My comment: “They are at it again. Those who would destroy Israel make ready for war. It is another sign that Jesus is coming soon. They are surrounded by many enemies, but God will not leave his chosen ones. The covenant is everlasting. I believe there will be a war, and I think Israel will expand its territory. Only time will tell.”

I recently stumbled on THIS ARTICLE and found it very interesting. The article took me to ANOTHER ARTICLE that I found equally educational. Here is one quote from the latter:
“…we see new forms of ‘Christianity’ rising all around us — flexible, evolving models shaped to fit both the global quest for connectedness and the personal quest for ‘feel-good’ experiences. Naturally, the same process is also squeezing witchcraft, Buddhism, moderate (not militant) Islam, and even Satanism into its universal mold.”
When I joined a church a few years ago, I was asked about my favorite Bible verse. It changes from time to time. As a youth it was Matt. 6:33. The pastor read my verse to the church:
“…we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” Ephesians 6:10-12
I was going through a very trying ordeal at the time and felt that much of it had to do with the powers to which this verse refers. I can still remember the reaction to the verse as it was read. Maybe it was what I was going through, but I got a sense of “That’s his favorite verse?”
Thankfully, I don’t feel the principalities I thought I was sensing then. However, I believe the world is becoming a darker place every day.
And thankfully, I have read the last three chapters in the Bible.
Hope reigns.

“I’m so excited to find God of Wonders at YouTube! Just in case there are some of you who have not yet seen this great video (or have but would like a fresh reminder), make yourself a cool lemonade (or a hot cup of tea for those of you Down Under) and behold the precise, intricate, altogether lovely works of our powerful, awesome, magnificent Holy God, Creator and Redeemer, Jesus Christ our Lord!”
These are the words of Pearl of the former blog “Be Thus Minded.” Pearl went on to quote Psalm 19 in its entirety. Unfortunately, this documentary was removed when Pearl had her blog up. Fortunately, I found it back up on You Tube.
Pearl and I have very similar tastes. Three posts before she finished her blog she added “Who Am I,” an inspiring piece of music that was recently posted here.
I am thankful that I still have access to “Be Thus Minded” where I can find great stuff like God of Wonders.

Psalm 19
The heavens are telling of the glory of God;
And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
2 Day to day pours forth speech,
And night to night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words;
Their voice is not heard.
4 Their line has gone out through all the earth,
And their utterances to the end of the world.
In them He has placed a tent for the sun,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber;
It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.
6 Its rising is from one end of the heavens,
And its circuit to the other end of them;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
———————————————————-
How anyone can look at this picture and say that our world happened by chance is beyond me. Those who believe that an ungodly “Big Bang” occurred think I’m brainwashed. Well, I think there was a Godly “Big Bang;” God spoke and “Bang,” our universe was here. Those who believe otherwise are the ones who are brainwashed.

This evening the celebration of Yom Ha’atzmaut commences. The observation of the establishment of the modern state of Israel on May 14th, 1948 begins on the eve of April 15th (it is probably being remembered as I write this) and ends tomorrow night (the 16th).
What do people do on this holiday? You can read about some of the things they do here.
I would like to wish all of my Jewish friends a happy holiday. What happened in May of 1948 was a miracle. I know it is difficult for Israel to rejoice too much this year with enemies who wish to see their destruction surrounding them. As God has done in the past, He will protect the tiny little nation in the future.
Please pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
Shalom

This inspiring video was sent to me by my friend, Tonzie. What a comforting message!!! It’s nice to take a break from the bad things and ponder on the love and creation of our Great Creator God.
You must put this on full screen!

Relativism: a view that ethical truths depend on the individuals and groups holding them.
Wouldn’t you say that we live in a pretty relativistic world?

“This riveting TV advertisement, produced and directed by ARTL’s founding vice president Steve Curtis, demonstrates one of the great dangers of Plan B in that it even further destroys the boundary of protection that naturally surrounds women and young girls. Of course the greatest danger of the ‘Morning After Pill’ is that it is designed to kill a child, whether son or daughter.”
This quote may be seen here.
Many of you are aware that one judge made one ruling that may lead to the plan b pill being sold over the counter. It is a tragic sign of the times in which we live.

“But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men suddenly stood near them in dazzling clothing; and as the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living One among the dead? He is not here, but He has risen. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee, saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.” And they remembered His words, and returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. – Luke 24:1-9

THE INCREDIBLE, EDIBLE ‘190 MILLION-YEAR-OLD-EGG
May 18, 2013By Brian Thomas, M.S.
Yunnan Province, China holds some very special eggs, containing the tiny bones of unborn sauropod dinosaurs. Within the Lufeng Formation, a relatively thin bed of red sediment contains these fossil eggs, mixed and buried amidst other fossils. While perhaps providing new clues to the ways sauropod dinosaurs developed from embryos, they also bear distinct marks of very recent flooding.
First, the find’s context fits a watery cataclysm. Science NOW covered this story, describing the fossils as, “one nest after another destroyed by floods.”1 Of course, Noah’s year-long Flood strung together many disastrous tsunami-like flood events, each one covering a broad swath, sometimes blanketing areas the size of whole continents.
You may read the rest of the Article here.
My comment: “You’ll never see an article like this in the liberal news media, although I would have to give a publication like Science NOW credit for their integrity. If there is some discovery that seems to prove Darwinian evolution, it is printed regardless of how much evidence there is for it. Items like this, that reflect thousands, not millions, of years’ worth of aging, are out there, but one has to look for them. Darwinian evolution is being taught in every public institution in the nation. The brainwashing has gone on for quite some time now, and it is interesting to me that still only half of Americans believe we came from some primordial soup or were seeded here by aliens (Richard Dawkins considers this possibility here).
“‘In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.’
“That’s good enough for me. Any belief about origins ultimately comes down to faith.”
