Below the headline is a photo of a smiling woman in a hat standing beside a young girl in a wheelchair, outdoors near a pond and greenery. The image highlights the ongoing struggles of children living with Long COVID and their families’ fight for recognition and care.

This kind of thinking is what led to the 1883 Chinese Exclusion Act which was the only ethnic group to be excluded from immigration to the U.S.

This was not rectified until the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act.

So based on the math if you have a 70% chance the Christian or church you encounter isn’t on the right side of God’s score card.
