So I want you to know this morning:  Just do good for your own self. .. Do good because God wants you to be happy. .. When you come to church, when you worship Him, you're not doing it for God really. .. You're doing it for yourself, because that's what makes God happy, Amen?' " 

...... Seems to fit her new book which is titled 'Love your life' ... Critics are slamming these comments as 'age-old sins of idolatry' - that it's not about God, but about us. ... Seems she believes God exists to make us happy rather than Holy .....

As I'm closing out his week's news, I saw this tweet from Franklin Graham ... "As I read the news, I can't help but wonder if we are in the last hours before our Lord Jesus Christ returns to rescue His church and God pours out His wrath on the world for the rejection of His Son." ..... Wow! ... It is exactly how I feel these days! .... It is simply amazing just how fast it is all 'coming together!' ... 

... And then, just after viewing this, I heard President Obama's closing speech regarding the just concluded NATO conference in Wales ... Of course, as usual, he used many words but did not say a whole lot ... but the overriding point of his discussion was the coming together of the international community ... the unity of nations to confront whatever it needs to confront. ... Now, if you follow this end-time scenario stuff as closely as I do, you can see how this fits perfectly into the coming globalization of this world ... how America continues its step 'backward' as a super power .... and how this makes Brother Graham's comments even more realistic! .... I'm telling you as clearly as I can right now ...  after following Bible prophecy for nearly 40 years, I have NEVER seen anything even close to how it is out there right now! ... The Lord's return is upon us! ... Luke 21:28 says it clearly .. "When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near." .... Hallelujah!

Oh, and one more thing before I close this out ... He has to come quickly! ... Did you notice all the stories about the scourge of bugs and creeping things coming upon us? ... that one story this week from Discovery News that said .. "Nightmarish cricket that eats ANYTHING is now invading the U.S."  .. ????... That's good enough for me! ...  We need to get out of here! ... Come Lord Jesus!

If the Lord doesn't come this week, I will share more news with you once again ... but ... don't forget to share Jesus with as many as you can, while you can .... difficult times are here, and they will continue to get worse before the Trumpet blows. ... Sharing Jesus will help the lost release their fears and will bring joy to their hearts just knowing there is a better world coming! ... Hallelujah!

Until next time,
