The Importance of Prayer: How a Christian Gold Company Stands Out by Defending Americans’ Retirement
Just before 5 p.m. Wednesday, Johnson posted the following message on his Facebook page:

His deathbed statement was to proclaim his innocence.
A then-17-year old girl said on New Year’s Eve, 2012 while she was living in the Heart of Fire City Church where Johnson was pastor. Johnson, who had been drinking a lot, came into her room, kissed her and fondled her under her clothes.
He was never charged. If he was guilty, wouldn’t he have been charged?
Lord Jesus, please bring to light what has been done in the night. Make all things known. Convict the guilty that they may begin to see the light and grace this brave man has offered in his forgiveness. Surround Rebecca with a peace that passes understanding, love from all those who surround her, the ability to forgive. Do not let this destroy her or her family. Please, Lord, stop the carnage of false accusations and fake news, lest America is destroyed because of it. Lest any more innocent men (and women) are destroyed. In this horror, shed your love and grace. May your name be glorified in that even in his death, Senator Johnson, as you, as Stephen, asked that we not lay this sin to the charge of the false accusers. Only an innocent man can ask that.
I can’t tell you how happy I am that this vile human being had the good sense to punch his own ticket. He was a hate-filled, racist, sexist loser who was caught with his hand in the sexual predator cookie jar. He destroyed many lives and what makes all this worse is he did all of his vile dirty work under the guise of being a man of the cloth. Then when it was time for him to be confronted by his actions, of course he took the coward’s way out. The lord won’t have this snake, so I hope he had his flame retardant underwear on when he pulled that trigger.
Before people jump to conclusions just search out how many rape cases there have been that resulted in prison ONLY to find that DNA evidence exonerated the man.
It wasn’t so long ago my mother and I had discussions about capital punishment. I “trusted” the legal system so I went along with many as a result. Even though she was quite conservative she couldn’t agree with that punishment. I’ve swung so far to the other side that I don’t trust anything in the Justice System. There is just too many avenues in the system that are corrupt. Far too many to begin to list here.
Well, he should have insisted that DNA evidence be examined if he was truly innocent. Instead, he took the coward’s way out, and in my opinion, it was because he knew he was guilty and knew he would be judged for these crimes.
Are you capable, or have the ability to read above the third grade level, because your reply is incongruous.
