Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program - SNAP
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
(SNAP) helps low-income people and families buy the
food they need for good health. You can apply for
benefits by completing an application form. Benefits are
provided on the Link Card - an electronic card that is
accepted at most grocery stores. The Department of
Human Services administers this program in Illinois.
Who can receive these services?
Most households with low income can receive SNAP benefits.
The rules are complex, so visit their website for all of the
details not mentioned here. The most important factors, which
determine the amount and eligibility for SNAP benefits are:
income and expenses
the number of persons who live and eat together
Your application must be reviewed by DHS staff at the Family
Community Resource Center. If you are eligible, you will
receive a notice of your eligibility.
Income
A household might be eligible to receive SNAP benefits if
their monthly gross income does not exceed the gross income
limits shown below.
Household Size 1 2 3 4 5
Gross Monthly
Income Limit $1,174 $1,579 $1,984 $2,389 $2,794
Household Size 6 7 8 9 10
Gross Monthly
Income Limit $3,200 $3,605 $4,010 $4,416 $4,822
For households with more than 10 persons, add $406 for
each additional person.
Who can't receive SNAP Benefits?

Federal rules say some people can't receive SNAP benefits
regardless of the amount of their income. For example, most
boarders, certain non-citizens, most strikers, and people who
live in certain institutions.
How much does someone get each month?
The monthly SNAP Benefit amount depends on the number of
people in the "SNAP unit" and the monthly income available
to meet needs after the caseworker subtracts the allowable
deductions (such as rent and utilities) from gross income. The
chart below shows the highest monthly benefit by household
size. Depending on income, this amount could be less.
Unit Size 1 2 3 4 5
Maximum Benefit $200 $367 $526 $668 $793
Unit Size 6 7 8 9 10
Maximum Benefit $952 $1,052 $1,202 $1,352 $1,502
For households with more than 10 persons, add $150 for
each additional person.

“CATHOLIC RELIGION PURPOSELY
TAKES OUT ONE OF GOD'S TEN
COMMANDMENTS” By K. Lawton
They shall go to confusion together that are makers of
idols. (Is: 45:16)
Catholics love images
Catholics bow down in front of statues and pray. They love to
adore the host, which is a piece of bread. They light candles
and pray to the dead as if it does some good. They also adore
relics like a dead monk's head or a dead saint's finger. We also
know that they gaze upon other "sacred" objects and images…
like pictures of a Madonna and naked baby Messiah (salvation
was accomplished by The Man Christ Jesus). Finally, we
know that they think that there is some benefit of having "a
Jesus" hanging on the cross in their homes so they can
visualize the object of their worship. Perhaps they think the
crucifix is a good luck charm. They will vehemently tell you
that they don't worship the images but I've seen a picture of
the pope bowing down to a statue of Mary.
The Bible says don't even make images
Well, what does the Bible say about worshipping images? It
says much my friends but today we are looking specifically at
the Ten Commandments found in Exodus chapter 20. Most of
us know that the Ten Commandments prohibit even making
images. This poses a problem for the Catholic religion. How
does it get around this?
THE CATHOLIC RELIGION CHANGES THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS!
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT.
PEOPLE KEEP MISSING IT.
Even their own perverted Bibles have something that
approximates the commandment to not make images, but since
their leaders tell them they are too spiritually dumb to
understand the Bible, they don't read it (or read it with muddy
eyeballs). Therefore, the wicked deceitfully change the Ten
Commandments and PUT THEM IN A BOOK
SOMEWHERE OR POST THEM ON A WALL AND TELL
THE PEOPLE TO MEMORIZE THEM. Of course, people are
going to trust their almighty priests to tell them the truth (bad
move).
How can they delete a commandment and still have ten?
Some man might ask me, "If the Catholic religion deletes a
commandment how do they still come up with Ten
Commandments?
Let's compare the Catholic ten commandments to the real ten
commandments from the good ol' King James Bible, that pillar
of doctrinal truth (God loves the truth, you know). The
following list on the Catholic side is taken from a textbook
used in a Catholic school. It is entitled, "Growing in Christian
Morality" by Julia Ahlers, Barbara Allaire, and Carl Koch,
page 40. It has both nihil obstat and imprimatur which are
official declarations that a book or pamphlet is free of Catholic
doctrinal error. The authors of this book know these
commandments are deceitful. Look at what they say: "These
are the Ten Commandments, from Exodus, chapter 20, in the
traditional way they are enumerated by Catholics." They did
NOT use what THEIR NRSV said, they "enumerated" them
the traditional way, enumerated (counted) by Catholics.
I'll let you take a look first (see if you can figure out what they
deleted) and then I'll explain...

