TBN Launches in the United Kingdom

Charisma News – 1/5/2015 – Colby May

One of the most significant moments in the history of television broadcast is set for the new year across the United Kingdom. Trinity Broadcasting Network, the world’s largest religious television broadcaster, announced that on Jan. 5, 2015 it will launch its newest network, TBN UK, on Freeview, the U.K.’s free-to-air digital terrestrial television service that reaches 95 percent of the television households across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. 

TBN Vice President Matthew Crouch said that the launch of TBN UK represents one of the most significant commitments in the history of the 42-year-old global faith-and-family television group, bringing 24-hour Christian programming to a combined total of approximately 26 million U.K. homes. “While TBN has been available in the U.K. through cable and satellite,” he explained, “this will be the first time that over 65 million individuals across the British Isles will have access to a broad range of faith-and-family programming 24 hours a day.” 

Mr. Crouch said that the project began almost two years ago when his father, the late TBN founder Paul Crouch Sr., signed an initiative to establish a Christian network in the U.K. That move coincided with the construction of a major, state-of-the-art TBN London studio a stone’s throw from famed Wembley Stadium. “As a pioneer in Christian broadcasting my father was responsible for taking faith television to hundreds of millions of people on every inhabited continent,” said Mr. Crouch. “But this will be, by far, the biggest broadcast switch that TBN has ever thrown.” In fact,” he added, “the Launch of TBN UK on Freeview Channel 65 will represent one of the single largest increases of faith television coverage in history.”

UK: Teachers “scared to teach about Jesus” for fear of offending Muslims

November 29, 2014 – by Robert Spencer

This article speaks only of the fear of offending “those of other faiths,” but when Bolton starts talking about how Christianity must be taught so as to aid the integration of new immigrants, it is clear that he is talking about Muslims, as no one is worried about the low rate of “integration” of any other group.

So what we have here are British teachers readily discarding their own culture and heritage for a watery and content-free multiculturalism that will, in the end, only pave the way for the takeover of Britain by those who still have confidence in their own beliefs, traditions and culture. Those who are proud to be British and interested in exploring what that means are derided as “racists.” Britain, in short, is a spent force, and is doomed to a future of blood and chaos.

Fear of ‘offending’ different faiths means pupils are not being taught the true meaning of Christmas in schools, according to a BBC presenter.

Read Qur’an at Charles’ coronation: bishop

London – Prince Charles’s coronation service should open with a reading from the Qur’an, a senior Church of England bishop said on Friday.

The gesture would be a ‘creative act of accommodation’ to make Muslims feel ‘embraced’ by the nation, Lord Harries of Pentregarth, a leading CofE liberal thinker, said.

But critics attacked the idea, accusing the Church of ‘losing confidence’ in its own institutions and traditions.

Lord Harries, the former Bishop of Oxford who continues to serve as an assistant bishop in the diocese of Southwark, made the suggestion during a House of Lords debate. Speaking of a service in Bristol Cathedral last year which opened with a Qur’an reading, he said: ‘It was a brilliant creative act of accommodation that made the Muslim high sheriff feel, as she said, warmly embraced but did not alienate the core congregation.

‘That principle of hospitality can and should be reflected in many public ceremonies, including the next coronation service.’ In 1994 the Prince said he ‘always felt the Catholic subjects of the sovereign are equally as important as the Anglican ones, as the Protestant ones. Likewise, I think Islamic subjects, or the Hindu subjects, or the Zoroastrian subjects of the sovereign, are of equal and vital importance’. In 2006 he made it known that he wanted a multi-faith coronation.

Global Warming Treaty 20/12/2015 / Please read this very very important article from Ps Daniel

Dear family & friends in Christ,

The word of God states, “For a lack of knowledge, My people perish”.

We must stay vigilant and be on the attack, rather than be on the defensive. Much prayer and action is needed.

In December 2009, the Global Warming Treaty was all ready to be signed at the Global Warming Summit in Copenhagen. To the best of my understanding, once a country signs in they are bound under the UN One World Government agenda forever. In other words, there is no “Get out Clause” in it at all.

