Lindsey reportedly recommended that Willingham resign and the board accepted the recommendation.

As I observe the legislature, it occurs to me that I am getting older. A lot of the legislators and lobbyists I have known over the years have moved on.
Human beings have been from the beginning representatives of the Creator. “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the earth and everything in it (Genesis 1:26).” And that dominion extended even into outer space. Read Psalms 8:3-8. Angels, who were created long before man came on the scene, were made to be God’s servants.

There is no question that Governor Kay Ivey’s Infrastructure/Gas Tax Program was the cornerstone issue of this legislative session. This monumental legislation will be a tremendous enhancement for Alabama’s economic development for decades to come. Gov. Ivey and the legislative leadership deserve accolades for addressing this important project. They were indeed thinking of the next generation rather than the next election. Gov. Ivey deserves most of the credit. She reached across the aisle and garnered almost unanimous support from the Democratic legislators. Indeed, the legislation passed the House on an 84-20 vote and passed 28-6 in the Senate.
Dealing with the last three and one half years of this present age introduces the subject of the two witnesses of Revelation 11. Not coincidentally, those two men’s ministries in Jerusalem will coincide with the same time period.
Unintended consequences are a common problem when it comes to making laws and government policy. A good example of this is the changes lawmakers made in 2012 to the retirement systems for education and state employees.
FLORENCE, Ala. — The University of North Alabama’s Spring Commencement will feature Chief Diversity Officer and Associate Vice Chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Dr. G. Rumay Alexander and Speaker of the Alabama House of Representatives Mac McCutcheon.

The three-and-one-half-year mystery solved: I said that the Antichrist will be concerned first with securing his absolute authority over the ten kingdoms that will be the residue of the old Roman Empire Territory. However, right now there are more than twenty nations in that old territory.
I need to take further one of my pertinent previous points. It is a sadistictheology that seeks to place the church in the middle of the Great Tribulation. It is a demonic concept that pain makes people better people. If that is so, then why did Jesus Christ bear our pains on the cross. Isaiah chapter 53 does teach that our Savior did bear on the cross everything sin had brought into our lives; including pain. Some translations say that “He carried our pains.”
The literal title, “antichrist,” appears only in the letters of First and Second John. However, the actual human being, his plans and actions, are prophesied for the most part in the books of Daniel and Revelation. Additional information about the end-times and the shenanigans of the antichrist is found in Ezekiel 38-39, Matthew 24-25, Mark 13, Luke 21 and 2 Thessalonians 1 and 2; with a few snippets of information scattered throughout Holy Scripture.
