I just received a most disturbing email from Hazel over at Facebook telling me of this request from Jean who blogs at The Virtuous Woman:

Have bad news the NSPCC have tracked me down. They have found me and knocked on my door today. I am abusing Nakai emotionally. They could take her away.

Jean

Your prayers are urgently needed as Jean stands almost alone to fight against those bent on taking her daughter away just because it’s deemed cruel to “emotionally abuse” one’s child when the latter realizes that she can never be good or saved without faith and trust in Jesus Christ.

For the background to this request, please read this post by Jean.

From the web site of Charter For Compassion:

The Charter for Compassion is a collaborative effort to build a peaceful and harmonious global community. Bringing together the voices of people from all religions, the Charter seeks to remind the world that while all faiths are not the same, they all share the core principle of compassion and the Golden Rule. The Charter will change the tenor of the conversation around religion. It will be a clarion call to the world.

Clarion call? You bet, though not in the same way as you’d define it, Ms Armstrong.

It was painful to sit through this 21-minute talk by Karen Armstrong, but it will help you understand what she and her “Council of Sages” at the Charter For Compassion are advocating. There’s also a 3:31 minute video on the Charter’s web site.

A sister-in-Christ, Jean, wrote of a beautiful moment in her four-year-old daughter’s life when (Jean believes) the Holy Spirit began a work of regeneration in that precious girl’s life. Alas, such a beautiful account has received more than a ton of flak from many calling it “child abuse”.

If you have the time, drop by Jean’s blog and send her an encouraging note amidst all the hate from the “tolerant” and “open-minded” folks.

Though I doubt if brother Paul himself would call it a prophecy, this episode reminds me of the warning he sent out during the Q&A session at the recently-concluded Revival Conference. Sadly, many of us are still asleep; it’s time to wake up!

My thanks to Lane Chaplin for bringing this to my attention at Facebook.

I was reading the book of Habbakuk, and when I came to chapter 2 I was amazed at how applicable it is to the world today (as it was to the world then) when the Lord responded to the prophet’s lamentations:

I will stand on my guard post
And station myself on the rampart;
And I will keep watch to see what He will speak to me,
And how I may reply when I am reproved.

Then the LORD answered me and said,
“Record the vision
And inscribe it on tablets,
That the one who reads it may run.

“For the vision is yet for the appointed time;
It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail
Though it tarries, wait for it;
For it will certainly come, it will not delay.

“Behold, as for the proud one,
His soul is not right within him;
But the righteous will live by his faith.

In Daniel 3:1-7, we read:

King Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits and its breadth six cubits. He set it up on the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. Then King Nebuchadnezzar sent to gather the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the justices, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces to come to the dedication of the image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up. Then the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the justices, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces gathered for the dedication of the image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up. And they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. And the herald proclaimed aloud, “You are commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages, that when you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, you are to fall down and worship the golden image that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up. And whoever does not fall down and worship shall immediately be cast into a burning fiery furnace.” Therefore, as soon as all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, all the peoples, nations, and languages fell down and worshiped the golden image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

The world around us, and as we know it, is falling to pieces. There’s panic at every corner — the financial crisis is sending ripple waves across the world and being felt by millions at an unprecedented speed; there’s war (Iraq, Afghanistan) and rumors of war (Iran, Israel), political uncertainty, and the list goes on.

To many, it’s doom and gloom – time to hunker down and try to ride out the crisis as best as we can, while counting on the governments and experts to devise manners in which to bring the world out of the mess caused by unbridled greed and lust for mammon.

The recent debate on gender roles, from the Christian perspective, in response to Sarah Palin’s election as the running mate to John McCain gave me much food for thought, especially that of the role of men today.

For awhile now, I have been observing and bemoaning the fact that much of Christendom has been feminized to such an extent that there aren’t many Christian men today whom we can certainly call true leaders both at home and in church.

My point is this: that if Christian women are to be godly women, then it follows that we must have godly men who will fulfill the roles that God has ordained them to be in. As the ones ordained to be the leaders both at home and in church, if we men are not godly, it will follow that the women we lead, no matter if we like or admit it, will more than likely not fulfill their godly responsibilities.

I’ve yet to put much of my thoughts on this down, but as a start I am sharing this video on the issue, taken from the TV show Wretched.

I am guessing these folks won’t even shed a tear over an aborted child, but will scream in anguish and cry over dead and felled trees. Even if I were not a Christian, and setting aside all my leanings in eschatology, I’d say that the world is indeed coming to an end with just one look at these loonies.

