  • The video and pictures from June 11, 1982 in Downtown Detroit are as unnerving as they are impressive.

    Detective Robinson is the Definition of a Hero. Maybe some of those Uvalde, Texas police could learn a thing or two from this Man. He entered into this situation on his day off spending it at a Ballgame. And he didn't hesitate to go into harms way. Also, have to feel sorry for the killer's Brother, who also got caught up in this mess trying to stop his Crazy Brother!!

    HIS AMAZING GRACE:
    There is only ONE God with three parts, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Humans have three parts, the body, soul and spirit. ONE person three parts.
    The Bible says that we are all sinners.
    As it is written: There is none righteous no not one. Romans 3:10
    For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23
    But we are all as an unclean thing and all our righteousness are as filthy rags. Isaiah 64:6
    For the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23(the word “death” in this verse means eternal separation, from God in hell).
    Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.Isaiah 1:18
    Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures and that He was buried and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures.1CORINTHIANS 15:3-8
    In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:14
    For by grace ye are saved, through faith; and not of yourselves
    it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
    I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. Galatians 2:21
    Your trust in Jesus and what He did for you on the cross, is what saves you from hell.
    The moment you trust in Jesus and only Jesus, you are saved.
    After people get saved they get baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
