Proof The Bible Is True

“At the end of the article there is a video interview of Joel Richardson and Carl Gallups on Islam and end times events in the book of Revelation.”  Admin Islam is a lot more than a Middle East system of religious practices that horrifies Westerners used to the freedoms and security of a democratic republic; it’s an alluring, seductive system that turns innocent outsiders into victims, according to several experts. Commentator Phylllis Chesler wrote recently about the issue under the headline, “ISIS’s Nazi-style ‘Jihad Bride’ Propaganda an Alluring Trap for Western Girls.” There, she wrote, “Foreign girls who are lured [More]

Imagine discovering that your home has the Arabic “N” scrawled on it and that you have been targeted by ISIS? They Were Met By Their Christian FamilyThat is exactly what happened to one sister from Mosul, Iraq, that I met with recently. She shared a harrowing tale of fleeing her city, being separated from her family, and living now as a displaced person in a new city. She was wealthy, by almost any standard. She had a four-story house in Mosul, was a business owner, and owned three vehicles. She also had a prominent family, another form of status in [More]

Launched by Eitan Bar, a Messianic Jew himself, IMetMessiah.com is an evangelistic effort to speak to Jews curious about Jesus. “As Jewish people, most of us grow up without considering whether or not Yeshua is the Messiah expected by our people for millennia,” he explains on the site. “Yet, something happened in our lives that changed each of us and caused us to rethink the usual Jewish views about Jesus.” “We offer these stories to you and hope that your relationship with God will deepen through meeting our storytellers,” Bar says. With over a dozen testimonials posted online and many [More]

While in Iraq recently, I was pleased to meet several Christians who are serving their neighbors, even in the midst of their own personal suffering. These “Jesus followers” have lost almost everything that this world values, and they continue to boldly proclaim their faith. They shine brightly in a place that has been darkened by loss, sorrow and hopelessness. I was reminded of Zephaniah 3:9, where God promises to restore. He will restore so that “they all may call on the name of the Lord, to serve Him with one accord.” Another translation reads “serve him shoulder to shoulder.” That [More]

“The US is becoming more of a mission field especially among the younger generation.”  Admin Barna Group has released its 2015 study on the state of atheism in America, and has revealed that one in four unchurched adults in the country now identify as atheists or agnostics. The study also found that rejection of the Bible and lack of trust in the church are two main reasons why people are turning away from faith. The study was focused on those who have not attended church within the past six months, and found that the majority of such people identify as [More]

“It started playing in theaters 04/03/15”  Admin As the highly-anticipated movie, David and Goliath hits theaters in 25 cities this weekend, the director promises a different experience than Noah and Exodus. “I have a lot of respect for Ridley (Scott) and Darren (Aronosfky),” says director Tim Chey. “But they’re both avowed atheists. So you wonder what attracted them to do Bible movies in the first place.” Chey emphatically states the film will put God first. “God is in almost every scene,” he continues. “This is why the Hollywood studios passed when we screened it for executives. So many of them [More]

Despite more than nine out of 10 Americans agreeing Jesus was a historical figure, what they believe about Him diverges widely, according to a newly released survey from the Barna Research Group, a nonprofit organization that has been analyzing cultural trends related to religious belief since 1984. The survey of more than 4,000 U.S. adults online and by phone suggests Americans are conflicted about the central figure of Christianity and have failed to successfully pass on their faith to succeeding generations. That Jesus once walked the Earth as a man was accepted by 92 percent of respondents, with even 87 [More]

“Great interview.”  Admin http://articles.mercola.com/sites/art… Natural health expert and Mercola.com founder Dr. Joseph Mercola interviews Dr. Steven Druker about genetically modified foods and how it took over food supply.

