*USA Today - "Food banks brace for run on supplies"

*Yahoo News - "Israel vows to deny Hezbollah weapons as details of Syria raid emerge"
... This simply means that as Russia & Iran ship more and more weapons, Israel is going to 'blow them up' .... Doesn't really enhance the peace process too much!
*Baptist Press - "Baptist child-care agency weighs hiring homosexuals"
..... Why? .. Because the ministry has become dependent upon government funding! .. This is tragic. ... Herein lies the problem with churches being involved with any kind of government program, especially ones that seem to promote sinful lifestyles. ... The tax-exempt 501(c)3 option that most churches are involved with today makes them vulnerable to compromise, as this child-care agency proves ... not to mention the signing of an agreement, or oath with an entity that promotes separation of church & state. ...
Jesus teaches in Matthew 5:33-37 not to sign any kinds of oaths .. in any circumstance. ... I wonder how our leaders get around this compromise? .......

*New York Post - "First men marry at West Point chapel"
.... Another American institution's 'traditional' barrier falls ........
*World Net Daily - "Prophecy Scholar:  America at crossroads"
.... Basically, CNN & History Channel commentator Paul McGuire says America has two future options ..
   1) The Church & nation must turn back to God in order to experience a 'great spiritual awakening' ..  or
   2) America doesn't repent of its immorality & will experience a 'crisis of unprecedented proportions' .. a complete economic collapse .. a surprise nuclear or terrorist attack .. or a wave of devastating earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, solar flares, and other cataclysmic disasters. ...
.... For me personally, I believe the 1st scenario is purely wishful thinking. .. While I realize God can do anything, I believe America has fulfilled her purpose in the prophetic timetable & must now 'fall back' into the 'pack' of worlds nations. ... This is needed to happen in order for the antichrist to rise up & take the reigns of world government. ... With America out of the way, there is no one 'in the way,' so to speak. ... Oh, and one more significant point ... I can find NO scriptural evidence supporting the 2nd position, that being a great revival during what remains of the Church age. ... However, I DO see evidence of a 'great awakening' during the tribulation period, which will begin immediately after the Church is taken up in the Rapture .. (see Revelation. chapter 7) .....

So, if a Christian business refuses to hire someone of this sexual persuasion, it will be deemed illegal & most likely would result in civil fines, lawsuits, and even closure. .... Just another way to 'shut us Christians up' .......
*World Net Daily - " 'Purge Surge:'  Obama fires another commander"
Comment from article:  "Naval commanding officer alarmed by 'relentless' attack on Armed Forces."
.... Add this to all the other very similar actions by this administration, something is obviously up!
*The Daily Caller - "Obama denies 'you can keep it' videotaped promises"

*Los Angeles Times - "Crowd dances, cheers as man burns to death during Halloween Carnival in West Hollywood"

I know that most don't even realize it, but they, in fact, are promoting the Kingdom of Hell, not to mention the influence it has on their kids ..... Oh, I know ...

*World Net Daily - "General blames 'Night Stalker' for military purge"

... He goes on to say a 'mysterious' advisor's influence on Obama now negatively affecting U.S. Armed Forces. ....... Want to know who this 'mysterious' advisor is? ... It is none other than Valerie Jarrett, a very well-known extreme left-wing socialist and member of the president's 'in-group' advisory staff.  ...

Another week, and certainly NO shortage of stuff to look at ..... We continue to see  growing persecution in our land. ... As for perversion, it is completely out of control. ... It appears to be invading every part of our society. ... And our current governing administration seems to be 'keeping up the pace' of lies & deceit ... and this purging of the military is plain scary! ... There is absolutely no doubt they are preparing for the worst concerning the coming civil unrest that is about to befall this nation. ... Otherwise, why would so many agencies be purchasing military supplies? .... i don't think Canada or Mexico is posing an immediate threat.
... It's their own people they fear!
Also, we see the world falling deeper & deeper in debt with absolutely no end in sight. ... And as for pestilence, Fukushima is posing a greater threat to the entire planet by the hour ... and what about this latest super-typhoon? ... They are saying it may be the biggest one EVER! ... Then there's the super volcanoes coming to life all over the place ... Every day there is something 'big & bad' hitting this beleaguered planet. .... But then, prophecy said it would be this way ....
With all this going on, the one thing that jumps out at me this week is the rapidly increasing isolation of Israel. ... These talks going on over there concerning Iran's nuclear program are all going the Iranian's way. ... Is no one listening to Prime Minister Netanyahu? .... This guy knows what is 'going down,' and now pretty much knows he's on his own. ... Sadly, his people are the ones the Iranians have sworn to destroy. ... As I mentioned in one of the previous stories, the Bible tells us that Israel will be isolated in these last days, and what we are seeing is just another sign as to the proof of our being in the last days. ... How anyone can doubt this fact can only come from pure ignorance of Bible prophecy. ... The 'writing is on the wall!'  
Finally, I'll wrap it up with the story of the floating rubbish pile in the ocean that is heading our way. ... What it reminds me of is the 'floating rubbish pile' coming out of Washington, DC today. .... Only in this case, we don't have to try and interpret what it is. ... It is a pile of rubbish, and will remain as such. ... too bad the other 'pile' is so complicated .....  
Until next time,
