What You Need to Know About Revelation’s Blasphemous Beast and Its Life-Like Image
(By Gary Curtis) During the first half of the biblically prophesied future-tribulation period, about which Daniel, Jesus and Paul taught, there will be a forced mass-conversion to cause many worldwide to worship an image of a rising world leader. This unusual and unique idol will be constructed and established in the sanctuary of a great new Jewish temple in Jerusalem (see Daniel 9:27, 11:31-12:1-11; Matt. 24:15-21; 2 Thess. 2:1-4). It will have lifelike features and people will be required to worship it, as though it were God! Daniel referred to this detestable image and event as the “abomination of desolation.”
Jesus quoted Daniel’s term and said that this event will inaugurate “great tribulation, such as has not happened since the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be.”Paul taught the Gentile converts in Thessalonica (2 Thess. 2:3-12) that this “great tribulation” will be the beginning of the “Day of the Lord,” a long-prophesied time of God’s judgment and wrath on unbelievers. But, that “Day” will not commence until two key events happen: first, some professed believers will rebel against God and cause a great apostasy or “falling away” from the faith; second “the man of sin,” “the son of destruction,” “the lawless one” will be “revealed,” as though being hidden from view or discernment until that point in time.

B.C. declares state of emergency as nearly 600 wildfires burn across the province, Canada
British Columbia has declared a province-wide state of emergency on August 15, 2018, due to raging wildfires. Although 2018 is already the 4th worst season on record, it’s still far behind record-breaking 2017. Previous declarations were in 1996, 2003 and 2017, which lasted 10 weeks. As of early August 15, there were 566 wildfires burning in the province. There are 29 active evacuation orders impacting
around 2 050 people and 48 evacuation centers affecting 18 720 people. Over 3 300 firefighters and contractors are involved in fighting the fires, including 1 427 B.C. contract personnel and 436 out-of-province personnel from Alberta, New Brunswick, Northwest Territories, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Parks Canada, Australia, Mexico and New Zealand. So far this year, more than 380 000 ha (939 000 acres) have been burned by wildfires, making it the fourth worst season on record.

Strong and shallow Magnitude 6.6 earthquake strikes Andreanof Islands, Alaska
A strong earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.6 hit the Aleutian Islands Wednesday afternoon, according to the Alaska Earthquake Center. No tsunami is expected, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. The earthquake struck at 1:56 p.m., about 75 miles southwest of the community of
Adak, the center said, at a depth of about 7 miles. Beth Carroll, Adak city clerk, said she had just returned to her office after her lunch break when the earthquake struck. “It was pretty intense for about 15 seconds,” Carroll said. “It started out slow, and then it got heavier and heavier, and then it finally died down.”

Tick epidemic threatens to spread to US from Mexico…
A new kind of tick is causing an epidemic of Rocky Mountain spotted fever in Mexico, and it’s threatening to spread to the U.S., researchers said Wednesday. Rocky Mountain spotted fever is already dangerous, and the new carrier is more likely to bite people than the ticks that usually spread it, the team of U.S. and Mexican researchers said.
As ticks, in general, become more common as the climate warms, they’re a bigger threat, they added. “Rocky Mountain spotted fever, caused by the bacteria Rickettsia rickettsii, is responsible for more human deaths than any other tick-borne disease in North America,” the team wrote in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases.

First Transgender Nominee for Governor Thinks ‘Radicalized Christians’ Are a Threat
Christine Hallquist, the new Democratic nominee for governor of Vermont and America’s first major party transgender candidate, once tweeted that “radicalized Christians” are a problem that Americans currently “tolerate.” Hallquist made the comment in June 2017 about an article from “LGBTQ Nation”
in which a girl was disqualified from a soccer team because she looked like a boy. Hallquist’s Twitter stream features several shots at Christians, including one tweet suggesting that a woman reported to have brutally stabbed her son to death because he was gay – was probably a Christian.

Weed-killing chemical linked to cancer found in some children’s breakfast foods

Weed-killing chemical linked to cancer found in some children’s breakfast foods
A new report found glyphosate, a weed-killing chemical that some health authorities link to cancer, in a number of popular breakfast foods and cereals marketed to children. The study by the non-profit Environmental Working Group (EWG) discovered trace amounts of the most widely used herbicide in the country in oats, granolas and snack bars. Thirty-one out of 45 tested products had levels higher than what some scientists consider safe for children. Recently, some scientists, doctors and activists around the world have worked to keep glyphosate out of crops due to concerns that it is a dangerous carcinogen.
“We’re very concerned that consumers are eating more glyphosate than they know,” said Scott Faber, vice president of government affairs at EWG. He has been working to improve food safety standards for more than a decade. He said he and his team at EWG had a lab test involving “45 samples of products made with conventionally grown oats” and found glyphosate – the active ingredient in the Monsanto weed-killer Roundup – in all but two.

Canada’s Largest Private Christian University Drops Ban on Same-Sex Relationships
Trinity Western University, Canada’s largest privately-funded Christian university, will no longer require students to sign a Community Covenant agreeing to abstain from same-sex and other relationships outside marriage between a man and a woman. The top-ranked university, which enrolls about 4,000 students annually, announced on Tuesday its decision to scrap mandatory agreement to the covenant as part of the admissions process.
The decision was made at a recent meeting of its Board of Governors. “In furtherance of our desire to maintain TWU as a thriving community of Christian believers that is inclusive of all students wishing to learn from a Christian viewpoint and underlying philosophy, the Community Covenant will no longer be mandatory as of the 2018-19 Academic year with respect to admission of students to, or continuation of students at, the University,” the board said in a motion cited by university President Robert G. Kuhn.

Colorado baker under fire again, this time for not making “Transgender-Themed” cake
Colorado baker Jack Phillips, who earlier this year won a United States Supreme Court case over his refusal on religious grounds to make a same-sex wedding cake, is back in court over his objection to making a transgender-themed cake. In June, the Supreme Court ruled 7-2 in favor of Phillips, arguing that the Christian baker had been mistreated by Colorado’s Civil Rights Commission due to his sincerely-held religious beliefs.
The Alliance Defending Freedom, the conservative legal group that successfully argued Phillips’ case before the high court, filed a lawsuit Tuesday on behalf of Phillips regarding the latest case. At issue was a decision by Colorado a few weeks after the Supreme Court decision, in which the state ruled that Phillips had violated the law by refusing to make a cake celebrating a gender transition.

North Kansas City school district goes fully gender neutral at two new elementary schools

North Kansas City school district goes fully gender neutral at two new elementary schools
No more separate restrooms for boys and girls, with rows of feet-showing stalls. The North Kansas City school district is going fully gender neutral at two new elementary schools, opening on Wednesday, as well as in a few renovated restrooms in North Kansas City High School and the sixth-grade centers. The bathrooms still have an open alcove area with a common trough sink, but the toilets are enclosed inside individual stalls with floor-to-ceiling walls and lockable doors.
A single sign on the wall outside displays both the male and female symbols. North Kansas City first tried the gender-neutral design when it opened its Northland Innovation Center for gifted students in 2016. That was a year after one of the district’s four high schools, Oak Park, made national headlines when it became one of the first in the country to crown a transgender student its homecoming queen.

PROPHECY WATCH: Senior member of extremist Islamist organization calls on Arab armies to unite forces against Israel.
Here’s a headline that looks a lot like what read about in Psalm Chapter 83 regarding a united Islamic confederacy that will try to destroy Israel in the near future! According to a recent report, The radical Islamist organization Hizb ut-Tahrir (the Islamic Liberation Party), which operates in Israel and in the Palestinian Authority-assigned areas of Judea and Samaria, continues to preach for the establishment of an Islamic caliphate with Jerusalem as its capital. Dr. Mus’ab Abu Arqoub, a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir’s Information
Ministry in “Palestine”, called on the Arab armies to free themselves from the “American tyrant” and to move their forces to topple the Arab regimes as a first step towards action for the Islamic nation. In his speech, Abu Arqoub turned directly to the armies of Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey and asked them to fight the “allies of Satan”, a reference to the United States. Such action, Abu Arqoub said, should be reflected in the provision of aid to Gaza, the liberation of “Palestine” and Jerusalem, and the practical implementation of Islamic religious law (Sharia) in “Palestine”.

Celebrity Pastors Are Falling Hard
In the wake of the fall of some celebrity megachurch pastors, evangelicals must start becoming much more suspicious of who they trust, a prominent Baptist theologian is warning. Roger E. Olson, professor of Christian Theology of Ethics at George W. Truett Theological Seminary at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, wrote in a blog post last week that America’s megachurch model “isn’t working.”
“My suggestion is that people (and I’m talking primarily to evangelical Christians) be much more suspicious than they tend to be — about powerful, celebrity spiritual leaders who are not accountable to anyone but themselves and their handpicked boards (‘yes men’),” he wrote. He argued that America’s “obsession with celebrities, ‘bigness,’ entertainment, and ‘success'” is one of the underlying problems.

In Defiance of Trump, Turkey Aligns With ‘Global Jihad Movement’
With Turkey’s currency crashing, the government’s response has been to blame outsiders and double down on bad economic policy that is only making it worse.  The Turkish lira had lost 44 percent of its value against the dollar this year before recovering slightly overnight. And there are already signs that it’s dragging down markets in Asia.
The crisis accelerated last Friday after President Trump promised to double tariffs on Turkish exports because of Turkey’s continued detention of American Pastor Andrew Brunson. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Monday his nation is under siege, accusing the U.S. of stabbing an ally in the back. Today he announced a boycott of US electronics.

DEVELOPING: Mysterious Russian satellite behavior raising alarm in the US
A mysterious Russian satellite displaying “very abnormal behavior” has raised alarm in the US, according to a State Department official. “We don’t know for certain what it is and there is no way to verify it,” said assistant secretary Yleem Poblete at a conference in Switzerland on 14 August. She voiced fears that it was impossible to say if the object may be a weapon. Russia has dismissed the comments as “unfounded, slanderous accusations based on suspicions”.
The satellite in question was launched in October last year. “[The satellite’s] behavior on-orbit was inconsistent with anything seen before from on-orbit inspection or space situational awareness capabilities, including other Russian inspection satellite activities,” Ms Poblete told the conference on disarmament in Switzerland. “Russian intentions with respect to this satellite are unclear and are obviously a very troubling development,” she added, citing recent comments made by the commander of Russia’s Space Forces, who said adopting “new prototypes of weapons” was a key objective for the force.