Indian summer in Montana—the perfect day to float down the Clark Fork River and catch a few trout. My buddy Mike, a Chicago native, had been bugging me to take him on a river float, so he and his sister-in-law, Lagora, met me by the Petty Creek Bridge, about 30 minutes north of Missoula. As we put my Hyde drift boat, loaded down with fishing rods and other equipment, into the water, I explained that I’d been on thousands of trips down the river, in the past as a professional guide and fisherman. “I’ve never gotten anyone wet,” I said. [More]

Evergreens had dropped so many needles on my lawn that I had my work cut out for me in cutting the grass. I turned off my hearing aid to block the noise of the riding mower, climbed on and started the engine. On my first pass over the yard a low-hanging branch knocked my sunglasses right off—and my hearing aid along with them! I stopped the mower and looked down at the ground. The sunglasses were easy to spot. But the hearing aid? A beige-colored device about the size of my fingertip? Forget it. I would never find that among [More]

“Just shows how important it is to listen to and do what the Holy Spirit prompts you.” Admin A big ol’ Texas-style Easter Mass? Count me in! St. Mary’s Catholic Cathedral in Amarillo was an hour from Borger, our small town, but my husband, Mervin, and our son, Vinay, and I couldn’t wait to make our first trip there. Just as we were about to leave, a thought stopped me in my tracks: Take two angels. I had a stockpile of little fabric angels. Reminders that God was with me, always. But why would I bring some to a church [More]

“Mommy, I want to go home.” It was heartbreaking to see my seven-year-old like this. “Honey, you are home,” I said, stroking her face. “We’ve left the hospital. This is your bed. And I’m right here. You had a really bad fall and need a long rest.” “I don’t remember falling.” Abby sounded scared—my fearless tomboy was never scared. At least she never had been, until the accident. “You were climbing the tree next door…” I reminded her. Even now, a week later, the memory of that day made my chest tighten. I was in the house when I heard [More]

In 2013, executive producers Roma Downey (of “Touched by an Angel” fame) and Mark Burnett (executive producer of “Survivor,” “Shark Tank” and other hit shows) blew the roof off cable TV ratings with “The Bible” miniseries. Now the duo is moving to broadcast television with a 12-part follow-up series: “A.D.: The Bible Continues.” Debuting on Easter Sunday, April 5, at 9 p.m. Eastern / 8 p.m. Central on NBC and continuing on Sunday nights, “A.D.” will dramatize the days following Jesus’ death and resurrection, as the first Christian disciples endured both Jewish and Roman persecution to spread the good news [More]

“Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty.” -2 Corinthians 3:17 “God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the Gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever.”   “I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form [More]

“Interesting article on the effects of the “Great Awakening” that occurred in America in the 18th century and which we desperately are in need of again. The article then gets into the effects on society of atheism and the ideologies promoting it. We are seeing the effects of that on our society now.”  Admin On March 22, 1758, Princeton University President Jonathan Edwards died from a smallpox inoculation. He had been the valedictorian of his class at Yale. He was ordained in 1727 as a minister in Northampton, Massachusetts, serving as assistant to his grandfather Solomon Stoddard. That same year, [More]

Johann Sebastian Bach was born March 21, 1685. By age 10 his parents had died. At 18, Bach was a church organist, then held positions in royal courts. In 1717, Bach was imprisoned because a duke in the city of Weimar did not want him employed elsewhere. Widowed with 7 children, he remarried and had 13 more. Considered the “master of masters,” Johann Sebastian Bach’s works include: Jesus, Meine Freude (Jesus, My Joy!) Passion According to St. Matthew Christen, ätzet diesen Tag (Christians, engrave this day) Easter Oratorio Bach wrote more than 300 sacred cantatas, including: Christ lag in Todes [More]

As a young boy, Benny Matthews looked on as his pastor father was beaten by radical Hindus in India. Seeing the high price his parents paid for serving Christ, the last thing Benny ever wanted to be was a Christian worker. But God had plans for Benny’s life and called him to full-time ministry. Today he works alongside his father to train and equip pastors and church planters to reach India for Christ…even to reach radical Hindus who persecute them. This week on VOMRadio, we’ll hear Benny’s story, the great things God is doing in India and how VOM helps [More]

A majority has been reached in the regional presbyteries of the Presbyterian Church (USA), which have been voting for the past several months on whether to ratify a vote taken by the General Assembly and regional delegates last year to change the definition of marriage in its law book and to allow ministers to perform same-sex “marriages” in states where the practice is legal. “With today’s presbytery votes, a majority of the 171 presbyteries of the Presbyterian Church (USA) have approved an amendment to the church’s Book of Order that describes marriage as ‘a unique relationship between two people, traditionally [More]