The then Labor Government was ready to sign the treaty, with Malcolm Turnbull, who was then the opposition leader, ready to do the same. This resulted in a leadership challenge in the Liberal Party on 01/12/2009, and Tony Abbott was elected as their leader with a vote of 42-41.

Tony Abbott took a stand against signing the Global Warming Treaty, so the Australian Parliament did not have the numbers to approve such a motion. Thus Australia and Canada, with Christian PM Steven Harper, did not sign the document.

In 2015 December there is going to be another Global Warming Summit and the climate change mob are doing everything they can to get Australia & Canada to sign in. The danger of doing this is that we as a sovereign nation, could lose our rights and come completely under the control of the UN One World Government agenda.

To the best of my understanding, Canada will have its elections this year and the global warming faction is doing everything it can to get the current PM, Steven Harper, out of office so that they can get Canada to sign the treaty. In Australia, because the next federal election is scheduled only for November 2016, the global warming mob wants to pre-emptively remove Tony Abbott our PM from office, and lodge Malcolm Turnbull as PM so that they can get Australia to sign the treaty as well.

Thank God that Tony Abbott survived the leadership spill!

Islam Is Neither a Religion Nor Peaceful

By Bethany Blankley , Christian Post Op-Ed Contributor – December 29, 2014

It’s misleading to call Islam a religion. While Islam, literally translated, means “submission” [to Allah—or death], it’s very much a political ideology.

The Qur’an, Hadith, and the Sunnah all clearly articulate Islam’s goal to implement worldwide totalitarian rule through implementing Shari’a Law.

This is why President Obama’s White House Homeland Security advisor Mohamed Elibiary (a Muslim Brotherhood member) asserts, “America is an Islamic country” with an “Islamic Compliant Constitution.” He views America within what will soon be a Muslim majority world.

This is why Obama’s close friend, Omar Ahmed, Chairman of the Board of CAIR (Council on America-Islamic Relations), says, “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Qur’an should be the highest authority in America.”

The political ideology of Islam is why many Islamists work in the Obama Administration. Two notables are Mohamed Magid, a member of the Department of Homeland Security Advisory Board (Magid is president of the Islamic Society of North America [ISNA, founded by the Muslim Brotherhood]), and Louay Safi, the Pentagon’s Muslim military chaplain (and ISNA’s Director of Leadership Development).

Urgent ongoing Prayer needed for our Nation Australia / Also encouraging video footage from Australia Day Prayer Gathering 2015 in Melbourne

Dear family and friends in Christ,

We as Australians need to thank God with all our hearts for the abundantly blessed nation He has given us to live in.

We are so very blessed to be so far away from the Middle East and the major trouble spots around the world where Islamism is spreading chaos, death & destruction.

However, our nation seems to be struggling to get good strong leaders into parliament and this is definitely beginning to become a problem in Australian Politics.

In the last few weeks, I heard it said on the news several times that “we lack good leadership”.

Political correctness has spread throughout society so much, that no longer do most people speak their hearts out, but they say what people like to hear.

Currently our Federal Government is on very shaky grounds with Malcolm Turnbull waiting for the first opportunity to take up the top job.

We must pray that Tony Abbott, the elected Prime Minister by the people, will remain until the next election, so that the people can make the choice and not a bunch of power hungry politicians in Canberra.

We definitely don’t want a repeat of Rudd and Gillard as the back stabbing virus seems to be spreading very fast in Canberra.

Whitewashing Islamic Terrorism from Sydney to Jerusalem

January 5, 2015 – by Charles Bybelezer – FrontPage Mag

Three days before Christmas, one unsuspecting holiday shopper was killed and nine others injured when a van ploughed through a crowded market in Nantes, located in western France. The attack came a day after a man, shouting “Allahu Akbar,” rammed his car into crowds in the eastern city of Dijon, injuring thirteen people; this, some twenty-four hours after an assailant stabbed and wounded three police officers in Joue-les-Tours, central France, likewise while yelling “God is the greatest” in Arabic.

A day after the Dijon attack, which the perpetrator dedicated to the children of “Palestine,” France’s Interior Minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, called on the public “to not draw hasty conclusions since…[the driver’s] motives have not been established.” Nevertheless, and despite the fact that “the investigation had barely begun,” Dijon’s public prosecutor, Marie-Christine Tarrare, made clear that the incident was “not a terrorist act at all.”