7 Sure Signs of a Genuine New-Covenant Prophet
Aug 15, 2018 | 0  |     
7 Sure Signs of a Genuine New-Covenant Prophet
(By Ron Cantor) But What About False Prophets in the New Covenant? – The phrase “false prophet” is used 11 times in the New Testament, and it never refers to a believer. There is the false prophet of the antichrist and Bar Jesus of Acts 13, “a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right!” and he was “seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.” (v. 8, ESV).
The other references refer to false messiahs and deceivers of the truth. Never, not once, is a child of God referred to as a false prophet—and yet, we know that every believer was encouraged to prophesy (1 Cor. 14:1). So, if one claims that someone who makes a mistake in prophecy is a false prophet, they are claiming that he is an unbeliever, presently and always, in line with the devil, seeking to deceive the body—despite repentance, loving Yeshua and bearing fruit for the kingdom—which is absurd. Furthermore, we must ask ourselves: are prophecy and prophets exactly the same under the New Covenant as the Old Covenant? If so, should one who prophesies presumptuously be put to death? (Duet. 18:20). If that is our conclusion, then a host of others should be killed. But there is a clear difference.
Every Believer Should Seek to Prophesy – In the Old Covenant, God spoke almost exclusively through prophets. In the New Covenant, every believer is encouraged to seek to prophesy: “Follow after love and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification and exhortation and comfort” (1 Cor. 14:1, 3) The Greek word translated eagerly desire is zeloo—where we get our word zeal. It is an onomatopoetic word, meaning it sounds like itself (like buzz) and it sounds in Greek like “boiling water”. In other words, we are to be boiling over with zeal for the gifts of the Spirit (as we “follow the way of love”). It should be something we pray for every day.

Toddler Killed in Ritual to ‘Cast Out Demonic Spirits’; Family Believed He Would Return as Jesus
A 3-year-old boy found buried at a New Mexico desert compound died in a ritual to “cast out demonic spirits,” but his extended family believed he would “return as Jesus” to identify “corrupt” targets for them to attack, prosecutors said in court on Monday.  Prosecutors’ account of an exorcism-like ritual, allegations of weapons training for children and references to martyrdom and conspiracy were aimed at
persuading a judge to deny bond for the five adults charged with child abuse in the case. However, state District Judge Sarah Backus said at the end of the four-hour detention hearing she remained unconvinced that the defendants posed a danger to the community and set bail at $20,000 for each of them. “The state alleges that there was a big plan afoot,” Backus said in rendering her decision. “But the state hasn’t shown to my satisfaction, in clear and convincing evidence, what that plan was.”

Measles outbreak reaches 21 states, including North Carolina
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday afternoon that 107 people from 21 states, including North Carolina, have reported contracting the measles. The other states included are Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan,
Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington. This number will likely outpace the number of measles cases reported in 2017. There were 118 cases in 2017, and only 86 the year before that. The last outbreak was in 2015 when 188 people contracted measles. The outbreak was linked to an amusement park in California where it is thought that a traveler from overseas brought it to the U.S..

Vermont makes history electing first Transgender candidate for Governor
Vermont Democrats made history Tuesday by nominating Christine Hallquist as the first transgender individual to be a major party candidate for governor.  Meanwhile, preliminary results showed that Gov. Phil Scott survived a challenge animated by his former Republican allies in the gun-rights movement. The general election matchup pits Hallquist, a former utility executive who has never held statewide
elected office, against Scott, a former construction company owner seeking a second term. “I’m going to tell you why we’re going to win in November,” said Hallquist, holding a clipboard as she addressed a cheering crowd of supporters at the Skinny Pancake restaurant in Burlington. “Because nothing is impossible when you’re on the side of justice.”

Record-breaking temperatures leave 29 dead in South Korean heatwave
As many as 29 people have died due to heatstroke in South Korea, according to the South Korean Ministry of Health, Welfare and Disease Control. The country is undergoing an extended heatwave, with at least 15 days of temperatures over 35˚C (95˚F) recorded, the Korean Meteorological Administration (KMA) reported.
The agency added that Wednesday was the hottest day in Seoul in 111 years, with a temperature of 39.6˚C. The Office of the Prime Minister has ordered all public construction sites to cease work during daytime hours for the duration of the extreme temperatures. The government will also focus on medical support to communities, including providing fluid and cooling systems for 1,000 elderly farmers.

White Nationalist, KKK Member Who Marched in Charlottesville Baptized by Those He Once Hated
A year ago today, hundreds of white nationalists gathered in Charlottesville, Virginia at the Unite the Right rally, which took a violent turn. Ken Parker, an ex-KKK member, was one of the hundreds that marched around the quintessential Virginian city. But since the events occurred in Charlottesville, Ken Parker has completely turned his life around.
One year later, Parker is trying to undo the wrongs he committed, and that’s partially due to people he encountered following the Charlottesville rally. On August 12, 2018, Parker dressed in a black shirt that had two lightning bolts on the collar, signifying his membership in the American neo-Nazi group, the National Socialist Movement. Parker had joined the KKK in 2012 but then decided to become a Nazi when “the clan wasn’t hateful enough” for him.

Traditional Churches in Bible Belt closing paving the way for churches in Bars, and Movie Theaters
Amid dozens of church closures in the heart of the Bible Belt, some in South Carolina are planting congregations in bars, movie theaters, and in homes. South Carolina newspaper The State reported Thursday that across the traditionally conservative state, many churches have closed — 97 since 2011 — and others are slowly dying, reflecting a nationwide trend, yet there is new growth amid the decay.
Reflecting on the article Thursday, Mark Tooley, president of the Institute on Religion and Democracy in Washington D.C., noted that the South Carolina newspaper’s account of the unconventional ways of doing church shows that stories of decline are “more complicated than church shrinkage … as people leave old denominations, especially Mainline Protestant, in favor of newer churches.”

Glacier National Park wildfires force evacuations and have destroyed structures
The fast-growing Howe Ridge fire that forced evacuations at Glacier National Park on Sunday has destroyed some structures on the north end of Lake McDonald. Park spokeswoman Lauren Alley says details are not available at this time about the number or type of structures. She also noted that a Flathead County structural fire task force provided a significant response.
The rapid growth and extreme fire behavior triggered dozens of evacuations on Sunday night. Alley says that between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. about 87 campsites, 82 rooms, at the Lake McDonald Lodge, and other visitors, employees, and residents were evacuated from the Avalanche Campground, North Lake McDonald Road, the Lake McDonald Lodge Complex, and private residences along the Going-to-the-Sun Road The Sprague Creek Campground’s 25 campsites are being evacuated on Monday.

Earthquakes continue to reel North Slope, Alaska after record setting Quake
The USGS recorded more than 270 earthquakes in Alaska’s North Slope on Sunday, August 12 and Monday, August 13, 2018, including M6.4, the most powerful earthquake ever to hit the region. The previous most powerful quake in the North Slope was M5.2 registered in 1995. State seismologist Mike West said that Sunday’s M6.4 earthquake hit an area 26 km (42 miles) E of Kavik River Camp and 213 km (343 miles) NE of Fairbanks at a depth of about 6 miles (10 km).
“It was the biggest recorded quake in the North Slope by a substantial amount. This is a very significant event that will take us some time to understand,” West told the Anchorage Daily News. “The jump from M5.2 to M6.4 is significant because earthquakes rapidly grow in strength as magnitude rises. That’s why at 6.4 this changes how we think about the region,” he said. “It’s a little early to say how, but it’s safe to say this earthquake will cause a re-evaluation of the seismic potential of that area.”

MIT computer model predicts end of civilization by 2040
A computer model developed in 1973 by a team of MIT researchers has predicted the “end of civilized life as we know it” by 2040, with a major change coming in 2020 – just two years away from now.  An apocalyptic computer model, processed by one of the world’s largest computers in 1973, has predicted the end of civilization by 2040.
The prediction came from a programme nicknamed World One, which was developed by a team of MIT researchers and processed by Australia’s largest computer. It was originally devised by computer pioneer Jay Forrester, after he was tasked by the Club of Rome to develop a model of global sustainability. However, the shocking result of the computer calculations showed that the level of pollution and population would cause a global collapse by 2040.

In a confidential alert on Friday, America’s Federal Bureau of Investigation told international banks that criminals are plotting a concerted global malware attack on cash machines in the next few
days. The FBI issued a warning about a highly choreographed fraud scheme known as an ATM “jackpotting”, in which crooks hack a bank or payment card processor and use cloned cards at cash machines around the world to take out millions in just a few minutes.

Alabama Putting God Back in Schools with Ten Commandments, ‘In God We Trust’ Displays

Alabama Putting God Back in Schools with Ten Commandments, ‘In God We Trust’ Displays
Alabama public schools are hoping to bring God back into their schools by displaying the US motto “In God We Trust” on school buildings. In February, the Alabama legislature approved a new law allowing such displays on public property, and now is giving schools the right to exhibit the motto as well. The national motto, approved by Congress in 1956, is already displayed in 17 public venues in Alabama, and
the Blount County school board plans to be the first to implement the motto in its schools. Officials say the legislation is not a mandate, like what was approved by Tennessee lawmakers this spring requiring the motto to be on display inside all public schools. Republican state Rep. David Standridge, who sponsored the original legislation that took effect July 1, said it seemed like a better approach to make it permissive rather than a mandate.

Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church Becomes First in US to Baptize 50,000 People
“I never stop being amazed by you. You are extraordinary people, and I continually thank God for what you mean to me,” Warren stated in a letter to the people of the megachurch, shared Saturday on Facebook.  The pastor looked back over the 38 years of milestones that Saddleback has been achieving, such as becoming the first to grow to 10,000 in worship without owning a building, and the first to send
the Gospel to all 197 officials nations in the world. This weekend marked another major milestone, as the 50,000th person was baptized into the faith at Saddleback. “Imagine all the amazing personal stories of changed lives behind that number! 50,000 individual lives transformed by Jesus since Saddleback Church began. This is unprecedented in history! YOU are likely one of those stories of a changed life!” read Warren’s letter.

This Habit Can Help Set You Free From Any Addiction

This Habit Can Help Set You Free From Any Addiction
(By Dr. Doug Weiss) In Bible college, I cried out to God and constantly looked for Scriptures to help me get free. Early in my walk with Jesus, I found a very familiar Scripture that anyone who fails, again and again, can cling to for forgiveness. Here is what I found:  “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).
When I messed up, I did what you probably do as well. I knelt down, sometimes crying for Jesus to forgive and cleanse me. Like you, I experienced true forgiveness. I felt the forgiveness of Jesus. I believed his blood had more power than my sin in which I was choosing to participate. I felt cleansed, and this would last for days or weeks until I acted out in the sin again; then Wham-O! The guilt and shame came back, and I would be forgiven again. I think you get the picture. Most of you lived in the same movie: act out in your addiction patterns (sin), ask for forgiveness and do it all over again. This pattern is all too familiar for most of us. I was confessing my sin to Jesus. He was forgiving me. Why wasn’t I getting any better?

Google tracks your movements, whether you like it or not

Google tracks your movements, whether you like it or not
Google wants to know where you go so badly that it records your movements even when you explicitly tell it not to.  An Associated Press investigation found that many Google services on Android devices and iPhones store your location data even if you’ve used privacy settings that say they will prevent it from doing so. Computer-science researchers at Princeton confirmed these findings at the AP’s request. For the most part, Google is upfront about asking permission to use your location information. An app like
Google Maps will remind you to allow access to location if you use it for navigating. If you agree to let it record your location over time, Google Maps will display that history for you in a “timeline” that maps out your daily movements. Storing your minute-by-minute travels carries privacy risks and has been used by police to determine the location of suspects — such as a warrant that police in Raleigh, North Carolina, served on Google last year to find devices near a murder scene. So the company will let you “pause” a setting called Location History.

Dr. James Dobson Gives Urgent Warning To Americans!

Dr. James Dobson Gives Urgent Warning To Americans!
Dear Friends, I would like to tell you about an experience Shirley and I had while visiting the cultural centers of Europe about 20 years ago. One of the cities that we toured was Berlin, Germany. I have been fascinated since I was a child with World War II and what made the adults around me so fearful. I have wondered in the ensuing years how highly educated and intelligent Germans could have been so corrupted and deceived by the propaganda that laid the foundation for tyranny. It is still difficult to comprehend how so many Christian churches with their good people fell prey to the lies screamed by Adolf Hitler and his evil cohorts.
Even before he revealed his murderous intentions, they stood with their arms and hands extended, cheering rabidly for a man who was to become one of the most ruthless dictators in world history. I searched for an understanding of the processes that led to torchlight parades, book burning, racial hatred, mass killings of Jews, Gypsies, Poles, homosexuals and pitifully disabled and mentally ill people. Though most Germans didn’t know about the extermination camps, the majority favored his preparations for war. Many books have been written on that subject, but I needed to see it for myself. I found an explanation, at least partially, on the streets of Berlin.

This Dangerous Sin Can Ruin Your Life

This Dangerous Sin Can Ruin Your Life
(By Joyce Meyer) When we attended the 10-year anniversary celebration of Mercy Multiplied in the St. Louis, Missouri area, one of the young ladies who graduated from the program shared an eye-opening testimony. She said that her father committed suicide when she was a teenager and the pain of that situation led her to start drinking and taking drugs. When she realized her life was falling apart, she went to Mercy Multiplied for help. The thing that really struck me was when she shared that as she went through the
program, she came to realize that her problem started at the time her father committed suicide because it made her angry that he took his life and left their family. She couldn’t get well and overcome her addiction to drugs and alcohol until she got over being angry with him. Many times we have issues in our lives because we’re angry about something but we don’t know it. I believe that for many people, the root of their problem is due to the fact that they are angry at God because their lives haven’t turned out right, or they are angry with someone who has hurt them. They may even be angry at themselves for some reason.

UFO Hunter who dies of mysterious death has laptop wiped clean by authorities
A British UFO hunter who died after vomiting two liters of black liquid had his laptop wiped by authorities before it was returned to his family, a court today heard.  A mystery has shrouded the sudden death of Max Spiers, 39, of Canterbury, Kent, who was in Poland for a conference in July 2016 when his body was discovered by a friend.
Polish authorities concluded he died of natural causes, but his mum says he sent her a text days before he died instructing her to “investigate” should anything happen to him. Finally, more than two years after his death an inquest date has been set and is likely to be held over four days in January 2019. A pre-inquest review at Guildhall in Sandwich, Kent, today heard that the contents of the dad-of-two’s laptop and a mobile phone will be analyzed.

Record-breaking temperatures leave 29 dead in South Korean heatwave
As many as 29 people have died due to heatstroke in South Korea, according to the South Korean Ministry of Health, Welfare and Disease Control. The country is undergoing an extended heatwave, with at least 15 days of temperatures over 35˚C (95˚F) recorded, the Korean Meteorological Administration (KMA) reported.
The agency added that Wednesday was the hottest day in Seoul in 111 years, with a temperature of 39.6˚C. The Office of the Prime Minister has ordered all public construction sites to cease work during daytime hours for the duration of the extreme temperatures. The government will also focus on medical support to communities, including providing fluid and cooling systems for 1,000 elderly farmers.

White Nationalist, KKK Member Who Marched in Charlottesville Baptized by Those He Once Hated
A year ago today, hundreds of white nationalists gathered in Charlottesville, Virginia at the Unite the Right rally, which took a violent turn. Ken Parker, an ex-KKK member, was one of the hundreds that marched around the quintessential Virginian city. But since the events occurred in Charlottesville, Ken Parker has completely turned his life around.
One year later, Parker is trying to undo the wrongs he committed, and that’s partially due to people he encountered following the Charlottesville rally. On August 12, 2018, Parker dressed in a black shirt that had two lightning bolts on the collar, signifying his membership in the American neo-Nazi group, the National Socialist Movement. Parker had joined the KKK in 2012 but then decided to become a Nazi when “the clan wasn’t hateful enough” for him.

Traditional Churches in Bible Belt closing paving the way for churches in Bars, and Movie Theaters
Amid dozens of church closures in the heart of the Bible Belt, some in South Carolina are planting congregations in bars, movie theaters, and in homes. South Carolina newspaper The State reported Thursday that across the traditionally conservative state, many churches have closed — 97 since 2011 — and others are slowly dying, reflecting a nationwide trend, yet there is new growth amid the decay.
Reflecting on the article Thursday, Mark Tooley, president of the Institute on Religion and Democracy in Washington D.C., noted that the South Carolina newspaper’s account of the unconventional ways of doing church shows that stories of decline are “more complicated than church shrinkage … as people leave old denominations, especially Mainline Protestant, in favor of newer churches.”

Skull-shaped asteroid makes it’s return this Fall
Remember that skull-shaped space rock that tormented us during Halloween in 2015? It’s back and creepier than ever. The 700-meter asteroid that looks uncannily like a skull first passed our planet on October 31, 2015, in time for Halloween. Now, it’s set to make a return in November 2018, giving
scientists another opportunity to study the strange phenomenon. Earth is set for another spooky encounter with a 700-meter asteroid that looks uncannily like a skull. The space rock first passed ‘close’ to our planet at 78,000mph (125,500km/h) at a distance of 310,000 miles (499,000km) on October 31, 2015, just in time for Halloween.

Record Number of Troops Come to Christ in Missouri, 1,839 Soldiers in 6 Months
A US Army Chaplain says a revival is taking place on the base of Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri. Since March nearly 2,000 troops have reportedly come to the Lord. Chaplain (Capt.) Jose Rondon ministers at the base each week and has been posting testimonies and baptisms of new converts on his Facebook page. “Today, 380 soldiers came to salvation in Christ once and for all,” Rondon says in one post.
“Thanks CH Tony Cech for the excellent, clear, and powerful messages during the 3 services. Since March 11, 2018, we have seen 1,839 soldiers coming to Christ. God’s doing an unbelievable work through our military at Fort Leonard Wood, MO. May God bring the same powerful conviction of sin and love for Him that we are experiencing at Main Post Chapel all throughout our Nation and His world.”

Iran Sentences Man, Wife, Every Member of Church to Prison for Being Christian
Iran’s Islamic regime has sentenced an Iranian couple to prison for practicing Christianity and also sentenced every member of their church to one year in prison. Article 18, an organization that supports Iranian Christians tweeted on Thursday that “A Christian couple have reported that a court in Boushehr has just sentenced them & 10 other Iranian Christians to one year in prison each for ‘Propagating against the Islamic Republic in favor of Christianity.’
This group of Christian converts was arrested on April 7, 2015.” The Christian website Mohabat News reported last week that the Iranian couple was charged with “orientation toward the land of Christianity.” Jeff King, the president of International Christian Concern, confirmed to The Jerusalem Post on Friday that each member of the congregation was also sentenced to a year in prison.

Christian Author Jen Hatmaker Gives ‘Free Mom Hugs’ During LGBT Pride Parade
Well-known Christian author Jen Hatmaker drew attention over the weekend when she and members of her church attended an LGBT pride parade in Austin, Texas, to offer “free mom hugs” to fellow demonstrators. Hatmaker, who faced a backlash in 2016 when she departed from traditional Christian teachings and declared same-sex marriage to be “holy,” shared about the outreach event in an emotional Instagram post.
“My beloved little church went downtown to the [Austin Pride Parade] and gave out free mom hugs, free dad hugs, free grana hugs, and free pastor hugs like it was our paying jobs,” she wrote. Hatmaker went on to write that her “arms were never empty,” noting many ran toward her and others from her congregation and told them things like, “I miss this,” “My mom doesn’t love me anymore,” “My dad hasn’t spoken to me in three years,” and, “Please just one more hug.”

