Chinese Christians Making Impact in Earthquake Area

By Jerry Dykstra

Praying For China“People suddenly became aware of the importance of death and people are more willing to listen. At the same time, Christians can go to witness to them. We also went to hospitals and were quite surprised—things are quite open. The leaders wanted people to visit, not only to identify their own family members, but to encourage and comfort those traumatized patients.”

(Santa Ana, CA)—The following is [a portion of] an interview with Open Doors Director of China Training (his name is not given due to security issues). He talks about the devastating earthquake which hit China on May 12, and how Christians are making an impact physically and spiritually during relief efforts. (The earthquake left 69,000 dead, 18,000 missing and 5 million homeless.) (more…)

MSNBC Publishes New Report On Lakeland Revival; Can’t Ignore Impact The Outpouring Is Having

By Teresa Neumann

“I say, you have nothing to lose but your sickness. If the doctors can’t help you, why wouldn’t you give God a chance?”

FOUNDING EDITOR’S NOTE: I debated whether or not to even link to this MSNBC story. It was well done, but the secular media feels, as is normal, the obligation to post both pro and con arguments toward this revival or any news story, honestly. One can’t blame that approach as they are not there to “fan the flames” for the Church . . . at least not yet. So in order for them to be considered “news,” they have to find someone on most stories who say “My take on this is that it isn’t good.” (words to that effect). So it is with mixed feelings (mostly good) that I post this story. The summary was well written by our own Teresa Neumann with Breaking Christian News. As many of you link to the story from MSNBC, I would encourage the reader to remember what Jesus’ response was when His strange healings were happening and John the Baptist was stuck in prison. “Are you the ONE?” He was asked, “or should we look for another?” Jesus’ response was simple and direct: “. . . So He replied to the messengers, ‘Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.'” Luke 7:21-22 (NIV) – Steve Shultz, BCN.

Edges Fray On Control Freak

By Andrew Bolt – The Herald Sun

Andrew BoltTHE private Kevin Rudd is smashing into the public image of Kevin Rudd, and his blood is now all over the polls.

I’ve said it for a year, but only now do more Left-leaning commentators agree there’s a potentially fatal flaw in the Prime Minister.

It’s that personality thing. Once again we find – as we did with the unstable Mark Latham – that character in politics is king. Or knave. (more…)

Celebrities, Charlatans And The Kingdom Of God

By Bill Muehlenberg


It is both an amazing and a humbling truth that God has for some reason decided that his work in this world would largely be carried out by you and me. He has said that we his people will help to build his Kingdom. Despite our fallen, frail and fickle natures, he has wondrously and mysteriously chosen us to help get the job done.

That is an incredible thought. As Paul puts it in 2 Corinthians 4:7, we have this treasure (the glory of God) in earthen vessels (our own weak and stumbling selves). Imagine the humility and grace of God, to entrust this most vital of tasks to us.

It is almost as if I had a multi-million dollar business deal to stitch together, and I entrusted the whole job to a five-year-old boy. Or as if I must sit a rigorous PhD entrance exam, and I ask a four-year-old girl to take it for me. Or as if I choose to entrust the flying of a 747 to a three-year-old boy. (more…)

Christians Respond To Crisis In Myanmar

By Joshua Goldberg

As the worst cyclone and natural disaster to hit since the South East Asian tsunami crisis nearly four years ago continues to wreck havoc and bring unspeakable destruction among the people of Myanmar, Christian groups have been mobilized into action, carrying the burden of the Lord to all those in need.

World Vision is providing clean water and other relief supplies in Myanmar.Gospel for Asia (GFA), which has more than 400 churches and over 200 missions scattered throughout the nation, has been among the first groups to respond to the crisis, which has left an estimated 40,000 either dead or missing. The group has temporarily turned their Bible College in the capital of Rangoon into a makeshift shelter for over dozens of people.

Through GFA, dozens of villagers who have lost their homes and all their belongings are now being shown the love of Christ through the careless giving of food, water, and shelter. (more…)

Senior Judge Says British Family Life Is “In Meltdown”

“Family breakdown ‘ a cancer’ behind almost every evil affecting the country”

 A senior Family Division judge, Mr Justice Sir Paul Coleridge (58), who presides over family courts in the South-West, has launched an outspoken and devastating attack on the state of family life in Britain – and blamed the government for the breakdown of society. He made his remarks last Saturday (5 April) in a speech to family lawyers. The judge has been married for 35 years and has three children.

Using graphic language, he spoke of an ‘epidemic’ of family failures. He warned that children born into broken homes are increasingly turning to drink, drugs and crime. (more…)

Iranian Leader Ahmadinejad In Rudd’s Sights

By Dennis Shanahan – The Australian

Prime Minister Kevin RuddTHE Rudd Government is preparing a case to take Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the International Court of Justice for “inciting genocide” and denying the Jewish Holocaust.

Australia is the only nation pursuing Iran’s despotic leader, who has threatened to “wipe Israel off the map”, through international laws.

The Australian revealed last October that Kevin Rudd, then the Opposition leader, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejadpromised the Jewish community before last year’s election he would take legal proceedings in the ICJ against Mr Ahmadinejad.

The Labor leader said it was “strongly arguable” that Mr Ahmadinejad’s conduct – statements about wiping Israel off the map, questioning whether Zionists were human beings and a conference that he convened on the veracity of the Holocaust – amounted to incitement to genocide, which was criminalised under the 1948 genocide convention.

Iran’s Unprecedented Crackdown On Youth Is Driving Them To Christ

By Teresa Neumann

Sat 7 Work“Viewers have said that SAT-7 PARS is their only source of Christian teaching, training and encouragement. Others have worked with PARS counselors to learn how they can become followers of Christ, so much so, that more counselors were needed this year.”

(Iran)—Mission Network News reports that the length and severity of a crackdown in security targeting thousands of women and youth for violating Sharia law is unprecedented in the Islamic republic in recent years; but the harsh tactics may be having the opposite effect on Iran’s youth says David Harder of SAT-7, a Farsi-language, Christian satellite TV channel.

When Muslims Become Christians

Church & Mosque in Jerusalem

There’s a widespread belief that the penalty for leaving Islam is death – hence, perhaps, the killing of a British teacher last week. But Shiraz Maher believes attitudes may be softening.

Ziya Meral’s parents disowned him when he converted from Islam to Christianity.

“They said ‘go away, you’re not our son.’ They told people I died in an accident rather than having the shame of their son leaving Islam.”  (more…)