The Catholic Deception* The King James Bible
First Commandment
I, the LORD, am your
God...You shall not have
other gods besides me.
First Commandment
I am the LORD thy
God...Thou shalt have no
other gods before me.
Second Commandment
You shall not take the name
of the LORD, your God, in
vain.
Second Commandment
Thou shalt not make unto
thee any graven image, or
any likeness above, or that is
in the earth beneath, or that
is in the water under the
earth. Thou shalt not bow
down thyself to them, nor
serve them.
Third Commandment
Remember to keep holy the
sabbath day.
Third Commandment
Thou shalt not take the name
of the LORD thy God in
vain.
Fourth Commandment
Honor your father and your
mother.
Fourth Commandment
Remember the sabbath day,
to keep it holy.
Fifth Commandment
You shall not kill.
Fifth Commandment
Honor thy father and thy
mother.
Sixth Commandment
You shall not commit
adultery.
Sixth Commandment
Thou shalt not kill.
Seventh Commandment
You shall not steal.
Seventh Commandment
Thou shalt not commit
adultery.
Eighth Commandment
You shall not bear false
witness against your
neighbor.
Eighth Commandment
Thou shalt not steal.
Ninth Commandment
You shall not covet your
neighbor's wife.
Ninth Commandment
Thou shalt not bear false
witness against thy
neighbour.
Tenth Commandment
You shall not covet your
neighbor's house.
Tenth Commandment
Thou shalt not covet.
Did you see it?
The Catholic religion deletes the second commandment and
makes the 10th commandment into two. If you follow them all
the way down from the second commandment, you'll see the
Catholic religion is always one commandment ahead of the
King James. Finally, at the tenth commandment they break it
into two and make it the 9th and 10th commandments. What
deception! What deceit! What guile! I tell no lies here--just get
out the Bible and compare. They even corrupt their own Bible
by deleting the second commandment! You see the reason the
Catholic religion killed people with Bibles is because their
deception is just too easy to see in light of God's word.
Just a little more mumbo-jumbo gumbo for your
consideration…
The authors of "Growing in Christian Morality" have used the
NRSV--and they've even corrupted the corrupted! Remember
what the authors said! “These are the Ten Commandments,
from Exodus, chapter 20, in the traditional way they are
enumerated by Catholics:”
Now what does the Word of God say about such actions?
(Rev.22:18-21) (v.18) For I testify unto every man that
heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man
shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the
plagues that are written in this book: (v.19) And if any man
shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy,
God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of
the holy city, and from the things which are written in this
book. (v.20) He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I
come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. (v.21) The
grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
I believe therefore I speak.
Always remember that there is peace in Jesus. May the Lord
God give skill and understanding to all who truly seek the
truth. In Jesus name, A-MEN

*WARNING!*
Bottle Bombs! Submitted by L. J. Williams
Due to the extreme probability of
harm, I am not listing all of the ingredients needed to
make this.
1. a plastic bottle with a cap.
2. a little Drano.
3. *********
4. *********
5. Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!
6. No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes,
and other parts of your body.
People are finding these bombs in mailboxes and in their
yards, just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in
the trash. But, you'll never make it. It takes about 30 seconds
to blow after you move the thing. If you see a bottle in your
mailbox or yard with something in it, do not touch it. Call 911
and have them investigate it.

