  • Pastor Chuck: What is the definition of the Anti-Christ?

     

    “Is Islam the antichrist?”—Steve

     

    First, the term “antichrist”: there is a particular eschatological or “end times” set of beliefs drawn from several biblical passages (which include, among others, II Thess. 2:3-9; Rev. 13:4-8; see Ezek. 38-39; Dan. 7:23-26; 8:23-25). 

    This perspective purports that one day, prior to the Second Coming of Christ, a political figure will appear on the world stage. 

    He will gain immense popularity and wield vast power.

  • Forest Service urges caution to vacationers

     

    As the Memorial Day Holiday signals the unofficial start to the summer vacation season, fire danger remains high and the New Mexico State Forestry Division is urging all residents and visitors to be cautious with any use of fire as well as follow all fire restrictions while enjoying the state’s abundant natural resources.

    “We’re still extremely dry in many areas, and all it takes is one careless mistake for a wildfire to endanger our lives and communities,” said Forestry Division Fire Prevention and Outreach Program Manager Dan Ware. “With so many of us traveling this weekend and throughout the summer, it is crucial that we all be responsible and do our part to prevent wildfires.” 

    This year, 139 fires have burned 1,071 acres across New Mexico on State or private land.

  • Moniz confirmed as Energy Secretary

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Physicist Ernest Moniz won unanimous Senate confirmation Thursday to be the nation’s new energy secretary.

    Moniz, 68, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, replaces Steven Chu, who served as energy secretary in President Barack Obama’s first term. Moniz served as an energy undersecretary in the Clinton administration.

    Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., chairman of the Senate Energy Committee, called Moniz “solution-oriented” and said he is “smart about energy policy and savvy about Energy Department operations.”

    Obama hailed Moniz as “a world-class scientist with expertise in a range of energy sources and a leader with a proven record of bringing prominent thinkers and innovators together to advance new energy solutions.”

    Moniz shares his belief that “the United States must lead the world in developing more sustainable sources of energy that create new jobs and new industries, and in responding to the threat of global climate change,” Obama said in a statement.

  • LAPD responds to suspicious package at lab

    The Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Los Alamos Police Department's bomb squad responded to a call regarding a suspicious package at Technical Area 3 earlier this afternoon.

    An investigation of the package was conducted and it was determined to be a non-hazardous, unattended package.

    During the investigation of the incident, access to the immediate area was restricted. Restricted access to the Otowi Building and other buildings in the area at TA-3 has been lifted.

    Los Alamos police chief Wayne Torpy said “Our folks went out there and we are usually called when there is a suspicious package. It is somewhat routine but there was no evidence of a problem. The package was left behind by accident.”

    It was not the first time the bomb squad had been called to the lab this week.

    LAPD responded to another call Tuesday morning.

    According to lab spokesman Kevin Roark, “It was nothing hazardous or threatening.  This was a result of our standard mailroom screening process that calls for a Hazardous Devices Team (HDT) assessment and LAPD response when incoming mail/packages don't meet certain packaging or addressing criteria.”
