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…)

Ministers Ordered To Fight For Freedom, Against Criminalization Of Christianity

By Chelsea Schilling

Pastor Paul BlairAmerica has become a morally bankrupt society that embraces intolerance against Christians, including a new push for “hate crimes” legislation, according to one pastor who believes it’s all because church leaders have failed to do their jobs.
But this Memorial Day weekend he is calling ministers to fight for those freedoms – from their pulpits.
 
“Pastors, if you wonder who is to blame for America’s slide from the ‘Ozzie and Harriet’ morality of yesteryear to the ‘Brokeback Mountain’ immorality of today, look in the mirror,” said Pastor Paul Blair of Fairview Baptist Church in Edmond, Okla.
 
Blair is founder of a group called Reclaiming Oklahoma for Christ, an outreach to pastors that encourages church leaders  to take a stand against the spread of immorality in American culture. He is urging pastors across the nation to stop being silent and muster the courage to speak out against efforts to criminalize Christianity. He said church leaders have abandoned the prophetic call and have chosen instead to be CEOs of competitive church businesses rather than proclaiming “faith in Christ alone and repentance from sin.” (more…)

Two Important Points To Consider

Dear family & friends in Christ,

Following are 2 very interesting articles from Bill Muehlenberg of Culture Watch. We certainly better wake up Pray and Act.

Dear friends

One. The persecution of Christianity is hotting up, big time. Now even home Bible studies are being shut down: http://www.billmuehlenberg.com/2009/05/24/christian-persecution-on-the-rise/

Two. Parachurch groups like Focus on the Family, Teen Challenge, Prison fellowship and CultureWatch may all be declared to be illegal real soon in Australia. See the frightening proof of this here: http://www.billmuehlenberg.com/2009/05/25/silencing-parachurch-ministries-and-other-christian-activities/ (more…)

Black Ministers Arrested On National Day Of Prayer

By Adrienne S. Gaines News

WhitehouseAlthough President Obama did not host a National Day of Prayer observance, two African-American ministers prayed outside the White House today, even though it led to their arrest.
The Rev. Johnny Hunter and the Rev. Stephen Broden, both longtime pro-life activists, were taken into custody briefly after holding a “prayer picket” outside the White House to publicly oppose the president’s decision not to participate in the National Day of Prayer (NDOP). They were released after just a few hours.

“[It’s] the National Day of Prayer, and the president refuses to participate in it?” said Hunter, who leads the Life Education and Resource Networks (LEARN) in Fayetteville, N.C. “Before at least presidents were nice enough to open their doors and let some Christians come in and pray. … Not this one. So since he wouldn’t do it, we took the prayer to him.”

The ministers said they knew they were risking arrest but held signs saying: “Jesus Christ Is Our Lord and Savior. BHO is not” to protest what they see as a dangerous trend toward broader abortion access and acceptance of homosexuality that has occurred under the Obama administration. (more…)

Businessman-Turned- Evangelist Believes Revival Is Coming To U.S.

By Adrienne S. Gaines News

David Turner & Harry GomesMay 14, 2009 — David Turner has seen the deaf receive their hearing and the blind gain their sight at crusades across India, Mexico and Malaysia. But the Phoenix-based businessman-turned evangelist believes a revival of miracles will soon hit the U.S.

“I believe God is about to do an explosion in America,” said Turner, who has seen thousands healed during large-scale crusades he led in India with evangelist Harry Gomes (pictured, left). “We will start seeing [healings and miracles] even with stadiums of people.”

Turner is expecting the miracles to begin this week, when he hosts the Harvest America Healing Explosion at the 14,000-seat Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix. More than 120 churches across the city will participate in the three-day event, which begins Friday and includes a food giveaway for needy families.

Turner expects at least 20,000 people to participate during the three days. He believes hundreds will be saved, plugged into a church and healed. (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…)

You May Not Like It, But It’s The Truth.

By Jerry Golden – www.thegoldenreport.com

Israeli FlagAs Israel prepares for what could be an attack or a counter attack from Iran, one thing remains  certain, we here in Israel are certainly preparing for war.  With constant preparations of our missile defense systems the Arrow anti-missile, the THAAD and something I believe to be new for Israel the AEGIS.  The IDF, IAF and Reserves are training every week now for different types of seniors.  It is now known that Iran has the capabilities of sending split warheads, and a large barrage of missiles at one time.  With the new radar bases set up in Israel it is possible to have several minutes of warning after Iran launches the first missile. 

What I am about to say may come as a surprise to most reading this.  It is my belief that Iran is not all that ready to attack Israel, for they know it would be committing suicide for the majority of its people.  That does not mean that Israel isn’t on their agenda simply because from child hood Arabs are taught to hate and to kill Jews.  But what Iran is most interested in at this point is total control of the Persian Gulf, Israel isn’t in there way for taking  control, but the US Navy is.  As Iran keeps all the attention on the possibility of  wiping Israel off the map, (not likely) instead of what they are really planning  and that is a massive attack on the USA.  It has been reported in the past that they have been working on the capability to launch Ballistic Missiles off of commercial cargo ships that will be in range  of the US coast lines with no problem giving them the ability to reach any US city almost at will.  Even though it is never spoken of, there are few who don’t believe Iran has already purchased nuclear warheads for many of their missiles, and we are suppose to believe they can only obtain them by making their own. Then it is no secret that sleepers cells have been put into place across the US as well and waiting on the orders to go into action.  In the mean time all eyes are on the ancient war between Ishmael and Isaac and to be certain that war does exist and will continue to go forward until the Prince of Peace returns.  (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…)

Hispanic Christians Rally Against Gay Marriage in New York

By Adrienne S. Gaines

Sen. Rubén Díaz Hispanic pastors in New York are mobilizing to oppose a gay marriage bill that passed in the state Assembly Tuesday night.

Led by Democratic New York state Sen. Rubén Díaz (pictured), a Pentecostal pastor in the Bronx, tens of thousands of Christians are expected to gather outside Gov. David Patterson’s Manhattan offices on Sunday afternoon to protest his moves to bring same-sex marriage to the state.

Díaz, who is ordained through the Church of God (Cleveland, Tenn.), said Patterson disrespected the Catholic, Jewish and evangelical communities by introducing the gay marriage bill April 16, just days after Easter and Passover week.

“I’m telling the governor he’s being disrespectful,” said Díaz, pastor of Christian Community Neighborhood Church in the Bronx. “On Sunday, it is a good possibility that someone in the rally will ask him to resign.”

A similar gay marriage bill passed in the state Assembly in 2007 but failed in the Senate. Díaz said that the Assembly’s 89-52 vote Tuesday night was no major victory because the Senate lacks the 32 votes needed to pass the measure, even though there are 32 Democratic senators. (more…)