The Benefits of Sunlight… By B. Jordan
Not getting enough direct sunlight on your skin can have a
harmful effect on your health and worsen feelings of
depression. According to one study in the American Journal
of Clinical Nutrition your chances of getting cancer could
increase by as much as 70% if you don‟t get enough direct
sunlight.
Below are some of the benefits of Sunlight:
Sunlight triggers the production of Serotonin. This
chemical, produced by the brain, controls sleep patterns, body temperature and your libido, elevates your mood and wards off depression.
Sunlight also triggers the body to make its own vitamin D, which is vital to your health. Vitamin D not only makes strong bones and healthy teeth, but it keeps the immune system working and helps your metabolism. Vitamin D also increases the amount of oxygen that your blood transports around your body. This will increase your energy, sharpen your mind and make you feel good. Is it any wonder that we feel better from exposure to sunlight? Without Vitamin D, we cannot absorb calcium or use it in building bones. In addition, it is harder for our bodies to absorb the vitamins we get in our diets or from supplements as we get older. Our diet will only give us a fourth of the vitamin D we need, we must get the rest from exposure to the sun. You do not have to stay in the sun for long periods to get the vitamin D you need – just 10-15 minutes of safe (before 10AM and after 4PM) sun exposure a day will do it if you are Caucasian or have a light complexion, 20-30 minutes for people with darker complexions.
The UV rays are the ones your body needs the most,
but you should only absorb them for 10 minutes.
Sunscreen prevents the UV rays from doing their job,
so don't use it during your beneficial sunlight
exposure. In the summertime try to avoid being out
in direct sunlight between the hours of 10AM and
4PM. The summer sun is too intense between those
times. If you need to stay out longer than 10 minutes
use a natural, chemical-free sunscreen with an SPF of
15 or higher.
If you are ill or disabled, open your blinds/shades and get some sunlight. You will feel better and your family and friends will notice it too. Take care, and go out and get some SUNSHINE!

Building Hope: Naturally & Spiritually
Attention!
Please let us, as never before, pay attention to the utmost, to care for our family's health and our own. If we do not take care of this body, which is the temple, believe you me, we will PAY DEARLY. As I keep telling you, it is what we eat and how we think that equals good health. Two many of us are being cut on with unnecessary surgeries on the knees, back, hips, to name a few. When most of the time, it is too much inflammation, which causes arthritis that ails us. Please, do not let the name 'doctor' replace the name 'JESUS' in your conversation. If we take very good care of our bodies, and our minds, it will take care of us. Be forgiving, practice gratitude at all times, count your blessings to boost your emotional health and reduce stress that can attack the immune system. Stress will age you faster, so be thankful for your health. When you are grateful for your life and for those who love you, you want to live life to the fullest. Always be willing to help others, especially those who are less fortunate than you are. As always, I encourage us to acknowledge our Creator & Savior first thing in the morning. Some people start their day in too much of a rush to leave home and some never make it back. Take time and give thanks. Here is some spiritual food to digest:
The whole duty of man [Ecc. 12:13-14]
What is sin [1JOHN 3:4]
Six things the LORD hates [Prov. 6:16-19] A good help for the Sabbath day is Isaiah 58:13-14
Congratulations to all the graduates this year. Peace to all my ISRAELITE Brothers & Sisters, as ever yours, Two-mama CALHOUN
The Importance of Life Insurance
“In those days was Hezekiah sick
unto death. And Isaiah the prophet
the son of Amoz came unto him,
and said unto him, Thus saith the
LORD, Set thine house in order: for
thou shalt die, and not live.” Isaiah
38:1
Fortunately, for Hezekiah and his family, he was forewarned
of his coming death.
We today are not as fortunate, that‟s why it‟s important to
have our affairs in order.
“For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are
taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the
snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it
falleth suddenly upon them.” Ecclesiastes 9:12
Death never happens at an appropriate time, it‟s always
difficult when it arrives.
To help ease the sting of death, it‟s important to have our Life
Insurance Coverage up to date. Funeral arrangements‟ are
costly, and at the time of death, it is a bad time to realize that
you don‟t have the means to bury your loved one. Now you‟re
faced with having to borrow money from family and friends
who are in need of cash as you are. They have personal issues
at hand, that won‟t allow them to fit your lost into their
budget. Investing in Life Insurance eliminates this dilemma.
Be assured of this one thing, as we are born into this world, we
must die!
Let‟s all do ourselves a good deed and invest in a Life
Insurance Policy that will cover the cost of a decent burial for
ourselves, as well as our dependents. Then when death comes,
we can have one less difficult situation on our hands.
Sincerely,
The Bereavement Committee
An addendum by the Editor…
Below are a few Insurance Companies that you can
inquire about obtaining Life Insurance, but it is
always good to call an Insurance agent to get the best
insurance for your needs and affordability.
Globe Life And Accident Insurance Company
(800) 428-5466
http://www.globeontheweb.com/index.aspx
Gerber Life Insurance (800) 704-2180

Prudential Life Insurance (800) 778-2255

It is also a good idea to have an advance health care directive
and a health care agent who will handle your affairs if you
cannot during an illness or accident.
Advance Heath Care Directive:
An Advance Health Care Directive, sometimes referred to as a
"Living Will", is a written document declaring the type and…

