Furthermore, the “one blood” refThe first Scriptural advisement: erence suggests a reasonable understanding to acknowledge as well. The prime commonality among the people of all races and nations is that, according to His revealed will and His divine design, “the life of the flesh is in the blood,” and the blood of all flesh runs red. When specific blood types are matched with other blood types, the blood of a red man works uniquely with the blood of a black man. The blood of a yellow man works uniquely with the blood of a white man. How can we feel prejudice toward another if we understand and acknowledge this truth? The third Scriptural advisement: the greatest principle of all has to do with the Cross of Jesus Christ. He died for all. Therefore, His death was anti-prejudicial. This point is further intensified as the Lord affirmed that “whosoever believes in me shall not perish but have eternal life.” It clearly follows that if the Cross was ever to be Christ-like, prejudice must be a non-factor. And, it surely follows that if one is to be a Christian, prejudice must equally be a non-factor. The Cross of Christ effectively defanged death, hell, and the grave for the sake of all. Thank God! Let us get this prejudice matter straight. All that has to be done is to just practice the principles of Christ.

The Bible says the self-evident point that they that we have “died to the Law were to be feasts: occasions upon (Romans 7:4)” and that we have which there would be food conbeen “released from the Law sumed whilst the participants (Romans 7:6).” The Law of Moses fellowshipped together with a celebratory air.

Finally, they were relation to the Feasts of Israel, is “appointed” times of celebration, that Christians are not themselves as opposed to an “unappointed” bound by the “appointed feasts” time of celebration. given to Moses. But that does raise As appointed feasts, it was the question: Has God ordained, or obligatory for the people of Israel to participate in these celebrations. appointed, feasts and holy convocations under the new Law of Christ? Over the years, there would arise Though men have, over the various “unappointed” celebrayears, established many “unaptions, occasions not commanded by God. Jesus Himself participated pointed” feasts in relation to the Christian faith, there is only one in one such feast: the Feast of feast ordained in the New TestaLights, also called the Festival of ment, though it is not specifically Dedication (cf. John 10:22). This celebration, began during the time called a feast and is more often referenced as a meal, or a supof the Maccabees, was not given per. We refer, of course, to the celebration called, in the New Testament, The Lord’s Supper (cf. 1 Corinthians 11:20ff). This was the observance commanded by Jesus (cf. Matthew 26:26ff; Mark 14:22ff; Luke 22:14ff) in which the participants are to take bread and fruit of the vine in memory of the body and blood of Jesus. Likewise, whilst not specifically called a “holy convocation,” Christians are expected to “come together” when they partake of this meal (cf. 1 Corinthians 11:17, 20). The early church observed this celebration weekly, when they came together to worship and notably a failure to properly observe the Supper of the Lord, is connected in the Scriptures to illness and even death (cf. 1 Corinthians 11:30): references to a spiritual condition akin to the ancient threat to “cut off” those who did not keep the appointed Passover. It is telling that for many, the various “unappointed” feasts observed throughout the year are thought to be of more importance than the one sacred meal actually ordained by Christ. Yet for those who truly wish to abide within the Law of Christ, we must wisely discern between that which is commanded and that which is merely a matter of human tradition. If a failure to observe the Lord’s Supper with a proper attitude is a cause for spiritual sickness, how much more neglecting it altogether? Those who wish to worship in Spirit and in Truth (cf. John 4:24) according to the word of God, can not allow themselves to be willfully absent from the feast that Christ has commanded. Jonathan McAnulty is minister of Chapel Hill Church of Christ.

