Announced Thursday, for the fourth year in a row, WVU Medicine Camden Clark was awarded a Five Star Rating for treatment of Heart Failure; and for the third year in a row, was recognized as a Five Star Recipient for Stroke Care and for the Treatment of Sepsis. In addition, WVU Medicine Camden Clark WVU Medicine Camden Clark Medical Center was named a Five Star Recipient in multiple categories. Medical Center was also awarded a Five Star Rating for Total Knee Replacement and Cranial Neurosurgery outcomes according to new research released by Healthgrades, the leading resource that connects consumers, physicians and health systems. For its analysis, Healthgrades evaluated approximately 45 million Medicare inpatient records for nearly 4,500 short-term acute care hospitals nationwide to assess hospital performance in 32 common conditions and procedures, and evaluated outcomes in appendectomy and bariatric surgery using all-payer data provided by 16 states. This analysis shows that patients treated at hospitals receiving a 5-star rating have a lower risk of dying and a lower risk of experiencing one or more complications during a hospital stay than if they were treated at hospitals receiving a 1-star rating in that procedure or condition.

Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood reported in a news release, that on Thursday, deputies with his office received a tip regarding the location of a possible stolen four-wheeler on the west end of Meigs County in the Dexter area. Deputy Hill, Deputy Campbell, and Sgt. Stewart responded to the area of McCumber Road in Dexter and made contact with one of the subjects that resides on the property. According to a news release, “After speaking with the individual, it was confirmed that the male residing at the property had recently traded for the four-wheeler from Anthony “Red” Davis.” The four-wheeler was confirmed as stolen out of Vinton County and was towed from the scene. This case is pending review from the Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office for charges. “We believe Anthony Davis to be the one responsible for stealing several motor vehicles from not only Meigs County, but surrounding counties as well. Gallia County Sheriff Matt Champlin’s office done an excellent job in taking Mr. Davis into custody on October 21st in Gallia County. We are now trying to put this puzzle together and recover the property he has stolen,” stated Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood in the news release.

In other words, you and I make judgments. We judge to do this thing or to do something else; to say this or to say something else (or to say nothing); to go out or to stay in; or to pursue one direction in life or perhaps another. We are constantly making decisions - which means we are constantly judging things and people in accordance to our priorities and, by extension, our values. So when a person says, “I don’t judge,” we Thom to assume that what is meant is Mollohan have something a bit more specific. Does Contributing he or she mean that I have no opincolumnist ion on the worth or value of a course of action? That would be impossible since every moment he or she is either opting for chocolate or vanilla, country music or pop or hip hop, Ford or Chevy, Democrat or Republican. So in that sense, we are all making judgments. So what does Jesus mean in Matthew 7:1-2 when He says, “Judge not, that you be not judged”? Does He mean that we are to render ourselves indifferent about the worth of different things in life on which we spend our time, energy, and resources? Does He mean that all paths are equal and render each choice as non-important? No, of course not. How could He mean that when certain choices (judgments) can lead to death while some lead to health? Jesus is speaking there to a particular aspect of judgment: that of condemnation of others. The problem isn’t that we make decisions or that all paths are of equal worth and therefore to be equally upheld, but that we take on ourselves the position and posture of God Himself, forgetting that we are all fallen sinners equally in need of the Savior. In other words, none of us are perfect. I often hear Matthew 7:1-2 quoted, but usually out of context and applied to accommodate a desire to dodge personal responsibility for choices being made that are contrary to the will of God. This misappropriation of Matthew 7:1-2 generally is utilized to render it difficult or impossible for others to criticize our position (because we like to do what we’re doing and don’t want to feel God’s conviction about our doing of it). Jesus instruction to us here is that of not assuming the position of a person who feels empowered to mete out the condemnation (rejection, discarding, or hatred of another) of others while at the same time not accepting responsibility for his or her own sinful inclinations and need for God’s forgiveness. He was addressing the human inclination to objectify others as being deserving of punishment as if we ourselves were morally superior and closer to God looking down on others by His side. Sad, isn’t it? Especially since this is what our society has become today. It is consuming us in fact and is applied to just about any topic you can imagine. People are “judging” others (as inferior or contemptible) about any and all things. Vaccinators versus those who opt out of vaccinations, public schoolers versus homeschoolers, maskers versus non-maskers, and so on and so forth. We have reached the point that we do not seem to be capable of civil conversation at all and if we cannot be civil toward one another no matter the difference in our opinions, then the argument follows that we have ceased to be civilized at all. We are losing our civilization. This is not a reference to a particular worldview or theological mindset (that is another discussion for another time). It is simply an acknowledgment that we are not only accepting of uncivility, we applaud it, pursue it, and embrace it. The Bible goes to great lengths on how Christians, as citizens of the Kingdom of God and especially as children of God, must flesh out civility (e.g., Ephesians 4:25-32). It is true that some paths are better than others. It is true that some choices are wrong and sinful and reject God’s plan. But instead of hating others for their confusion on these points, God would have us reach out redemptively. In Matthew 7:3-4, Jesus goes on to speak of our judging others, “Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own wye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Lett me take the speck out of your eye, when there is a log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.” This basically means that when we disagree with another, we first do the work of prayerful self-examination, taking our attitudes, thoughts, habits, words and actions to the Word of God for careful and humble review. We will find that a lot of our assumptions and subsequent behaviors need a lot of work. But as we do so, we can reach out redemptively to others with truth, patiently accepting that the God Who has been working in my life is also working in theirs to bring about heart change and clarity, wisdom and love. And it leaves to God what is only God’s: the role of ultimate judge. Only He can judge in the spiritually legal sense. Only He knows the eternal destiny of others. In the meantime, we love others, we share the truth of God’s Word with others, and we trust God with others to work in them the transforming work of His Spirit.

