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.

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.

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.”

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.

Cancer - The Forbidden Cures

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

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

Cooltextprophecysign





"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?
