A CHRISTIAN VIEW ON VACCINES
As Christians, we need to take a big picture look at vaccines. The
Bible tells us that blood is sacred. If we believe this to be true then
why do we so quickly inject our new born babies with ingredients that
most new parents know nothing about. The Hepatitis B vaccine is
totally unnecessary for our children. The only way they get this
disease is through dirty needles from drug use and sexual contact.
Neither of which apply to the child. Would it surprise you to know
that some vaccines are created on the tissue of aborted babies? It’s
true.

Activist Post: 17 Facts To Show To Anyone Who Believes That The U.S. Economy Is Just Fine #news
COMPARING THE BOOK TO THE BIBLE
Heaven Is For Real is the story of little Colton Burpo who came down with stomach pains and a high fever. His appendix has burst and he goes in for emergency surgery. While on the operating table, little Colton has a vision where he is taken to Heaven and “meets Jesus”. When he awakes he tells that story, as well as conversations he says he heard while being operated on. His father declares this to be “a miracle”, and the book was written. Here now are the major claims of the book compared to the bible. Please read and decide for yourself.

Why Say No to an Unnecessary Root Canal Procedure
My dentist tried very hard to talk me into a root canal a while back. Fortunately, I remembered what I had read about the procedure and refused it. But dentists can be very aggressive when pushing root canals. Read this and watch the video so you're prepared if you ever have the procedure suggested to you.

POSITIVE WORDS ARE LIFE-GIVING, LIFE-CHANGING
"Anxious hearts are very heavy, but a word of encouragement does wonders." -The Bible
Today I'm sending a universal letter of encouragement because I think that people spend way too much time criticizing and way too little time encouraging the people around them.
I watched a movie last night on Netflix titled The Letter Writer. It was about an old man named Sam who lived in a nursing home and wrote encouraging letters. He then chose names and addresses out of the phone book to send them to. Sometimes he would write cards and then hand them out to people as he walked around. If he got the feeling that you needed encouragement when you walked past him, you got a card.
One of his encouraging letters was sent to a troubled teenage girl and it changed her life. Although he didn't know her, Sam's words touched Maggie's heart because they were positive words. When all she heard was criticism from the people who claimed to love her, Maggie read the words in Sam's letter with heartfelt joy. Finally someone was telling her that she was worth something and that she had a bright future.
I couldn't get through this movie without crying. The lesson in it is something we all need to be reminded of. There is great power in encouragement. Positive words can be life-changing. Do you speak words that motivate, compliment, and uplift, or are you more likely to dwell on the negative and voice criticism? Would it hurt to notice the good things about people and tell them?
Sam knew the power of speaking life-building words. He sent encouragement out into the world everyday. And his words changed people for the better. If everyone worked that hard at building people up, we would live in a different kind of society.
Sometimes we do need to point out the negative ruts that we get into. We do need to point out wrong attitudes so they can be corrected. We can't always be focusing on good things because bad attitudes do exist. But when our lives are over, our biggest regrets will be the positive words we didn't say. No one ever regrets on their death bed that they didn't pound someone harder with criticism.
If I would ask you, who do you know that needs encouragement, someone will immediately come to mind. What can you do today to bring encouragement to a heavy heart?

Always Learning: A Huge Loss To Society
I'm not against women working outside the home when they must do it to survive. But sometimes women choose a grand lifestyle that requires two incomes and that's why they have to work. Then they look down on homemakers who don't take vacations, live in smaller homes, drive used cars, clip coupons, cook from scratch, wear second-hand clothes and make many sacrifices to be at home with their children. We should be supportive of any woman's decision to put her husband and children ahead of making money. Stay-at-home moms and homemakers should be admired not criticized. That's what I'm against--the criticism they receive and the way they are demeaned in today's culture. The article below says it beautifully.

ONE OF MANY CANCER CURES THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT
"Successfully treating cancer patients with a natural substance would
mean the loss of billions of dollars every year for Big Pharma, who
still advocate the use of toxic chemotherapy drugs against cancer. The
only way to prevent this is for the large pharmaceutical companies to
pressure the FDA to ban any natural medicines that have the potential to
replace expensive cancer therapies."

