Caught in the Very Act President Clinton was caught in the very act and it made big news. He was tried by the whole world being the leader of the most powerful nation of the world. His affair with Monica Lewinsky almost cost him the presidency and his family and the nation in a sense suffered shame. A recent big name caught in the very act is General Petraeus. He resigned his position because of his affair with his biographer Paula Broadwell.

World (Word) Hunger Jesus is interested in all of our affairs including what to eat. He is concerned about World hunger too because the Scriptures says God “gives food to all flesh” (Psalm 136:25). There is a serious food hunger in our world today. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), “In round numbers there are 7 billion people in the world. Thus, with an estimated 925 million hungry people in the world, 13.1 percent, or almost 1 in 7 people are hungry”. These are real figures and we should do whatever we can to help feed people and nations.