The Israel of God Bible Study Class 2515 E. 75th Street, Chicago, Illinois 60649 773-374-6413 Email: [email protected] 7
…extent of medical care you desire in the event that you
become incapacitated. An Advance Health Care Directive is
the best way to make your medical and health care wishes
known and to insure that those wishes are followed, including
directions regarding the use of life-prolonging equipment and
procedures.
Health Care Agent:
A Health Care Agent is someone that you can appoint to act
on your behalf to see that your Advance Health Care Directive
is made known to your doctors and health care providers, and
more importantly, the Health Care Agent is the person who is
entrusted to see that your health care instructions are followed.
Appointing someone as your Health Care Agent has the same
effect as giving them a limited Power of Attorney over your
medical affairs (sometimes referred to as a "Durable Health
Care Power of Attorney." The term "durable" means that your
designated Health Care Agent will have power to act even if
you become disabled).

“A SMORGASBORD OF
A LIE”
By Kent Lawton
Everyone has favorite foods, and in
our day many of the most cherished dishes are scripturally
unclean. "But that's Old Testament," many will argue. And
they use a few favorite New Testament scriptures which they
say prove that today all food is okay to eat. How can we be
sure? Are animals and plants different today from what they
were in Biblical times? Are they all cleansed now? Do these
New Testament passages really prove that all food is
scripturally clean today? Are other issues also important in
this discussion?
The argument of the no-law teachers is that everything that
moves is fit for food. Do we accept on our dinner table a plate
of roasted rat, caterpillar, chopped snake, or winged bat? Are
these fit for food? Before discovering the truth, few of us
realized that life is governed by certain laws, just as the sun,
moon, and stars above are governed by the laws of nature.
Man cannot escape the law of the Creator. Man's every act is
governed for the good or the ill of man, according to his daily
response to the law of the Creator that was made for man - for
man's benefit. All of the ancient worthies knew and kept the
law of God the Father that was given to you by Jesus, yes
Jesus! He is the God of the Old and New Testament. It was
Jesus that spoke unto Moses regarding all of the laws
including the Ten Commandments and the dietary laws.
(1Cor.10:1-4) (v.1) Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye
should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the
cloud, and all passed through the sea; (v.2) And were all
baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; (v.3) And did
all eat the same spiritual meat; (v.4) And did all drink the
same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that
followed them: and that Rock was Christ. It was Christ that led
the children of Israel through the wilderness for forty years.
Man has never dealt with the one that became known as the
Father, never, you have never seen the Father or heard His
voice. (John:537) And the Father himself, which hath sent me,
hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at
any time, nor seen his shape. It has always been Jesus, even
when He was called by the name Jehovah in the Old
Testament.

baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the
remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy
Ghost.
Psalm 7:8-11
8The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD,
according to my righteousness, and according to mine
integrity that is in me. 9Oh let the wickedness of the wicked
come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God
trieth the hearts and reins. 10
My defence is of God, which
saveth the upright in heart. 11
God judgeth the righteous, and
God is angry with the wicked every day.
Praise the name of JESUS!

WELCOME TO THE HUSBAND STORE!
A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York
City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among
the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the
store operates.
You may visit the store ONLY ONCE! There are six
floors and the attributes of the men increase as the
shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch... you
may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may
choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except
to exit the building. Happy Shopping!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a
husband... On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1: These men have jobs and love the Lord.
The second floor sign reads: These men have jobs, love the
Lord, and like kids.
The third floor sign reads: These men have jobs, love the
Lord, love kids and are extremely good looking.
'Wow,' she thinks after visiting the first three floors, but feels
compelled to keep going. She goes to the fourth floor and the
sign reads:
Floor 4: These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are
drop-dead good looking and help with the housework.
'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!' Still,
she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 5: These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are
drop-dead good looking, help with the housework, and
have a strong romantic streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and
the sign reads:
Floor 6: You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. There
are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof
that women are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch
your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!

The Filioque: An Orthodox Perspective [Fil`i*o"que\, the Latin for, "and from the Son," equivalent to
et filio, inserted by the third council of Toledo (a. d. 589) in
the clause qui ex Patre procedit (who proceedeth from the
Father) of the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed (a. d. 381),
which makes a creed state that the Holy Ghost proceeds from
the Son as well as from the Father. Hence, the doctrine
itself (not admitted by the Eastern Church).]