While I’d agree that we need be good stewards of the resources that God has given us, the new religion of environmentalism irks me no end; not to mention that I personally believe that the whole farce of global warming is a gigantic lie.

“I think we’ve lost our identity…”

Syndee L’ome Grace, Earth First!

You got that right, Ma’am.

Fourteen years, 2,300 scientists from 40 countries and some US$5 billion later…

Scientists in Connecticut and around the world will be watching closely today when their colleagues in Switzerland flip the switch on what is being touted as the world’s grandest experiment in particle physics.

If all goes according to plan, the Large Hadron Collider, a gigantic particle accelerator underground near Geneva, could re-create the very moment 13 billion years ago when scientists believe a tremendous explosion known as the “big bang” created the universe. (Source)

Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is Thine; Thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and Thou art exalted as Head above all

1 Chronicles 29:11

The Sovereignty of God is an expression that once was generally understood. It was a phrase commonly used in religious literature. It was a theme frequently expounded in the pulpit. It was a truth which brought comfort to many hearts, and gave virility and stability to Christian character. But, today, to make mention of God’s Sovereignty is, in many quarters, to speak in an unknown tongue. Were we to announce from the average pulpit that the subject of our discourse would be the Sovereignty of God, it would sound very much as though we had borrowed a phrase from one of the dead languages. Alas! that it should be so. Alas! that the doctrine which is the key to history, the interpreter of Providence, the warp and woof of Scripture, and the foundation of Christian theology should be so sadly neglected and so little understood.

Pastor Voddie Baucham teaches how we ought to ask the age-old question on why bad things happen.

On a separate note — looking back, I thank God I didn’t get into the course I wanted at University because I did want to major in Philosophy!

I am currently listening to some of Pastor Voddie’s sermons, after having just ‘discovered’ him and his church, Grace Family Baptist Church, thanks to a great list of his sermons on MP3 compiled by Reforming My Mind.

The word “disappointment” cannot even begin to describe what I felt after reading Ingrid’s report (you can also listen to the podcast here) of the Word of Faith conference that Ray Comfort decided to speak at.

With all due respect, Ray Comfort, Sir, I must say that I am not in agreement with what you did at the conference. More to the point, I was disappointed that you did not do the right thing.

No, not the right thing that we who disagree with you think to be right, but we are specifically instructed in God’s Word to call out false teachers and expose their false teachings.

I’ll be careful to say that I fully believe that the Gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes (Romans 1:6), but this is a different crowd. While there is no doubt that there are many in the audience who do need to hear the Gospel, I believe that most there believe they have heard the Gospel and believed. They can’t be more wrong because they have been misled onto a broad road to destruction by these false teachers and their false teachings.

Judging by this “appreciative” email sent by a certain Rose after watching Ray Comfort on TBN, perhaps this might be indicative of the fact that what Ray is preaching is the true Gospel without compromise.

To understand this “Ray Comfort Issue” (a term I coined for the entire episode), first read this post then this.

James White with a timely and sobering message to all Christians who live in this day and age when many truths are built on nothing but shifting sands except that which is established upon the Rock — the Lord Jesus Christ.

See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.

Colossians 2:8

It’s happening… and perhaps even coming to your country soon!

If Brazil’s Senate passes a bill approved unanimously by its House of Representatives, Christians and other concerned members of society who speak out and offend a homosexual can soon be slapped with a five-year jail term for doing so.

Under the guise of preventing discrimination, the measure is seen as the latest attempt at promoting homosexuality — the President of Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, has previously said that opposition to homosexuality is “perhaps the most perverse disease impregnated in the human head” and called for the “criminalization of homophobia”.

If the bill is passed, it will stipulate a five-year jail term for anyone preventing actions of “homosexual affection” in public or private locations open to the public, and penalize private and public school administrators with up to three years in prison if they refuse to hire openly “gay” teachers. In other words, the measure will force prison time for any “moral, ethical, philosophical or psychological expression that questions homosexual practices”, according to Catholic News Agency (CNA).

The Association of the Defense of Life (ADL) put it down simply as fact that, if the bill is passed, a priest, a pastor, a teacher or even an average citizen who says in a sermon, a classroom or public conversation that homosexual acts are sinful, disordered or an illness could be denounced and detained.

All I have to say is this:

Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter!

