Signs of The TIMES – YOU JUST REALLY DON’T WANT TO READ THIS
By W. D. Clabaugh I

You know – you wake up on a Monday Morning or Whatever morning thinking, “Perhaps today Barack Obama will start getting it right.” “Perhaps our Nation will become a righteous nation once again”. “Perhaps… was that a white bunny I seen running down that hole? Alice? Wonderland?”

The stark REALITY OF IT ALL IS NOTHING HAS CHANGED!!! AT LEAST NOT FOR THE BETTER!!!

Here we go. The Us Military is Burning Bibles in Afghanistan. Why? They don’t want to offend the Muslims there. Okay, I had to do the same thing when I heard that the first time. I even went and got a cup of coffee, walked around a bit and took a deep breath. BUT THERE IT WAS AGAIN! The Us Military is Burning Bibles in Afghanistan. Why? They don’t want to offend the Muslims there.

But WAIT! LISTEN TO THIS!!! This is a lead in from the Washington Post …

Change has certainly come to Baghdad and it involves the U.S. Embassy there. you see, they have decided this year to hold the first-ever “U.S. Embassy Gay Pride Theme Party” next Friday at Baghdaddy’s, which is the embassy employee association’s pub. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? Wait! Let me read on. (more…)

Members Of UK Parliament Say They Need The Prayers Of The Christian Community

 By Aimee Herd – Inspire Magazine

“Christians are called to serve and lead in politics and government – and prayer is where we need to start. With the Bible, prayer needs to be shaping and guiding our words and actions as we obey the call to disciple the nations for Christ.”

(United Kingdom)—As part of the annual Week of Prayer for Parliament and Whitehall—which has the support of MPs and Peers from each of the major political parties—Inspire Magazine reports that many churches around the UK and across the world will be praying through the nights and even through the entire week.

To facilitate the prayer, a simple prayer resource pack has been produced to help Christians pray effectively for their governmental leaders. According to the report, the resources provide inspiration and opportunity for Christians to get involved and be creative in praying for politics, regardless of political viewpoints. (more…)

An Open Letter To President Obama

By Brigitte Gabriel

Dear Mr. President,

You face difficult challenges in matters such as achieving peace in the Middle East and protecting America from the threat of radical Islam and terrorism. These are challenges that have vexed past presidents, going as far back as our second president, John Adams. I have no doubt you appreciate both the gravity of these challenges and the enormous obstacles that exist to solving them.

I also have no doubt that you and your staff understood that, no matter what you said in your speech last Thursday in Cairo, there would be those who would take issue with you. That is always the case when attempting to solve problems that are as deep and emotionally-laden as these challenges are.

I am assuming it is your sincere hope that the approach you have chosen to take, as evidenced by what I’m sure was a carefully crafted speech, will ultimately prove successful. However, it pains me to say this sir, but, while you said in your speech that you are a “student of history,” it is abundantly clear that, in these matters, you do not know history and thus, as Santayana noted, you are doomed to repeat it. In doing so your efforts, however well-intentioned they may be, will not produce what you profess to hope they will produce. (more…)

Israel Needs Our Support Now More Than Ever

Benjamin NatanyahuIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has just had his first meeting with President Barack Obama. The two Obama issues are non-issues for the Netanyahu government: talking to Iran and a fast-track toward a Palestinian state.

Curiously, Obama did not hold a full-dress press conference following their summit, which focused on Iran. Was this because he feared Netanyahu might use the opportunity to appeal to Israel’s strongest base in America – some 52 million Bible-believing Evangelical Christian Zionists?

The Obama government is trying to make things move in the Middle East and there are fears this will come at Israel’s expense – even if it means bringing down Netanyahu’s government.

Obama has embarked on a peace crusade. He has invited Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to Washington. Next month Obama will speak from a podium in Cairo in an effort to restore America’s image in the Muslim world. He apparently believes this cannot happen or peace be achieved until Israel accepts a Palestinian state. (more…)

Mr Obama, Are We Crazy Or Are You?

By Pastor Danny Nalliah

Barack ObamaDear family & friends in Christ around the world,

In the past 10 days we have seen the highest hypocrisy in US politics. Who is President Barrack Hussein Obama trying to deceive?  A question well worth asking. Do Bible-believing God-fearing Christians still believe that he is a fair dinkum (real) Christian??

We all know that Obama declared the month of June as ‘Gay Pride Month’ and called on all Americans to celebrate the abomination of Homosexuality.

See http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Presidential-Proclamation-LGBT-Pride-Month/

Then he cancelled the US Government’s official participation in the National Day of Prayer, refusing access into the White House for Christians to pray.  Two African American Pastors who prayed outside the White House were arrested.