Belgium authorised euthanasia of a terminally ill nine and 11-year-old in youngest cases worldwide
Two children, aged nine and 11, have become the world’s youngest to be euthanized, according to a report. The unnamed minors were administered lethal injections in Belgium, which has the world’s only law allowing terminally ill children in “unbearable suffering” to choose to die. Their deaths, which occurred in 2016 or 2017, were revealed in a report from the CFCEE; the commission that regulates
euthanasia in Belgium, and their ages were confirmed by a Belgian official. It confirmed that Belgian doctors had given lethal injections to three children over the two-year period, including to a 17-year-old who was suffering from muscular dystrophy. The nine-year-old, who had a brain tumour, and the 11-year-old, who was suffering from cystic fibrosis, were the first children under 12 to be euthanised anywhere, a member of the CFCEE told The Washington Post.

China tears down Jesus posters, replaces with Xi images…
China has taken extreme measures to wipe out all traces of Christianity in the country, by tearing down posters of Jesus and replacing them with images of President Xi Jinping. The country’s ruling Communist party has chosen to eradicate the faith amongst its 1.38 billion residents, going as far as banning children from visiting churches. For the government, China’s Christian community has long
been a source of embarrassment, resulting in bans on the Bible and on public displays of the cross. Church leadership is also required to request approval from the Communist party and even church teachings must now be in line with party ideals. The crackdown has been mainly imposed in China’s Xinjiang province, on the borders of Pakistan and Afghanistan, with officials saying the region is “not Chinese enough”.

This Unhealthy Lie Hinders Many From Encountering God

This Unhealthy Lie Hinders Many From Encountering God
(By Pat And Karen Schatzline) Throughout the Bible, we find some of the greatest altar calls taking place outside the physical church building, yet many of us today are stuck in the mindset that God will only move inside the walls of a church. We plod along in our Christian walk, frustrated and discouraged, thinking that in order to receive our healing, deliverance or freedom we have to wait for the next church service or the next altar call. We spend week after week hoping our moment will come the next Sunday or in the Monday night prayer meeting or the Wednesday gathering. We are constantly looking to tomorrow for that mighty encounter with God while squandering today. Appointed times for gathering with other believers are important. The Bible tells us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together (Heb. 10:25). However,
it is unhealthy for us to approach the altar or press into God’s presence solely at these gatherings. We cannot go from Sunday to Sunday having only one conversation with God a week. Living like this is akin to eating one meal on Sunday and wondering why you are starving and lacking in health and strength the rest of the week. Too many of us spend our week just surviving, trying to make it to our next Sunday “meal,” instead of thriving in Christ. But the good news is that we don’t have to wait until Sunday or some other special day to encounter God. We can encounter God anywhere, anyplace, anytime. All it takes is being desperate for His presence.

‘Drag Queen Story Hours’ capture imagination of childhood, giving kids glamorous, positive and diverse role models.

‘Drag Queen Story Hours’ capture imagination of childhood, giving kids glamorous, positive and diverse role models.
Drag Queen Story Hour is advertised as an event that ‘captures the imagination and play of childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive and diverse role models.’  It is all part of a national initiative with more than 20 chapters across the country. Last summer the Boston Public Library allowed drag queens dressed as Catholic nuns, called the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,” to read to kids.
Princeton professor Robert P. George told CBN News that it’s dangerous to use the state to promote ideas that defy normal ideas about gender. “It’s a message about power,” explained George. “The group in question, the so-called Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, is sending a message that they have the power to enter into the public domain, a publicly funded institution, I believe, not a private one, and to essentially hold a catechism class for this new religion that they’ve created, a religion of hedonism, of self-indulgence, Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, say a religion of licentiousness.

Aging process has reversed in human cells for the first time

Aging process has reversed in human cells for the first time
Scientists have successfully reversed the process of aging in cells for the first time in a move which could help beat the likes of Alzheimer’s and dementia. Many people hope to reverse the process of ageing in a bid to remain healthier and live longer or ultimately to live forever. And now researchers have made a breakthrough. As the body ages, it loses its ability to control how genes are regulated and they ultimately
become more damaged until we ultimately die. A gene is activated by signals from inside or outside the cell to make a molecular message known as RNA. The decision on which type of ‘message’ is created by a group of around 300 proteins is known as “splicing factors”. However, as we get older the amount of splicing factors the proteins are able to make steadily decreases.

Violet storm strikes Italy causing motorway bridge collapse killing at least 11
At least 11 people have been killed after a motorway bridge collapsed during a violent storm in Italy. Police and fire brigade officials have been called to the scene near Genoa, where a 650ft long piece of the crossing has fallen. Firefighters say they fear a number of cars fell from the bridge during the collapse,
and have so far identified 10 vehicles involved.  Italy’s Ambulance Service has estimated the death toll to be ‘dozens’ as a result of the collapse. So far, just one person has been pulled alive from the rubble. They have been airlifted to hospital. Images show the bridge – which sits above an industrial site – with a large centerpiece missing.

DEVELOPING: More than 100 large wildfires in US as new blazes erupt
Six large new wildfires erupted in the United States, pushing the number of major active blazes nationwide to over 100, with more expected to break out sparked by lightning strikes on bone-dry terrain, authorities said on Saturday. More than 30,000 personnel, including firefighters from across the United States and nearly 140 from Australia and New Zealand, were battling the blazes that have consumed more than 1.6 million acres (648,000 hectares),
according to the National Interagency Coordination Center. “We are expecting that there will be more fire-starts today,” Jeremy Grams, lead forecaster with the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center in Oklahoma, said in an interview on Saturday. He said dry thunderstorms, which produce lightning but little rain, are expected for parts of the Rocky Mountain region, while the U.S. northwest has critical fire weather conditions that include strong winds and low relative humidity.

It’s Time for Wimpy Christians to Become Courageous

It’s Time for Wimpy Christians to Become Courageous
(By Bert Farias) No Christian in this country is under the threat of death or imprisonment for preaching the gospel. No one’s life is in danger. No one is being beaten, flogged or hardly even threatened. No one is suffering for the sake of the name of Jesus in the same way the early disciples did. Why then is there such a passive posture and a cowardice in the church when it comes to standing for truth, righteousness and morality in our culture? Why are there so few who are rocking the boat of our sinful, wicked, immoral culture Jeremiah said it this way:
“If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? And if in the land of peace in which you trusted, they wearied you, then how will you do in the thicket of the Jordan?” (Jer. 12:5). America is still virtually a land of peace, but Christians are slumbering and weary with the weights and cares of the world and such indifference. What would happen if overnight we were raided by radical terrorists who demanded we deny Jesus and join their religion and cause or be executed?

Wise Steps to Discern and Test Your Prophetic Words
Aug 12, 2018 | 0  |     
Wise Steps to Discern and Test Your Prophetic Words
(By Kathy Degraw) You just received a prophetic word and believe it is from the Lord. Your concern is: “What do I do next?” My concern is what you didn’t do next. The next step is not taking action on the prophetic word you received, but testing it. Ask yourself questions such as: “Will this bear fruit and glorify the name of Jesus Christ, or will it distract and detour me from my godly assignment?” Prophesy is in part and your first responsibility is to discern the accuracy of the prophetic word delivered. When receiving a prophetic
word that you believe is from the Lord, you should stop and verify it is from the Lord, and not your flesh desiring it or the enemy trying to distract you. Our own desires can seduce us into thinking something is of the Lord when it is not. It is wisdom to verify the word (not analyze it) before you take action. Taking the word at face value without seeking confirmation and direction can detour you from the will of God. We can prematurely act on a word because we feel it makes sense and we have comfort proceeding. We think, I can do this. We are comfortable because it makes sense to us in the natural, but the question is: Do we have peace proceeding forth in the spiritual?

Poisonous dust from 9/11 attack has given almost 10,000 New Yorkers cancer…
Nearly 10,000 people have suffered cancers linked to the toxic dust and smoke resulting from 9/11. With the 17th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks a month away, the federal World Trade Center Health Program has counted 9,795 first responders and other New Yorkers with cancer deemed 9/11-related. In all, more than 1,700 responders and others affected have died, including 420 of those stricken with cancer, officials said. “9/11 is still killing,”
said John Feal, an advocate for WTC responders. “Sadly, this fragile community of heroes and survivors is shrinking by the day.” The number of cancer patients has rapidly risen since the federal program started tracking the disease in 2013. “We get these referrals 15 to 20 times a week,” said Dr. Michael Crane, medical director of the WTC Health Program at Mount Sinai Hospital.

BREAKING NEWS: Strongest-ever recorded earthquake strikes Alaska’s North Slope region
Alaska’s North Slope was hit Sunday by the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in the region, the state’s seismologist said. At 6:58 a.m. Sunday, the magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck an area 42 miles east of Kavik River Camp and 343 miles northeast of Fairbanks, the state’s second-biggest city. The agency says the earthquake had a depth of about 6 miles. State seismologist Mike West told the
Anchorage Daily News that the quake was the biggest recorded in the North Slope by a substantial amount. “This is a very significant event that will take us some time to understand,” he told the Daily News. The previous most powerful quake in the North Slope was in 1995 at magnitude 5.2, West told the newspaper. The jump from a 5.2 to Sunday’s 6.4 is significant because earthquakes rapidly grow in strength as magnitude rises, he said.

The Charismatic ZOO!

