The Word 120, The Message of Jesus

0

The Message of Jesus by Jerome Stewart

Romans chapter 10 vs. 15 says; As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who *preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!” Believe it to the fullest extent possible that all hope rests with Jesus Christ. He is the mediator to the Father of Heaven for all of mankind, who advocates on behalf of the sinner or whatever else He so chooses to do. The beauty of God’s word is in knowing, God allows for the redemption of the sinner. 

Believe to the fullest extent possible the words of the Apostle Paul in 2nd. Corinthians chapter 5 vs. 17 which says; “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation: old things have passed away; behold all things become new.” 

When Jesus was on earth as God in the flesh, His number one mission was to do the will of the Father who sent Him, to save mankind from the penalty of sinful behavior. That’s why the evangelistic mission is so important. Saving souls is at stake.

Salvation is available to anyone irrespective of gender, socio-economic factors, whether one is rich or poor, and may God help us understand, believers do not worship an African-American, Caucasian, Black, Chinese, or Hispanic God.  John 4 vs. 24 Jesus says; “God is a Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth.” 

There’s more. Paul said to the brethren in Galatians 3 vss. 27 and 28; “For as many as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” 

There’s more!  Jeremiah known as the weeping prophet says in chapter 9 vss. 23 and 24; “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor the rich man glory in his riches: But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight says the LORD.”  

Jeremiah chapter 10 vs. 10 says; “But the LORD is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King.” The problem today is rooted in the meaning of the words of the Apostle Paul in Philippians chapter 3 vss. 17 and 18 which says; “Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern. For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ.”   

$50,000 Moskowitz Family Gift Establishes First-Ever Student Awards for UE Physician Assistant Program

0

EVANSVILLE, IND. (10/22/2025) The University of Evansville (UE) is proud to announce a transformational $50,000 gift from Dr. Jay Moskowitz and Mrs. Joanne Moskowitz that will establish the first-ever student awards in the Department of Physician Assistant Science (UEPA).

The Moskowitz Family Physician Assistant Award for Innovation in Healthcare and the Moskowitz Family Physician Assistant Leadership Award will empower students who are driven to improve healthcare through bold ideas, creativity, compassionate leadership, and a deep commitment to service. Each year, recipients will be recognized at the UEPA hooding ceremony and receive funding to support participation in a related Health Sciences conference. The awards are supported by a permanent endowment, ensuring they will impact students for generations to come.

Physician assistants play a vital role in expanding access to care, often serving as the first point of contact and the driving force behind coordinated, compassionate healthcare. At UE, the Physician Assistant Science Program prepares students to meet this need, especially in underserved and rural areas.

“Good health made possible, that’s our credo,” said Dr. Moskowitz. “These awards are about more than recognition. They’re about fueling the energy and excellence of students who will shape the future of care.”

Dr. Moskowitz’s career spans more than five decades in science, policy, and healthcare leadership. At the National Institutes of Health, he helped launch the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders and championed translational science, bridging laboratory breakthroughs with clinical solutions. At Wake Forest University School of Medicine, he spearheaded a dramatic expansion of the medical school’s research enterprise. During his time at Pennsylvania State University, he integrated research programs across campuses and established the “Jayhound” inter-campus shuttle, strengthening health science collaborations. “Innovation doesn’t happen in isolation,” he said. “Everywhere we’ve gone, I’ve tried to connect universities, industry, and communities.”

Joanne Moskowitz’s impact has been equally profound. A lifelong educator, she taught elementary school for more than 30 years, instilling curiosity and confidence in young learners. “Sparking curiosity in children is what carries them forward into science, medicine, and service,” she said. Her belief in the power of early education continues to shape the couple’s philanthropic vision.

Now residents of Evansville, the Moskowitz family is deeply connected to UE’s mission. “Every student deserves someone in their corner,” said Mrs. Moskowitz. “For us, that means creating opportunities for growth, for learning, and for giving back in whatever ways we can.”

“When a student sees their name on this plaque 20 years from now,” Dr. Moskowitz added. “I hope they remember that someone believed in them, and that it inspires them to believe in others.”

Aces Set for Matchup at League-Leading Drake

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Coming off a crucial 2-0 win over Northern Iowa, the University of Evansville women’s soccer team looks to solidify their MVC Tournament standing on Sunday with a matchup at league-leading Drake. Kick-off is set for 1 PM in Des Moines.
Last Time Out
In a crucial match for the MVC Tournament picture, Brielle LaBerge (Cumming, Ga./Forsyth Central) and Brooklyn Robinson (West Haven, Utah/Fremont) scored two goals in the span of two minutes to power Evansville to a crucial 2-0 win over Northern Iowa on Thursday afternoon.

Allie Lammers (Cincinnati, Ohio/Mount Notre Dame) had a big day in goal for the Aces, making a career-high seven saves to post her fifth clean sheet of the season. The five shutouts are the most in a single season by an Aces keeper since Myia Danek in 2023.

UNI controlled play in the first half, putting up 10 shots, but Lammers made four saves to keep the match scoreless heading into the break.

The Purple Aces’ attack got rolling in the second half, with LaBerge creating a scoring chance in the 56th minute. The sophomore put a long range shot off the crossbar, but the loose ball was corralled by the Aces in the box and a shot deflected off the hand of a Panthers’ defender to earn a penalty kick. LaBerge stepped to the penalty spot and snuck a shot under the UNI keeper for her first collegiate goal, giving the Aces a 1-0 lead.

Two minutes later, the Aces generated another chance when Ella McAndrew (Greendale, Ind./Lawrenceburg) collected a ball just outside the top of the box. From there, McAndrew passed to Robinson, who struck a right-footed laser over a leaping keeper and into the back of the net. The goal was her third of the season, doubling the Evansville advantage.

From there, Lammers and the Evansville defense held strong to maintain the shutout. Lammers made three saves in the final ten minutes, including a diving stop in the 89th minute to put a bow on a career day.

Moline, Ill.:  Behind two goals from Scott Kirton and a goal and assist from Tyson Gilmour, the Thunderbolts pulled away in the second half of their game against the Storm on Friday night at Vibrant Arena, winning by a 5-1 score.  The Thunderbolts’ home opener and President’s Cup Championship celebration game at Ford Center will be on Saturday, October 25th against the Quad City at 7:00pm CT.

Kirton finished with two goals, Gilmour a goal and assist, and Van der Veen along with Contessa one goal each.  Simoneau and Clark each tallied two assists, while Kristian Stead finished with 31 saves on 32 shots on goal for his 2nd win of the season.  The Thunderbolts and Storm meet again on Saturday, October 25th at Ford Center, with Evansville leading the season series 1