It took the third attack before French Prime Minister Manuel Valls came closest to accepting reality, conceding that, “there is, as you know, a terrorist threat to France.”

Leaving aside the virtually unreported incidents that same week of the drive-by-shootings in Paris targeting the David Ben Ichay Synagogue, the Al Haeche kosher restaurant and a Jewish-owned publishing house, only a Kafkaesque willful blindness could suggest that citizens being run down on the streets constituted a mere threat of terrorism rather than a terrorist problem of the first order.

General Allen: US must “defeat the idea” of the Islamic State

January 3, 2015 – by Robert Spencer – Jihad Watch

There is no indication that General Allen has any idea of what he is talking about. What “idea” does he propose to defeat? He probably means that he is going to destroy the idea that the Islamic State constitutes the new caliphate — which is no doubt one reason why the media establishment keeps churning out its endless stream of disingenuous and deceptive “ISIS is not Islamic” articles. But he is part of an Administration that has prohibited examination of the jihadis’ belief system; that is going to hamstring his efforts to combat it.

“Obama Envoy John Allen: No ‘Short-Term Solutions’ for Stopping Islamic State,” by Matthias Gebauer and Holger Stark, Spiegel, December 31, 2014:

In an interview, US General John Allen, Washington’s special envoy for countering the Islamic State, discusses why he believes the recent military campaign has reversed the terrorist group’s momentum but warns the battle to stop its ideology could take years.

General John Allen, 61, has served as special presidential envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter the Islamic State (IS) under US President Barack Obama since September. He previously served for three years as the deputy commander of the US forces in Afghanistan and Iraq.

It’s Urgent That We Stand FIRM With Israel

1/23/2015 Steve Strang or Charisma Magazine

Every once in a while something comes along that is so important it rises above many other things that are clamoring for our attention. Two weeks from now in Colorado, a new organization will be formed uniting Christian ministries who love and support Israel.

It is called the Fellowship of Israel Related Ministries (FIRM). They are holding their Israel Summit from Feb. 4-6 at Resurrection Fellowship Church in Loveland, Colorado.

There are many organizations that support Israel, and most have different functions. Some are more focused on lobbying and working with the Jewish community and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

I believe that it is time for Christian ministries to join together to support Israel, even embracing those believers who come from a Jewish background who are often excluded from participation in other pro-Israel organizations.

You know that I have been a big supporter of Israel. I have donated my time and resources helping to do what I could. Now I am throwing my weight behind Wayne Hilsden, the visionary and founder of FIRM. He is the pastor of King of Kings Community Jerusalem in the heart of the Israeli capital.

One Hundred Years of Jihad in Australia

by Mark Durie –  Markdurie.com – January 1, 2015

One hundred years ago today, a lethal jihad attack was staged against New Year’s Day picnickers in Broken Hill, Australia. This attack and the recent Martin Place siege, events separated by almost exactly a century, show striking similarities.

For Australians, the anxious question about the Martin Place attack, which has grabbed the attention of everyone, is whether this atrocity is but a harbinger of a further series of deadly attacks on Australian soil, or whether it will pass into memory as an exceptional one-off event, much as the 1915 New Year’s Day massacre in Broken Hill did.

The Broken Hill Massacre

On New Year’s Day, 1915, two Muslim men, Bashda Mahommed Gool and Mullah Abdullah, shot and killed four people and wounded several others before finally being killed by police. They had both come to Australia more than a decade previously.

Beginning in 1860, many Muslim cameleers came to Australia to help open up the arid outback. Today a famous train from Adelaide to Darwin is known as “The Ghan” to commemorate the contribution of the “Afghans” – as they were known (although they came from many different places across the Middle East and South Asia) – to the development of Australia.

The jihad attack was staged against a picnic train which was taking 1200 picnickers out on a New Year’s Day in open ore trucks. Bashda Mahommed Gool and Mullah Abdullah first made enquiries at the station beforehand to make sure they would be in the right place at the right time to attack this particular train. They then positioned themselves on the side of a hill around 30 meters from the tracks, and opened fire as the trucks passed. Among the victims was Alma Cowie, aged 17, shot dead.

