Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

WHERE DID ALL THE PUBLIC SCHOOL MONEY GO?

Where Did All The Public School Money Go? Paper-Pushers

Education: Some little-noticed provisions in the GOP tax plan could have a big impact on public schools. It's a start. The education system in this country is overdue for shake-up because it has for years been grossly mismanaging taxpayer money.
The National Education Association blasted the GOP tax reform plan saying that eliminating the state and local tax deduction for those who itemize taxes would be a severe blow to schools, putting 250,000 education jobs at risk.

"It would," says NEA president Lily Eskelsen Garcia, "jeopardize the ability of state and local governments to fund public education. That will translate into cuts to public schools, lost jobs to educators, overcrowded classrooms that deprive students of one-on-one attention, and threaten public education."
There are other provisions in the tax bill that might worry teachers' unions, such as letting parents use 529 college savings plans to pay for elementary and secondary school costs. That would help make private schools more affordable — a small step toward encouraging school choice.
But it's the so-called SALT deduction that has the unions up in arms. Why? Because getting rid of it might force high-tax states — which benefit the most from the deduction — to cut taxes and rein in their own spending.
Of course, that's pure speculation on the NEA's part. States won't be obligated to change anything if the SALT deduction goes away.
Let's assume the NEA is correct about spending cuts to public schools. Will that "threaten public education"?
That's far from clear. After all, massive spending increases haven't helped.

Per-pupil spending in public schools climbed 121%, after adjusting for inflation, from 1980 to 2014 — the last year for which the Department of Education has statistics.
Let that sink in. We spend more than twice as much per student in real terms now than in 1980. Does anyone think children are getting twice as good an education?
Where has that money gone? Not much of it went to teachers. While enrollment in public schools climbed 23% over those years, the number of teachers climbed 43%.
But the ranks of public school administrators shot up 88% over those years. And the number of people performing other jobs in public schools — janitors, librarians, teachers' aides, principals, etc. — climbed 56%.
Meanwhile, test scores on the National Assessment of Educational Progress have barely budged for decades, and our children rank well below our international competitors. U.S. students lost ground on the Program for International Student Assessment, where average scores for 15-year-olds on reading, math and science all declined slightly between 2000 and 2015. On the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study tests, U.S. students eked out gains of only 5% for math and 3% for science from 1995 to 2015.
What's needed to improve education in the U.S. isn't more money, it's more efficient, more accountable and higher performing schools. A good way to achieve that is to inject more competition into the system. To the extent that the GOP tax plan moves in this direction, it will be a win for education and a win for students.

My comments: Public Schools are a Scourge upon America's Children.  They are Indoctrination Centers for the Religion of godless, Socialist, Secular Humanism, promoted by the NEA.