The Charismatic ZOO!
(By Jeremiah Johnson) Since I can remember, I have attended Charismatic meetings and preached/led at Charismatic meetings where the following has happened and appeared. I’ve seen it/them with my own eyes many times: Gold dust, miracles of all different kinds (the lame walking, deaf hearing, blind seeing, legs growing, tumors disappearing) angels visiting, the entire sanctuary including the preacher slain in the spirit, holy drunkenness and various physical manifestations, uncontrollable laughter for hours, prophecy, tongues, demons manifesting and being cast out, mass salvation, nightly revival meetings breaking out for weeks and months. And the one message that I have seen with my own eyes that will literally drive out 75 percent of Charismatics who attend and preach at these kinds of meetings is this:
REPENTANCE! – I have had the privilege and honor of being around the “glory” and all the above manifestations listed most of my Charismatic life, but start preaching holiness and repentance and you will upset and turn off 75 percent of Charismatics attending and leading. This is not theory. This is reality. Without Steve Hill and the Brownsville Revival where simultaneously the glory of God manifested and repentance was preached nightly, we would have zero modern day examples of the two being married together. Name me one church/movement in America where the glory falls AND repentance and holiness are constantly preached and you will have found an extremely rare community of believers. Again, I can name you MANY where (Gold dust, miracles of all different kinds (the lame walking, deaf hearing, blind seeing, legs growing, tumors disappearing) angels visiting, drunkenness and various physical manifestations, uncontrollable laughter for hours, prophecy, tongues, demons manifesting and being cast out) are happening but HARDLY any where repentance and holiness are taking place as well. Heartbroken and deeply grieved, Jeremiah Johnson

Why You Need to Slow Down to Hear God’s Voice

Why You Need to Slow Down to Hear God’s Voice
(By Adam Wittenberg) It’s not popular—or easy—but slowing down is essential to hearing God’s voice. We must break free from our overstimulated culture. Phones buzz, screens flash and distractions come at us almost constantly. There is almost no time to rest. In our busy world, there’s always more to do, more to see, more to think about. We rarely take time to be still. Unfortunately, it’s hard to cultivate a deep, inner life with God when we live this way. It’s difficult to get below the surface and really get to know Him if we’re always in a rush.
Look at the Trees – Picture, if you will, a tree with shallow roots. The tree may look OK on the surface, but it doesn’t bear much fruit because it’s struggling to get enough water itself. Over time, the tree may show signs of weakness or even become sick, and could be toppled at any time by a strong storm. This is not a tree others could safely climb or eat fruit from. It is not reaching its full potential. What if the same is true for us? How many of us live hurried and worried, stressed and frantic, on edge and grasping for a sip of refreshment, barely able to get enough water for ourselves—much less give it to others?

Kerala, India struck with worst floods in almost 100 years, facing worst in history
India’s state of Kerala is on high alert after worst floods in almost 100 years continue taking lives. 8 of Kerala’s 14 districts are on high alert as the death toll reached 37, officials said August 11. They described the floods as the worst in almost 100 years. However, they might soon become the worst in history. Hundreds of homes have been destroyed and more than 31 000 people forced to evacuate, according to the Kerala State Disaster Management Authority’s (KSDMA) control room in state capital Thiruvananthapuram. The army has been called in to help with rescue efforts. One government official told Reuters that crops across 26 824 ha (66 283 acres), worth more than $67 million USD, have been destroyed since the rains started on May 29. Meanwhile, anticipating a drastic dangerous rise in water levels, shutters of 25 dams across the state were opened for the first time.

Freedom From Religion Foundation Wants Sheriff’s Office to Remove ‘For God and Country’ Patches
One of the nation’s most conspicuous Church-State separation groups has written to a sheriff’s office in Ohio to claim that the “For God and Country” patches worn on deputy uniforms are unconstitutional. The Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) sent a letter on Wednesday to the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office to request that the patches be removed. It provided two photographs of the patches as worn on official uniforms.
“It is inappropriate and unconstitutional for the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office to promote or endorse religion,” the correspondence, written by Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor, read. “Anyone viewing these patches would understand the sheriff’s office to be endorsing religion and a belief in a God.” “Displaying ‘For God and Country’ on sheriff’s deputy uniforms demonstrates a preference for religion over non-religion on behalf of the sheriff’s office,” she asserted.

‘How Could It Ever Be Harmful to Tell Someone About Jesus?’ Nurse Wins Two-Year Fight for Her Job
A nurse in Great Britain who was dismissed from her nursing job for talking to patients about Jesus now has her full rights to practice nursing restored. It all started two years ago after Sarah Kuteh was fired for alleged “gross misconduct” after her supervisor received complaints that she was talking to patients about her faith. Kuteh says there was a pre-op assessment questionnaire she had to go over with patients and asking about their faith was part of it.
She says from time-to-time this would lead her to conversations about faith with her patients. In one case, she even gave a patient her Bible. She was surprised to learn about the initial complaints but once she did, she said she decided she would only share her faith in Jesus if a patient asked her about it. However, the 15-year veteran nurse received additional complaints against her, was suspended and later fired.

These Are The Four Biblical Prophecies Playing Out In Israel Right Now
When President Donald Trump moved the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem many people of faith quickly recognized the biblical significance of such a move. Trump, like King Cyrus before him, fulfilled biblical prophecy, by recognizing that Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the Jewish state and that the Jewish people deserve a righteous, free and sovereign Israel. However, this was not the first
time in the modern State of Israel’s short 70 years that it has played a role in the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. Many of the miracles we are witnessing in Israel today were promised in the Bible long ago. It says in Ezekiel 34:13, “And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them.” This month, for the first time Israel has overtaken America to become the world’s largest Jewish population center. The surge in the Jewish community is thought to have been fueled by returning members of the diaspora.

China Banning Baptisms, Forcing Removal of ‘Last Supper’ Art in Ongoing Crackdown on Churches
Christians in China have revealed new details about the Communist Party’s ongoing crackdown on religion. The Associated Press reported earlier this week on what believers have described as increasing persecution under President Xi Jinping’s government which has ordered several churches to be demolished while others have been forced to remove crosses and paintings of Jesus.
A 62-year-old shopkeeper from Henan province opened up about what he and other Christians have suffered, such as local officials showing up at their church and demanding that the cross, Bible verse calligraphy, and a painting of the “Last Supper” be taken down. “I’ve always prayed for our country’s leaders, for our country to get stronger,” the shopkeeper said. “They were never this severe before, not since I started going to church in the ’80s. Why are they telling us to stop now?” he asked.

Florida Church Tries to Boost Youth Attendance With Absolutely Insane Giveaway

Florida Church Tries to Boost Youth Attendance With Absolutely Insane Giveaway
It’s no secret church attendance is faltering. The numbers are way down, particularly among millennials. According to a 2016 study from YouGov and Deseret News, a whopping 59 percent of millennial-aged Americans don’t see any particular significance in attending Sunday church services. And based on new data from the Pew Research Center, roughly one third of Americans don’t regularly attend church
because, among other reasons, they “practice their faith in other ways.” So in an effort to increase attendance among young Floridians — particularly those in high school — one church in Bradenton is planning to hand over the keys to a 2006 Hummer to the one teenager most actively involved in the congregation’s Wednesday night services, The Christian Post reported. Gran Dew, the youth pastor at The Source Church,

3 Warning Signs You’re Under Satanic Attack

3 Warning Signs You’re Under Satanic Attack
(By Dr. Carol Peters Tanksley) Do you ever find yourself trudging along as if in a fog? Something’s off and you can’t nail it down. You’re swimming through mud, and nothing makes sense. Finally, the light bulb goes off in your mind; you’re under spiritual attack. Stuff is going on in the unseen realm, and it’s affecting you. The cloak of darkness over your mind is a common symptom of the fog of war (aptly so named by John Eldredge). Often our most dramatic challenges come after a spiritual high or significant progress. If you don’t recognize it for what it is, the attack may take you down.
Understanding what it feels like when under spiritual attack is a wonderful key, allowing you to get your fight back. Jesus said, “The thief does not come, except to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). So if there’s stealing, killing and destroying going on, you can be certain the enemy is at work. Jesus always gives life. The enemy will use any means he can to mess with us as God’s children. Here are three that, if you become alert to them, can save you a great deal of distress.

Pastor Sentenced to 10 Years Behind Bars for Reading Bible, Worshipping the Lord
An Iranian convert to Christianity serving 10 years in prison for “missionary activities” has written an open letter to the Iranian authorities, asking how his Christian activities could be perceived as anti-state. “Would it even be possible for a committed Christian—who was born and raised in Iran and whose forefathers lived in this land for thousands of years, and who is a servant to the God who has called him to a ministry of reconciliation—
to act against the national security of his own country?” wrote Naser Navard Gol-Tapeh, who has been in Tehran’s infamous Evin Prison since January. “As the charges against me in my indictment states: ‘Action against national security through establishment of house churches’, is the fellowship of a few Christian brothers and sisters in someone’s home, singing worship songs, reading the Bible and worshipping God acting against national security?” he continued.

Decision Draws Near on California Sexual Orientation Bill

Decision Draws Near on California Sexual Orientation Bill
A California bill that would limit how Christians minister to those with same-sex attraction could pass this month. The bill, known as AB2943, considers sexual orientation change efforts to be harmful and fraudulent. It outlaws advertising for such efforts and any business transaction that seeks to change sexual orientation. It could strip therapists and churches of their ability to counsel and hold workshops on sexuality and penalize those who sell books on the subject.
Greg Burt, a spokesman for the California Family Council, told CBN News that the bill is expected to pass this month before the California legislature adjourns. “More churches have got to speak up for their religious liberty rights,” he told CBN News. “Silence is sending the wrong message to legislators up here. If they don’t hear from folks when religious liberty is threatened they interpret that as—this bill is not that bad.”

South Carolina abandoning its churches
South Carolina churches are shedding thousands of members a year, even as the state’s population grows by tens of thousands. In the place we call the Bible Belt, where generations have hung their hats on their church-going nature and faithful traditions, an increasing trend of shrinking church attendance — and increasing church closings — signal a fundamental culture shift in South Carolina. At least 97 Protestant churches across South Carolina have closed since 2011, according to data from the Lutheran, Presbyterian, United Methodist and Southern Baptist denominations.
An untold number of other closings, certainly, are not captured by these statistics. Many churches are dying slow deaths, stuck in stagnation if not decline. And if they don’t do something, in the near future, they’ll share the fate of Cedar Creek United Methodist, a 274-year-old Richland County congregation that dissolved last year; Resurrection Lutheran, a church near downtown Columbia that will hold its last service on Sept. 2; and the dozens of churches that sit shuttered and empty around the state.

smoke spreading across the country. Thankfully for those on the East Coast, the smoke is more than a mile above the surface, so nobody can see or smell it. But it’s rare that smoke makes its way across the country.

