ATHLETEOF THE WEEK

Reverend Robert L.Jessie Jr. (Page 14)

In these days of specialty vehi-

cles the new Cadillac SRX is

something special. The 2013

model we tested the other week

simply has great flowing hard

lines and the air dam chrome

cladding on the side really gives

you the look of the 70s. The

Premium Collection edition has

a massive look up front with a

deep slanted grille and projec-

tion lamps headlights. The

Cadillac in sigma makes it clear

of the good looks will follow.

This Cadillac has 65 per cent of

its part from Mexico with only

26 per cent from the United

States and Canada. The final

assembly point for thIS Caddy is

Ramos Arizpe, CZ Mexico with

the engine from Mexico and the

transmission from the United

States. The overall styling is

enhanced by a smooth rear slant

with fancy side body designs.

Yes you might have guessed we

were really impressed with this

model and it may be showing.

But the most fun of it all was

getting behind the wheel, a

sporty looking layout with con-

toured seats makes the driver

feel it’s time to hit the race track.

Yet you get a true sense of safety

and comfort all rolled into one.

Onstar is there in the event you

need help and that certainly has

to add to your overall safety feel.

Since 1996 Onstar has answered

over 346 Million calls for help.

Power is provided by a proven

3.6 Liter direct injected V6

engine that produces 308 horse-

power and 265 pound per foot of

torque and yes it can tow up to

3,000 pounds also. Cadillac did

a wonderful job of research and

development before cranking out

this product line. It shows in

each of details and they still

manage to keep the price around

50 Grand. Fuels economy is 17

miles in the city and 24 on the

highway and the SRX is

equipped with a 21 gallon tank.

This front wheel drive vehicle

really takes to the road with 20

inch All-Season tires circulating

around a 20-inch aluminum pre-

mium painted bright finish

wheel. You know how well that

chrome shining bright looks on a

bright sunny day. Kind of

makes you want to drive by a

building with glass side so you

can see yourself as you go by.

A Bose Surround Sound System

with Sirius XM and HD radio

greets you and let you know

right out the bat you are in a

good quality ride and the sounds

are clear and precise.

In addition to a solid sound sys-

tem you can get the optional

Entertainment system rear seat

dual screen blu ray player. Man,

listening to my Tyrone Davis

greatest hits CD sounds like you

are in the recording studio listen-

ing on the headsets. Cue in

vehicle user experience with

touch screen controls takes you

to another level in technology.

Luxury convenience features are

galore this model including heat-

ed steering wheel with steering

column rake and telescoping.

The pedals are adjustable and

the driver and front passenger

seats are heated and ventilated.

The driver and front passenger

seats are 8-way adjustable while

the rear seats at 60/40 split fold

and are heated. For those of you

in the cold winter States Cadillac

certainly thought of you.

A Cadillac Shield protection

warranty agreement includes 4-

year/50,000 mile bumper-to-

bumper warranty, 6-year/70,000

mile power train limited warran-

ty, 4-year/50,000 mile premium

care maintenance, 6-year/70,000

mile Courtesy transportation and

6 year/70,000 mile roadside

assistance whichever comes

first. That should tell you just

how much Cadillac stands

behind this vehicle and is confi-

dent in it holding its value.

At the time of our test the

NHTSA has rated the SRX for

side crashes with 5-star rating

and 4-star rating for rollover but

we have no numbers on the

frontal crashes and therefore we

cannot give you an overall vehi-

cle score.

In closing please allow me to

add the front and rear parking

assist is another of the vehicle

luxury features. Those chrome

roof rails and exhaust tips just

sets this baby off!

A KING-SIZE VIEWThe new 2013 Cadillac SRX FWD Premium Collection puts you in automobile heaven

Moving into our 26th year of

test driving automobiles from an

assorted array of automakers

worldwide, we are very happy to

do a report on the new Chevy

Malibu. At one point and time

the Malibu was clearly one of

the true all-american sport cars.

Well those happy days are here

again as Chevy introduced the

new Malibu LTZ for 2013. To

begin with we found it to be a

lot more fancy than the previous

models and those hard lines real-

ly gives it a sporty and yes a

more expensive look. Going

back to the days when my broth-

er Charlie had a 1972 model

when the Malibu went from the

muscle car to very economically

filled small coupe. Well it’s now

a solid mid-size with economy

out of this world. The vehicle is

equipped with a new 2.0 Liter

Turbo DOHC 4-cylinder SIDI

with VVT. Let’s talk about this

engine for a moment. Producing

259 horses and 260 pounds per

foot of torque with a final drive

ratio of 2.77 and has an 18 gal-

lon fuel tank. It produces a

combine 24 miles per gallon

with 21 in the city and 30 on the

highway. We know for a fact

because during our weeklong

test the vehicle never needed

fuel and it was more than half

full at the end of our week. The

engine is mated to a six-speed

automatic transmission and both

the engine and transmission are

built right here in the United

States. Fact is more than 62%

of this vehicle parts are from the

U.S. and Canadian with the final

assembly point being Kansas

City, Kansas.

When it comes to warranties the

new Malibu LTZ has a five-year,

100,000 mile power train limited

warranty and please see dealers

for more details.

Some of the notable features

include one of the most power-

ful in class engines combined

with a new ride and handling

package. This setup includes a

four-link independent rear sus-

pension. The Malibu also has a

new expressive exterior and a

more premium spacious interior.

Let me tell you people were

really looking at it all week long

down at work.

Safety comes in with high marks

as well with five-star rating for

overall vehicle score and five-

star rating driver in frontal

crashes with four-star for front

passenger. With side crashes the

front seat gets four-star rating

while the rear seats get five-star

and four-star for rollover. All

these numbers puts the Malibu

at the top of the class according

to NHTSA.

For me it’s the new way the

interior layout is what catches

my eye. Smooth leather finish

and the wrap around cockpit

style with bucket seats really

make me think back a few years.

Yet this Malibu is far greater

than the one we had by in 1972.

An optional entertainment sys-

tem with a Pioneer Premium

Sounds package with nine-

speakers 250 watt amplifier and

rear vision camera system con-

tinues to elevate the Malibu.

Keep in mind our test vehicle

complete with Aluminum 18-

inch wheels came in at just over

$34,000.


add the LTZ package has EZ key

passive entry system and push

button start with keyless entry

and even lane departure warning

to name a few things.

For many years the Ford

Explorer had clearly been the

best selling mid-size SUV and at

one point you simply saw more

of them on the road than any

other product. Well that is get-

ting to be the case all over again

as the big automakers introduces

the new 2013 restyled Ford

Explorer Sport. A totally new

redesigned interior giving it

more of the Land Rover look

and man let me tell you we

almost didn’t know what it was

when we say them pulling it into

the driveway. A massive look

front grille gives off more of

rugged look, yet high center of

gravity just in case you want to

go off-road. The new Explorer

Sport we tested came in Ruby

Red Metallic with roof rack and

side rails plus rear spoiler. The

body color LWR bedside

cladding and my favorite

chrome exhaust tips.

Under the hood of the new

Explorer is a proven 3.5 Liter

285 horse powered V 6 engine.

Rolling to the pavement on P

255R45 20-inch All-Season

BSW tires wrapped around alloy

wheels. Yes this baby is ready

for the outdoors and still fancy

enough to take out for a night on

the town.

