December saw a unique turn of events in Guyana’s government. A quick party switch by one MP in a no-confidence vote brought down the entire government (Judicial Watch, February 6, 2019).

Guyana is a small, poor South American nation with a history of governmental problems, yet with vast, untapped resources.

Letters to the Editor

Gerald Weston’s “Tame the Social Media Monster” [in the March-April 2018 issue] are my sentiments to the letter! As an elementary school teacher, now retired, I saw the evolution of students’ social behaviors before my very eyes, and none of it was positive. I taught second graders, age seven, from 1973 to 2007. I would like to order the booklet for parents that you have suggested for my daughter and son-in-law to read for my grandchild’s sake.

Can Christians eat anything they want?

Question: Jesus said, “Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him, because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?” (Mark 7:18–19). Does this mean Christians can eat anything they want?

Answer: People sometimes use Mark 7:18–19 to justify their desire to eat foods the Bible calls “unclean.” It is important, however, to understand this verse in context in order to truly appreciate what Christ was teaching.
