Look how long it took the major outlets to even talk about it. ..... and these fish? ... They are supposedly contaminated with 10 times the 'normal' amount of radiation ... but not to worry ... they are still perfectly safe!! .... I certainly know someone who WON'T be buying tuna any time soon ... Me!!!

*EU Observer - "Spanish & Italian borrowing costs soar"

*Money & Markets - "Bank runs spreading across Europe - What's next?"

*CBS - Minnesota - "Stance on gay marriage may cost Reverend his church"

Comment from article:  Reverend White said two-thirds of his followers left the church after he said he supported same-sex marriage."........  He went on to say that he thinks people are scared ... scared of change.   ... Well I say good for those that left the church.  ... Just maybe they were in the scriptures and realized that this behavior is a sinful lifestyle ... and if their pastor supports it, then sin must no longer be an issue in his church..  ...  I'm still amazed when I read about these church leaders who "adjust" the Word of God to fit into todays' society ... being contemporary is cool ... but compromising to accomplish it IS NOT!!!  ... 2 Timothy 4:3-4 says, "For a time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine.  Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.  4) They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths." ..... Enough said ...........

*Orange News (UK) - "Famine in Yemen: 300,000 kids are starving"

OK ... That's it for this week's news headlines.  ... Are we seeing a very big increase in volcanoes? ... It's really amazing just how many active volcanoes there are right now .... and certainly earthquakes are NOT slowing down ...  And this Fukushima thing is HUGE! ... This, to me, is potentially one of the most threatening issues the world has ever faced ... and yet the major news outlets are mostly ignoring it.  I'm not sure what anyone can do about it, but at least tell us what's going on.   .... This is definitely, in my mind, one of the 'last days' pestilences that will come upon mankind ...

But, once again, the major attention-getter is the ongoing condition of the world's economy.  How many stories do we see week after week relating to this subject?  I know you know this, but I believe this will only continue to increase in intensity as we go forward in these last days.  ... The Bible talks about these conditions of economic calamity and famine in both Revelation 6:5-6, which is the black horse representing these things,  and also Revelation, chapter 18, which discusses the fall of world political and economic power in the time of the tribulation period soon to come upon the Earth.  .... So don't expect these news stories to go away!  To the contrary, they will only increase .. and rapidly.

Finally, once again I would ask that you read 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6 which basically says that we will know the season ... that we are not in darkness .... and to not be sleeping .. but being watchful as we draw ever nearer to the "Time of the Lord"  ..... Once again, I urge you not to wait to talk to your loved ones and friends about the saving power of our great Lord ... time is extremely short ............

Until next time,