Inside you are greeted by a fresh

new interior but clearly keeping

with Ford’s trend of having easy

to read full-size gauges. Leather

trimmed seats including a 10-

way power driver and front pas-

senger setup. The third row seats

are 50/50 and fold flat to add to

what is already outstanding

cargo room. The steering wheel

is leather wrapped and has

cruise and audio controls while

it also has tilt and telescopic fea-

tures. With one-touch up/down

driver and front passenger win-

dows the new Explorer is on a

roll when it comes to new fea-

tures.

Sounds comes from a Sony

Audio system with a 390

watt/12-speaker system com-

plete with Sirius SAT SVC and

reverse sensing and rear view

camera.

Other functions include traction

control as well as curve control

speed control plus a six-speed

SST with paddle shift. There is

even terrain management system

with hill descent/ off-road mode

and hill start assist and yes trail-

er sway control. Based on all of

the above Ford certainly took

time to plan this new product

line and let me tell you this is a

new Explorer from the ground

up.

Clearly home grown the Ford

Explorer final assembly plant is

in Chicago and it got good rat-

ing from the IIHS Top Safety

Pick Award winner

Warranties for this new Ford are

three year/36,000 bumper-to-

bumper and five-year/60,000

power train and five-year/60,000

roadside assist.

The safety list is highlighted by

advanced Trac with RSC and

duel stage front airbags, front

seat mounted side impact along

with front passenger knew

airbags and a complete safety

canopy. To round it off with

SOS post crash alert system

along with perimeter alarm and

tire pressure monitor system.

When it comes to NHTSA the

new Explorer Sport gets a four-

star rating for the driver in

frontal crashes while the front

passenger get a five-star rating.

Side crashes are rated at five-

star with both front and rear seat

occupants while the vehicle gets

a foir-star rating for rollover.

This adds up to an OVERALL

RATING OF 5-STAR when

compared to other vehicles with

similar size and weight. We feel

we have said enough to get you

to go down to the nearest Ford

Dealership and go for a test

drive in the new Ford Explorer

Sport and we know you will be

glad you did!.

Dallas, Texas-With the New

Year coming in we took a trip to

Big D behind the wheel of the

new 2013 Ford Flex Limited

AWD and man let me tell you

just how good the ride is. The

long wheel base makes for a

smoother ride than most

crossover vehicles and the new

Flex you might say flexing it big

time. With a 3.5 Liter 285 horse-

power V6 Ecoboost engine

under the hood drivers can find

somewhere around 18 combine

miles per gallon with a top of 23

miles per gallon on the highway.

Mating this engine to a 6-speed

select shift automatic transmis-

sion makes for a great marriage

with smooth shifting and soft

engine noises making for a more

comfortable ride. The power

meets the road on P255/45R20

A/S BSW tires and that matched

well with our test vehicle’s Ruby

Red exterior color.

May we add we truly put it to

the test. Sporty both inside and

out the new Flex captured many

onlookers on our trip and

strangely enough some people

really didn’t know what it was

but all they knew is they liked it.

Inside you are greeted to a char-

coal black leather interior and

you know Ford has always

brought you good clear and easy

to read gauges and big driver

friendly knobs. All this makes

the vehicle so much more fun to

drive. A power 10-way driver

seat and 3rd row 50/50 bench

with fold flat front facing in the

rear helps prepare you for all

kind arrangements depending on

the cargo for your trip.

Sounds come from a Sony 390-

Watt 12-speaker audio system

with Sirius Sat SVC, Sync serv-

ice navigation system and blind

spot information system com-

plete with reverse sensing and

rear view camera. Let me tell

you Soul and Blues Legend

Ernie Johnson never sound so

great. Such features as overhead

consoles and second row seat

auto fold and refrigerated 2nd

row console clearly makes this

baby ready for the road.

Other feature of this modern up-

to-date Crossover is intelligent

access with push button

start/remote start/mykey and 110

volt outlets with 4 power points.

In the area of Safety Ford kept

the hit coming with a set of

advance track with RSC dual

stage air bags with mounted side

impact air bags along with safe-

ty canopy along with SOS post

crash alert system and tire moni-

toring system to boot.

Warranties are 3-year/36,000

miles bumper/bumper with 5-

year 60,000 power train warran-

ty and 5-year 60,000-roadside

assistance. All of this comes in

at just over 50 grand.

GENERAL MOTORS VIVIAN PICKARD

Our King-Size Mover and

Shaker for the month of

December is Lamar High School

head football coach, Tom Nolen.

Coach Nolen is a native of

Bellaire. He graduated from

Marian Christian High School

and while attending the

University of Houston, he

received an offer to teach

Physical Education at St.

Michael’s Catholic School. His

first head coaching job was at

Strake Jesuit. There he led the

Crusaders to four private school

titles from 1975-1981. He left

Strake Jesuit to become the

Head Football Coach at Lamar

High School, a magnet school in

the Houston Independent School

District and home of the

Redskins.

He has been the Head Coach for

over 28 years and has become

one of the most successful high

school coaches in the state of

Texas.

Coach Nolen has a very impres-

sive record when it comes to

football. At Strake Jesuit his

record was 57-20-1 from 1975

to 1981. Since 1985 and as the

head football coach at Lamar

HS, he has won over 250 foot-

ball games. This year he led the

Redskins to a record of 15-1 and

to the championship game for

the state Class 5A Division I

Crown. However, the Lamar

Redskins were defeated by Allen

35-21 in the championship game

and had to settle for the runner-

up trophy.

Even though Coach Nolen came

up a little short this year, he has

countless accolades to sustain

him until next year including

being named the 2012 Coach of

the Year by the Touchdown Club

of Houston.

A KING-SIZE MOVER AND SHAKER: COACH TOM NOLENBy Dr. Victor Keys

A King-Size View

Coach Tom �olen - Lamar Head Football CoachVivian Pickard

The accelerator is at your right

fingertips, along with the brake

lever for the front brake. The

clutch lever is on the right on

the handlebars. Your right foot

controls the rear brake and your

right foot shifts. WOW! That is

confusing.

You have admired those beauti-

ful bikes for years. The chrome,

the sound, the smell, the allure

of being on two wheels is there

but you have no idea how to

take the first step. Not only that,

what about getting a motorcycle

operator’s license? It is not all

that hard to do or really that

intimidating.

Believe it or not, there is a

course offered for a reasonable

fee and a bit of time. The

Motorcycle Safety Foundation

offers two courses, one for

beginners and the other for

experienced riders. These cours-

es are offered at quite a few

local venues that include dealers,

colleges and some other loca-

tions (see attached list). The

classes are very intense and you

will walk out at the end feeling

like you will be a safe and

informed rider.

The classes for the most part

involve two evening lessons,

two hours each. Most locations

offer this phase of training on

Thursday and Friday nights from

7:00 to 9:00 PM. This is all

classroom and you learn con-

trols, safety concerns and every-

thing else you need to know to

be a good rider. In addition, you

get to know the instructors and

fellow students.

Then on Saturday and Sunday

you return for two full days of

course training. Starting early in

the morning on Saturday you

will gradually learn every aspect

of operation on real motorcycles.