Isaiah 5:20

What is going on here? We are worried about getting permission to stand up for what is right? No, I don’t think that is it. I think it’s more of “I want to know I can live out what I believe without it demanding any real faith, please don’t arrest me!”

…

Daniel was “denied the right to pray”. He did anyway. And Paul didn’t have the “right” to preach in Rome. He did anyway. And he didn’t even appeal to other Christians to “call your political leaders and demand a change”.

Let’s call this “I demand my rights” stuff what it is; worship of self. You want to say you “believe” but you want it on your own easy terms. Meanwhile, the Lord uses circumstances to show how real your faith is.

What’s the world coming to?! No, really, what’s the world coming to?

The UK Telegraph, in a story headlined “Toddlers who dislike spicy food ‘racist’” reports that the National Children’s Bureau, which receives £12 million a year, mainly from Government funded organizations, has issued guidance to play leaders and nursery teachers advising them to be alert for racist incidents among youngsters in their care.

This could include a child of as young as three who says “yuk” in response to being served unfamiliar foreign food.

What?!

While I agree with the other point in the story which suggests that educators need to correct young children about their racist perceptions, this point on the rejection of foreign food as being racist, literally, takes the cake, no pun intended!

So, if it’s racist for a three-year-old to reject spicy, or foreign, food by saying “yuk”, who wants to wager that very soon vegetarians will take offense to children turning up their noses at peas and carrots and/or for eating meat, or Hindus being offended that children are fed beef, or Moslems and Jews being offended that children are fed pork or non-Halal and non-Kosher food?

Never say never; we live in crazy times now when any level of insanity can become reality.

By John MacArthur.

In its simplest definition, discernment is nothing more than the ability to decide between truth and error, right and wrong. Discernment is the process of making careful distinctions in our thinking about truth. In other words, the ability to think with discernment is synonymous with an ability to think biblically.

1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 teaches that it is the responsibility of every Christian to be discerning: “But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good; abstain from every form of evil.” The apostle John issues a similar warning when he says, “Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1).

According to the New Testament, discernment is not optional for the believer — it is required. The key to living an uncompromising life lies in one’s ability to exercise discernment in every area of his or her life. For example, failure to distinguish between truth and error leaves the Christian subject to all manner of false teaching. False teaching then leads to an unbiblical mindset, which results in unfruitful and disobedient living — a certain recipe for compromise.

Unfortunately, discernment is an area where most Christians stumble. They exhibit little ability to measure the things they are taught against the infallible standard of God’s Word, and they unwittingly engage in all kinds of unbiblical decision-making and behavior. In short, they are not armed to take a decidedly biblical stand against the onslaught of unbiblical thinking and attitudes that face them throughout their day.

Discernment intersects the Christian life at every point. And God’s Word provides us with the needed discernment about every issue of life. According to Peter, God “has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence” (2 Peter 1:3). You see, it is through the “true knowledge of Him,” that we have been given everything we need to live a Christian life in this fallen world. And how else do we have true knowledge of God but through the pages of His Word, the Bible? In fact, Peter goes on to say that such knowledge comes through God’s granting “to us His precious and magnificent promises” (2 Peter 1:4).

Discernment — the ability to think biblically about all areas of life — is indispensable to an uncompromising life. It is incumbent upon the Christian to seize upon the discernment that God has provided for in His precious truth! Without it, Christians are at risk of being “tossed here and there by waves, and carried about by every wind of doctrine” (Ephesians 4:14).

It is not unloving to tell the truth. You can get in a lot of trouble for doing it, but it is not unloving.

Dr. Walter Martin

I have said this on a number of occasions lately, but it remains just as true, the Christian had better know what time he currently lives in. We are witnessing a blending of the pragmatic Purpose Driven Church, the postmodern Emerging Church and the worldly Word Faith Church now forming the major pillars of the Devil’s Ecumenical Church of Deceit (ECoD)—duplicitous daughter of apostate Roman Catholicism. Even just a couple years ago one would never imagine common bonds developing between them.

And at their corrupt core what each of them share is the warped psycho-babble version of “love” largely foisted upon the Body of Christ through Robert Schuller a la his man-pleasing mantra, “God loves you and so do I.” But you need to come to see that this postevangelical “Love Train” has some seriously misguided misunderstandings about God’s view of sin and how He wants His Body of Christ to react to it. Yes the Lord tells us to love our enemies; however, the Scripture also teaches we must surely also abhor what these people are doing in His Name.