Naquin homered in the fifth inning, scored on Kyle Farmer’s go-ahead single in the eighth and led Cincinnati to a 4-2 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday, the Reds’ first series sweep of their northern neighbors since 2014. The Reds won both games in the rain-extended interleague set, and are showing positive signs after starting the season 3-21. They’re 8-5 since May 5, and split the season series with Cleveland. Naquin tore up his former team, batting .533 (8 of 15) with three homers, four RBIs and seven runs in the four games. For his efforts, Naquin, who was drafted by Cleveland in 2012 and was a key contributor from 2016 to 2020, was presented with the Frank Robinson Most Outstanding Award as the series’ top player. “I didn’t even know that was a thing until they brought it in here, “ he said. That’s cool.” Naquin, who has found his groove since dropping in the Reds’ lineup, is batting .419 (13 for 31) with two doubles, five homers and six RBIs in eight games against the Guardians. “Yeah, a little bit,” he said with a wink when asked if it’s satisfying to swing well against his former team. “I’ve got a lot of good relationships over there.” Cincinnati snapped a 1-1 tie by scoring three runs in the eighth off Trevor Stephan (2-1), who gave up three straight singles to start the inning and threw wildly to first for an error after fielding a bunt. Farmer’s single to left scored Naquin, the second run came in the eighth came home on Stephan’s throw and TJ Friedl hit a sacrifice fly. Luis Cessa (2-0) replaced effective Reds starter Tyler Mahle in the seventh and got the win. Tony Santillan worked 1 2/3 innings for his second save. The Guardians got within 4-2 in the eighth, when José Ramírez hobbled back into the batter’s box after fouling a pitch from rookie Alexis Díaz off his right shin, and hit an RBI single. But Santillan came on and got Owen Miller to ground into an inning-ending double play. “That’s the key to the game right there,” Reds manager David Bell said. Cleveland starter Cal Quantrill pitched seven strong innings, but remained winless despite another solid outing by the right-hander. He allowed just one run and five hits, walked none and struck out five. Quantrill has quietly been one of the AL’s best pitchers since last June, when he moved into Cleveland’s rotation. Over his previous 26 games, the right-hander had a 3.05 ERA, the league’s fifth lowest. Naquin, tied it 1-1 in the fifth with his fourth homer. He jumped on Quantrill’s first pitch, driving it over the wall in left-center for his second homer in the series.

Point wins 4 titles on Day 1 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com CHARLESTON, W.Va. — If Day 1 was any indication, the theme of this mid-week meet is going perfectly. The Point Pleasant track and field programs entered Laidley Field looking to repeat as boys champions and also close out the stellar careers of a couple of seniors on the girls side, and all of those things started with a bang Wednesday night after the conclusion of first session of the 2022 WVSSAC Class AA championships being held at Laidley Field. The Black Knights and the Lady Knights have already combined to secure four state championships in individual events, with three of those four title-winners repeating in those same events from a year ago. Seniors Addy Cottrill and Elicia Wood respectively repeated as champions in the shot put and high jump events on the girls side, while junior Cody Schultz locked up his second straight discus crown in the boys tournament. Senior Jonathan Griffin earned his first individual state championship in the 400-meter dash as well. The Black Knights also claimed two other podium finishes on Wednesday night as senior Cael McCutcheon was second in the pole vault with a junior campaigns. The 2020 track and field season was cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak. Cottrill — who will be going for her second straight discus title on Thursday — has officially won four state crowns in her 4-year career, and the school is also recognizing her as a 4-time champion in the shot put event … which is a first for any athlete in Point Pleasant history. Cottrill — the school’s alltime leader in state championships in track and field history — noted that this latest title was somewhat bittersweet, being that it will be the last time she competes in this event at PPHS. But, as she was quick to clear up, it’s definitely a plus to be going out on Point Pleasant senior Addy Cottrill releases a throw in the shot top — especially with the put event on Wednesday during the 2022 WVSSAC Class AA track way things have played and field championships held at Laidley Field in Charleston, W.Va. out over her four years of high school. “It’s been an amazing 38 points, while the Lady cleared height of 13 feet four years.

That could be even more vital considering this is a matchup of teams that surrendered the fewest regular-season goals in the NHL. Another Triple Crown long shot? Fenwick is 50-1 in Preakness By Stephen Whyno AP Sports Writer BALTIMORE — Rich Strike winning the Kentucky Derby at 80-1 may not be the only big upset this Triple Crown season. Not if Fenwick has anything to do about it. Two weeks after Rich Strike became the second-biggest long shot to win the Derby, Fenwick could join him in the record books at the Preakness Stakes. The 50-1 shot also has as heartwarming a story and is as unlikely to be on the Triple Crown trail: The colt is named after owner Jeremia Rudan’s mother, who died in a house fire when he was 19 and running for Kevin McKathan two years after the trainer lost his brother because of a heart attack. “This is one of those deals where you can stop and take a breath and say, ‘You know what, we can do this,’” McKathan said. “It can happen.” Fenwick has the longest odds of any horse in the field of nine for Saturday’s Preakness, which is being run without Rich Strike, largely because he finished last in his most recent race in April and has just one win in six lifetime starts. Rich Strike also had only won once before shocking the sports world in the Derby. “Everyone’s like, ‘This is a real sport for the rich and famous,’” McKathan said. “But let me tell you what: You just end up with a good horse and you can beat ‘em all. That horse has no idea. He has no idea what he cost. He has no idea who owns that guy. He has no idea what kind of plane they flew in here on. They don’t know.” Few know much about Fenwick, who was bought by Rudan and McKathan for the modest sum of $52,000 as a yearling and went unsold as a 2-yearold after a freak accident caused him to run slower than expected.