These bikes are provided for the

course and often vary in size and

type. All, however, are “begin-

ner” machines and quite easy to

ride. This is to build confidence

and make you feel more com-

fortable. You will learn how to

start and stop, how to shift

gears, how to corner and how to

avoid collisions. The training is

very intense and you will be

quite tired at the end of the day.

The classes are fairly small (no

more than ten riders) and you

become very close to your fel-

low students.

The cost of this course varies a

bit but usually runs about

$250.00. This will include all

course materials and motorcycle

usage. You will need to provide

a helmet and protective clothing.

Most classed require long sleeve

shirts, gloves and jeans.

If you have not made up your

mind about what type of motor-

cycle you want this is a good

way to help make that decision.

Buying a beginner’s bike is

often a good investment. You

will not have as much invested

and having a lower cost machine

will give you time to ride and

see what you want when it is

time to move up. If you have

already know what you want

and decided to purchase a new

motorcycle, see if the dealership

offers a discount or free class.

Many dealers offer this program

and it is a great way to get start-

ed.

Each class uses different

machines. Some of the colleges

use machines donated and

loaned from various dealers.

Most are about 250 cc’s and

very lightweight. Many of the

Harley Davidson dealers that

offer the course use Buell Blast

bikes. This is a 450 cc machine

that is a great beginner machine.

Now the good news about

licensing: In Texas a motorcycle

operator is required to obtain an

“M” endorsement. Years ago,

you had to take a written test

then a road test. To do this you

had to get in line early in the

morning just to set the appoint-

ment. Then you had to provide a

motorcycle with license and

insurance, a car with license and

insurance and a driver for the

car. Making this happen was

extremely difficult and intimi-

dating. Now, our great state has

simplified the procedure. All you

have to do is complete the

course and bring the certificate

to the Department of Public

Safety Driver License office and

you will get your endorsement.

A brief word for experienced

riders: If you have ridden for

some time and want to upgrade

your skills or if you have your

endorsement and not ridden for

a while, you may want to look at

the Experienced Rider Course. It

is a one day class using your

motorcycle or a rental (usually

available from the course

provider) you will practice

advanced collision avoidance

skills and gain awareness of how

to be a better rider. This course

is quite reasonable ($100 to

$150) and well worth the cost.

a 10 because we have some of

the best student participation at

our sporting events in the city”.

The family practice the Museum

faith and Lulu says she feels it

has helped her to lead a very

productive life. “I follow the

teaching of our faith and I don’t

eat pork and things like that and

it has been a big part of my

life”.

On the subject of Barack Obama

being re-elected for a second

term McKinney says she feels

the President has done a won-

derful job. She went to credit

the Obama administration for

new health care for all, the j obs

creation and the saving of many

jobs. “I just love the job our

President is doing and let’s face

it people needs jobs and good

quality health care.

With all the bad things happen-

ing from social media these

days, McKinney had a great

answer for that. “I have a twit-

ter account but I’m almost never

on it because I like to come face

to face with anything I’m

involved with and not do it elec-

tronically”. As we continued

Lulu added it’s just as good to

use your cell phone when you

want to talk to a friend.

On the subject of goals in life

Lulu clearly knows she wants to

be involved with sports medi-

cine and possibly work for the

National Basketball Association

at some point.

When asked if she could do any-

thing over in life Lulu made it

clear she wants to continue to

work as hard as she can to be

successful in life and become

independently wealthy.

Crediting her mother (Jakmica)

as her most driving force in life

simply because they can talk girl

talk and she can get pointers on

how to deal with life’s little

obstacles. We added it has to

help to have a strong discipli-

nary like Clarence as a father.

She simply smiled and said YES

SIR.

Describing herself as an outgo-

ing friendly person who can get

along with just about anyone

Lulu added once she get that leg

well she and the rest of the Lady

Cardinals plan to make a run at

the state tournament this spring.

In closing we couldn’t help but

bring up her grandfather and ask

her to give us an honest opinion

of Jack P.T. McKinney. “Oh I

think my Papa is the greatest

man of all-times and I don’t go

through a day without talking

with him because he has such

wisdom and knowledge and is

always willing to listen to me!

The McKinney name has been

around Jack Yates and Third and

Fifth Wards for many years and

it looks like it’s going to stay.

STUDENT OF THE WEEK

After a slow start, the TexasSouthern University Men’s bas-ketball program have won fourof their last five games and areamong the leaders in theSouthwestern AthleticConference. Due to NCAAsanctions they will be not beable to go to the SWAC tourna-ment this year. But that has notstopped the Tigers from theirgoal of winning the SWAC regu-lar season title. Senior guardOmar Strong who came to TSUfrom Baltimore, Maryland andCecil Community College is oneof the team leaders. Strongscored 16 points and added 10rebounds to help the Tigers runpast Jackson State. Despite a

cold shooting night, the seniorguard hit two big treys to put itout of reach for the BlueBengals of Jackson State.“Coach Davis really got on ourtails at the half even though wewere up he made it clear to uswe were not playing as well aswe are capable”. After a slowfirst half Jackson State decidedto leave Strong open and hemade them pay with two bigtreys to put it out of reach. “Iguess because I was not hittingin the first half they decided todouble-down and leave me open,but I’m not going to stop shoot-ing until the clock shows allzeros”.

The team is growing with the

tough pres-season Strong reflect-ed back on that fact. “It took uslonger than it should have for usto get with the program becausewe could have won about half ofthose games but now we areadapting very well to CoachDavis’ system and it paying offfor us “.

One of the highlights of the sea-son is the Tigers win up on the‘Hill’ at P.V. a couple of weeksago. “It was a real big win andsince P.V. was picked we felt wecould go into their building andget a win was big for us”.Having gone through coachingchanges Strong says it was allfor the better of his developmentas a player. “Yes Coach Harvey(Tony) taught me a lot and youknow coach Mike Davis willsomeday be in Basketball Hallof Fame so I’m glad God putCoach Davis in my life”.

We agree with Strong. Davis isthe best thing that has happen toTSU basketball in a long timeand clearly once these NCAAsanctions are gone this team cango places.

MIKE DAVIS TSU

The Texas Southern U Tigers

have won 4 of their first five

games in Southwestern Athletic

Conference play this year. First

year Coach Mike Davis feels the

team got off to a slow start but

they are building on what could

be an outstanding season. Even

though they will not be able to

play in the SWAC post season

tournament they still can build

on the future of their program.

“We are probably where we

should have been in December

but we must continue to build

and get better day by day in

practice”. Davis who is a gradu-

ate of Thomas Edison State in

2000 spent several years at

Indiana working with the great

Bobby Knight and even took

Indiana to the final four as the

head man when Knight left the

program. Davis is assisted by

Donald Marsh, Walter Pitts and

Keith LeGree while Timothy

Waller is executive director of

basketball operation and

Michael Davis Junior is the

director of basketball operations.

In talking with Davis we learned

the Tigers are going with a man-

to-man defense for the first time

in over five years. “We must go

with a man defense and that way

we can put more pressure on our

opponent shooters”. Davis

added it’s the uncontested shots

that beat us and the percentages

are a lot lower on contested

shots as opposed to those that

are uncontested. Wanting at

least 15 assists per ballgame is

another of Davis’ plans for the

Tigers. After their 84-57 victory

over Jackson State Davis says he

felt the team played too fancy

and did not distribute the ball

nearly as well as he would have

liked. “We try to stay away

from reaching fouls and keep

our opponents free throw

attempts down”.

