In a recent copy of Coffee Talk Light News (September 11, 2015), an article by Lee Griffith caught my eye. I have used Mr. Griffith’s appropriate title of his article for this post. In his piece, Mr. Griffith notes that more lives were lost in the 9/11 attack on the U.S. than in the attack on Pearl harbor. He notes, “There is actually a shocking similarity between the 9/11 attack on our nation and something that happened in ancient history.
If you had an underage daughter who was raped, wouldn’t you want the situation investigated to the fullest extent so that your daughter (or someone else’s daughter) wasn’t put in a similar situation by a predator? Wouldn’t you expect a so-called “women’s health care provider” to do everything possible to report and to assist in any underage rape investigations it uncovered? (read more…)
It’s no surprise to us that religious freedom continues to face significant attacks nationwide. In case you’ve missed this news, following are updates on several cases making recent headlines. Colorado: A local baker lost his appeal at the Colorado Court of Appeals and is now forced to bake cakes for same-sex weddings, should those requests arise. The courts wrongly say that the baker is discriminating. What the baker is really doing is deciding at what event he would like to
Throughout Scripture and history, there have been severe consequences for the lack of recognizing the importance of Israel, God’s chosen people and nation. Here is what Greg Laurie says in his book “Signs of the Times” : Looking into the future of the Jewish race, God told the Patriarch Abraham, “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who curse you.” And so it has been through history. Every nation that has risen up to strike
Planned Parenthood doesn’t want women to know the abortion pill may be reversible. That’s why they sued Arizona to block the CAP-supported law requiring that women are informed of this potentially life-saving procedure. Yet in another brazen attempt to hide the truth, Planned Parenthood has taken an unprecedented step to withhold the facts from a Federal District Court. Since this provision was introduced at the legislature, the pro-abortion community has been calling the Abortion Pill Reversal “junk science.” Yet doctors
In his article, “Jesus’ Surprising Use of Parables“, John Koessler (chair and professor of pastoral studies at the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago) shows how the parables Jesus spoke were specially designed to reveal the truth of His mission to some while actually hiding it from others. In his gospel, Mark writes (Mark 4:11-12): He [Jesus] said to them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those outside, everything is in parables, so that although
from A.D. The Bible Continues: The Revolution That Changed the World [2] When the Sanhedrin demanded that Peter stop preaching about Jesus, Peter shot back a telling question: “Do you think God wants us to obey you rather than him?” (Acts 4:19). At some point today, believers will face this question as well. And as Western governments drift further away from godly principles, it will be something we face more often and with more serious consequences. Christ made it clear
Just in my lifetime, I have seen an unbelievable increase in the ignorance of God’s word in America. Just today, Congress stepped out of its own lawful bounds to impose a new law re-defining marriage. God invented not only the word “marriage”, but defined it for us. Yet in defiance of a Divine definition, members of a government went out of their way to change God’s definition to something that “better fit” lifestyles in the U.S.A. It’s just these lifestyle
All readers should find this information useful. Depending on your belief system, it should rank somewhere between mildly and critically interesting. We are talking here of things changing rapidly and everywhere. E A R T H Q U A K E S If there is one sign associated with the last days, it’s earthquakes. According to Jesus in Matthew 24:7, Mark 13:8, and Luke 21:11, there will be great earthquakes in various places. The number of massive earthquakes is actually
Do you think that the prophecies found in the Bible have nothing to do with life today? Christians realize that God’s prophesies cover time from beginning to end. But, if you are skeptical, here’s one that might be a reality check for you. You are probably aware that, on May 15, 1948, Israel was reborn as a nation. You may also know that the rebirth of Israel was predicted in the Bible. But until a discovery revealed recently by Grant Jeffrey,
