Report: Entire Families Coming to Christ in Saudi Arabia

Greg Kernaghan/OM International

We’re hearing of women and whole families coming to Christ, which is significant. Normally we would know of individual men but, as the culture places such importance on the family unit, this is a major step forward.

One girl is writing hymns and posting them on the Internet. That was where she learned of Christ and has “met” workers, although she has yet to meet other Christians face to face. Two of her sisters also believe in Christ. A Bahraini across the country is gifted in playing local Arabic instruments. He puts her hymns to music and posts them on YouTube.

Media Makes a Difference

Another young girl came to Christ through media. When her parents found out, they were incensed and made attempts to marry her to a fanatical Muslim. People began to pray for her, and their prayers were answered when the wedding to this man was canceled. The family’s emotional abuse ceased, and her sister, having seen her bear up under suffering, has come to Christ.

One brother, Yazid*, was introduced to Christ through visions and dreams. Bored, he was surfing the Internet at work when the Holy Spirit spoke clearly to him to read the Injil and learn about Christ. He downloaded it and began to read the Scriptures. Every time he returned to his desk, God told him to read more. At first it was like a dark cloud, as he began at Genesis, but he read through until the Gospels when the darkness lifted and he understood.

Pr Daniel speakingDear family & friends in Christ,Worshipping King Jesus

1) We praise and thank God for a wonderful weekend of meetings in Albury, Culcairn & Wagga Wagga in NSW, where Pr Daniel along with a team from CTFM ministered at these 3 locations.

We praise and thank God for touching so many lives!

At every meeting Pr Daniel preached the Word of God and shared some very powerful testimonies of what God is doing in Australia and overseas.  People were so mightily blessed.  He also shared some of the major changes the current government has made on Multiculturalism, Free Speech, Immigration, etc. as a direct result of talks had with RUAP before the last election.  On hearing of the changes people clapped their hands in great excitement.

Pr Daniel with Diana Shield who died & came back to life in 2010 on CTFM Israel tourHe then also challenged the people to continue to stand for Australia’s Judeo-Christian Heritage and Rise Up to take Australia for Jesus.  Pr Daniel speaking (2)

Some of the Pastors at the meeting commented, “My eyes have been opened to see some things I never thought of.  Now I realise how important it is for us to Rise Up and govern this country. Thank you so much Pr Daniel for not bowing down to the pressure brought upon you. You are God’s gift to us.”

Pr Daniel stated, “Sometimes I feel very tired as I travel and minister, in addition to also missing my family, but nothing can compare to the joy which comes into my heart when I see people challenged and set free by the power of God and the word of His testimony. Nothing can bring more joy than to see my nation come back to Jesus. I praise and thank God for the remnant who have refused to bow down to political correctness in the church.

It is time for a Revolution of love for a national Reformation. God is looking at our generation to take this stand and prepare the way for His coming.”

America’s Chief Export: Immorality

Matt Barber12/16/2013 Matt Barber

Why are Americans so peeved?

Is it Obamacare?

Well, partly—and in a big way. One wonders, in fact, if that sign language interpreter at the Mandela funeral moonlighted as the lead IT consultant for Healthcare.gov.

But it’s much more than just Obamacare. How do we explain America’s red-level economic and socio-political misery index?

Is it rising unemployment or the shrinking economy?

Is it explosive debt and deficits or pervasive government eavesdropping?

Pray for the Lost Sheep of Hollywood

Miley CyrusCharisma News 1/30/2014 Charis Hillman Brown

With all the craziness that has happened in the last fews months when it comes to popular culture, I’m sure many of us wish we didn’t know what “twerking” was. But, sadly, a 20-year-old former tween idol named Miley Cyrus gave us an eyeful at the VMAs last year. This catapulted the Hannah Montana star into superstardom, and she became the No. 1 ranked people search on Google. All due to twerking (a super sexualized dance), sitting on a wrecking ball naked, licking a sledgehammer, and hanging her tongue out like Gene Simmons.

Justin Bieber had a rough year last year, in addition to the newest crisis involving egging a neighbor’s house and an arrest for driving under the influence. Brothels, marijuana, strip clubs, battery, graffiti, bursts of expletives and peeing into a washbucket are among the reported activities for this once-sweet and respectful singer who sang songs like “Pray.”

What is happening to these stars that they are exhibiting such behaviors with no sign of remorse and leading other young and impressionable youth along with them?

Sri Lanka: Christians protest after attacks by Buddhist extremists

Sri LankaThursday 30 January 2014 – Christian Today

More than 2,000 Christians gathered in Colombo on Sunday to protest against a perceived lack of religious freedom in Sri Lanka, following recent attacks on Christian places of worship by Buddhist extremists.

Two churches and a Christian prayer centre were attacked on Jan. 12 by Buddhist mobs claiming they were illegal and aiming to take Buddhists away from their religion.

The prayer centre, belonging to the Church of the Foursquare Gospel in Pitipana, near Colombo, was set alight on the same day as attacks on the Assemblies of God Church and Calvary Free Church in the southern coastal town of Hikkaduwa.

The fire was quelled in Pitipana before the centre was completely destroyed. Release International reported that a note was left outside the building, threatening further violence. Both churches in Hikkaduwa suffered extensive damage, with windows and furniture smashed and Bibles burned.

Pop star Katy Perry’s performance of “Dark Horse” during the 2014 Grammy Awards on Sunday evening has shocked some fans as it displayed dark satanic imagery, including witchcraft and demons.