It happened on October 31, 1517, when a man named Martin Luther (not to be confused with Martin Luther King), who was a priest and professor in Wittenberg, Germany, had some new ideas different from the church back then. He wrote them all down, 95 of them, and nailed them on the church door there. Now, he knew when he did this that everyone would see and read them and most of the other priests would disagree with him, but he was very brave anyway. His act started a reformation, a “re-forming” or making corrections as he understood the views of the church. The people who agreed with Luther came to be known as Protestants because they “protested” the beliefs of only. We cannot the church at that earn our salvatime.

Many desire the applause and credit themselves instead of desiring the glory for God. We owe much to the Protestant Reformers who rethought the way Christianity was being practiced. Many “Protestant” denominations were begun because of these ideas. Enjoy this Sunday as we commemorate the Protestant Reformation. Let’s say a prayer together. Father God, thank You for giving us salvation and forgiveness through Your love and grace. We know Your Son Jesus died for our sins, so we might be saved. We give You all honor, glory, and praise now and forever. Amen. Ann Moody is pastor of Wilkesville First Presbyterian Church and the Middleport First Presbyterian Church. Viewpoints expressed in the article are the work of the author. There is a passage significant for you Last week I related the time in August when I coded while I was in the hospital and not expected to live. God restored me to life through the quick work of two nurses who applied CPR when they discovered me unconscious, and because of the prayers of one miles away who was led of the Lord to pray two hours for me. But, there is another hospital experience to tell about that reminds us all of a vital spiritual truth. It was in May, when extremely high sugar levels had made me ill, that I was admitted to the hospital. Part of the time there was during the holiday, so there was great boredom waiting for substituting doctors to inform about pending treatment procedures, and inform, especially, when I might get to go home. It was very discouraging. To make matters worse, family was not permitted inside the hospital confines because of the virus concerns. I became seriously lonely. There was one morning about which I will never forget. As I began to wake up, I was beset with a feeling of utter I reached for the hopelessness.

So, I involved the is this: there is always Word of God. As I sat a passage of Scripture on the edge of my bed, I meditated on my favorite significant for you. For example, there is are passage from the first significant passages of half of Deuteronomy 33:27. It says, “The eter- Scripture for those experiencing close times in nal God is your refuge, life. Prophet Isaiah wrote and underneath are His everlasting arms…” I kept (43:1-3), “Fear not… When you pass through whispering what it says: God is forever. He is not the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivtemporary. He provides ers, they shall not overa place of comfort and flow you: when you walk protection. If I fall (and through the fire, you shall I was falling), He never not be burned; neither fails to catch me softly. I have often imaged God as shall the flame kindle upon you. For I am the having big, strong, musLord your God, the Holy cular arms for catching One, your Savior.” purposes. In this example, “Savior” refers to one who sets another in a wide place. As Savior, the Lord is a liberator. The main idea has to do with one who delivers another who is in tight circumstances. This is a significant passage of Scripture to consider prayerfully to keep yourself encouraged. A supplementing verse to keep in mind with the previous is 41:10, which says, “Fear not, for I am with you: be not dismayed, for I am the Lord thy God: I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you: yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.” The contents of that verse may prove to be a significant passage of Scripture for anyone who may be enduring rigorous experiences. Regardless, prepare beforehand by knowing a passage of Scripture that will be uplifting to you during times that may get you down. It will lift you back up.

(Joel 2:12-13; ESV)” If the problem is that we have “become corrupt,” then the solution is to go to God for cleansing and let Him wash the corruption out. “’Come now, let us reason together,’ says the Lord: ‘though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.’ (Isaiah 1:18; ESV)” God in Christ is able and willing to cleanse the vilest sinner, so long as that sinner repents and comes to Him in obedience, for, as the Scriptures say, “whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved (Joel 2:32),” therefore, “arise, and be baptized, washing away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord (Acts 22:16).” If the problem is that we have learned to do evil, then the solution is to turn to God for instruction and learn to do good. Thus God says, “remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause (Isaiah 1:16b-17; ESV).” It was because sin was a universal problem that Jesus had to die, so as to offer a solution that was universally applicable. But jut as we chose to reject God, so too we must choose to accept His salvation. If we will not, the problem will remain and continue to grow worse, as men become ever more corrupt. The church of Christ invites you to come worship with us, and study with us concerning the salvation Christ offers. We meet at 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis, Ohio.