Building the team from the

inside out because you can’t just

live on the three point shots,

Davis is trying to teach that to

his players. “We want our

offense to run through the post

and hope to dish out for open

jumpers rather than just come

down and jack it up”. Getting

more into the grove Davis is

looking for the Tigers who beat

Prairie View up on the Hill a

couple of weeks ago and that

had to be a big lift since the

Panthers are picked to win the

division. “Our guys played

Colorado, Kansas State and it

gave us something to build off

and beating P.V. was a great

motivating factor for us”.

Working a month behind from

the lack of numbers and the

short practice times they had,

but Davis feels things are com-

ing around. “As a team we are

learning to play man-to-man

defense and our guys are begin-

ning to play the way we feel

they are capable of playing”.

In closing we came away with a

good feeling about Davis and his

plans for TSU basketball. The

Tigers bounced Grambling State

a couple of days later and head

on the road as one of the SWAC

leaders.

MIKE KRAMER-BELLAIRE

In what he says is his final year

coach Michael Kramer led his

Lady Cardinals to their 23rd vic-

tory of the season and their 8th

straight district win against no

defeats against the Madison

Marlins. My how things have

changed over the years, there

was a time when the Lady

Marlins use to run over the

Cardinals but Bellaire won 70-

42 and are well on their way to

another district title. Longtime

coach Mike Kramer says when

girls will get it going and if they

are on they can be hard to beat.

“We don’t have a lot of size but

we’ve went against teams with

size and came out on top

before”. Kramer went on to talk

about his team facing team with

6 feet 5 and 6 post players and

still holding their own. “We are

blessed to have people like A. J.

Alix who’s headed to TCU after

starting for us for four years; we

have Lulu McKinney and Angel

Williams so our back court is

strong”. The Lady Cards sent

Bianca Winslow to the UH after

last season and still manage to

go 8-0 in district this time

around. “We are solid in the

back court and our girls are

working very hard, feisty press-

ing and hard working group of

girls”. Kramer is assisted by

Lamar Simons who many feel

will take over after this season

ends.

Through all his many years

Kramer never had a big tall girl

to play the post for him. “That’s

amazing but Dallas has girls tall

like trees but this year in

Houston we don’t have any

height but we have to play with

the hand we’re dealt”. Bellaire

played in the Holiday tourna-

ment and faced Temple with a 6

feet 4 post player and the

Woodlands had a 6 feet 5 post

player. “Hey but the best thing

is our girls grew that weekend

beating Temple and the

Woodlands and Clear Spring

kind of let us know we can play

with the big girls”.

In closing coach Kramer said his

team was on and beating Clear

Springs in the McDonald

International tournament was a

big plus and set a standard for

his squad. Hoping to get Lulu

back in two weeks but that gave

a sophomore Meme Jackson a

chance to step up and get some

action. Always a pleasure chat-

ting with Coach Kramer and we

hope the Cardinals fly high in

the playoffs.

RAY PE��-TSU

Sharp-shooting guard Ray Penn

hit on four of six from three

point land to help Texas

Southern University win for the

fourth time in five Southwestern

Athletic Conference games.

The junior from Fort Bend

Travis scored 16 points and

grabbed five boards and dished

out four assists. Most people

think the Harrison Twins put FB

Travis on the map but according

to Penn that’s not the case. It

was he and his teammates that

made the first playoff appear-

ance for FB Travis a few years

ago. The 5 feet 9 inch 160

pound junior spent time at

Oklahoma State before coming

to TSU. Making both of his free

throws Penn was the key once

Jackson State went into a zone

defense Penn made them pay big

time with three straight treys to

put the game out of reach. “I

think they got down a bit and we

were able to knock down open

shots on them, but Jackson State

is a good team”. Penn said the

Tigers underachieved in the non-

conference season and are kind

of making up for it now.

When asked what is it like play-

ing under first year coach Mike

Davis Penn replied: “He makes

you think and he challenges you

at all times on and off the

court”.

In closing we asked Penn did he

get anything from those big

games they played in non-con-

ference schedule. “Most defi-

nitely; sometimes you have to

get hit hard to get going but we

are just going about Coach

Davis plan of getting better

game by game and I think we

are getting on the same page”.

We agree with Ray-the Tigers

are getting on the same page and

they will need to as they hit the

road in the SWAC and it’s going

to be tough!

A�GEL WILLIAMS

BELLAIRE

As the Lady Bellaire Cardinals

won for the 8th time in district

action without a defeat, Angel

Williams ripped the nets for 23

points in their win over the Lady

Marlins of Madison. A big 70-

42 win for the Lady Birds of

Coach Mike Kramer, Williams

hit three big treys in the early

going to put the game out of

reach. “To be honest with you I

feel we can make it all the way

to state and beat defending

champ Duncanville”. Crediting

their team bonding as the key

for the Lady Cardinals, Williams

said they also workout very hard

each day. Having a lot of heart

as well as a fast up-tempo style

is a plus for the Cardinals.

“When our shots are not falling,

we sometimes go inside to our

post players and we can always

drive to the basket and draw a

foul and take shorter jumpers.

This season is special according

to Williams and she said last

year’s team wasn’t nearly as

close as this team is right now.

“Bonding has a lot to do with it

and we are a close group and we

know our teammates very well

because you find what they can

do well and what they want dur-

ing the game”.

Williams closed by saying their

win over Clear Spring was a big

momentum builder for them

because they were overmatched

and still manage to get a win.

“That shows us we can win the

big game and that’s a great feel-

ing for our team”.

The TSU Men’s basketball pro-

gram under the leadership of

first year Coach Mike Davis, are

off to a 4-1 start in SWAC play.

Due to NCAA violations the

Tigers will not be allowed to

play in the SWAC post season

tournament this year. But Coach

Davis and his staff are going

about their business of building

a program. With Jackson State

in town a couple of weekends

ago the Tigers jumped on them

and never looked back. TSU

went on to win the game 84-57

for their 3rd victory in four

games of Conference play. They

added to it by blasting

Grambling State two days later

for their 4th victory in their first

five games.

Aaron Clayborn came off the

bench and connected on 8 of 9

shots and led all scorers with 18

points in the win. The 6 feet 6

inch junior from Benton Harbor

Michigan also grabbed 5

rebounds in the Tigers victory.

However the Tigers lost a

thriller to Arkansas Pine Bluff

66-63 on this past Saturday

night on the road to drop to 4-2.

In February the Tigers have a

big home stand starting out with

P.V. on Saturday February 2nd.

Lawrence Johnson-Danner hit

on 4 of 8 shots including 3 of 5

from trey-land for the Tigers as

they rolled to those early confer-

ence victories. Forward Fred

Sturdivant added 10 points and 7

boards as he went 5 for 8 in the

Tigers win over Jackson State

University.

Always is the case the Tigers

cheerleaders put on an excellent

show and so does the Tigers

Sensations at halftime as their

dance routines thrills the crowds.

We are looking forward to their

showdown with P.V. at the H

and P E Arena on February 2nd.

