Since 1981, God's World News has been helping children to understand and interpret the world around them. For example, the New Testament teaches that we are to invite in strangers. It also teaches that those who do not work should not eat, and that churches should be careful in dispensing aid even to widows. It takes great discernment to be both warmhearted and tough-minded toward irresponsible men who come to church doors requesting aid. Similar concerns underlie issues of prison reform.
Liberals talk about rehabilitation but ignore holes in souls.
There's one such place, located in Richmond, Texas, near Houston. Then comes the Jester II unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, prison walls topped with razor wire-and within one set of walls, the InnerChange Freedom Initiative developed by Prison Fellowship, based on its successful experience in Brazilian prisons. Inmates spend their non-work hours in classes and Bible studies rather than in front of a television. He learned much about Christ and Christlike behavior through the 14 hours a day of work, Bible study, classes, prayer, discussions, and community service that make up the program. State officials kept the ACLU at bay by giving all organizations, religious or atheistic, the opportunity to propose values-based prerelease programs.
