Before we get started tonight, I want to make a correction to a New YorK Times story printed in last week's headlines .. October 18th to be exact. ... It stated this ... "Mega-Pastor signals shift on 'Gay' Marriage" ... The implication from the story was that Brian Houston, Senior Pastor of Hillsong in Australia was changing his position on 'Gay' Marriage. ... It turns out that this is absolutely not true! ... What he said was that it is difficult to stay relevant in this ever-changing world. .. Sadly, the Times thought that meant he was changing ... When I found out the truth, I was extremely happy because I've been a big fan of their music as well as some of their other work. .. In fact, as a worship leader, I play many of their songs.  ... Bottom line? .. Pastor Brian is NOT changing his position and stands by the teachings of Paul. ... Praise the Lord. .. If my printing this article mislead anyone, you have my deepest apologies. ... Usually The New York Times has been a reliable source of news ... not so this time ...  OK, let's get started .....

             -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What did we see this week that stands out? .. First of all, Russia is really stepping up their 'game.' ... But I don't think Mr. Putin has much choice. .. His economy is on its face .. his biggest export (oil) prices are on the decline .. sanctions from the West are pressuring their markets ... Simply, he needs to 'stir the pot' so as to keep his people distracted ... this makes him extremely dangerous because he has everything to lose if his people wake up. ...

Then their is the extreme drought conditions, which are rapidly increasing in size and intensity in many locations around the world. .. Sadly, this is now leading to increasing hunger for a lot of people. ... and what about civil chaos! ... One day last week, we saw a school shooting, a hatchet attack on police officers in New York City, three officers shot in Sacramento ....this was just ONE DAY!

But the stories this week that grabbed my attention the most is the complete meltdown of the U.S.-Israeli
relations. ... and it's not a slow melt ... It is happening at break-neck speed! ... I mean even the people in our government are calling Israel's Prime Minister vulgar names! ... Predictably, Netanyahu is not backing down one iota. ... It is a known fact that he and Obama detest one another, and this will only exacerbate the entire situation ..... But what most people don't understand is the ultimate implications this has for our nation. ... Besides throwing God out of our society, now we are turning our back on Israel .. God's chosen people! ... If you look back into the Old Testament history, what has happened to any nation that has come against Israel? ... Utter destruction! ... We know for a fact that most every nation on Earth hates the Jews, but America was its one ally they could count on. .. In fact, I believe much of America's blessing has come from our supporting and watching over God's chosen people these past several decades. ... But now, it all seems to be changing. ... Unless there is a sudden change, it will not turn out well for us in the end.

OK ... I'm outta here for another week. ... Keep up the good fight, and if things seem to be getting darker and darker by the day .. well .. they are! ... But that only indicates the closeness of the return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! ... Hallelujah! .... Love you all and am praying for each of you constantly, and God knows exactly who you are! .....

Until next time,