Former Dallas Carter high

school standout Adrian Hamilton

will be on the Baltimore Ravens

plane when to fly to New

Orleans to face the San

Francisco 49er in Super Bowl

47. Yes the Nation Black

College Defensive Player of the

year from Prairie View A & M

University went to the NFL

Combines and got a shot with

the Dallas Cowboys and when

things didn’t work out he caught

on with the Baltimore Ravens

and that could very well have

been his best break. The 6 feet

3 inch 260-pound outside line-

backer is one of three players

from Sub Conference of the

NCAA on the Ravens Super

Bowl rooster. There are three

former Houston Texans on the

Ravens squad as well but that’s

another story.

We spoke with Hamilton as he

was honored at halftime of the

PV TSU basketball game a year

ago and we came away with

good feeling about him. While

watching the Ravens and the

Bengals play in week 16 we

spotted him in the Raven lineup

and it brought joy to me heart. It

pleases me more to see him

make a trip to the Super Bowl in

his rookie season in the NFL.

While at P.V. Hamilton simply

was a terror on the field sacking

QBs with regularity and just

simply was difficult to block.

He certainly has to make the P.V.

Coaching staff proud seeing

their former player get a shot at

an NFL Championship ring in

only his first NFL season. You

might go on to say thank you to

the Dallas Cowboys for allowing

him to get away. Funny since he

played his high school football

at Dallas Carter you would have

thought the Cowboys scouting

team would have followed

Hamilton at P.V. and knew this

kid had what it took to play in

the NFL. At any rate we are

happy for Hamilton and wish

him the best of luck!

The Lady Cardinals of Bellaire

high school rolled over the Lady

Marlins of Madison high school

70-42 in HISD girls’ action. It

was their 8th district win against

no defeats and they are headed

toward another district title.

Longtime coach Michael

Kramer and his faithful assistant

Lamar Simons had their girls

ready to play despite the injury

to junior Lulu McKinney. Due

to being startled by a mouse in

the hall the girls begin running

and McKinney was knocked

down injuring her knee and had

to have stitches. The team hope

to get the All-District Player

back in a couple of weeks.

Angel Williams and A J Alix did

the damage with 23 and 14

points respectfully and got help

from Meme Jackson who saw

more action with McKinney out

of the lineup.

After our little chat with Mike

Kramer he told us it will proba-

bly be his last year and he’s

retiring when the season ends.

Lamar Simons is expected to

step up and take over the pro-

gram and continue the legacy of

what Kramer has built over the

years.

Outside shooting is the key to

the Lady Cardinals and they

were on and took care of the

Lady Marlins quickly as

Williams hit 3 treys in the first

period. Their pressing and trap-

ping defense bother the Marlins

and kept them off guard forcing

turnovers and leading to easy

baskets for Bellaire.

With Manvel and Clear Springs

as the favorites to win the region

III class 5A title this year, the

Cardinals are just waiting on the

playoffs to begin and see about

that!.

Starting the year off right we

had a chance to visit with

Ronnie Coleman and his entire

family. The former Houston

Oilers running back is doing big

things in the community as he

continues their family Ministry.

With all five of his children and

his lovely wife (Julia) and his

charming sister-in-law (Ruby

Baker) they were on hand on

Almeda as the Black Heritage

Gallery held their Houston

Inauguration Party for President

Barack Obama. The Gallery

located at 5408 Almeda is

loaded with art effects including

the latest works on President

Barack Obama Limited Edition

by Thomas Blackshear.

On hand were some of the C5

Coleman Love Foundation

works including I’m Saying by

Julia Carter-Coleman, Where

Does Change Begin? And 365

Days of Change Workbook by

the Coleman’s children who

were all present at the Gallery.

Ronnie and Julia have two sons

Zephaniah and Joshua and three

daughters Giovanni, Chelsea and

Franquette. You can go on line

at kingsizeview.com and click

on C5 Coleman Love

Foundation banner with

Zephaniah and Franquette pic-

ture for more details.

It’s a mystery to me that the

NFL hadn’t latched on to Ronnie

Coleman because of his talent

and knowledge of the game of

football after playing 9 years

(74-83) with the Oilers. But

more importantly the way he has

conducted himself since those

days. He and Julia have taken

their Ministry all the way to

Africa and work on several proj-

ects in the community over the

years. They are an outstanding

couple and have been for 28

years. If the NFL truly cares

about leading some of our young

men in the right direction

Coleman is the type of guy who

could certainly lean a helping

hand.


add in the wake of players tak-

ing the lives of their love ones

and even taking their own live,

not to mention having brain

problems after their playing days

are gone. It’s a nature fit to

have someone like Coleman

around to present these guys

with a perfect example to follow.

In the coming weeks we plan to

write more about this fact and if

the NFL is reading A King-size

View or visiting www.kingsize-

view.com it would help to listen

up!

As the current Texas Legislature

enters the current session, trust

me forget it. I don’t hide my

xomplete disgist regard regard-

ing politics and and politicians.

They don’t I repeat ‘don’t care’

about working class Americans,

the simple backbone of this

country. While race, gender, sex-

ual orientation and physical and

mental disability are issues,

working class is not. A ‘have

not’ doesn’t matter to these peo-

ple no matter what your party

affiliation or core beliefs are.

You belong to the working class

and as The Rock used to say

“Know your role and shut your

mouth”. So it was woth casual

interest that I noted some bills

filed in this session that have do

to with Texas High School

Athletics as some of the hooli-

gans (aka-legislatures) have

again filed bills to merge public

and private schools to compete

against each other.

I kid you not dear readers, this is

getting to be tiring, considering

the many problems our state has

to deal with along with the few

dollars we have to spend to stay

on budget. So I must first say

that the idea will not ago away.

Why do the folks who hate pub-

lic schools want to compete with

them? What do the get for

screaming to the top of their

lungs’we’re number one?’ The

private schools have beautiful

facilities while many public

schools, especially in the inner-

city, are old and needless to say

should be torn down and rebuilt

new from the ground floor.

Maybe it’s just me but I would

like to hear from those parents

whose children attent private

schools to give me a legit reason

why a private school wants to

complete against a public

school. I’m reasonable and if the

reason is believable, I’ll support

it.

But guess what-they haven’t

given a true-blue reason regard-

ing this issue. We do know a lot

of great athletes live in the

inner-city. Can these schools

convince tham along with their

parents the advantages of attend-

ing their institutions? Oh I forgot

about illegal recruiting and how

about the grade point average

for student athletes. Can the pri-

vate schools lower their g.p.a. to

C+ which may be the score for

many public school athletes?

The private schools don’t play as

many games as the public

schools do: can they increase the

amount of games to be sched-

uled or will the public schools

have to lower their games sched-

uled? Now here’s one issue not

even on the agenda yet or is it?

Home-schooled young athletes

want to participate too and how

do they fit into the equation?

I wrote about this several years

ago. At the time of the National

Invitational Boys Basketball

Tournament in Houston I

noticed the many private schools

participating and that number

was growing. In many states

public and private schools com-

pete against each other nealy at

every level. These teams are

good-very good to be exact. I

got the chance to talk to these

school’s administative staff,

coaches and parents and the

response was the same: ‘these

are just kids, let them play’. I

felt all along that the private

schools just wanted to play and

if they filed legal action the end

result would be in their favor.

