"God’s people of our synod provided faith-filled gifts in support of the mission we carry out together. Fiscal year 2021 ended with an incredible month of June. Total Congregation Mission Offerings (CMO) for the month was $1.82 million, which is 1.6% higher than June 2020."

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio Governor Mike DeWine joined the Inter-University Council of Ohio Council of Presidents on Monday to announce a new initiative to combat hazing at Ohio's public universities.
You can watch the announcement live below.
The governor will speak at the Ohio Statehouse. Ohio State University President Kristina Johnson, Bowling Green State University President Rodney Rogers and Miami University President Gregory Crawford are expected to attend the press conference.
The parents of Stone Foltz, Shari and Cory Foltz, are also expected to attend.
The announcement comes after this month's signing of Collin's Law, which increases penalties for hazing. The law was named after Collin Wiant, an 18-year-old who was killed in a hazing incident at Ohio University in 2018.
Statement from Cory and Shari Foltz
“The Inter-University Council of Presidents’ Anti-Hazing Principles are a step in the right direction and we sincerely thank everyone’s efforts to-date. However, the Principles are only a starting point; not an end. Much more work needs to be done to eradicate hazing, starting with robust and effective policies instituted by college and university presidents that leave no room for doubt that the era of hazing — in all of its forms — is over for good. To ensure no other student is injured or dies from hazing, IUC schools must establish rules that prevent hazing and hold people and institutions accountable. Zero tolerance means one strike and you’re out. It’s too late to save our son Stone’s life, but these policies will save the lives of other students who deserve to live and learn in an environment where abuse is unacceptable.”

How Sweet It Must Be - To Ban a Bible
And Denounce "The Bible Banners!"
I had a short discussion with a reader, not in opposition to him, about the New KJV. There are good reasons to own various translations and paraphrases of the Bible, even with computer searches so easily accomplished.
My objection to the New KJV is the way a false Greek New Testament is honored in the footnotes of the NKJV.
Some have observed that I enjoy having fun in the footnotes of the books I write. The reason is that a secondary message can be found in the basement (bottom of the page, the best place) to add details, quotations, wry observations, and other material that would crowd the main message (upstairs).
The New KJV does this by following the KJV above and honoring the Westcott-Hort-Nestle-Aland-UBS below - signified with NU for Nestle-Aland United Leftist Bible Society. The KJV's Greek text is identified in the footnote as M - for Majority Text. This deliberately gives status to an invented Greek New Testament not found anywhere but the crypto-Catholic minds of Westcott and Hort.
Does the NIV honor the and name the Majority/KJV text the way the New KJV honors the Westcott-Hort-Nestle-Aland-UBS? No! That irony fits into my category of the Non-Reciprocity of the False Teachers - they assert themselves everywhere but give no credit to sound doctrine. Theirs is the only truth. Krauth's eloquence below describes this universal decay of sound doctrine.
In a few words, this is the basic difference between the Majority Greek Text of the KJV and the Westcott-Hort-Nestle-Aland-UBS.
The Majority Text has thousands of copies while Westcott-Hort established their invented text from five obscure sources, centered on Count Tischendorf's "discoveries - Sinaiticus and Vaticanus."
Note how the NKJV treats the ending of Mark -
Mark 16:9 Vv. 9–20 are bracketed in NU as not in the original text. They are lacking in Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus, although nearly all other mss. of Mark contain them.

The NIV-ESV Only Fanatics Ban the KJV in Their Publications, Colleges, and Seminaries
Professors and leaders of most denominations will not even name the KJV as a good Bible, but they make money and get incentives to promote the NIV/ESV apostate Bibles.
