“This is a great day for religious liberty in the United Kingdom…We give thanks to God for the outcome, and we continue to pray for our Government, as Scripture exhorts us to do, that God would bless their counsels.”
(London, England)—Christian Today has reported on the answer to many Christians’ prayers after the House of Lords on Monday defeated changes to a law that would have required church groups to hire homosexuals or others whose manner of life is inconsistent with their teaching.
Lady O’Cathain, whose amendment to the Equality Bill specified an exemption for religious groups to equality employment laws, said: “I know that very many Christians were praying that justice would prevail as the House of Lords voted on this important issue….We give thanks to God for the outcome, and we continue to pray for our Government, as Scripture exhorts us to do, that God would bless their counsels.” (Photo: House of Lords-BBC)

Scientists and politicians on both sides of the climate change debate have been pointing to the record-breaking snowstorms in the Mid-Atlantic states to promote their theories on the earth’s changing temperatures — and the debate is getting downright nasty.
As snow-weary Pennsylvanians dug out, utilities struggled to restore power to thousands and crews worked to reopen closed roads after a record-breaking blizzard that dumped more than a foot of snow across the state.

Christianity is being wiped out from public life in the name of equality, the Archbishop of York said yesterday.
Dr John Sentamu accused politicians and others of trying to sideline religion by promoting their false idea of ‘tolerance’.
He cited Labour’s equality laws as an attack on the freedoms of churches.
Attempts to denigrate church schools and ban the mention of Christmas in favour of bland ‘Winterval’ celebrations were also part of a drive to censor Christianity, he said.
The Archbishop’s comments followed the Pope’s unprecedented attack on Harriet Harman’s Equality Bill earlier this week.
Benedict XVI called the proposed legislation ‘unjust’, saying it restricted religious freedom and violated ‘the natural law’Â -Â in other words, Christian teaching.
The Golden Report – Jerry Golden from Jerusalem, Israel – 14th February 2010
We have an enemy that is unstoppable and must be recognized as our foe and not our friend. That enemy is time, and the longer Israel waits to attack Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas the more likely it is that we will have to take on others such as Egypt – and consequently more Jews will die in Israeli cities.Â
America has a problem much like ours here in Israel. If the freedom loving citizens of the US don’t rise up against the Obama administration’s destruction of the Constitution they will soon lose the liberties they so cherish. Time is not on their side, the enemy has diabolically been planning the destruction of the Jews as well as the United States.
All hell is about to break loose and we all know it, but seem to be powerless to do anything about it.  Pray as we may, God’s prophetic Word will come to pass regardless of human events..Â
Salt Shakers I-List – Jenny Stokes – 12th February 2010
Some time ago I read that there was some investigation occurring into the provision of Islamic finance in Australia.
Â
Today, the Trade Minister, Simon Crean, launched a booklet published by the Australian government called Islamic Finance.
It has been produced by Austrade (part of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade).
Â
The media release says “The booklet Islamic Finance provides a detailed explanation of the opportunities that booming Shariah-compliant investment and banking offers Australia’s financial services sector.”
Â
In the booklet, the ‘opportunities’ for the expansion of Islamic finance in Australia are explored – including attracting more international banks and Islamic banks to Australia to provide the finance, Australian banks providing shariah-compliant finance, funds managers doing Islamic finance etc etc…. (Page 6)
The booklet then looks at a wide range of trade areas in Australia and ways they could ‘benefit’ from or use shariah or Islamic finance!

Government Claims to Know Whereabouts of German Family and British Engineer
The government of Yemen has started negotiations for the release of six Christian hostages.
A German family of five and a British engineer are held captive in the Northern province of Saada, according to foreign minister Abu Bakr al-Qirbi. He was quoted by the German television channel ARD.
Johannes and Sabine Hentschel (both 37) and their children Lydia (5), Anna (3) and Simon (1) as well as the engineer were kidnapped six months ago during an outing near Saada. They were with two German Bible school students and a South Korean teacher. They were found murdered on June 12. The nine Christians had been working at the Al Jumhuri hospital in Saada.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations warns that making an issue of Islamic terror incites “hate crimes” against innocent Muslims, but federal data disprove that. And commendably, the Obama administration is ignoring the Islamist pressure group’s latest bluff.
The White House has added top CAIR donor Saudi Arabia to a list of 14 mostly Muslim nations whose travelers will undergo extra airport-security screening in the wake of the Christmas Day airliner attack by a Muslim passenger. CAIR slammed the new policy as “across-the-board profiling” and griped “Muslims will pay the price for this one.”
That’s standard post-Islamic-terror bluster by CAIR, which remains under a cloud of terror suspicion itself following its 2007 federal designation as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terror finance case in U.S. history. The group is quick to argue that increased security only serves to demonize innocent Muslims and put a bull’s-eye on their backs.
But it’s a red herring, and one that can have the dangerous effect — designed or not — of taking authorities off the scent of radical Muslims.