Public school supporters bitterly

opposed the udea, but the

University Interschoolastic

League approved it. The end

result; well nothing has hap-

pened that made the private

schools look all that impressive.

Oh Houston Strake Jesuit did

qualify for the boys state basket-

ball championship several years

ago but that’s just about it. Many

of the private schools say they

are happy with the separation

snd want to keep things just as

they are. I supported the idea

that as long as the private

schools agreed with and fol-

lowed the U.I.L.’s rules and reg-

ulations, they should be allowed

to join and compete.

Now the question remains-

should any other action be taken

regarding public/private school

competition? Sure the two sides

should meet and discuss issues

and decide if things need to be

upgraded and/or remain the

same. From my point of view,

no one seems to have any major

issues regarding public and pri-

vate schools joining forces.

Things seem to be very quiet

and nothing is simmering in the

background. That means only

these deadbeats (aka politicians)

are at work wasting our tax dol-

lars and proving one again

there’s no fool like a old fool!

Now dear readers maybe you’ll

understand why I dislike elected

officals.

That’s just the way I see it!

HERE WE GO AGAIN

The WayI See It

By BIG John Chandler

To advertise in A King-Size View Newspaper Email - [email protected]


Time sure goes fast and it pays

to listen up and pay strict atten-

tion when you are in the compa-

ny of some people. As Booker

T. Washington was getting beat

at their homecoming game we

ran into Robert Jessie and it had

been a long time since we

talked. Even though we spoke

briefly little did I know it was be

the last time I would visit with

him. While at KCOH radio we

ran into Kashmere coach Garry

Dunham and he informed me

that Robert had passed away on

Christmas day. So we made a

call to his childhood friend

Walter Penrice Senior of the

Studewood Cobras and he told

me he had heard the same thing.

Walter recalled Robert never call

him by his name he just called

him pinhead. “Yeh King we

shot marbles together and he

probably didn’t know my real

name until we went to BTW

together later on”.

So we later confirmed it and set

January 5th on the list of servic-

es to attend. The rainy chilly

day served as what old folks in

the country use to say when a

Faithful Servant was going

home. Ironically Pastor Donald

Dickson titled his sermon “A

Faithful Servant referring to

Rev. Jessie.

But long before that let me tell

you when I first met Robert L.

Jessie it was in 1971. We were

playing basketball on the Hanks

brother goal off East 40th and

we were getting a little rough

with some of the guys and

someone said he man go get

Robert. Well when he first got

there we took a look at him and

thought all we’ll rough him up

also. However once Robert got

warmed up he was slanging his

elbows and grabbing rebounds

to the degree no one would go

under the basket with him. They

won two of the last three games

we played and the two of us

would talk off and on for the

next few years. Then a few

years later we met Jessie again

as he had his whole family out

to the Studewood Cobras as his

sons all played with the Cobras.

Jessie took it to another level

and became a coach and later

started a baseball and track

league for the kids as well.

Always showing off a big bright

smile Jessie will be remembered

for all his great works and his

ability to get along with people

of all walks of life.

Born on April 25, 1954, Robert

Lee Jessie Jr went on to attend

Burrus Elementary and Booker

T. Washington High School of

engineering Profession (Class of

1972). Robert then took classes

at P.V. and UH Downtown and it

was there he met the lovely and

talented Charlotte Foster. The

couple married on January 8,

1980 and they were blessed to

have six children (five sons and

one daughter). Having been

baptized at an early age by the

late Rev. Herman Price of

Greater New Hope MBC Jessie

saw too it his family became

active members in the church.

On Sunday August 17, 2003

Jessie announced his call to the

Ministry and preached his first

sermon on November 9, 2003

call “God’s Amazing Grace”.

He would go to organize a

prayer at the job and serve on

many committees at his church

as well as leading the Young

Men in Christ group.

On Christmas morning while

getting ready for Christmas din-

ner Robert Jessie went into the

bedroom and never came out.

Hundreds of people packed into

the church on North Main for

services that lasted more than 2

and one-half hours. His son

Willer (W00) Jessie spoke so

well of his father as the tears

rolled down his face as he said

his daddy is perfect now!

The Studewood Cobras brought

a plaque thanking Rev. Jessie for

his services. A wonderful home

going services for Rev. Jessie

led by Pastor Donald Ray

Dickson, who was a great athlete

in his playing days also. Dandy

Don as we call him returned a

kickoff 106 yards for a touch-

down for Jack Yates.


add Rev. Robert Jessie lived a

wonderful life and will be

remembered for year and years

to come. Fact is I will never

forget him nor the work he done

while on this earth.

REVEREND ROBERT L. JESSIE JR. GOING HOME SERVICES A DAY TO REMEMBER

Jessie with his wife Charlotte

Gratitude and kindness is one of

the simplest things to demon-

strate, it can elevate your mood

and bring cheer to an unsuspect-

ing person.

Work on being a kind and loving

person. Set out to do nice things

for others, start with small

things, compliments or a smile.

Learn how to express gratitude

in your own special way, for

things small or grand. A person‘s

kindness should be recognized

regardless of the size of the ges-

ture. Keep thank you cards

handy as part as your regular

stationary. Be ready to drop a

quick note to express what a

thoughtful gesture meant to you,

or how it made you feel.

Do “just because” gestures to

brighten someone’s day. Send a

friend flowers even if it’s a guy,

bake some homemade cookies to

give to a date. Send a care pack-

age with someone’s favorite

goodies if they are far from

home. Use your own creative

ideas and have fun with it.

Gestures can cost you much or

little to no cost at all.

Sometimes a person could use a

foot massage and a good ear to

listen. I could spend all day on

gratitude because it truly excites

and motivates me when I think

of all the fun stuff to do for

another person, and the awe-

some feeling of showing and

being appreciated.

And often the most gratifying

gift giving is volunteering or

giving your time to a cause that

is dear to your heart. Take the

first step of casting out gratitude

and get ready for a net filled

with love and blessings to come

back to you.

Don’t get discouraged if a per-

son or people do not reciprocate,

trust me it always comes back

and not always from the person

that was the benefactor of your

kindness. Do kind things for the

right reasons and watch all the

love that is returned!

The majic of gratitude can

change your life!

Thank you so much for reading

this, and have a awesome

month!

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.

THE CHURCH OF CHRISTWas founded by Christ Matt 16:18 he bought it.

There are many in the religiousworld today having FUN, goingto family reunions, birthday par-ties, giving HOLIDAY feastsand New Year parties, having afew drinks just having a merrygood time. We are sure some, ifnot many would ask, what’swrong with that? There is noth-ing wrong with it according toour FLESH, actually its FU�!But according to Christ and hisapostles, to our SPIRIT it is avexation, to our soul it is damna-tion, because it is VAIN therebyit is wrong Rom.8:5-10;Gal.5:16-17; Phil.3:16-20;Titus3:8-11, (See also Eccl.chapters 1and 2). The scrip-tures teach that, among many,one of the works of the flesh isREVELLING, and that thoseparticipating in it or any suchlike, shall not inherit the king-dom of God. As we start thisstudy please, pay close attentionto all scriptures and all defini-tions of words, then it will beunderstood why true Christians,followers of Christ, cannotParty. Please read the instruc-tions on feasts, given by theLord and SAVIOR Jesus Christ;“Luke 14:12 Then said he alsoto him that bade him, When thoumakest a dinner or a supper, callnot thy friends, nor thybrethren, neither thy kinsmen,nor thy rich neighbours; lestthey also bid thee again, and a(*)recompence be made thee.13 But when thou makest afeast, call the poor, the maimed,the lame, the blind: 14 And thoushalt be blessed; for they cannot(*)recompense thee: for thoushalt be (*)recompensed at theresurrection of the just.”

