, but not every year. “2021 is one of those times when gasoline prices soar and the CPI-W would yield the higher COLA,” Johnson says. The Senior Citizens League works to protect and strengthen Social Security benefits and program financing.

With 1.2 million supporters, The Senior Citizens League is one of the nation’s largest nonpartisan seniors groups. Its mission is to promote and assist members and supporters, to educate and alert senior citizens about their rights and freedoms as U.S. Citizens, and to protect and defend the benefits senior citizens have earned and paid for. The Senior Citizens League is a proud affiliate of The Retired Enlisted Association. Visit http://www.SeniorsLeague.org for more information.

Paul Landry celebrates 25 years advocating for people with disabilities…even Cerebral Palsy has not held him back


Paul Landry has cerebral palsy. He also has a wife, two children and for the past 25 years has been assisting people with disabilities find paths to independence as a staff member at MI-UCP (Michigan United Cerebral Palsy).

Currently, Landry serves as a Director of Employment Programs and manages the Work Incentive Planning & Assistance (WIPA) Project covering Livingston, Oakland and Wayne counties. He has established the Fee for Service with Michigan Rehabilitation Services & the Bureau of Services for Blind Persons. Paul is also involved in Michigan’s Employment First initiative subcommittee, aiding Benefit Counseling services at a statewide level and making recommendations regarding the state’s Medicaid – Freedom to Work program.

“I’ve been fortunate to enjoy my work at MI-UCP for the past 25 years, assisting people with disabilities with options so they can make an informed choice regarding their own life,” said Landry. “Thank you Elmer Cerano and Leslynn Angel for your leadership and allowing me to advocate in my own unique way.”

Landry earned his master’s from Central Michigan University in Public Administration, with a strong emphasis on Nonprofit Management. Within the community, he serves as a board member for Community Housing Network and Arc Livingston, and is also actively involved with Leadership Oakland as a past board member. In the spring of 2014, Landry received a Leader of Leaders award for Personal Leadership from Leadership Oakland.

Leslynn Angel, President & CEO of MI-UCP said, “I have known Paul for 25 years through the agency’s ups and downs and he has been a major contributor to helping close the disability divide.”

Paul is celebrating his 25 years by asking others to contribute to: http://www.mi-ucp.org/donate

Background:

Paul wasn’t born with cerebral palsy. However, he stopped breathing at four months old. His father gave him mouth to mouth resuscitation, but in that short amount of time he developed cerebral palsy. This has led to many challenges, all of which Paul has successfully faced head-on. In the fall of 1991 while attending GVSU, Paul wanted to begin a career in city government. This led to the study of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which was just signed into law the previous year.

Paul completed an internship for the County of Ottawa in the spring of 1993. During that time, he was introduced to the disability community via the Center for Independent Living (CIL), Hope Network. He has helped Leadership Oakland and MI-UCP build an accessible ramp to support a young woman become more independent within her community. In 1996, Paul joined the UCP/Detroit (now MI-UCP) staff where he’s made significant strides in the disability community ever since.

About MI-UCP

MI-UCP was founded in 1949 as United Cerebral Palsy Association of Metropolitan Detroit (UCP/Detroit). This included Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties. That same year, United Cerebral Palsy Association of Michigan (UCP/Michigan) was formed to serve the needs of constituents throughout the remainder of the state of Michigan.

 

In 2020, these two organizations merged into MI-UCP (Michigan United Cerebral Palsy). The goal is to expand our scope of service reach. In reality, more than 65 percent of the people we serve have a disability other than cerebral palsy. These include autism, spinal cord injuries, intellectual disabilities, visual impairments and many other disabling conditions.

 

By unifying as MI-UCP, we are able to operate more efficiently and effectively as one of the state’s leading sources of information, referral and strategic partnerships with like-minded organizations. And by having offices in Detroit and Lansing, we can continue to be a leading advocate for all 1.4MM of Michiganders with disabilities.

A Big Fish Tale” is an enjoyable faith-based children’s tale about family traditions


News Image

“Georgie!: A Big Fish Tale”: a sweet story of faith and family. “Georgie!: A Big Fish Tale” is the creation of published author Sally Breeze Green, a loving wife, mother, and grandmother who holds a Certificate of Spiritual Formation from Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia. Illustrations are provided by the author’s grandniece, Melissa Green.

Green shares, “Stories of my youth taught me that God can speak to our hearts in dreams, just like He did in Scripture. I also learned that this usually happens at night when we are asleep! I love it when God awakens me and says, ‘Get up and write this down!’ That happened in my earlier book, Lo & Behold: A Christmas Story.

“GEORGIE is another story from my dream life. It is a mixture of childhood memories which take shape in the characters and events in the story—fishing with my father in the trout streams of Colorado; my husband’s fishing adventures with his father as they just sat on the bank, waiting for a nibble; my brother’s finding our black-and-white sheepdog at the Safeway store in Denver; a poem of a friend named ‘Mike.’

“These memories woven together with Bible verses and values I learned as a girl gave way to this story of God’s grace in my life. I hope this little story will encourage those who read it to follow their dreams and know that God does answer and give them the desires of their hearts, especially when it is to help someone else!

“I dedicate this book to our great-grandchildren, Addy and Connor!”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Sally Breeze Green’s new book is a fun-filled narrative of Christian values and time spent with family.

With engaging illustrations and an inspiring tale, young readers will be captivated from the start of this pleasant juvenile fiction.

Apostle Clement Mbuyi’s newly released “The Road to Your Deliverance and Restoration” is a fascinating exploration of spiritual warfare and curse-breaking


News Image

“The Road to Your Deliverance and Restoration: Understanding a Curse and How to Break It”: a thought-provoking discussion of faith and that which works against it. “The Road to Your Deliverance and Restoration: Understanding a Curse and How to Break It” is the creation of published author Apostle Clement Mbuyi, a loving husband and father of four who was born in Kinshasa, Democratic of Congo, and founded International Tree of Life Church in Frederick, Maryland.

Apostle Mbuyi shares, “The Road to Your Deliverance and Restoration is a book that helps Christians and non-Christians identify the source of a curse and other spiritual bondages and to use the proper way to break the curse through the light of the word of God.

“Many people go through spiritual and physical difficulties without understanding the reason. They go from one church to another and one pastor to another, seeking help without receiving one. Lack of knowledge is one of our biggest enemies, and the Bible says, ‘My people perish for lack of knowledge.’

“The book of Proverbs 26: 2 says, ‘So a curse without cause shall not alight.’ To break a curse, you must find the cause; and if you cannot get to the root cause of a problem, you will never solve that problem. It is very difficult for a doctor to treat a patient if he or she cannot find the root cause of the illness.

“The purpose of this book is to show how to use biblical truths to uncover the true cause of a curse and spiritual bondage in our own lives and the lives of others to help them find emotional healing and spiritual freedom. Thus, the book explains the causes of a curse and spiritual bondage and offers biblical solutions to how to break them.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Apostle Clement Mbuyi’s new book is an engaging exploration of generational curses and spiritual bondage and how to break them.

With compelling reflections and relevant scripture, Apostle Mbuyi encourages readers to take a moment for self-reflection and spiritual growth. He writes in hopes of encouraging others to guard themselves against spiritual attacks.