Seventy years old, he visited his friend William Worth one evening, ate some milk and bread, read out loud from the Bible, laid down on the floor to sleep and never woke up. This was how John Chapman, better known as Johnny Appleseed, died on March 18, 1845. Johnny Appleseed’s father, Nathaniel Chapman, was a minuteman who fought the British at Concord in 1775 and in the Continental Army under George Washington. Johnny Appleseed collected seeds from apple cider presses in western Pennsylvania. He may have spent time on Grant’s Hill in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1794 at the time of [More]

“A vision given to Dumitru Duduman in 1997 about a revived Russia. It’s fulfillment is not far off. You can learn more about the Russian attack on the USA here.”  Admin I knelt beside my bed to pray, as I do every night before I go to sleep. After finishing my prayer, I opened my eyes but I was no longer in my room. Instead, I found myself in a forest. I looked around and to my right I saw a man, dressed in white, who pointed his finger and said, “See and remember.” It took me a while to [More]

This year brings amazing signs in skies and Scriptures. Blood moons, solar eclipses, Jewish festivals and a Sabbath year align in startling ways for anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear. Springtime Holy Days God designed the Jewish year’s seven special festivals around His prophetic calendar. Best- known is Passover, announcing Spring, promising new life and harvest. At Passover, a spotless lamb was slain to apply its blood on the door of the home and to be roasted for a festal meal, picturing Calvary: “Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us” (1 Cor. 5:7). The Jewish people celebrate [More]

All the preaching, teaching, music and entertainment beamed by Christian TV and radio is primarily consumed by evangelicals and weekly churchgoers—the folks most often found in the pews. Meanwhile, 2 in 3 Americans are tuned out, a new survey finds. But Ed Stetzer, executive director of Nashville-based LifeWay Research, which released the data Wednesday, sees good news in the numbers. “Most people would be surprised that 1 in 3 of their neighbors is watching Christian TV. Do 1 in 3 watch the nightly news? I don’t think so. It’s an overlooked segment of society that is larger than most people [More]

“Well I’m sure ABC is proud of it’s making this dubious TV history. Just one more reason NOT to watch the garbage put out by the major networks, it’s mental and spiritual poison.”  Admin The ABC Family drama The Fosters made television history Monday night for featuring the youngest ever dramatized gay kiss, as characters Jude and Connor, both 13, locked lips after some awkward flirting. Set in a mixed family environment, The Fosters are a diverse group of children, both biological and adopted, whom an interracial lesbian couple cares for, according to the show’s IMDB page. The show, which [More]

A hard, angry pounding came at the front door. I crawled underneath the bed and nestled into the space between the floor and the mattress. I curled up into a ball, trying to make myself disappear. My mother had hidden herself in a kitchen cupboard. It was June 1945, and I was 17 years old—too young to fully understand what was happening around me in Berlin, the city I’d grown up in. The war had ended a month earlier. Mutti, my mother, told me that life would go back to normal soon. Papa would come home any day now. We’d [More]

“Ma’am, there is no seat for you on the plane,” the check-in clerk at the airport told me. “You must fly standby only.” “But, here, this is my ticket. I confirmed my seat three days ago.” The clerk only shook her head. “I’m sorry,” she said. “But there is no seat for you on this flight.” I grabbed my luggage and wandered away from the counter before I burst into tears. I was alone in the domestic airport terminal in Delhi, India. I didn’t have any friends in the city. I didn’t even speak the language. What was I going [More]

A man strode toward me across the dock in Charleston, South Carolina. I didn’t recognize him, but he sure seemed to know me. “Stuart!” he said, clapping a heavy hand on my shoulder. I only had a second to look at his face before another meaty paw clasped me to his breast in a rib-cracking hug. “It’s me, Fred. From Bequia. Don’t you remember? You saved my life!” Saved a life? That I would remember! The only saved life I knew of was my own. A life I almost lost as a hopelessly drunk sailor. Which made me think twice. [More]

“Variations of this type of giving can be done anytime.”  Admin For many families, a store’s layaway is a lifesaver come Christmas time. For people struggling to afford gifts, it’s a solution that takes some of the burden away, but at the end of the day, the cost normally doesn’t disappear–unless of course you’ve been visited by one of these “Layaway Angels.” People across the country have been sharing stories of Good Samaritans anonymously taking care of their Christmas debt. These generous citizens have been giving their money and sharing their love with complete strangers by taking away some of [More]
