The Eternal Truth! by Jerome Stewart

There is so much joy in placing trust in the wisdom of the living God. David’s words were with a sincere heart. Today those words are just as meaningful. Psalm 34 vs. 8 He says; “Oh taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trust in Him.” Those words are not time sensitive, and will never lose the meaning of the benefits of having trust in the living God.  

There are a lot of things being spoken today about what is right, and what is wrong. Proverbs 3 vs. 5 says; “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; in all thy ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” Romans 3 vs. 5 says; “Let God be true and every man a liar.”

God’s way will help anyone to be a good mother, father, sister, brother, friend, or just a good person. Anything said today which perverts the gospel of Jesus Christ should be considered as useless. 

Recognize that Jesus has paid for all the spiritual training needed today, when He hung, bled and died on the cross for the sins of all mankind. If the world was perfect there would be no need to share the good news about Jesus. But since we know the world is filled with the many imperfections of mankind, the need to teach and study God’s word is great. 

The Apostle Paul said to the brethren in Romans chapter 10 and the latter part of vs. 15; “How beautiful are the feet of those who *preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!” We need to fully understand the gospel represents the good news that is available every day. 

Today so many people have rejected the gospel of Jesus Christ which Paul addressed to his Jewish kinsmen at that particular time in vss. 16 and 17 which says; But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “LORD, who has believed our report?” So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”  

Eternal life is mentioned 41 times in the New Testament. Death is coming to us all, but before that day arrives, it should be of major importance to those of us who care about where we will spend an eternity. 

1^st. Corinthians chapter 15 vs. 57 says; “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.” 

There is an expectation as well as anticipation for what awaits those redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ beyond the grave. As to the redeemed: Revelations 21 vss. 3 and 4 says; “God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no pain, for the former things have passed away.” 

Thank You Jesus!

 Long-term electric generation plan designed to minimize near-term rate increases while also meeting future energy growth and customer needs 

As part its commitment to affordability, CenterPoint is focused on keeping electric rates stable for the next two years 

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Dec. 5, 2025 – CenterPoint Energy’s Indiana Electric business today submitted its 2025 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) that focuses on customer affordability while also providing reliable service now and in the future across southwestern Indiana. The 2025 IRP, which was developed following a series of public meetings and stakeholder discussions since March 2025, is a vital strategic roadmap that defines the appropriate mix of generation required to meet the region’s future energy needs and support potential economic growth, while also prioritizing customer affordability. 

“We have listened closely to stakeholders across southwestern Indiana and worked together to address our customers’ and the community’s future energy needs and priorities. Our 2025 IRP reflects this shared focus on reliability and affordability for the Hoosier families we are privileged to serve. Most importantly, it provides a flexible path forward to support southwestern Indiana’s energy and economic needs for decades to come,” said Mike Roeder, President of CenterPoint Energy Indiana. 

2025 IRP: Key Benefits for Southwestern Indiana 

CenterPoint’s 2025 IRP is a forward-looking, 20-year generation plan, which all Indiana electric utilities are required to submit to the IURC. As part of a commitment to build a more reliable, safer and affordable energy future, CenterPoint’s 2025 IRP includes the following key provisions and benefits for its 150,000 electric customers across southwestern Indiana: 

·         Limits near-term rate impacts. Helps minimize any rate increase in the near term for southwestern Indiana customers. 

·         Uses existing and planned resources. Leverages existing and previously approved generation resources to meet customers’ energy needs. 

·         Defers higher-cost projects. Delays moving forward on certain higher-cost projects that would increase near-term customer bills. 

·         Provides flexibility for future growth. Includes an alternate preferred portfolio to support scalable system expansion to help accommodate potential new load growth while working to minimize impact to existing customers. 

·         Provides current and future customer savings. As part of CenterPoint’s affordability efforts, includes cancellation of nearly $1 billion in non-economical renewable projects, saving customers approximately $18/month in current and future costs. 

2025 IRP: Engaged with Stakeholders to Incorporate Varying Perspectives  

Throughout the planning of its 2025 IRP, CenterPoint has worked closely with stakeholders across southwestern Indiana and the state. The new IRP addresses stakeholder and community feedback and helps achieve a realistic and responsible generation resource plan that best serves southwestern Indiana’s energy future. The scope of local outreach and public engagement efforts included: 

·         Holding four public stakeholder meetings, with in-person and virtual options, bringing together customers and representatives from more than 30 organizations to share feedback and discuss local needs and priorities. 

·         Responding to various stakeholder requests and questions through public meetings and technical sessions and using that feedback to help refine the plan. 

·         Using stakeholder input to refine elements of the planning process by incorporating varying perspectives to develop a well-rounded plan. 

As part of the ongoing regulatory process, the IURC and stakeholders will review the IRP and provide additional feedback. CenterPoint will continue to engage customers, local and state officials and community organizations as it implements the plan and its previously announced affordability actions.