Is this crazy political correctness or what? Does this sound like a true Christian President???  Why are so many Christians so terribly deceived? Have we lost our fundamental values and forgotten the tenants of our Christian faith? (more…)

Obama Youth Brigade: Church Attendance Forbidden

By Jonas Clark
http://www.thevoicemagazine.com/politics/512-obama-youth-brigade-church-attendance-forbidden.html
 
Is this the change you really voted for? President Obama has only been in office for two months. Now we have HR 1388. The Bill was sponsored by Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) with 37 others. The Bill was introduced to the floor of the House of Representatives where both Republicans and Democrats voted 321-105 in favor. Next it goes to the Senate for a vote and then on to President Obama.
 
This bill’s title is called “Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education” (GIVE). It forms what some are calling “Obama’s Youth Brigade.” Obama’s plan is require anyone receiving school loans and others to serve at least three months as part of the brigade. His goal is one million youth! This has serious Nazi Germany overtones to it.
 
The Bill would forbid any student in the brigade to participate in “engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious instruction or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization.” That means no church attendance or witnessing.

Salt Shakers E-News – So You Thought We Were Kidding

So you thought we were kidding!

When we said that appeasing bad laws by seeking exemptions is wrong many of you probably said “they’re mad”. Well here is evidence from the UK as to why we say it is wrong. Because once you have the bad law with the exemptions you start the countdown to their removal. So by not totally opposing the law and compromising YOU ULTIMATELY LOSE. Appeasement only gives temporary relief.

This is what happened in Britain – most Christian groups/denominations did not oppose the laws, they asked for exemptions – and yesterday’s headlines read…

Law ‘will force churches to employ gay staff’
 
Churches will be banned from turning down gay job applicants on the grounds of their sexuality under new anti-discrimination laws, a Government minister said. (more…)

Religious Leaders Unite To Fight Vilification Laws

By Andrew West

POWERFUL and morally conservative religious leaders and laymen, including Christians, Jews and Muslims, have united to form a lobby group to fight what they say is the growing threat to religious freedom in Australia.

The Ambrose Centre for Religious Liberty will be launched at NSW Parliament House tonight and formally brings together for the first time the leaders of several religious groups.

The centre’s chairman, the Sydney lawyer Rocco Mimmo, said the leaders were increasingly worried that religious vilification laws – such as the ones used in Victoria to prosecute a Pentacostal pastor for inflammatory comments about Islam – would be introduced nationally.

“All of us have concerns, for different reasons, that religious liberty is in danger,” Mr Mimmo told the Herald.

“Anti-vilification laws have a superficial appeal to people but, however inappropriate those comments made by the Victorian pastor, I doubt very much whether they actually incited people to violence.” (more…)

Anti-Christian Britain

Chuch ColsonBy Chuck Colson

As you may know, in Islamic countries such as Afghanistan, converting from Islam to Christianity is a crime punishable by death. While they don’t go that far, certain Indian states and Nepal erect formidable hurdles for would-be converts to Christianity.
 
And then there’s the United Kingdom.

In 2007, a 16-year-old girl was placed into foster care after being assaulted by a family member. Her foster mother had taken care of 80 foster kids over 10 years. She rented a farmhouse and was, by all accounts, completely committed to the well-being of the children placed under her care.

She is also a practicing Anglican Christian. This hadn’t been a problem. No one had ever accused her of taking advantage of her relationship to the girls for proselytizing.

The same is true of the 16-year-old in question. Still, the girl became interested in Christianity on her own; said that she wanted to attend church; and expressed a desire to be baptized. For the girl, baptism was a “washing away of the horrible things she had been through and a symbol of a new start.” (more…)

‘Hate Crimes’ Legislation Advancing Quickly

Repent America Urges Immediate Action from Christians

- PHILADELPHIA ELEVEN AFTER THEIR VINDICATION BY A PHILADELPHIA CRIMINAL COURT -PHILADELPHIA – Repent America is urging Christians nationwide to contact their congressmen and senators in effort to defeat the passage of “The Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009” (H.R. 1913), which poses a serious threat to Biblical evangelism and active stances against the sin of homosexuality. After approval of the bill this past Thursday by the House Judiciary Committee, the measure is swiftly moving to a full vote in Congress, as well as consideration before the Senate this week. Unless Christians act, H.R. 1913 could be on President Obama’s desk within the next couple of weeks.