China fires six warnings to US Navy in South China Sea ‘This is China…LEAVE IMMEDIATELY’

China fires six warnings to US Navy in South China Sea ‘This is China…LEAVE IMMEDIATELY’
The Chinese military told a US Navy plane flying over the highly-disputed island in the South China Sea to “leave immediately”. The US Navy P-8A Poseidon jet was flying at 16,500 feet to get a view of low-lying coral reefs that have been turned into garrisons with five-storey buildings, large radar installations, power plants and runways sturdy enough to carry large military aircraft.
During the flight that was giving journalists from CNN a rare look at the islands, the crew was warned six times by the Chinese military to get out of their territory. A voice said: “US military aircraft, this is China … leave immediately and keep out to avoid any misunderstanding.” Each time the aircraft was challenged by the Chinese military, the US Navy crew’s response was the same.

Turkey’s Economy plunges after Trump authorizes doubling metals tariffs on Turkey
The Turkish lira added to its steep losses on Friday, hitting a record low after President Donald Trump announced he was doubling metals tariffs on Turkey. The lira briefly fell 20 percent against the U.S. currency, reaching a record low, after Trump made the comment in a tweet. The currency last traded down 13.5 percent against the U.S. dollar.
The White House later said in a statement: “As he stated, the President has authorized the preparation of documents to raise tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum from Turkey. Section 232 tariffs are imposed on imports from particular countries whose exports threaten to impair national security as defined in Section 232, independent of negotiations on trade or any other matter.” So far there has been no confirmation to CNBC of the new tariff policy from the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Chinese Christians ‘There Is No Freedom at All’
A massive new wave of persecution of Christians has been taking place in China. In the spring, China’s president Xi Jinping introduced a five-year plan to “sincize” all the nation’s religions by infusing them with “Chinese characteristics” such as loyalty to the Communist Party. Over the last several months, the government has taken steps toward this measure by shutting down hundreds of private Christian “house churches” and seizing Bibles.
The unregistered Protestant house churches that sprung up independent of the official Christian Council, were largely tolerated at one point but have since become a target. “Chinese leaders have always been suspicious of the political challenge or threat that Christianity poses to the Communist regime,” said Xi Lian, a scholar of Christianity in China at Duke University. “Under Xi, this fear of Western infiltration has intensified and gained a prominence that we haven’t seen for a long time.”

Volcanic activity decreasing in Hawaii but the damage is evident with new sinkholes and cracks
Although seismicity decreased over the weekend, frequent tremors over the past 30 days (more than 18,000) have caused damage throughout the Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. Much of the Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park has been closed three months due to hazards caused by seismic activity released by energy from collapse events at the summit of Kīlauea Volcano.
Park rangers say those magnitude 5.0 and higher riddle Highway 11, other park roads, overlooks and trails with dangerous sinkholes and cracks. Jaggar Museum and the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory buildings are damaged and stand empty. The summit crater, Halema‘uma‘u, has more than quadrupled in size as magma drains out to the lower East Rift Zone eruption outside the park.

Teen Wrote to God to Help Pay for College — He Answered With a Miracle
She sent a letter to God, and a minister responded. Mykehia Curry, an 18-year-old woman from Macon, Georgia, will be the first person in her family to attend college. But she needed a little boost to finish paying for it all, WMGT-TV reported. Hopeful about the future, Curry, who took out student loans to pay for tuition and housing at Albany State University in Georgia, turned to prayer, she told CNN.
“I wrote a note that said, ‘God, please help me get the rest of my stuff for college,’” Curry explained, noting she tied the message to three helium balloons and let them go. “Then I said, ‘Amen. I love you God,’ and I wrote my name and number.” Curry said she wrote the note as a simple prayer, uncertain of where the balloons and her written message might land. She assumed whoever found the note would just throw it away. But where they ended up, Curry declared, was all part of God’s plan.

School District Halts ‘Teacher-Led’ Christian Student Club After Atheists Complain
An Indiana public school district says it will no longer allow teachers to lead an extracurricular Christian club for elementary school students. The Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation has responded to pressure from the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation, which complained earlier this year about the existence of the Fellowship of Christian Students club that met at Daniel Wertz Elementary School.
FFRF initially sent a letter arguing that the FCS, which was being led and organized by three district employees, violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. The school district initially responded to the atheist legal group with a letter in April from EVSC Chief of Staff Rick Cameron which explained that the club doesn’t pay rental fees to the school district because it “is a faculty-sponsored club similar in form and function to a chess club, a soccer club, or the GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance.)”

End Times Cult Leader Claiming to Be Jacob, Elijah and John, Sentenced to Prison
A doomsday cult leader who claims he is the reincarnation of several biblical prophets has been sentenced to 26-to-life in prison on the charges of child bigamy and sodomy in Utah. John Alvin Coltharp, 34, was sentenced in Manti’s 6th District Court on Wednesday, according to Fox 13. The man, who led an apocalyptic group known as the “Knights of the Crystal Blade” in Spring City, pleaded guilty of inflicting trauma on six children.
The cult leader kidnapped four children last year in central Utah. Police found two of them in a mobile home near Cedar City, while the other two children were found hiding in empty water barrels near-freezing temperatures. Samuel Shaffer, another cult member who was charged, said that he was “betrothed” to Coltharp’s 8-year-old daughter, while Coltharp himself was married to his 7-year-old daughter.

Bethel Church is Giving Away $1,000 to Every Family Who Lost Their Home in California Wildfire
A Californian megachurch has offered to gift $1,000 to any family who has lost their home in the wildfires that have engulfed much of the state. Bethel Church has found itself at the heart of a rescue and relief operation these past weeks after a massive inferno broke out across the region. Now, alongside serving as an official distribution hub in conjunction with Red Cross, Bethel is offering to help victims by providing them with financial assistance. “We are incredibly blessed as a church by people all around
the world praying for us, donating and supporting our community here in Redding,” Bethel posted in an update on its website. “The generosity of gifts coming towards us is both humbling and much needed. Christians around the world are coming together and supporting a cause that is bigger than any one individual alone can carry.” As a result of the outpouring of generosity and compassion toward those who have been affected by the blaze, the well-known church has decided to pay it forward by assisting victims in a practical way — by giving them $1,000.

What You Need to Know as We Enter This Season of Repentance

What You Need to Know as We Enter This Season of Repentance
(By Ron Allen) Last year on Aug. 21, Teshuvah, the 40-day Jewish season of repentance, began with the great American eclipse. You can receive a free download of our book about this sign in the heavens, Teshuvah Eclipses. Teshuvah is a compound word consisting of the Hebrew Tashan, meaning “return,” and hey, the last letter of the JHVH name for God. The hey in JHVH represents the Shekinah, or manifest presence of God. Thus, Teshuvah is a time to return to the presence of God. It is also understood that returning to God is accompanied by repentance.
Teshuvah occurs during the 40 days beginning the first day of the sixth month of the Jewish religious calendar and ending on the Day of Atonement, on the tenth day of the seventh month. Observant Jews have an understanding that this 40-day period, and especially the last 10 days between the Feast of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement, represents an opportunity to repent and avoid the judgment of God. For Christians, these 40 days are an invitation to repent and enter into unity with God through the blood of Christ. However, for unbelievers, Teshuvah is a solemn warning of the judgment to come.

Pennsylvania Family Told They Can’t Hold a Bible Study on Their Own Property
Scott and Terri Fetterolf have owned their 32-acre farm for about two years. They also have a yarn and wool shop, sell fresh produce, flowers and other goods, provide educational classes, and host private events like bridal showers and prayer groups – according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. But their freedom to worship on their own property has now been called into question. They were served a cease-and-desist order late last year by the borough of Sewickley Heights claiming the “farm was being used
improperly as a place of worship, a place of assembly, and as a commercial venue and ‘special studio or school,'” according to the Post-Gazette. The borough wants the Fetterolfs to pay $500 each for permits for all of their activities in order to continue them. Jeremy Samek is senior counsel for the Independence Law Center, an arm of the Pennsylvania Family Institute. He says his organization is representing the Fetterolfs, and what’s happened to them violates their constitutional rights.

5 Things Pastors Need to Stop Doing Immediately
(By Shane Idleman) Pastors, we are not just cheerleaders, we are game-changers. We are called to stir and to convict so that change takes place. Granted, there are many wonderful pastors and churches. I appreciate their ministry, but as a whole, the church has drifted off course. Christians have lost the compass of truth. Many are more concerned about wine tasting and craft beers than truly seeking the heart of God.
The pulpit regulates the spiritual condition of God’s people, which affects the nation. A lukewarm, sex-saturated culture (and church) simply reflects the lack of conviction in the pulpit as well as the pew. Pastors and Christian leaders alike must take responsibility for the spiritual health of today’s church and the nation. We don’t need more marketing plans, demographic studies or giving campaigns; we need men filled with the Spirit of God. This is not a letter of rebuke (I’m in no position to do that)—it’s a tear-stained plea that we once again seek the heart of God. Here are five issues we need to overcome: READ MORE https://www.charismanews.com/opinion/72554-5-things-pastors-need-to-stop-doing-immediately


Earthquake Death Toll Rockets to 259 as Aftershocks Rattle the State

Earthquake Death Toll Rockets to 259 as Aftershocks Rattle the State
A magnitude 6.2 aftershock rocked Indonesia’s Lombok on Thursday, sparking fresh panic on the tropical tourist island as the official death toll from a powerful earthquake four days earlier almost doubled to 259. Reuters witnesses reporting on the aftermath of Sunday’s quake in the north of the island said buildings and walls that had already been weakened collapsed, and people ran out onto roads even as rocks tumbled down from hillsides.
“Evacuees and people ran out of houses when they felt the strong shake of the 6.2 magnitude quake,” Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, a spokesman for Indonesia’s disaster mitigation agency (BNPB), said on Twitter. “People are still traumatized. Some buildings were damaged further because of this.” Officials said the epicenter of the aftershock was on land and so there was no risk of a tsunami. The United States Geological Survey recorded the latest quake at 5.9, at a depth of 10 km (six miles).