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — Former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has a message for the mainstream media and abortion advocates. In a new note encouraging pro-life advocates at the March for Life, the former Alaska governor says pro-life people won’t “get over” abortion because abortions hurt women.
Palin starts the message, shared with her more than one million fans on FaceBook, with encouragement for the hundreds of thousands at the March for Life.
“Tomorrow the 37th annual March for Life will occur in Washington, D.C. January is a tough month to schedule a march in Washington, but every year hundreds of thousands of everyday Americans from across our nation brave the cold weather on the anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade decision to bear a positive witness to the culture of life,” Palin writes.

BOSTON — Special elections come and go. And the party that wins the White House one year ordinarily loses seats in the next Congressional election that comes along.
President Obama spoke in Boston on Sunday at a campaign stop for the Democratic candidate for Senate.

Why are the Democrats always in disarray even when they control the White House, the Senate and the House? (more…)
QED – Abbott and the Bible – Â by Ben-Peter Terpstra – January 31, 2010
Tony Abbott’s pro-Bible statements outraged his opponents. And the reason is obvious to all with marbles.
In socialist circles, encouraging pupils to study Judeo-Christian texts is a sin. …
Click the following to keep reading http://www.quadrant.org.au/blogs/qed/2010/01/abbott-and-the-bible
Many Christian groups have praised and even promoted Mr Rudd for being a Christian. Strangely they have been very quiet about Mr Abbott’s Christian faith since he became Liberal leader.
All too often this seems to suggest that it is actually Mr Rudd’s brand of politics, rather than his faith, that they are applauding.
At the same time the atheists, humanists and socialists have been very quiet about Mr Rudd’s ‘faith’ yet have come out firing as soon as Mr Abbott became Liberal Leader and have continued to fire at him ever since.
Again suggesting that the real motivation is politics rather than faith.

In the same week, Britt Hume of Fox News had the audacity to evoke the name of Jesus Christ as a means of restoration for Tiger Woods and Pastor Joel Osteen evoked His name in blessing an activist lesbian as she was inaugurated as mayor of his city and while C-Span broadcast it nationwide. The first is being vilified, the second adored.
Are they both talking about the same Jesus? Does Jesus both restore sinners and bless sin? My Bible says very clearly that the first is central to His coming and the second is utterly incompatible.
Exhibit 1: Excerpt from Joel Osteen’s prayer at openly lesbian Mayor Annise Parker’s Inauguration:
… We ask that everything we do would bring honor to you … and we just lift up especially Mayor Annise Parker. … Lord, we thank you just for raising her up and just for your goodness, your mercy in her life, and just for supernatural wisdom, Father. We honor her today and our other officials, and Lord, we count it a joy and honor to be here in your presence with all of our friends and we just thank you for this day. In Jesus name, amen.

Zambian President Rupiah Banda said Tuesday that the declaration of Zambia as a Christian nation should be retained in the Republican Constitution.
In a speech read at the 18th anniversary celebration of the country’s Christian declaration, Banda said, “It is my passionate desire that my government can access the prosperity which comes from the living God.â€
“I am very positive that you, my fellow Zambians, share this belief with me that in this covenant lies the wisdom of God which, if you hold any kingly position like I do as the Republican President of this nation, then you can align with the covenant like King David did,†he said.
“If you are a spiritual leader, you can also align with the covenant like Moses did.â€
Banda also said that people should not take Zambia’s peace for granted but rather see it as a gift from God. (more…)