Co-written by openly homosexual congressman Barney Frank and co-sponsored by Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, the Hate Crimes Prevention Act is faulty and untruthful from its very foundation, citing in its “findings” section that “members of such groups are forced to move across state lines to escape the incidence or risk of such violence” and that they are “prevented from purchasing goods and services, obtaining or sustaining employment or participating in other commercial activity.” (more…)

Will Obama Abandon Israel?

By Star Parker – WorldNetDaily

Barack Obama’s obvious comfort level with leaders of unfree countries shouldn’t surprise anyone. He is not only our first black president. He is also our first president who doesn’t like the free country he was elected to lead and feels his job is to change it.

Obama’s cordial encounter with Venezuelan thug Hugo Chavez and his bow of deference in London to the Saudi Arabian king are extensions of behavior we have always seen on the black left. Jesse Jackson openly embraced Chavez, as well as having maintained relations with the likes of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi and Yasser Arafat.

This should be kept in mind as our president now makes his own effort to bring peace to the Middle East.

It should be clear to anyone conscious and watching that central to Obama’s Middle East strategy is to disabuse the long-held notion that there exists a “special relationship” between the United States and Israel. The sense of unique kinship between our country and the Jewish state has existed since Israel’s founding just 60 years ago. (more…)

Muslims And Christians In Kenya Argue Over Barack Obama’s Grandmother

By Nick Meo

Muslims have accused Christians of trying to convert Sarah Obama to Christianity.

Mrs Obama, a figure of substance in her homeland since her grandson was elected US President, was reported locally to have been stopped from going to a Seventh Day Adventist Church by Muslims because they thought the church would try to convert her.

However, members of the church said that she was not to be converted and was merely invited to attend an event.

“We had invited her to grace our meeting in Kisumu which was to mark the end of a three-week convention, but although she had prepared, she did not attend,” Lewis Ondiek, a senior church figure, told Ecumenical News International. (more…)

Sri Lanka: Protect Civilians In ‘Final’ Attack

Sri Lankan FlagDear Friends and Family in Christ around the World,

We would greatly appreciate your ongoing prayer and diplomatic action regarding a catastrophic crisis in Sri Lanka!

Rising Up Australia and the Nations as His Kingdom Comes,
Jason Golden

According to the independent media reports in the last two days, over 1480 people were killed, mostly women and children, and 2200 or more were injured. Medical facilities are not available within the so called safe zone in Mullaithivu. Some of the internet media carried videos and photographs of the humanitarian catastrophe.

Sri Lanka: Protect Civilians in ‘Final’ Attack

UN Security Council Should Initiate Commission of Inquiry

(New York, April 20, 2009) – An expected major attack following the Sri Lankan government’s “final warning” to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam underscores the need for heightened measures to minimize civilian casualties, Human Rights Watch said today. The continuing laws of war violations by both the Sri Lankan army and the LTTE indicate the need for a United Nations commission of inquiry to investigate war crimes by both sides, Human Rights Watch said.

Only If The British Stayed In Sri Lanka – It Could Have Been Another Australia

By Pr Danny Nalliah
President – Catch The Fire Ministries Inc.

Sri Lankan FlagDear Friends and Family in Christ around the World,

I have always wondered whether it was a big mistake Sri Lanka made when it got its independence from the British in 1948. Then known as Ceylon and very famous for its Ceylon Tea, the nation now called Sri Lanka has been in civil conflict for the past 50+ years.  Thank God for the British who set foot on Australia some 200 years ago and made it a wonderful land to live in! I am so happy that they did not leave Australia.  As a Sri Lankan born Aussie, I must say we should be so grateful  for our great Nation.

Tea Plantations of Sri LankaMy parents studied under the British administration in Sri Lanka in a season when all people studied in English, and spoke English as their first language. They never looked at each other as a particular race group but rather as fellow Ceylonese.

As soon as the British left in 1948,  corrupt power hungry Government officials divided the once united country, giving some groups more privileges than others, and leaving minorities in the country to languish. This sparked off ethnic tensions and communal violence, thus requiring Sinhalese to study in Sinhalese and Tamils to study in Tamil. This divided a once united community in Sri Lanka, and made it a Sinhalese-Buddhist nation. (more…)

Australia To Boycott UN Anti-Racism Conference

The Australian

AUSTRALIA will not take part in a controversial United Nations anti-racism conference in Geneva this week.

The Federal Government’s decision to boycott the Durban Review conference was prompted by the outcome of the original event in 2001, which was marred by claims of anti-Semitism…

Foreign Affairs Minister Stephen Smith said the Geneva meeting reaffirms the 2001 outcomes, singling out Israel and the Middle East.

“Regrettably, we cannot be confident that the review conference will not again be used as a platform to air offensive views, including anti-Semitic views,”… (more…)
