*The Daily Caller - "U.S. Imam calls on Muslims in U.S. to wage Jihad"

..... What happened to all those 'peaceful' Muslims everyone's trying to 'sell us'? ... Contrary to what many are saying, including many Church leaders, the god of Islam is NOT the same god as the God of Christianity! .... Simply, it is purely 'new age' lies and is part of the movement to accept all forms of lifestyles and religions, masked under the guise of 'tolerance'  ......

*Associated Press - "Obama backs Planned Parenthood:  Says abortion foes want to return to the 1950's"

..... How sad! ... The American president feels like those of us who oppose abortion live in the past? ... I guess that would mean that murder is now 'fashionable' in this new 'modern' era? ......

*World Net Daily - "Defense blocks Southern Baptist website:  Cites 'hostile content' "
...... Even though I'm not a 'denominationalist', I currently attend a Southern Baptist Church. ... The reason? ... It's the only one I've found that preaches the 'literal' Word of God as it is written in the Bible. ... Yes, it does condemn the sins of homosexuality abortion, and other 'popular' new 'politically correct' positions in our society ... I'm fairly certain this is what was considered to be 'hostile content' .....  It's just the beginning  .....

*Breitbart - "Pentagon taps anti-christian extremist for Religious Tolerance Policy"
Comment from article:  " 'Today, we face incredibly well-funded gangs of fundamental Christian monsters who terrorize their fellow Americans by forcing their weaponized and twisted version of Christianity upon their helpless subordinates in our national Armed Forces.' ...... Those words were recently written by Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), in a column he wrote for the Huffington Post.  This is the guy who will be the consultant for the Pentagon to develop new policies on religious tolerance, which will include a policy for court-martialing military chaplains who share the Christian Gospel during spiritual counseling of American troops. ......  As for who he considers as an example of the Christian monster, he cites James Dobson --- he says that Dr. Dobson 'illustrates the extremist, militant nature of these virulently homophobic organizations and their rhetorically-charged propaganda.' "

...... More & more of these types of misled souls will be appointed to key positions and ultimately will affect those of us who are 'fundamental' into the closet .... It may not be far off when we see the "True Church" forced underground .... just like it was in the beginning ......

*US Today - "Spring disappears from Northern Hemisphere:  The winter that won't end"
Comment from article:  "The weather map ... looks like something out of the 'twilight zone', meteorologists are saying .... records continue to fall as the earth is reeling from dynamic changes. ..
The planet's magnetic field is weakening, volcanic activity is increasing, a major tectonic plate is fracturing, and the planet's weather is becoming more chaotic and unpredictable."
.... and these comments are not coming from some 'doomsday nut-case' like me! .... This is from the all-knowing, all-seeing secular scientific community ......

*World Net Daily - "ESPN apologizes for comments on homosexuality"
.... This is after one of their commentators said that "homosexuality is a sin" .... This following the 'coming out' by an NBA player ....... My question is this ...

But then the same Bible said it would be this way .... Good is bad, and bad is good .....

*Arutz Sheva - "The UN has inverted right and wrong, says expert"
Comment from article:  "The UN was founded in the middle of the 20th century to offer a new world order based on peace and security and protection of human rights, and it has inverted right and wrong so that Israel becomes the villain and the victims become those who are some of the most intolerant people in the region."
..... Isn't this the truth! ... and prophetic! .... The Bible tells us that Israel will be hated and surrounded by her enemies in these final days (see Zechariah 12) ...... This is a classic case of 'evil spirit' manipulation resulting in this 'reversal of reason' and common sense ......

*Arutz Sheva - "Netanyahu:  Conflict is over Israel's existence, not land"

.... AMEN to this pastor and true man of God! ... I will stand with him no matter the consequences! ...
Isn't it interesting how everyone's clamoring for 'acceptance' & 'tolerance' .... except for those of us who take the Scriptures literally? .... If people can't see how all this end-time prophecy is unfolding before our eyes, they have to be 'blind' (which also is prophesied) .....
*Drudge Report - "May Freak:  Historic snow hits heartland"

Well, that's it for these action-packed 7 days .... I know it's longer than normal, but its just because there is so much going on! .... As you can see, there was much to report on, but what stands out this week to me is how quickly we Christians are being singled out as the ones who are intolerant ... how we are the only ones who are losing our rights to speak our minds .... We will be eventually forced 'underground' and sites like this one will be against the law ... How soon this will happen is anybody's guess, but it will come! .... Let's just pray that we can get "The Message" out to as many as we can ... while we still can .....
Love you all and am praying for each of you .... God bless you for sharing with me the Gospel of Jesus Christ, our great Lord and Savior ... the ONLY way to the promised land! ... Hallelujah !!!
Until next time,