It’ll soon be the exception rather than the norm when one can speak out and warn against immorality…

I think Pastor Bob Enyart, a Denver-area activist on Christian issues, says it best in his comment on the passing of the law — that it will only be “lightly” enforced until the law “… just becomes an entrenched part of our (the U.S.) legal framework”, but give it a few years, and Christians and anyone opposing the homosexual agenda will need to watch out.

Biblical Message Now Criminalized

A new Colorado law is helping homosexual activists achieve their goal of forcing Christians to teach biblical condemnation of homosexuality only behind the closed doors of their sanctuaries.

The as-yet untested state law promotes sexual identity “perception” to the level of skin color under state discrimination laws.

Some opponents are calling it a “bona fide censorship law,” and top analysts for Focus on the Family, the Christian publishing and broadcast powerhouse, are expressing concern over the “mischief” they expect to follow the signing by Gov. Bill Ritter.

Full story here.

Talk about tolerance, huh?

One of the most oft-repeated accusations against Christians who speak out against homosexuality is that we are intolerant, close-minded bigots. Well now, let’s see who the real intolerant, close-minded bigots are!

A pastor in Canada has been ordered by the government there to renounce his faith and never again express his moral opposition to homosexuality!

In addition, according to the report, pastor Stephen Boisson has been asked to pay $5,000 for “damages for pain and suffering” as well as apologize to the activist who complained of being hurt.

Oh, how slippery has the slope become!

Frank Kameny, considered a hero by many in the homosexual community for his integral part in pressurizing the American Psychiatric Association to re-classify same-sex or homosexual activities as “normal”, now says that bestiality is fine “as long as the animal doesn’t mind”.

He has also claimed that there is no such thing as “sexual perversion”.

Kameny, now 83, said, “Bestiality is not my thing … But it seems to be a harmless foible or idiosyncrasy of some people. So, as long as the animal doesn’t mind (and the animal rarely does), I don’t mind, and I don’t see why anyone else should.”

Say, Mr. Kameny, how does one tell if an animal minds or doesn’t mind being violated thus? Is a long moo from a cow a positive or negative response? And what statistics do you have on hand that proves that animals ‘rarely’ mind being objects of lust for perverted minds?

Here’s another thought (I apologize in advance if this offends anyone): I wonder if he thinks necrophilia is fine too, since, well, corpses would ‘rarely’ mind too, no?

All things considered, at least Mr. Kameny is consistent, toeing the oft-quoted line that sympathizers of the gay movement love to put forward — that if the unnatural act (of homosexuality) doesn’t hurt anyone, what harm can it really do?

Full story here: Bestiality ‘OK if animal approves’.

If you have ever tried evangelizing to atheists/evolutionists, one particular argument that always comes up is “show me God then I’ll believe in Him”. When you tell them that the evidence of God is in His design of every mountain, tree, and living thing they see in nature they scoff at that, but when you point out that the building you are next to must have an architect who designed it they never disagree.

So, then, while these folks are ready to admit that a building that’s less complicated than living creatures has a designer, they believe that all living creatures which have millions of cells and are so very complicated in the ways each part works came by chance?!

Let’s be honest here, my Christian brethren and sisters — we all know very well that the “natural” disasters that have cost and devastated the lives of millions in Myanmar and China in recent times are just the beginning and part of the “birth pains” before the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

As we watch images of the tragedies on our television sets, it is natural for our hearts to go out to them, wishing that we could help in some small way. Most times, being Christians blessed in well-off countries, we do what we can financially to see that the survivors receive aid.

But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

1 John 3:17-18

There’s a series of posts at a local portal by “star bloggers” who had to write on what they’d do if they knew that the next day would be the “end of days”. Interesting read from what I’ve seen so far, but it worries me that none mentioned any concern for their eternal fates, save for one. The rest wrote on making sure that they have had enough sex, a last taste of their favorite food, etc.

If you have been reading this blog for some time now (thank you!), you’d know that I look at the world through Christian lenses, so it’s worrying that many do not know that the return of our Lord Jesus Christ is indeed near, and therefore life indeed does go on as in the “days of Noah”.

I have a bad case of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome which makes it rather painful to type more, so I’ll share this little article by Hal Lindsey at WorldNetDaily with you (copying and pasting don’t hurt as much), titled “Last-days ‘birth pains’ have begun”.

This story sickened me.

According to the news report, an influential group of physicians in the United States of America, who were gathered as a task force, have drawn up a specific list denoting which patients would not be treated in the event of a pandemic. There’s little doubt in my mind that this is just another application of Darwinism, where it’s all about the survival of the fittest with no concern for the sanctity of human life.