Technically, Fenwick is McKathan’s first starter in a Triple Crown race, but the veteran horseman got training started for Bob Baffert’s Real Quiet, Silver Charm and American Pharoah. He has all three of their names tattooed on his left arm and called American Pharoah’s 2015 run to end the sport’s lengthy Triple Crown drought “life-changing.” Fenwick could presumably join them if he pulls off a Preakness upset. “Given the opportunity and everything kind of goes his way, he deserves to be here and he’ll show them,” McKathan said. “I think he is special.” It would also be special given the grief his owner and trainer have experienced. Rudan’s mother got him into racing and after calling him “Sunshine,” he thought it only fitting to honor her, especially because the horse’s mother was Make the Sun Shine. “It’s all kind of coming together,” Rudan said. The sun was shining during an early morning this week at Pimlico when McKathan got emotional talking about brother and longtime partner J.B. McKathan, who died Feb. 3, 2019, at age 53. He wasn’t sure what to say but perked up when asked what his brother would think of him entering Fenwick in the Preakness. “Oh, he’d think I’m crazy,” McKathan said with a chuckle. “My brother would be like: ‘What are you doing? Don’t do that.’” EWIDE STOR May 27thClosed # Sunday 28th # 30th off *10%rni ture Off All Fu In Stock! Only * Furniture Store OFF WE INSTALL YEAR-ROUND!

That would explain the 11th-place finish in the Blue Grass Stakes on April 9 when Fenwick broke a step slow and couldn’t find room to run. “I don’t think we really saw what he could’ve showed,” Rudan said Thursday. “He needs a clear trip, and hopefully he gets it and then we’ll really know what he can do.” Much like Rich Strike in the Derby, when the horse that was claimed for $30,000 and got into the field less than 36 hours before the race and took advantage of a blazing hot pace, a lot would have to go right — or wrong for others — to pave the track for anoth- FINANCING THAT FITS YOUR BUDGET!1 R GU 1 5% OFF SENIORS & MILITARY!

West Union, Ohio 45693 937-544-8524 OH-70284500 NATIO ’S E TT N TULSA, Okla. — By the time Tiger Woods walked toward the fifth tee box Thursday, the hot start to his return to the PGA Championship had turned cold, and what was quickly becoming a steamy day at Southern Hills had also become an agonizing grind. Two early birdies that had him in the red seemed distant memories, replaced by mishits off the tee, wayward irons into the green, fliers out of bunkers and not enough made putts to save his round. Woods wound up with a 4-over 74 on the same course where he won the 2009 PGA, leaving him weary of the cut line heading into Friday’s second round. “I got off to a great start and didn’t keep it going,” said Woods, who was often wincing down the stretch on a right leg that was nearly amputated 15 months ago. “I really didn’t give myself any looks for birdie. I was struggling trying to get the ball on the green, and I missed quite a few iron shots both ways. It was a frustrating day.” Painful one, too. Woods was optimistic that after making it around hilly Augusta National during the Masters, the right leg that was so severely injured in a car crash would fare well on the reasonably flat, compact layout in Tulsa. But whether he was fidgeting with a compression wrap on it during his second nine, or using his driver almost like cane as he walked down the fairways, it quickly became evident that the leg was bothering him. After knocking his tee shot into the greenside bunker on his penultimate hole, Woods grimaced as he walked gingerly back to his bag. He then leaned heavily on it while watching playing partner Rory McIlroy hit his approach shot. “My leg is not feeling as good as I would like it to be,” acknowledged Woods, who missed last year’s tournament at Kiawah Island while recovering. “I just can’t load it. Loading hurts, pressing off it hurts and walking hurts, and twisting hurts.” At one point, Woods had five bogeys during an eight-hole stretch, and he added two more on his final two holes. The result was his worst opening around at the PGA since shooting 75 in 2015, when he missed the cut. “We’ll start the recovery process,” Woods said, “and get after it tomorrow.” Playing in the day’s featured group with McIlroy and Jordan Spieth, Woods gave a huge gallery following their very move Thursday an early reason to roar. He hit one of his few crisp approach shots at the par-4 10th and rolled in a birdie to begin his round, then hit his approach to about 13 feet at the long par-3 14th and made another birdie. But a poor iron off the tee at the par-4 15th led to bogey, and another poor iron after a perfect drive at the 18th resulted in another. And after making the turn at even, Woods bogeyed three of the first four holes on the front side, then added those two to finish — including at the ninth, where he flubbed a chip shot from above the green.