HOW MEGA BANKS DESTROYED AMERICA
The newly released story on Salon is called “We are in great danger: Ex-banker details how mega-banks destroyed America” and it’s a story that should not be overlooked considering the source is ex-Goldman Sachs employee Nomi Prins who also worked for Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Chase Manhattan Bank. Prins also warns in the brand new video below with Greg Hunter that the financial collapse ALREADY should have happened…and the hours until it does are passing quickly…
“It no longer matters who sits in the White House,” former Goldman Sachs managing director Prins writes in her new book “All the Presidents’ Bankers: The Hidden Alliances That Drive American Power.” “Presidents no longer even try to garner banker support for population-friendly policies, and bankers operate oblivious to the needs of national economies. There is no counterbalance to their power.”Watch video at link below:

MONEY FROM NOTHING AND DEINDUSTRY KILLING AMERICA
"The trade deficit is one of the biggest reasons for the steady decline of the U.S. economy, but many Americans don't even understand what it is. Basically, we are buying far more stuff from the rest of the world than they are buying from us. That means that far more money is constantly leaving the country than is coming into the country. In order to keep the game going, we have to go to the people that we bought all of that stuff from and ask them to lend our money back to us. Or lately, we just have the Federal Reserve create new money out of thin air. This is called "quantitative easing". Our current debt-fueled lifestyle is dependent on this cycle continuing. In order to live like we do, we must consume far more wealth than we produce. If someday we are forced to only live on the wealth that we create, it will require a massive adjustment in our standard of living. We have become great at consuming wealth but not so great at creating it. But as a result of running gigantic trade deficits year after year, we have lost tens of thousands of businesses, millions upon millions of jobs, and America is being deindustrialized at a staggering pace."

Heavenly signs suddenly grab attention (Watch trailer)
The Blood Moons will appear this month. The Bible tells us that there will be signs in the Heavens in the last days.
“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken” (Luke 21:25-26).

SPIRITUAL WARFARE IS A REAL PROBLEM THAT AFFECTS US TODAY (WATCH VIDEO)
Read 2 Corinthians 10:3-6
The Bible warns us that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood. Our battle is not against people but against spiritual wickedness. The Bible contains detailed accounts of spiritual attacks on people. The Bible gives details about how Jesus cast out demons that had taken possession of people's minds and bodies. What makes us think that we don't have to worry about such things today?
Some Christians will roll their eyes when they hear about spiritual warfare as if it is some kind of taboo subject they don't believe in. Yet the Bible speaks about spiritual warfare and warns us about it. We often don't realize when we are being spiritually attacked. We often don't know how to fight it. But we should learn.

The Best Advice I Never Got When I Needed It Most
For scripture to back this up, Read Psalm 37
Proverbs 3
and John 15: 7& 8
Proverbs 3
and John 15: 7& 8
I'm going to show you a list. As you
read the list, guess what these things have in
common:
Talking disrespectfully to parents
and others
getting drunk
swearing
having sex outside of marriage
lying
being angry, resentful or
unforgiving
stealing or cheating
I could go on with the list, but I
think you already know what they have in common. They are a list of
things people do that God does not approve of. You will find in the
Bible many verses that warn of the consequences we face when making
the decisions above.
In my early twenties, I was guilty
of doing three of the above listed offenses on a regular basis. And I
have often said that my early twenties were the worst years of my
life. I believe there's a reason for this. You see, there's a simple
principle to life that many people ignore. And it is this: Our
actions and behavior affect our happiness and the things that happen
to us.
In my early twenties I was pretty
miserable. I wish someone would have told me that my misery was
self-inflicted. The choices I made and the way I was behaving were
the reason for my misery. If I had chosen to live according to God's
rules, my life would have been completely different. I would have
been blessed by God instead of cursed.
You may think cursed is a harsh
word, but that's exactly how I felt in my early twenties. Nothing
good happened to me. I was always struggling financially. I felt
lonely. Nothing came easily to me. Everything was a constant
struggle. I wasn't living a godly life, so I didn't have God's help,
guidance, or blessings.
It's been about thirty years since I
was in my early twenties, living life on my own terms and not caring
about God or why he created me. Not caring about living the way God
wanted me to live. Not caring about how I treated people. Thinking
only of myself and doing whatever I wanted to do. Everyone else saw
how messed up I was back then, but I didn't see it until many years
later.
It wasn't until I started living
right that I realized how rich and rewarding life can be. I still
have struggles, but I'm not lonely anymore. Good things happen to me
all the time. Wonderful blessings fall in my lap unexpectedly. God
has blessed me with work that I enjoy. He's given me financial
stability, although I'm far from rich. My emotions aren't up and down
anymore, I have peace. I'm dealing with a body that's getting older,
but I wouldn't go back to 23 and all its misery for anything.
Sometimes you just want to shake
people and say, “The reason your life is a mess is because God has
turned you over to yourself. He's not helping you. You rejected Him
over and over again and now you are living without His blessings,
without His guidance, and without the love and joy He wants to bring
you.”
I wish someone would have shaken me in my early twenties. Maybe someone wanted to shake me, but they were afraid I might hate them. They didn't have the courage to risk my resentment for the greater good of saving me from my miserable self. What could someone have said to me that might have changed my life? What words could have motivated me to change? Perhaps these words:
"There's no better way to prove that
God exists than to give Him a chance to show you the changed life you
will have when you begin to live on His terms. Stop swearing. Stop
getting drunk. Stop having sex outside of marriage. Stop lying and
cheating. Stop saying and doing mean things to people and start
loving them. Forgive those who have hurt you, so you can be free of
the hatred you feel. So you don't walk around sounding like an angry,
miserable grouch...
Our lives on this earth pass by
quickly. Some day, maybe sooner than you think, you will discover what
lies beyond the grave. I can't prove that God exists. I can only tell
you the difference He's made in my life. And that's more evidence
than you can give me to deny His existence. Whether you believe in
God or not, His existence is already determined. He won't go away
because you don't believe...
Why people don't have more fear of
God is a mystery to me. Why they choose to make the same mistakes
over and over without learning from them is something that baffles
me. When are you going to learn that your life is a mess because you
reject God and you are doing and saying things that may please you, but it
doesn't please Him. That is why you suffer. That is why unhappiness and depression follow you everywhere."
These are the words that I wish
someone would have told me in my early twenties. I can only wonder
about the difference that advice might have made. Life is not about me. Life is about pleasing God, and there is great reward in making that one decision. But you will never experience the rewards until you get close to God and live the way He wants you to live.

