How often have you heard the response to “can you be there”
or “can you support us in this” coming as an almost instant cli-
ché: “Sorry, I’m much too busy with things at my church to add
anything else right now. Maybe another time.” It is this attitude
of isolation within the walls of a church facility that has caused
the Church to be impotent and powerless in a world becoming
quickly devoid of Biblical Values.
Pastor Rod Parsley expressed it this way, “I will not remain
quiet…God is watching.” That’s it! God is watching! I need no
other persuasion, nothing else to compel me to action than the
knowledge that “God is watching.”
We’ve experienced the effectiveness of our combined voices
during the recent legislative session in Santa Fe in which a
number of key issues were successfully addressed. Many of you
were introduced to the political realm for the first time: what an
eye opener! Others were energized, once again, as they became
involved after many years of “silently” watching their rights
and values being legislated away. We are a people and a nation
founded on Judeo-Christian values and principles. It’s time we
act like it. God is watching!
Many have said it’s not politically correct to wear our Christian-
ity on our sleeves. They are correct; you can always just roll up
your sleeves. We are called to put on the “full armor of God”.

Faithful Christian, stay on course to the end of your life. Your
work and your life must go off the stage together! Persisting
to the end will be the burr under your saddle- the thorn in your
flesh – when the road ahead seems endless and your soul begs
an early discharge. It weighs down every other difficulty of
your calling. We have known many who have joined the army
of Christ and liked being a soldier for a battle or two, but have
soon had enough and ended up deserting. They impulsively
enlist for Christian duties, are easily persuaded to take up a pro-
fession of religion, and are just as easily persuaded to lay it
down. Like a new moon, they shine a little in the first part of
the evening, but go down before the night is over. Yes, man
of God, this is hard work! Taking up the Cross daily, pray-
ing always, watching night and day and never laying aside our
Amour to indulge ourselves, sends many sorrowful away from
Christ. Yet this is your calling: to make the Christian faith
your daily work, without any vacation from one end of the year
to the other. So faithful Christian, stay on course to the end of
your life: in Christ Jesus- Amen.

prior experience with police chaplaincies. Reverend
Bonto approached APD Chief of Police Paul A. Shaver
and suggested that an APD Chaplain Unit should be
formed. On March 10, 1969, with Chief Shaver’s full
support and encouragement, the Reverend John A.
“Jack” Price (the Albuquerque Law Enforcement Build-

lain Commander for the Albuquerque Police Depart-
ment. The first Unit consisted of 35 ministers and one
motor vehicle that was donated by a local automobile
agency.
One of the first goals for the Unit was to demonstrate
a readiness to stand and bear witness to the forgiving
love and concern of God Almighty. The goal applied
to everyone, but especially those in sorrow and despair.
The goal still guides the Unit today.

were divided and often silent. They limited their support of
Israel to prayers and charitable donations.