Perry was dressed as a witch and wore a Knights of Templar cross across her chest during the performance. She also pole-danced on a broom, and was finally burned at the stake towards the end of her controversial ensemble on the awards show, which is watched by families across the world.

The singer’s dark performance shocked many, even prompting E! News to tweet: “Um, did we just witness actual witchcraft during Katy Perry’s #Grammys performance?”

Fans took to Twitter to express their opinions about Perry’s controversial “Dark Horse” performance.

Street preacher arrested in Scotland for condemning homosexuality

Tony MianoDUNDEE, Scotland, January 29, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Tony Miano, an American evangelical street preacher and former policeman, must be getting used to being arrested for his beliefs in Britain. Miano was arrested January 8th, in Dundee, Scotland, and remanded in custody to appear before Dundee Sheriff Court the next day. Charged with a public order offence and held for nearly 30 hours, Miano was allowed to return to the US on the condition that he returns to the court in April.

A spokesman for the legal advocacy group Christian Concern told LifeSiteNews.com that the situation of street preachers being arrested is getting out of hand, with police making what are, essentially, arbitrary arrests.

Garry Selfridge, spokesman for Christian Concern said that the Dundee court “is being a little pathetic and backward” in allowing the proceedings to move forward.

“There is an overall blanket of political correctness that cloaks the whole establishment in the UK, so the police are not well advised or well trained to deal with such situations,” he said.

Does Fatherlessness Produce Faithless Atheists?

A once-popular book that links atheism with shoddy fathering is getting a second life with a new publisher, thanks, in part, to the rise of nonbelief in the United States.

Faith of the Fatherless: The Psychology of Atheism by Catholic psychologist Paul C.Vitz posits that “intense atheists” throughout history—Nietzsche, Voltaire and Madalyn Murray O’Hair—had absent or rotten fathers. This, he argues, damaged their ability to form a relationship with a heavenly father.

Vitz also holds that many notable believers—Renaissance man Blaise Pascal, anti-slavery activist William Wilberforce and Nazi martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer, among others—had great relationships with their dads, and were therefore more able to build relationships with God.

“We need to understand atheism has a lot to do with our emotional attitudes towards life, other people and a lot of other things,” Vitz said from his office at the Institute for the Psychological Sciences, a Catholic graduate school in Arlington, Va. “I think that is an important thing for atheists and believers alike to take into consideration.”

Study: Obama Helped Sway Americans in Favor of Gay Marriage; Used LGBT Terms More Than Any Other President

U.S. President Barack Obama addresses his year-end news conference in the White House briefing room in Washington, December 20, 2013.By Stoyan Zaimov, Christian Post Reporter – January 25, 2014

President Barack Obama has helped sway Americans in support of same-sex marriage, according to a newly released study by the Human Rights Campaign, which notes that he used the word “gay” 272 times in public speeches, more than any of his predecessors.

“Words matter an enormous amount, and when President Obama uses his platform to declare that LGBT people are just as American as anyone else, it has a huge and historic effect. President Obama has helped the American people get to know LGBT people on a personal level, and evidence suggests that when people know us, they don’t want to discriminate against us,” said HRC President Chad Griffin.

“President Obama has worked tirelessly to improve the lives of LGBT people, and the power of his rhetoric has been an essential part of that legacy.”

The report noted that American support for gay marriage has risen from 40 percent in 2008, when Obama took office, to 53 percent in 2013, pointing to Gallup poll statistics. It added that Obama used words like “lesbian,” “gay,” “bisexual” and “transgender” in his public statements more than former Presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan did.

Confirmed: The United States Is the Chief Facilitator of Christian Persecution

Raymond Ibrahim is author of Crucified Again Exposing Islam’s New War on Christians.The Christian Post – By Raymond Ibrahim, CP Op-Ed Contributor – January 21, 2014|

Prominent indicators confirm that the U.S. is the chief facilitator of the persecution of Christians around the world today.

According to the recently released 2014 World Watch List, which ranks the 50 nations where Christians are most persecuted, Syria is the third worst nation in the world in which to be Christian, Iraq is fourth, Afghanistan fifth, and Libya 13th. All four countries receive the strongest designation, “extreme persecution” (other designations are “severe,” “moderate,” and “sparse” persecution).

Aside from being so closely and harshly ranked, these four nations have something else in common: heavy U.S. involvement. Three-Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya-were “liberated” thanks to U.S. forces, while in the fourth, Syria, the U.S. is actively sponsoring “freedom fighters” against the regime, many of whom would be better labeled “terrorists.”

Spanish Cardinal-elect: ‘not an insult’ to call homosexuality a psychological disorder

Cardinal-elect Fernando Sebastián Aguilar with Pope Francisby Hilary White, Rome Correspondent ROME, January 21, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) 

The secular media is abuzz with comments from Archbishop Fernando Sebastián Aguilar, recently named as a cardinal-elect by Pope Francis, that homosexuality is a mental disorder that can be treated.

Sebastián told the Spanish newspaper Diario Sur on Monday that: “Homosexuality is a defective manner of expressing sexuality, because [sex] has a structure and a purpose, which is procreation.”

“A homosexual who can’t achieve procreation is failing,” he said. “Our bodies have many defects. I have high blood pressure, a defect I have to try and correct in whatever way I can.”

“To say that homosexuality is a defect is not an insult,” he added. “It helps because in many cases of homosexuality it is possible to recover and become normal with the right treatment.”

Unsurprisingly, the comments have aroused the ire of both the homosexualist lobby and their supporters in politics and the mainstream secular media. The Spanish homosexualist lobby group Colegas accused Sebastián of “homophobia” saying that homosexuality is not a “curable illness”.