THE LAND MOURNS... the bible comes to life
"There is no faithfulness, no love, no acknowledgment of God in the land. There is only cursing, lying and murder, stealing and adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed. Because of this the land mourns, and all who live in it waste away; the beasts of the field and the birds of the air and the fish of the sea are dying. [Hosea 4:1-3]

THE HOPE THAT MAKES CHRISTIANS UNCOMFORTABLE
THE BLESSED HOPE ELUDES MANY CHRISTIANS
By Danelle Carvell
One of the most controversial subjects
among Christians is the rapture of the church. Christians seem
confused and frightened by this subject. And some pastors don't teach
the whole counsel of God's word, which would help relieve the fear
and confusion. False teachings, weak sermons, and Christians who
ignore the truth contribute to the confusion (2 Timothy 4:1-5).
The
rapture is an event which was prophesied by the Apostle Paul. He gave
a clear description of it in his letters to the Thessalonians and
Corinthians. According to scripture, at some future time, believers
will be snatched from the Earth in a fraction of a second and
transported to Heaven. This event is controversial because
some Christians don't believe in the rapture of the church. And many
who do believe are not looking forward to what the Bible calls our
“blessed hope” (Titus 2:13).
I discussed the rapture with two women
who attend church regularly, and I expected both of them to be
receptive to the topic, but they were not. The first woman said the
rapture is “science fiction” and the second woman argued that we
can't take the Bible literally because her pastor said we can't. And
since he doesn't believe in the rapture, neither does she.
Those women should read God's word
instead of only trusting the church pastor. “All scripture is given
by inspiration of God...” (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Why would God
inspire the writing of a book that we can't take literally?
Christians who don't believe in the rapture don't know the Bible:
John 14: 1-3
This passage
contains the promise from Jesus that He will return to Earth for the
believers and take them to Heaven.
1 Thess 4: 13-18
In this passage,
the apostle Paul answers the question, “Do believers who have died
miss out on the rapture?”
1 Thess 4: 16-18
In
this passage, Paul spells out the chronological sequence of the
rapture event and he concludes that the promise of the rapture should
be a comfort
to us.
We are supposed to
find comfort in this promised event, yet many Christians are far from
comfortable when discussing the rapture. You can almost see them
squirm in their seats as they try to change the subject. “That's
not a popular topic,”they argue. Christians who convey such an
attitude about our blessed hope are a mystery to me.
Haven't they read
2 Timothy 9:7-8? Don't they know that the crown of righteousness
awaits all who long for the Lord's soon return?
Haven't they read
Luke 21:34-36, which instructs us to pray always that we may be
accounted worthy to escape?
What exactly are
we escaping from when the church is raptured? The same thing that
Noah and Lot escaped from when God rescued them from an evil world
that grew more and more evil. We learn from the accounts of Noah and
Lot that God removes His people when danger is involved.
We live in a
dangerous world. Nothing about planet earth is getting better. The
danger only grows worse. More and more people are carrying guns to
protect themselves from lawless thugs like those who are killing and
injuring people on the streets as part of a game called the knockout
game. Our society has sunk so low that people are now punching total
strangers and catching it on camera for entertainment.
Our language is
growing worse, our morals are declining, the rules of modesty and
respect have vanished. Those who know what's really going on in the
world and those who know God's word realize that we are living in a
time that is similar to the days of Noah and Lot.
In Matthew 24,
Jesus is asked, “What shall be the signs of your coming and of the
end of the world?” Jesus then describes what the world will be like
just before He returns to remove (rapture) those who have received
Him as their savior. What Jesus describes in Matthew 24 is the same
mess that describes our present world.
Have you noticed the increase in the
number and severity of earthquakes? The bizarre animal deaths and
sinkholes? Record-setting storms? Destructive tornadoes and tsunamis?
The volcanoes all over the world that have lain dormant for centuries
that are now erupting? Does the obvious decline of morality in people
alarm you at all. Do you worry what this world will be like for your
children?
At this point we are handing our
children a 17 trillion dollar national debt that will be impossible
to pay back. Millions of people have lost their health insurance
under Obamacare. For others, their rates have quadrupled. Thousands
of doctors are giving up their practices because they can't maintain
their businesses under Obamacare. Thousands of volunteer fire
