Fake Faith

We wear a mask when we say something but don't believe it.1/12/2014 Kim Martinez

“Fake it ’til you make it.” We’ve all heard those words. It’s great advice when you are in front of people, trying to make a good impression or learning a new skill.

When it comes to faith, faking it doesn’t help—it hurts.

Hebrews 11:6 says, “Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” You can see why people might fake faith; it is impossible to please God without it. So, just like kids trying to earn a treat, we try to be what we think God expects. When we fall on our face, the tendency is to hide it under the proverbial rug instead of openly admitting our lack.

What Does Faking Faith Look Like?
Imagine a relationship with someone you don’t quite trust. Do you tell them you don’t trust them? Not usually—you fake it when you are around them. You put on the smile and pretend that everything is fine. When we fake faith, we do the same thing to God.

About 10 years ago, we were in a difficult time financially. Every month, the bills would pile up. I was never sure where the funds were going to come from, so I faked it. I tried to walk in “faith,” proclaiming that God would provide, but inside I stressed like crazy.

General Immediate Media Release – 12th March 2014

During the 2013 Federal Election Campaign, ‘The Morning Show’ on Channel 7, in particular special guests James Thomas and Laura Sparks, mocked and made fun of the National President of Rise Up Australia Party, Daniel Nalliah, because he called for an end to the word ‘Multiculturalism’ and for it to be replaced with the word ‘Multi-Ethnic’, despite that fact that Mr Nalliah made it very clear that he was not against immigration in the shown footage from Sunrise.

Nevertheless, this did not prevent the un-informed James & Laura from calling him a ‘Crazy Lunatic’.

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.

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.”

John Kerry, Jihad Coddler

By Michelle MalkinJewish World Review Jan. 17, 2014/ 16 Shevat, 5774

The myth of the poor, oppressed jihadist never dies. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is the latest Obama administration official to peddle this odious narrative. Cue John Lennon’s cloying “Imagine,” don your plaid pajamas, and curl up with a warm cup of deadly naivete.

While meeting with Catholic Church officials at the Vatican in Rome on Monday, Kerry expounded on their “huge common interest in dealing with this issue of poverty, which in many cases is the root cause of terrorism or even the root cause of the disenfranchisement of millions of people on this planet.” In other words: If only every al-Qaida and Taliban recruit had a fraction of Kerry’s $200 million fortune, they’d all be frolicking peacefully with infidels on jet skis sporting “Coexist” bumper stickers.

This wasn’t a one-off. Kerry delivered a similar Kumbaya-style discourse at the Global Counterterrorism Forum last fall: “Getting this right isn’t just about taking terrorists off the street. It’s about providing more economic opportunities for marginalized youth at risk of recruitment.” Naturally, the Foggy Bottom apple doesn’t fall far from the Pennsylvania Avenue terror-excusing tree. President Obama subscribes to the very same “midnight basketball” theory of counterterrorism. In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, Obama asserted that jihad “grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair.”

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?

Al Jazeera host: Why can’t Hizballah, Syrian army be more humane, like Israel?

www.jihadwatch.org  Joshua Levitt for Algemeiner, January 17, 2014

This anchor will be looking for a job soon. “Al Jazeera Host Asks Why Can’t Arab Armies Be More Humane, Like Israel? (VIDEO),” by Joshua Levitt for Algemeiner, January 17, 2014.

An Al Jazeera Arabic anchor recently asked his audience why Arab armies, and, in particular, the regime of Bashar al-Assad, in Syria, can’t behave more humanely towards civilians, like the Israeli and French armies do?

In a clip uploaded to YouTube this week and flagged by Mideast Media Analyst Tom Gross, the anchor asks, “Why don’t they learn from the Israeli army which tries, through great efforts, to avoid shelling areas populated by civilians in Lebanon and Palestine? Didn’t Hezbollah take shelter in areas populated by civilians because it knows that Israeli Air Force doesn’t bomb those areas? Why doesn’t the Syrian army respect premises of universities, schools or inhabited neighborhoods? Why does it shell even the areas of its supporters?”

Russia retaliates: New report says EU’s promotion of homosexuality ignores real human rights issues

Russia retaliates New report says EU’s promotion of homosexuality ignores real human rights issuesby Hilary White, Rome Correspondent – Jan 16, 2014

MOSCOW, January 16, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Far from backing down on its national ban on homosexual propaganda, the Russian government is going on the offensive, saying the European Union’s promotion of homosexuality has led it to ignore real human rights violations, including the growth of ultra-nationalist and neo-Nazi groups.

Since the bill was signed into law, Russia has been the target of a massive international campaign, spearheaded by the European Union and homosexual campaigners at the EU, to overturn it.

A report on human rights to the EU by the Russian government, accuses the EU of “the dissemination of their neo-liberal values as a universal lifestyle for all other members of the international community.”

