Christ the Redeemer during sunrise in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, August 2, 2016.

As the 2016 Summer Olympics come to a close this weekend, viewers will have a few more opportunities to see aerial images of the massive representation of Jesus Christ that overlooks Rio de Janeiro. But how did the 98 feet tall, 635 metric ton Christ the Redeemer statue come about?

Here are five fascinating facts you should know about Brazil’s Cristo Redentor statue.

  1. It’s listed as one of the “new seven wonders of the world,” and its roots trace back to the 1850s.

Tony Abbott tells UK Tories he believes he can be PM again

October 5, 2016 – Sydney Morning Herald – Latika Bourke

Birmingham: Tony Abbott has told right-wing allies in Britain that he believes he has a reasonable chance of becoming prime minister again, Fairfax Media has learned.

The revelation confirms the former leader is hoping to emulate Kevin Rudd’s 2013 success in returning to the Lodge after being booted out by his own party, and despite Mr Abbott’s public assurances that his leadership is “dead, buried and cremated” and the “Abbott era is over”.

A senior Liberal source close to Mr Abbott said the former prime minister maintained a “good chance” of returning to the job because he is popular with the party membership compared to Malcolm Turnbull.

Gold is Good, but These Rio Olympians say God is #1

August 06, 2016

A glimpse of inspiration and testimony from some of Team USA’s Christian athletes.

There’s nothing like the pomp and prestige of the Olympics Games to raise the stakes for the world’s top athletes. With millions of viewers watching, more than 10,000 will compete in this year’s Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Fans tune in not only for the physical feats, but for stories of triumph. We want to see who achieves the dream of winning gold on a global stage. Competing at this level forces participants to reckon with priorities. Some Christian athletes enter with a perspective that explicitly challenges the idea that Olympic success would be the pinnacle of their lives. Some learn that lesson as they go.

Florida: Orlando jihad mass murderer’s father attends Hillary Clinton rally

August 9, 2016 – by Robert Spencer 

Considering the facts that Seddique Mateen has proclaimed that Allah would punish gays, as well as expressing support for the Taliban, his choice of a candidate is interesting.

“Hillary Clinton is good for United States versus Donald Trump, who has no solutions,” he says, when in reality Trump has one famous solution for jihad terrorism: a temporary moratorium on immigration from state with high rates of jihad terror activity.

A supporter of the Taliban, of course, would dislike a solution of that kind. It would interfere with his cherished goals.

Meanwhile, why didn’t the WPTV reporter ask him where his daughter-in-law is?

Does God still speak through dreams & visions? by Ps Daniel Nalliah / 3 nights of Holy Spirit Fire in Hallam – Come Expecting A Miracle

Dear family & friends in Christ,

In the past few weeks I have hardly slept at night as I have been waking up and spending 4-5 hours in travailing prayer for the lost souls.

My wife told me that I was making noises and then shouting, “RISE UP and the name of JESUS!”

Yes, she is right as I was battling principalities and powers of darkness in my dreams.

It was intense warfare for children and marriages, as many marriages are breaking up and children are the greatest victims.

I had several dreams. Let me share a  few.

  • I was taken into a court room where the judge was about to rule in favour of a divorce. The children of this family were crying. Then I entered and started travailing in prayer. Many people manifested with demonic spirits and were set free. The couple suddenly reconciled.
  • In another dream I was taken into a funeral service where people were crying.  As I entered the place, praying in tongues. The dead man rose up in the coffin. First the people were very confused, but then fell to the ground and gave their hearts to Jesus.

Alveda King Challenges Americans: “Vote for America’s Good, Not the Lesser of Two Evils”

Eugene Vigil/Alveda King (Aug 10, 2016)

“Let’s overlook personal personality preferences; vote for the candidate with the greater potential to deliver on the issues most closely aligned with our faith and what is good for America.” -Dr. Alveda King

This Presidential election, many are saying they will vote for the “lesser of two evils.” Won’t it be better to vote for “what’s good for America?” Voting on the issues trumps evil hearts and personalities.

A colleague writes:  “We hear the phrase: ‘lesser of two evils’ a lot … This year, we have witnessed much voting hand-wringing with many people of faith claiming that it is evil to ever vote for ‘the lesser of two evils’, or for any evil at all.

I have concluded that this lesser of two evils phrase is really a canard; a false picture of the electoral choice. Yes, we should never ever vote for evil; only for good.

Journalist investigating alleged ‘honor killing’ reports death threats

August 12, 2016  Christine Williams

A journalist in Pakistan, who has been investigating the death of Samia Shahid from Bradford, has made a formal complaint to police about receiving death threats from a man on a British mobile phone, who identified himself only as Ali.

Raja Waqar said he received five “disturbing phone calls” in which he was told that he and his children would be killed if he continued to pursue his investigation into Shahid’s murder.

Another example of jihadist intimation and thuggery — a journalist threatened from a British mobile number with death for reporting the truth about an honor killing. As cases of Islamic supremacism and barbaric practices expand on Western soil, inch by inch we collectively lose our civilized identity, as Westerners continue to yield to fear and political correctness.

“I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip.” Qur’an 8:12