Yellowstone rocked with 153 earthquakes in July
The University of Utah Seismograph Station, which is responsible for the operation and analysis of the Yellowstone Seismic Network, revealed 153 earthquakes hit the Yellowstone National Park region in July. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the largest quake had a magnitude of 2.5 and was part of a small sequence of 12 earthquakes. A larger sequence of 77 earthquakes occurred 14
miles south-southwest of Mammoth in Wyoming during the time period between July 16 and 27. The largest earthquake was a microearthquake of magnitude 2.3 which struck on July 24 at 8:40 pm. Larger earth sequences like these are fairly common and they account for roughly half of the total seismic activity in the Yellowstone National Park. The USGS also revealed that steamboat geysers remained active in July, with eruptions on July 6 and 20.

Top US Navy admiral warns Russian submarine threat is the largest since Cold War
Pentagon and NATO brass have issued fresh warnings about increased Russian naval activity in the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea, with the top U.S. Navy admiral saying this week Russian submarine operations are currently at levels not seen since the Cold War. That’s one reason the Navy plans to stand up a new command later this month to deal with the return of an old foe.
Tuesday night provided the latest example of Russia’s new show of force. A British Type 45 guided-missile destroyer escorted two Russian warships through the English Channel. The Royal Navy posted a video of HMS Diamond alongside the Russian destroyer Severomorsk and cruiser Marshal Ustinov in the English Channel. Interactions like this have become so common, the Royal Navy has warships standing 24-hour alert in port.

Strong Magnitude 6.2 aftershock strikes Lombok 4 days after devastating 7.0 killed more than 131 people in Indonesia
A strong aftershock registered by BMKG as M6.2 hit Lombok, Indonesia at 05:25 on August 9, 2018. The agency is reporting a depth of 12 km (7.4 miles). USGS registered it as M5.9 at a depth of 10 km (6.2 miles). This quake hit just 4 days after devastating M7.0 hit the same area. As of late August 8, the death toll reached 131. 1 477 people were seriously injured and 156 000 displaced. 42 239 houses were damaged as well as 458 schools.
The numbers are still expected to rise as data collection is still not completed. According to the USGS, the epicenter of today’s quake was located 23.2 km (14.4 miles) NNE of Mataram (population 318 674), 35.1 km (21.8 miles) NNW of Praya (population 35 183), 39.6 km (24.6 miles) NNE of Lembar (population 10 000), and 51.9 km (32.2 miles) WNW of Labuan Lombok (population 10 000).

Christians Launch Prayerful Counterattack Against Satanic Idol Display

Christians Launch Prayerful Counterattack Against Satanic Idol Display
The Satanic Temple plans next week to unveil the demonic Baphomet statue during a rally at the Arkansas State Capitol to counter the Ten Commandments monument. The rally, planned for Aug. 16, “is intended to bring together religious leaders of different faiths to discuss the importance of the First Amendment and its protection for religious pluralism,” the group said in a news release. The Baphomet statue has the head of the goat with a five-point star on the body of a human. The statue has wings and hooves for feet. Ultra Culture identifies the idol as a “profoundly influential occult icon.”
However, Christian groups have planned a prayerful counterprotest during the satanic demonstration. “For the first time in American history, with this brazen display of this Baphomet statue, Aug. 16 will be a day of public acceptance of the devil on American soil,” says Jack Burnham of the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) and friends and supporters of its America Needs Fatima campaign. “Satanism is not a religion. They worship no god, only hating the one, true God, His creation and the wise Commandments He gave for peaceful and harmonic human societies.

The Most Ridiculous Charismatic Doctrine We Ever Created

The Most Ridiculous Charismatic Doctrine We Ever Created
(By J. Lee Grady) My friend Charles wanted a mentor. He was eager to learn the ropes of ministry, so he asked an older pastor for training. The pastor agreed—but Charles soon realized the man wanted a valet, not an apprentice. Charles became the man’s “armor bearer.” The man never took Charles on hospital visits, involved him in ministry assignments or prayed with him. Instead, Charles was expected to carry the guy’s briefcase, fetch coffee and take suits to the cleaners—with no salary offered. In this case, “armor bearer” was a hyper-spiritualized term for “slave.”
The bizarre armor-bearer trend became popular in churches more than 20 years ago, but unfortunately, it’s still practiced in some circles. It appeals to insecure leaders who need an entourage to make them feel important. Some pastors have even assigned trainees to serve as bodyguards—complete with dark glasses and concealed weapons. They are instructed to keep people away from the pastor so he doesn’t have to talk to anyone after a church service (because the poor preacher might be “drained of his anointing” if he fraternizes with common folks).

The Growing Chilling Intolerance Towards God and Christianity
Matthew 10:22 – And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.

Billboards showing Pastor Greg Laurie of Harvest America holding a Bible were removed from a popular outdoor mall in Southern California after numerous complaints. The billboards were promoting the upcoming SoCal Harvest gathering – expected to draw tens of thousands of people to Angel Stadium August 17-19, an event the Christian ministry has hosted for 29 years. “We meet in Anaheim Stadium. We have somewhere around 100,000 people that will come out over the course of the weekend and

Pastor Greg Laurie will give a very simple gospel message and we’ll see eight or nine, sometimes 10,000 people make a profession of faith in Christ,” John Collins, Executive Director of Harvest America told CBN News. “So, leading into that we take out ads with billboards,” continued Collins. “We put bumper stickers on thousands of cars that people lend us their bumpers. And we have ads in bus shelters and wherever we can.

Month’s worth of rain falls in Toronto in less than 3 hours
Environment Canada issued a special weather statement for Toronto, Mississauga and Brampton at around 21:00 EDT on Tuesday, August 7, 2018, ahead of a slow-moving area of tropical moisture-fueled rain showers. Parts of Toronto experienced widespread flash flooding shortly after as rain quickly overwhelmed drainage systems. Highways 400 and 401, the area near Allen Road, the downtown core and the Toronto Islands were the worst affected.
According to EC, approximately 50 to 75 mm (1.9 – 2.9 inches) of rain fell in the span of two to three hours across parts of the city but some areas received more than 100 mm (3.93 inches), which is more than the city receives during the entire month of August (average: 78.1 mm (3 inches)). However, many areas of Toronto received much less than 22 mm (0.86 inches) of rain, showing the very localized nature of the heavy shower.

‘This Is an Esther Moment’: Lou Engle Calls Believers to Fast and Pray for US Supreme Court
Once again, we find ourselves in a life-or-death moment of a decision concerning the U.S. Supreme Court and the potential to overturn the 1973 decree of death known as Roe v. Wade. We are urging everyone who cares about the future of America to join us in a three-day Esther fast, Aug. 18-21. In 2004, Bound4LIFE began with the simple prayer, “Jesus, I plead Your blood over my sins and the sins of my nation. God, end abortion and send revival to America.”
It is a powerful prayer that has continued to this day, and we believe that the answers of these two epic cries could now come in the same time frame—the ending of the scourge of abortion and the beginning of another Great Awakening. To miss either one would be catastrophic for the future of our nation. Through the years, the story of Esther has been a dominating prophetic theme for our prayer movement, understanding that Roe v. Wade is not unlike Haman’s evil edict that threatened the genocide of Esther’s people.

European vegetable sector in most serious crisis since 1978
The European vegetable processing sector raised concerns last month about potential losses to crop quantity and quality as a result of the very hot summer and prolonged drought conditions in all leading European production regions. Today, these regions have been affected by exceptional weather conditions, where crop evaporation levels have been exceptionally high, many watercourses have run
dry, and extraction of irrigation water has frequently been restricted. With the hot and dry weather continuing throughout July across most parts of the continent, vegetables have continued to suffer and crop yields have fallen sharply. Today the situation for vegetable growers and processors is the most serious that has been experienced in the last forty years, according to the European Association of Fruit and Vegetable Processors (PROFEL).

What’s going on around the world? Seagulls drop from the sky, Millions of fish are dying, and whales are being stranded
While hundreds of thousands of aquatic animals are being killed by a devastating and unprecedented red tide in Florida, other parts in the world have also recorded many unusual animal mass die-offs these days. Here a long list of frightening examples:
Seagulls drop dead from the sky in Saskatchewan, Canada
Gulls have been dropping from the sky at Turtle Lake, leading to an unsettling feeling for locals and campers coming across the dead young birds. Suzy Fey Pilat has found dozens of the birds lying around the beaches of the lake, located about 240 kilometres northwest of Saskatoon. She’s also watched as the birds have fallen from the sky. “It feels like you’re in a horror movie. It’s crazy.” – CBC Canada
Millions of fish die in West Lake, Ha Noi, Vietnam
Beginning of last month, millions of dead fish started covering West Lake in Hanoi. The mass die-off started on July 7 and lasted until July 9. Investigations haven’t found any causes for the mass die-off yet. But it must have been very impressive. Look at the pictures by yourself – Zing
Hundreds of dead starfish washed ashore on Caranzalem beach, Goa, India without explanations
Scores of dead starfish washed ashore on Caranzalem beach, just walking distance from the popular Miramar beach, have baffled locals as their mortality had not been reported in recent years.

Saudi Arabia to dump Canadian assets ‘no matter the cost’ as diplomatic rift spirals
Saudi Arabia is selling off Canadian securities in response to Ottawa’s criticism of the arrest of a female activist, the Financial Times reports. Riyadh says it’s ready to take the step despite possible financial losses. According to the newspaper, Saudi Arabia’s overseas asset managers were told to dump Canadian equities, bonds and cash holdings “no matter the cost.” Saudi Arabia is not a major investor in Canada, according to the FT source,
but the Kingdom wants to send a strong signal to authorities in Ottawa. The diplomatic rift between the two countries began after Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland demanded the release from prison of Saudi women’s rights activist Samar Badawi, who has family in Canada. Riyadh said the Canadian statement was “a blatant interference in the Kingdom’s domestic affairs, against basic international norms and all international protocols.”