“This is particularly evident in their aggressive promotion of the sexual minorities’ rights,” the report said. “Attempts have been made to enforce on other countries an alien view of homosexuality and same-sex marriages as a norm of life and some kind of a natural social phenomenon that deserves support at the state level.” (more…)

Beheadings, Bombings and New York’s Little Bangladesh

Beheadings, Bombings and New York’s Little BangladeshJanuary 16, 2014 by Daniel Greenfield

Walk along Church Avenue and turn east onto McDonald Avenue and you will see where the old standards of working class Brooklyn, aging homes with faded American flags and loose siding, surly bars tucked into the shadows of street corners and the last video stores hanging on to a dying industry give way to mosques and grocery stores selling goat meat.

Mosques grow like mushrooms in basements, cell phone stores offer easy ways to wire money back to Bangladesh and old men glare at interlopers, especially if they are infidel women.

This is where Mohammed Siddiquee settled a dispute the old-fashioned way by beheading his landlord.

Mohammed wasn’t the first man in Brooklyn to use violence to settle a rental dispute, but beheadings are more traditional in his native Bangladesh than in Brooklyn, though over in neighboring Queens, Ashrafuzzaman Khan, Bangladesh’s most wanted war criminal, heads up the local Islamic Circle of North America, whose Islamist thugs beheaded poets and buried professors in mass graves.

Here in Kensington, where the alphabet streets that march across Brooklyn down to the ocean begin, the bars retreat along with the alphabet from those areas marked by the crescent and the angry glare. And there is another one like it at the other end of the alphabet where the Atlantic Ocean terminates the letters at Avenue Z bookending the Brooklyn alphabet with angry old men and phone cards for Bangladesh.

Pakistani government shows no sign of taking action over the Federal Shariah Court’s blasphemy law ruling

Sharia LawThursday, January 16, 2014 – By Dan Wooding – Founder of ASSIST Ministries

PAKISTAN (ANS) — Last month, the Federal Shariah Court (FSC) of Pakistan ordered that the death penalty be the “only punishment for a blasphemer”, and that life imprisonment be removed as an option.

“The Pakistani government has been given until next month to implement the order and time is running out if the decision is to be challenged,” Nasir Saeed, Director of CLAAS-UK (www.claas.org.uk), told the ASSIST News Service (www.assistnews.net).

He said that CLAAS [Centre for Legal Aid Assistance & Settlement] is concerned that if the order is followed, this law will become a Shariah law, causing many complications, and blasphemy cases will have to be heard in Shariah courts.

“The original order was made in 1990, but the government failed to implement the order and therefore 23 years later, once again the order is being reinforced,” Saeed went on to say.

Gendercide in Britain: UK missing 1,400-4,700 girls, report finds

Gendercide in Britain UK missing 1400-4700 girls report findsby Thaddeus Baklinski  Jan 16, 2014

LONDON, January 16, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Sex-selective abortion is so common a practice among minorities in Great Britain that the nation is “missing” an estimated 1,400-4,700 girls, according to a new report.

An analysis of census data by the UK’s The Independent newspaper found that a growing imbalance in the ratio of boys to girls in some ethnic minorities points to a rise in sex-selective abortions targeting girls in these groups.

The newspaper claims that the sex ratio in certain Asian populations in the UK is so skewed toward boys that it “can only easily be explained” by sex-selective abortions.

The Independent said it looked at 2011 census data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to investigate whether having a daughter as a first child raised the probability of a family’s second-born child being a boy.

“We found that the sex ratio of second-born children was heavily boy-biased in the families of mothers born in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and that there was some evidence of this being the case in families of mothers born in Bangladesh,” the investigators said.

How the lies of ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ continue to put the West in peril

Celebrated movie served as foundation for utterly false and baseless concepts leading to denial, destruction and death28 January 2014 – By Dr. Reuven Berko – Jewish World Review

Peter O’Toole, who was marvelous in “Lawrence of Arabia,” died recently. Many commentators and critics feel that Lawrence’s story and the movie about him influenced the actions of many European statesmen, politicians, and members of Western foreign ministries and security services. However, there is considerable argument as to whether and what, as a matter of historical fact, T. E. Lawrence contributed to the British war effort by collaborating with the Bedouin tribes of the Arabian Peninsula against the Ottoman Turks during the First World War. Not all historians agree to the truth of the glowing reports of his personality, moral stature and personal behavior.

Nevertheless, the enigmatic figure of Lawrence, an intelligence officer, became a role model for Western diplomats and statesmen, and he is revered as a master of mediating with the leaders of the Arab world. He seemed secretive and manipulative, with the rare ability and knowledge to exploit Arab ideology to achieve victory and foster the interests of the West, and to build inter-cultural cooperation and coexistence in a way that was both noble and romantic.