Dr. Asha Devereaux, herself a critical care specialist in San Diego and lead writer of the task force report, maintained that the list is a blueprint for hospitals “so that everybody will be thinking in the same way” when pandemic flu or another widespread health care disaster hits.

On April 5, The Moses Code, a film by James Twyman, will be opening in a theater near you.

What is the Moses code anyway?

Well, the trailer claims that “35 hundred years ago, God spoke to Moses and gave him a code that became the foundation of the Law of Attraction and the Laws of Manifestation”.

Huh?! Which part of the Bible says that there was such a code?

Well, remember the words spoken by God to Moses when the latter asked for His name?

Then Moses said to God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” God said to Moses, “I am who I am.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel, ‘I am has sent me to you.’”

Exodus 3:13-14

Now that you know, watch the trailer and barf:

Slice of Laodicea has more on this movie, including (get this) how there will be many prayer groups all over the world holding prayer vigils in tandem with the release of the movie:

If you don’t read anything else on Slice today, please read this post. Following in the footsteps of The Secret and its teachings on the Law of Attraction, a movie is opening April 5 called“The Moses Code”. Please read about it, watch the trailer, and realize that 1000 prayer groups all over the world are holding prayer vigils like this one (see April 5) as they screen the movie. In the trailer when the actors in the movie come out with the blasphemous “I AM” statements, it sums up perfectly the New Spirituality we’ve been warning about. These are folks who believe that THEY are God. These people are praying for this evolutionary “shift” in the consciousness of the planet. So while these Satanic prayer vigils are going on, what is the evangelical and emerging churches doing? Helping things along by holding hair and fashion shows like Victory Church in Amarillo last Sunday instead of preaching the powerful Word of God; by holding yet another Christian sex event like Mark Driscoll, the foul mouthed preacher boy, who is now holding “Song of Solomon” conferences where he gets to talk about breasts and oral sex and justify it because, it’s in the Bible, after all. You can see Driscoll’s disgusting video right here. (Why is it that when these guys talk about sexuality it always carries a feeling of grime?) While Christian pastors obsess about sexuality and serve as ringmasters at their evangelical circuses, the enemy is holding prayer vigils. When is the last time you heard about one of those in a Christian church?

I am guessing there’s a feeding frenzy now on on all things New Age, with New Age priestess Oprah Winfrey’s recommendations to millions of her viewers to study “A Course in Miracles” by Marianne Williamson, watch “The Secret” DVD and promoting the latest “Get Ready to be Awakened” series of online courses by Eckhart Tolle on one end, and movies such as these on the other.

And I don’t think I exaggerate when I say that I’ve never ever seen occult practices pushed so blatantly in mainstream media! Until now…

Indeed, I am convinced all the more that we are living in the end of days, when such self-love and foolishness shall be prevalent.

For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.

2 Timothy 3:2-7

Just a day more, and soon the new year will be upon us. What has 2007 been like for you? What has 2007 brought about in you? These are questions I’m sure most of us would ask ourselves either today or the eve of the new year. And I’m sure that there’d be many who will be making new year resolutions too.

This past year hasn’t been a great one for me in terms of success as the world defines it. There has been no breakthrough career-wise, much less financially. In fact, quite the opposite has happened — I’ve seen a fall in my take-home income and seem to be stagnant in terms of career advancement. There have also been some difficulties that had me tossing and turning in bed, worrying about this issue or that problem.

There are many who don’t believe that December 25 is the day on which Christ Jesus was born more than 2,000 years ago in Bethlehem, Israel.

They are not wrong.

For even many discerning Christians recognize this, and know that Christmas was birthed out of a pagan winter observance.

So when was Christ Jesus’ birth?

It used to be that I’d be the one sore thumb that will stand up against injustice and unfair treatment and actually fight for my rights as well as those who rally to me.

Reading dozens of blogs around Singapore and the world on the issue of homosexuality and why governments should legalize homosexuality and even allow homosexual marriages has taught me one thing.

Most people agree with the pro-homosexuality or pro-gay movement, and are vocal about it. People blog about their support for the movement, and their disdain for people whom they term ‘homophobes‘, ‘bigots’ and other worse names. Or they simply use the term ‘human rights’ loosely to state that homosexuality should be duly recognized.

Which makes me ask the question: where are the Christian voices against the movement?
