*ABC News - "Powerful 6.5 earthquake rattles New Zealand"

*Christian News - "California considers punishing youth groups against homosexuality as 'Bathroom Bill' becomes law"

But in addition, this newly approved legislation would cause ANY AND ALL non-profit organizations that do not embrace homosexuals to lose tax-exempt status. ... This would include many churches that still adhere to the written Word of God. ... But myposition all along is that we, the Church, should NOT be 'in bed' with the government in any way. ... It just gives the secular & deceived leaders more ways to manipulate us.  ...... There's that 501(c) 3 thing again ....

Finally, we see a bit of a 'let-up' in the volume of prophetic news this week. ... But then, all the 'illustrious leaders' are on vacation, as well as most of the world. ... One thing that stuck out this week was the sheer number of earthquakes. ... After a nearly month-long break, they've come back with a vengeance ... 

I won't take any more of your time this week, but want to say again how much we appreciate your continued and growing support of our site. ... Even though everything else may be slower right now, that's certainly NOT the case with us. ...  We are growing in a time that would typically have just the opposite results. ... So again, THANK YOU!

Knowing that times will only continue to get worse for the short run, please realize that you are NEVER alone! ... I am, and will continue to pray for each & every one of you as long as we are still here ... and God knows who each & every one of you are! .... Hallelujah!

Until next time,
