Chante Mallard (Fort Worth, Texas)

25 year old woman was

"messed up on X pills" &

driving her

97 Chevy

Cavalier

when she “hit

this white man."

Mallard

struck

Greg

Biggs, a 37-year-old homeless man,

AND she

continued driving with the victim "sticking halfway into the passenger compartment through the windshield."

When

she

reached her home,

she left the car in her garage--with Biggs still encased in the windshield.

He would

die there two days later.

Police

say Mallard, a nurse's aide, ignored Biggs's repeated pleas for help.Slide11

Ecclesiastes 7:20

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; &

the

Lord

 hath laid on him the iniquity of us all

. Isaiah 53:6

For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23

But

we are all as an unclean thing, &

all our

righteousnesses

are as filthy rags;

and we

all do fade as a leaf;

and our

iniquities, like the wind,

have taken

us

away.

Isaiah 64:6 Slide18

Isaiah 64:6 (AMP) 

For we have all become like one who is

unclean

[ceremonially, like a leper], and

all our righteousness

(our best deeds of rightness and justice)

is like filthy rags 

or

 a polluted garment

; we all fade like a leaf,

and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away

[far from God’s favor, hurrying us toward destruction].Slide19

“No sin is small. No grain of sand is small in a watch!” Bishop Jeremy Taylor

It

is a supreme folly to talk of a

little

sin,

as

it would be to talk of a small

Decalogue

that forbids it,

or is

diminutive

God that hates it

,

or

a

shallow

hell that shall punish it.

Rev

Charles RobinsonSlide20

Since the Fall, Man

has known:

Genesis 2:17

(KJV)

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou

eatest

thereof thou shalt surely die.

Genesis 3:6

(KJV)

And

when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.Slide21

Knowledge of Good & Evil has been with us!

And given a choice—all of us—declare both the Bible & History –will choose wrong.Slide22