NYC Pastor William Devlin Travels to Iraq, Says the ‘American Church Is Addicted to Personal Peace, Comfort, and Affluence’

December 21, 201Pastor William Devlin of Infinity Bible Church in the Bronx borough of New York City, stands with Pastor Hanna Massad in Gaza in this photo shared Sept. 13, 2014, on Facebook.4 – The Christian Post – Nicola Menzie

Pastor William Devlin of Infinity Bible Church in the Bronx borough of New York City, stands with Pastor Hanna Massad in Gaza in this photo shared Sept. 13, 2014, on Facebook.

A New York City pastor traveling with a U.S. Yazidi leader to offer humanitarian assistance to religious minorities targeted by the Islamic State in Iraq believes Christians in America should do more to encourage believers living in some of the world’s most persecuted countries.

The Rev. William Devlin, co-pastor of Infinity Bible Church in the Bronx borough of New York City and a former politician, is as much of an activist as he is a missionary. When the City of New York banned churches and other religious groups in 2011 from renting public schools for worship gatherings, Devlin embarked on a 42-day fast, was arrested in an act of civil disobedience, and publicly confronted then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg during an interfaith breakfast about the city’s decision (which the current mayor has vowed to reverse).

As of late, the 61-year-old evangelical leader has been focused on reaching out to Christians living in persecuted or difficult countries, such as Sudan, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Syria, Iran, and Cuba. Devlin was featured in The Christian Post this past summer after visiting with Sudanese Christian Meriam Ibrahim who had been imprisoned for alleged apostasy.

Salvations & Deliverance as Holy Spirit Fire falls at Australia Day Prayer & Revival meetings with Ps Donnie Swaggart

Dear family & friends in Christ,

What a wonderful weekend it was to see God’s manifest presence at every single meeting and then on Australia Day at the prayer meeting.

Hundreds packed the CTFM auditorium over the weekend to hear the Word of God, with people travelling all the way from Perth, Darwin, Sydney and other places around Australia to soak in the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

Ps Donnie preached the Word of God with power and authority as many received a mighty touch from Heaven.

All glory to God for several people who gave their hearts to Jesus during the revival meetings, including a media journalist who was present. Many others were baptised in the Holy Spirit and prayed in tongues for the very first time, as some others received deliverance as Ps Daniel laid hands and prayed for them.

At the Australia Day United Prayer Service, Church leaders from Baptist, Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian, Salvation Army, Messianic Jewish, CRC and other Pentecostal denominations led in prayer for Government, Armed Forces & Emergency services, Youth & Families, Business & Marketplace, Israel, Indigenous people etc.

The worship was absolutely awesome, as the Holy Spirit moved most powerfully.

Many were in tears when we sang ‘The Great South Land of the Holy Spirit’.

White Libs and the New Racism

Jewish World Review – By Bernard Goldberg – December 29, 2014

I attended a forum the other night at a liberal synagogue about “the tragic trend of police shootings of unarmed black men.” Let’s set aside that there is no “trend” and that the “unarmed” black men were also resisting arrest, and in the case of Michael Brown was trying to take the gun away from the police officer who felt he had to shoot him in order to save his own life.

I’m pretty sure at least 99 percent of everyone in the room —not counting me and the 3 co-conspirators I dragged along — were committed liberals who were convinced that the biggest problem plaguing black America is white cops who hate black people and shoot them if they so much as look at the cop funny.

No, they didn’t say so in just that way, but that was certainly the gist of what was said that night.

During the opening remarks, we heard from the panelists — a black activist who didn’t want anyone to be called a “criminal,” and opposed prisons on principle; a member of the ACLU who thought that America was “further away from equality” today than in 1965 when he marched from Selma to Montgomery; a cop who said he believed Michael Brown was trying to take away Officer Darren Wilson’s gun only to “humiliate him,” presumably with no intention of shooting the cop; and a judge who for the most part simply explained how grand juries operate, though she tiptoed into liberal terrain too.