1 Pet 4:1 Forasmuch then asChrist hath suffered for us in theflesh, arm yourselves likewisewith the same mind: for he thathath suffered in the flesh hathceased from sin; 2 That he nolonger should live the rest of histime in the flesh to the lusts ofmen, but to the will of God. 3For the time past of our life maysuffice us to have wrought thewill of the Gentiles, when wewalked in lasciviousness, lusts,excess of wine, revellings, ban-quetings, and abominable idola-tries: 4 Wherein they think itstrange that ye run not withthem to the same excess of riot,speaking evil of you:(KJV)

Keeping the above scriptures inmind, the scriptures also teachthat as Christians, we are not togive heed to fables and endlessgenealogies see (1Tim.1:4).Christians must not live by theflesh anymore, if they have puton the new man in baptism, andthat NEW man MUST be SPIRI-TUAL (Rom.8:5-9). There is aSPIRITUAL family reunioneach Lord’s Day, and it must beattended (Heb.10:25). Jesussaid, “Who is my mother or mybrethren ?” (Matt.12:47-50 &Mark3:32-35)

We all have kinsmen in theflesh, but Christians, (those thathave put on Christ in baptismaccording to scripture), mustremember who their family trulyis, and that the reunion is set oneach Lord’s Day.

Matt 12:46 While he yet talkedto the people, behold, his motherand his brethren stood without,desiring to speak with him. 47Then one said unto him, Behold,thy mother and thy brethrenstand without, desiring to speakwith thee. 48 But he answeredand said unto him that told him,Who is my mother? and who aremy brethren? 49 And hestretched forth his hand towardhis disciples, and said, Beholdmy mother and my brethren! 50For whosoever shall do the willof my Father which is in heav-en, the same is my brother, andsister, and mother.(KJV)

Mark 3:31 There came then hisbrethren and his mother, and,standing without, sent unto him,calling him. 32 And the multi-tude sat about him, and they saidunto him, Behold, thy motherand thy brethren without seekfor thee. 33 And he answeredthem, saying, Who is my moth-er, or my brethren? 34 And helooked round about on themwhich sat about him, and said,

WHAT IS TRUTH? REVELLINGS


Behold my mother and mybrethren! 35 For whosoevershall do the will of God, thesame is my brother, and my sis-ter, and mother.(KJV)

Acts 17:24 God that made theworld and all things therein, see-ing that he is Lord of heavenand earth, dwelleth not in tem-ples made with hands; 25Neither is worshipped withmen’s hands, as though he need-ed any thing, seeing he giveth toall life, and breath, and allthings; 26 And hath made ofone blood all nations of menfor to dwell on all the face of theearth, and hath determined thetimes before appointed, and thebounds of their habitation; 27That they should seek the Lord,if haply they might feel afterhim, and find him, though he benot far from every one of us: 28For in him we live, and move,and have our being; as certainalso of your own poets havesaid, For we are also his off-spring.(KJV)

2 Cor 5:16 Wherefore hence-forth know we no man after theflesh: yea, though we haveknown Christ after the flesh, yetnow henceforth know we him nomore. 17 Therefore if any manbe in Christ, he is a newcreature: old things are passedaway; behold, all things arebecome new.(KJV)

Titus 3:8 This is a faithful say-ing, and these things I will thatthou affirm constantly, that theywhich have believed in Godmight be careful to maintaingood works. These things aregood and profitable unto men. 9But (1)avoid foolish questions,and (2)genealogies, and con-tentions, and strivings about thelaw; for they are (3)unprof-itable and (4)vain. 10 A manthat is an (5)heretick after thefirst and second admonitionreject; 11 Knowing that he thatis such is subverted, and sinneth,being condemned of himself.

The scriptures also teach us that,NO FLESH should glory in theLord’s presence (1Cor.1:26-31).We are not to have any fellow-ship with the unfruitful works ofdarkness but, rather reprovethem (2Cor.6:14-18; 7:1-3;Eph.5:6-11). Christians can’thave it our way, we must denyourselves (Definition: deny our-selves -533 aparneomai (ap-ar-neh’-om-ahee); from 575 and720; to deny utterly, i.e. disown,abstain a) to affirm that one hasno acquaintance or connectionwith someone b) to forget one-self, lose sight of oneself andone’s own interests: KJV—deny), (Matt.16:24-25; John12:25-26; Titus 2:12-15). Wemust do it Christ’s way, becausewe are NOT our own, we havebeen bought with a price(1Cor.6:20; 7:23). The day thatwe are born in the flesh, is theday we began to die, even eter-nally; so why would one glorifysuch (see Eccl. 4:1-4)? The daythat we are buried with Christ inbaptism, thereby putting onChrist (Rom.10:14-17;Mark16:16; Luke 13:3;Rom.10:9-10; Acts2:38;Rom.6:3-8; Gal.3:27 Col.2:1-12), we are then born again(John3:1-7; 1Pet.1:18-25). Wethen MUST rise up a new SPIR-ITUAL man, a new CREATUREaccording to the apostle’s doc-trine. ALL things MUSTbecome new (2Cor.5:14-17).Then we began to live, eveneternally; ONLY if we hold tothe traditions and command-ments, that we have read andlearned in the apostle’s doctrine(John 17:20-21; Acts2:41-42;1Cor.11:1-3; Eph.3:1-7;Philip.4:6-9; 2Pet.3:1-2;1John4:5-6; Jude1:16-19).Now this is something to glorifyand then we will be glorying inthe Lord, not in the flesh(1Cor.1:26-31). Christians mustcelebrate this spiritual birththrough obedience, and shouldbe thankful for it every momentof the day. There are threeplaces in scripture, the wordbirthday as something celebratedor kept, is found. Executionshappened at both of these cele-brations, they being not follow-ers of God, Christ, or theApostles (Gen.40:1-23;Matt.14:1-12; Mark 6:14-30).There are no examples of Jesushimself, his apostles or anyonethat followed them, ever cele-

brating carnal birthdays orreunions in any manner. Webelieve this is true because theseare CARNAL, FLESHLY,EARTHLY traditions. (Rom.8:4-10; Philip.3:18-20).

Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walkin the Spirit, and ye shall notfulfil the lust of the flesh. 17For the flesh lusteth against theSpirit, and the Spirit against theflesh: and these are contrarythe one to the other: so that yecannot do the things that yewould.(see also Gal 5:25)(KJV)

Eph 4:17 This I say therefore,and testify in the Lord, that yehenceforth walk not as otherGentiles walk, in the vanity oftheir mind, 18 Having theunderstanding darkened, beingalienated from the life of Godthrough the ignorance that is inthem, because of the blindnessof their heart: 19 Who beingpast feeling have given them-selves over unto lasciviousness,to work all uncleanness withgreediness. 20 But ye have notso learned Christ; 21 If so bethat ye have heard him, and havebeen taught by him, as the truthis in Jesus: 22 That ye put offconcerning the former conversa-tion the old man, which is cor-rupt according to the deceitfullusts; 23 And be renewed in thespirit of your mind; 24 And thatye put on the new man, whichafter God is created in righteous-ness and true holiness. (see alsoEph 4:1-3)

Eph 5:6 Let no man deceiveyou with vain words: forbecause of these things comeththe wrath of God upon the chil-dren of disobedience. 7 Be notye therefore partakers withthem. 8 For ye were sometimesdarkness, but now are ye light inthe Lord: walk as children oflight: 9 (For the fruit of theSpirit is in all goodness andrighteousness and truth;) 10Proving what is acceptable untothe Lord. 11 And have no fel-lowship with the unfruitfulworks of darkness, but ratherreprove them.

TRUE Christians, which are fol-lowers of God, through Christand his apostles, do not have anyexample of those before us hav-ing EARTHLY, CARNAL, SEC-ULAR fun, joys, pleasures, par-ties, and revellings or any suchthings. But rather, we have beenwarned against such. Contrary towhat is being taught,Christianity is SERIOUS, andthere is nothing more seriousthan it; in that it is about eitherhaving eternal life in HEAVENor eternal death and torment inHELL(Mark9:43-48;Luke16:19-25; Heb.10:24-31).If Christ and those before usSUFFERED not to participate insuch things, why do “Christians”today think they have the rightnot to suffer? True Christianstoday must SUFFER also,

please read; “I Jn 2:15 Lovenot the world, neither thethings that are in the world. Ifany man love the world, the loveof the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world, thelust of the flesh, and the lust ofthe eyes, and the pride of life, isnot of the Father, but is of theworld. 17 And the world pas-seth away, and the lust thereof:but he that doeth the will of Godabideth for ever.”We MUST alsoSUFFER to be obedient and fol-low those before us, so that wecan cease from sin (Philip.1:29;Heb.5:8-9; 1 Pet 4:1-4). Thefollowing scriptures are some ofthe things TRUE ChristiansMUST focus on, to be right(righteous) with God, throughChrist and his apostles.

Luke 6:46 And why call ye me,Lord, Lord, and do not thethings which I say?(see alsoMatt.7:15-27)

Note the examples of the joysand pleasures of Christiansbefore us; they are NOTEARTHLY, CARNAL, SECU-LAR ones. These are the onesTRUE Christians must follow, tobe right “righteous” with GODthrough Christ and his apostles:

Acts 20:22 And now, behold, Igo bound in the spirit untoJerusalem, not knowing the

things that shall befall me there:23 Save that the Holy Ghostwitnesseth in every city, sayingthat bonds and afflictions abideme. 24 But none of these thingsmove me, neither count I mylife dear unto myself, so that Imightfinish my course with joy, andthe ministry, which I havereceived of the Lord Jesus, totestify the gospel of the grace ofGod.(KJV)

Rom 5:10 For if, when we wereenemies, we were reconciled toGod by the death of his Son,much more, being reconciled,we shall be saved by his life. 11And not only so, but we also joyin God through our Lord JesusChrist, by whom we have nowreceived the atonement. (see alsoRom 14:17-18; Rom 15:13;Rom 15:32-33)

2 Cor 12:10 Therefore I takepleasure in infirmities, inreproaches, in necessities, inpersecutions, in distresses forChrist’s sake: for when I amweak, then am I strong.(see alsoEph 1:5 ) (KJV)

Phil 1:25 And having this con-fidence, I know that I shall abideand continue with you all foryour furtherance and joy offaith; (see also Phil 1:3-6)(KJV)

Phil 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, thatye be likeminded, having thesame love, being of one accord,of one mind.(see also Phil 4:1-4) (KJV)

1Thes 2:19 For what is ourhope, or joy, or crown of rejoic-ing? Are not even ye in the pres-ence of our Lord Jesus Christ athis coming? 20 For ye are ourglory and joy. (see also 1Thes1:6-7)Phile 1:20 Yea, brother, let mehave joy of thee in the Lord:refresh my bowels in the Lord.(see also 2Tim 1:4)

Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesusthe author and finisher of ourfaith; who for the joy that wasset before him endured thecross, despising the shame, andis set down at the right hand ofthe throne of God. 3 For consid-er him that endured such contra-diction of sinners against him-self, lest ye be wearied and faintin your minds.(KJV)

James 1:2 My brethren, countit all joy when ye fall intodivers temptations; 3 Knowingthis, that the trying of your faithworketh patience. (see alsoJames 5:7-8)



1 Pet 4:12 Beloved, think it notstrange concerning the fiery trialwhich is to try you, as thoughsome strange thing happenedunto you: 13 But rejoice, inas-much as ye are partakers ofChrist’s sufferings; that, whenhis glory shall be revealed, yemay be glad also with exceedingjoy.(KJV)

II Jn 1:3 Grace be with you,mercy, and peace, from God theFather, and from the Lord JesusChrist, the Son of the Father, intruth and love. 4 I rejoicedgreatly that I found of thy chil-dren walking in truth, as wehave received a commandmentfrom the Father.(KJV)

Note the Apostle Paul’s com-mand to the Church in Corinthand Thessalonica, as he wasguided by The Holy Ghost.Notice he said “whether ye be inTHE faith,” not in A faith. Notealso the admonishments of theApostles Peter, John and Bro.Jude as they also were guided byThe Holy Ghost.”2 Cor 13:5

Examine yourselves, whether yebe in the faith; prove your ownselves. Know ye not your ownselves, how that Jesus Christ isin you, except ye be (1)repro-bates?”…Definition: (1)repro-bates-96 adokimos (ad-ok’-ee-mos);from 1 (as a negative parti-cle) and 1384; unapproved, i.e.rejected; by implication, worth-less (literally or morally):KJV— castaway, rejected,reprobate.

minds by way of remembrance:2 That ye may be mindful ofthe words which were spokenbefore by the holy prophets, andof the commandment of us theapostles of the Lord andSaviour: 3 Knowing this first,that there shall come in the lastdays scoffers, walking after theirown (1)lusts, Definition: 1939epithumia-desire, craving, long-ing, desire for what is forbidden,lust

I Jn 4:5 They are of the world:therefore speak they of theworld, and the world heareththem. 6 We are of God: he thatknoweth God heareth us; he thatis not of God heareth not us.Hereby know we the spirit oftruth, and the spirit of error.

(KJV)

Jude 1:17 But, beloved,remember ye the words whichwere spoken before of the apos-tles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 18How that they told you thereshould be (1)mockers in the lasttime, who should walk aftertheir own ungodly lusts. 19These be they who separatethemselves, (2)sensual, havingnot the Spirit.

Please remember, the purpose ofthese articles is to share withyou some scriptural truths,(John 17:14-17) thereby expos-ing error. We believe this is donebest through, definitions and the(1)preponderance of scripture;which is having superiority inweight, force, importance, orinfluence (of scripture). Webelieve this also allows scriptureto interpret scripture, therebyallowing a better understandingon that topic.