departments face closure or financial hardship because Obamacare
requires that volunteers be given full health coverage. And when 12
million illegal aliens become American citizens with a flick of
Obama's pen, the fallout will be devastating.
Did you watch the House hearings that
looked at Obama's growing dictatorial powers? Our own government
leaders know we have a dictator in the White House, but the American
people don't care. Obama is caught in one scandal after another and
we yawn. Fast and Furious, Benghazi, and the scandals with the IRS,
the Department of Justice and the NSA haven't woken anyone from their
slumber. We swallowed the lie “If you like your health insurance,
you can keep it.” Chalk that up as scandal number six.
The birth certificate scandal counts as
seven. Obama claims he was born in Hawaii, but his wife has said that
Kenya is his homeland. No one holds Obama accountable. Like Hitler,
he does what he wants and no one questions him. So why is it so hard
to believe that his Affordable Care Act allows for death panels to
decide who gets healthcare and who doesn't?
Possibly bigger and more dangerous than
Obamacare is the the Trans-Pacific Partnership. This brilliant idea
will offer huge advantages to foreign businesses while putting
American companies, especially small businesses at a disadvantage so
severe that many won't be able to survive. This could pass early next
year and it's an all-out assault on our national sovereignty as it
unconstitutionally transfers legislative powers. One more crippling
blow to America.
Obama has appointed hard core sharia
law Muslims to key positions in Washington. If he condones the
cruelty of sharia law and if he voted to deny care for babies who
survive abortions, then what cruelty awaits the American people? He
refuses to put his hand over his heart and say the pledge of
allegiance. He refuses to wear an American flag pin. His actions
display a hatred for America and we give him four more years.
This country is being destroyed by a
dictator who glorifies Muslims but claims to be a Christian. He mocks
the God of the Bible by his love for Islam. Muslims believe that
anyone who doesn't worship Allah is an infidel who should be killed.
Why are Christians who hold home Bible
studies being harassed? Everything related to Jesus Christ, the Holy
Bible and the God who inspired it is being pushed out of sight and
mind. Why do 100 million Christians face persecution every day? Why
can't Phil Robertson quote scripture from the Holy Bible without
being suspended from his show on A&E. This country has declared
war on Christianity and in the process has denied Christians their
constitutional right of free speech.
Why are we seeing a repression of
Christian faith in the military? Freedom of religion is no longer one
of the rights our soldiers are allowed to defend. The US Department
of Defense has recently begun teaching seminars that list evangelical
Christians and Catholics as subversive groups. US troops who express
their Christian faith are being punished. Don't believe me? Take
four minutes to watch “A Clear and Present Danger” on You Tube
We live in a totalitarian police state
that monitors our every move. Cameras are watching us. Our phone
conversations are recorded. A recent article in the Washington Post
claims that the NSA is gathering nearly 5 billion records a day on
the whereabouts of cell phones around the world, enabling Big Brother
to track your daily movement and map your relationships with others.
You may think you have nothing to hide, but if Christians can be
labeled as subversive, who's next?
Our education system is being destroyed
by progressives who push their Common Core Curriculum. “Five
Reasons the Common Core is Destroying Childhood” by Katie Hurley
explains why. Or go to theblaze.com to view a complimentary clip
titled, “David Barton Explains How Common Core Poses Serious
Problems for The Future of The Republic.”
If these things continue to worsen,
won't we be crying out to escape? Yet some Christians reading this
might say I'm a doom and gloomer. They have no hope in anything
beyond their lives on this earth. They don't know God's word and they
don't want to hear anything that might disrupt their love of this
world--tomorrow night's game, their dinner reservations, or the next
episode of DWTS.
The first century church had a strong
desire for the soon return of Jesus. I see no such yearning in our
churches today. Scripture constantly warns us to watch for the Lord's
coming and be ready (Luke 12: 35,40). By being ignorant of scripture
and not looking forward to the Lord's return, Christians are
fulfilling Peter's words in his second letter (2 Peter 3:1-10).
In closing, I have three questions for
Christians who either don't believe in the rapture or are not looking
forward to it:
Why aren't you
looking forward to an event that is described in the Bible as our
blessed hope?
What are you
afraid of?
Do you love this
crumbling, corrupt world so much that you couldn't let go of it if
God calls you home?