China strikes US with revenge tariffs
China is slapping additional import tariffs of 25 percent on $16 billion worth of US goods as the trade war between the two global superpowers continues to escalate. The commerce ministry said the goods will range from oil and steel products to autos and medical equipment. A spokesperson said on its website:
“The US decided to impose a 25 percent tariff on the $16 billion Chinese exports to the United States from August 23, and once again overriding domestic law over international law is a very unreasonable practice. “In order to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests and the multilateral trading system, the Chinese side had to make the necessary counter-measures and decided to impose a 25 percent tariff on $16 billion from US imports and implement it in parallel with the US.”

Astrophysicist Predicts End of Human Civilization Is Approaching: ‘This World Is Not Our Home’

Astrophysicist Predicts End of Human Civilization Is Approaching: ‘This World Is Not Our Home’
A Christian astrophysicist has warned believers that the end of human civilization is fast approaching. Hugh Ross believes that we will shortly enter the next ice age, the fulfillment of Jesus Christ’s Great Commission and, ultimately, the end of the world. In the third installment of his series “The End of Civilization As We Know It?” Ross claims that humans may be able to delay the ice age for a period of time, but they will not be able to prevent it from happening.
Through his careful analysis of ice age cycles, Ross concludes that the next ice age should’ve started 5,000 years ago, but that the emission of atmospheric carbon has delayed its arrival. Carbon is emitted largely through the domestication of cattle, deforestation and the use of fossil fuels. He believes that this human activity has caused Earth to warm, and the effects of the next ice age to be lessened.

New-Age Atheist-Turned-Pastor Claims God Is Withholding Rain from California Until the State Repents From Wickedness
ATTENTION: The following views and expressions do not necessarily reflect those of ETH
The fires in California are a result of a seven-year-drought. Following 2 Chronicles 7:13, God has done what He said He was going to do: He has withheld the rain. Gov. Brown claims the fires are a result of “global warming.” No, God is in charge; it’s His “global warning.” God has withheld the rain because our state stands increasingly for wicked practices. It may now rank as the most wicked of our 50 states. Our
legislature, governor and courts place the stamp of authority on practices that are an abomination to the Lord, such as abortion, pornography, greed, idolatry, mammon, rebellion, mind-destroying drugs, restrictions on religious freedom, euthanasia. The stench keeps rising. Not using Holy Spirit fire, God sends His fire in the natural.

Mysterious radio signal from space continues to leave astronomers baffled
A mysterious radio signal has been spotted by a telescope in Canada, and it’s one of the lowest in frequency to date. Details of the signal were posted to The Astronomer’s Telegram, a website where accredited astronomers can post observations. An observation posted last week by Patrick Boyle from Canada’s McGill University finds a radio telescope called the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping
Experiment (CHIME) discovered a fast radio burst, which are short bursts of radio waves coming from beyond the Milky Way Galaxy. The FRB was detected at frequencies as low as 580 megahertz, the lowest frequency detection to date. Science Alert reports the detection has not been independently verified, noting the case of Australian researchers who discovered a radio signal in 1998 only to find out 17 years later it was from a microwave.

The Fear of the Lord Is Coming in Great Glory and Power
(By Wanda Alger) Given some recent events that are making national headlines, I feel compelled to share a dream I had in 2015 in which I had an open vision of the coming days. The weight of its message was clear, and I believe we are getting closer and closer to a shift we could never imagine and a reality we’ve never known. I was walking down a road with many people. All of the sudden behind my right shoulder, a huge golden beam of light from the heavens shone down and began to move across the sky in front of me from right to left. It was massive, and it was evident it was not manmade but from another realm.
It began to engulf everything it touched. At the same time, I looked up to my right, and in the skies was a huge screen that opened up in front of me. On it, I saw a map of the world. It was as if I were seeing and experiencing this phenomenon from two different dimensions. I saw this all-encompassing golden light start at the eastern part of the map near Australia and it began to slowly move west across the entire globe. The light filled the entire sky and was full of glory and power. It seemed to move across the center of the map, touching different countries at varying degrees. I knew that what I was seeing and experiencing was global and affecting everyone everywhere.

This Witchcraft-Like Sin Has Devoured Too Many Ambitious Pastors
(By Ron Cantor) Manipulation is like witchcraft. We manipulate to get what we want, when we don’t trust God. David had two opportunities to take matters in his own hands. Two times the demonized King Saul was delivered into his hands. Once, at En Gedi—incidentally, one of the beautiful places in Israel (and yes, we go there on our tour) and then later at the Desert of Ziph. In the first event, David and his men were in a cave, when Saul went in to relieve himself.
“Then David arose and secretly cut off the corner of Saul’s robe” (1 Sam. 24:4b). David could have reasoned, Samuel already anointed me to be king. Saul knows this. Jonathan, in the previous chapter, already told David: ” You will be king over Israel, and I will be next to you. Saul my father knows this” (1 Sam. 23:17) His men urged him to kill Saul, saying, “This is the day of which the Lord said to you, ‘I am giving your enemy into your hand” (1 Sam. 24:4).

Super gonorrhoea outbreak worsens as new strains emerge…
Two completely drug-resistant versions of the venereal disease have been found and identified – with fears rampant unprotected sex could trigger an epidemic. Doctors have been unable to treat patients with antibiotic ceftriaxone and azithromycin. And sufferers have been left with gonorrhea – also known as the clap – infection that causes extreme pain during urination. Australia’s federal
government has issued a report warning of the risk of the “continuing threat of antimicrobial resistance by dangerous bacteria”. Officials added another five strains of gonorrhea have been found which have “high-level resistance” to treatments. Professor John Turnidge, the senior medical adviser with the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care, said people need to take more care during sex.

Air Force remains silent after huge meteor hits near US military base
A meteor hit the earth and exploded with 2.1 kilotons of force last month, but the US Air Force has made no mention of the event. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory confirmed an object of unspecified size travelling at 24.4 kilometres per second struck earth in Greenland, just 43 kilometres north of an early missile warning Thule Air Base on the 25th of July, 2018. Director of the Nuclear Information Project for the Federation of American Scientists, Hans Kristensen, tweeted about the impact, but America’s Air
Force has not reported the event. Mr. Kristensen argues it’s concerning there was no public warning from the US government about the incident. “Had it entered at a more perpendicular angle, it would have struck the earth with significantly greater force,” he writes on Business Insider. Mr Kristensen points to the example of the Chelyabinsk meteor, a 20-metre space rock that exploded in the air over Russia without warning on the 15th of February 2013.

Massive glowing ‘rogue’ planet spotted ‘drifting’ in space
A massive glowing “rogue” planetary-mass object has been discovered, surprising scientists with not only its size, but also the fact it’s not orbiting a star. The object, named SIMP J01365663+0933473, has a magnetic field more than 200 times stronger than Jupiter’s and is nearly 13 times the size of the gas giant.
At its size, it’s right between the size of a planet and a failed star, so scientists will need to study it further to determine exactly what it is. “This object is right at the boundary between a planet and a brown dwarf, or ‘failed star,’ and is giving us some surprises that can potentially help us understand magnetic processes on both stars and planets,” said Caltech graduate student Melodie Kao, who led the study, in a statement.

A Sign of the Times? Pastor Greg Laurie Forced to Remove Billboards Featuring the Bible
Evangelist Greg Laurie has been forced to take down a series of billboards depicting him holding a Bible, advertising his upcoming “Harvest” outreach. The ads had been posted at a popular mall in Southern California. Laurie and Harvest Crusade contracted Irvine Company, a real estate company in Southern California, to advertise the upcoming SoCal Harvest. The event will be held August 17-19 at Angel Stadium and is expected to draw tens of thousands of people
The company agreed to post large billboards promoting the crusade at Fashion Island, a prestigious outdoor mall in the center of Orange County. However, after claiming the religious imagery on the ads provoked multiple complaints, including a “serious threat,” the Irvine Company reportedly mandated the billboards be modified. Harvest complied with the request and resubmitted new ad artwork without the image of the Bible.

What in the world is going on with California? According to the latest reports, they have experienced six of its most destructive wildfires in just 10 months. The fires have charred more than 10,000 structures and claimed dozens of lives. The Carr Fire near Redding has joined five other large fires since Oct. 2017 on the state’s 20 most destructive wildfires list. As of Friday night, the Carr Fire had destroyed over
1,500 structures and killed six people, ranking as the sixth most destructive wildfire. Last December’s Thomas Fire and four wildfires from October 2017 – Tubbs, Nuns, Atlas and Redwood Valley – are also on the top 20 list. These six wildfires have destroyed 10,966 structures and killed 48 people. The Tubbs Fire in Sonoma County last October is the worst of them all, accounting for 5,636 of the destroyed structures and 22 deaths.

named storms, 9 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes (category 3-plus), has already had 10 named storms, 4 of which have become hurricanes and all but 1 intensifying into a major hurricane. That makes the season so far above-average in terms of both ACE (Accumulated Cyclone Energy) as well as the pace of these named storms.

New York Governor Calls for Investigation After Town Clerk Rejects Same-Sex ‘Marriage’ License
A town clerk’s decision to reject a marriage license for a same-sex couple prompted New York’s governor to call for an investigation. Dylan Toften of Root, N.Y., wrote Monday on Facebook that Root Town Clerk Laurel “Sherrie” Eriksen would not issue a marriage license to him and his fiancé when they applied last month.
Town attorney Robert Subik confirmed the incident, telling The Daily Gazette that the license was rejected because the men didn’t make an appointment and because of Eriksen’s religious beliefs. “She has a religious objection and has referred the matter to her deputy clerk, who has no such objection and will issue the license when they make an appointment,” Subik told the paper in email.

5 Things the Church Does Today Instead of Preaching the Word

5 Things the Church Does Today Instead of Preaching the Word
(By James Macdonald) I wish I could tell you that most pastors are preaching the Word. I can’t—some are not. Here are five things we may choose to do instead of preaching the Word.
1. Entertaining: “Music, drama and video, felt needs, topics, more stories” – None of those things is wrong—unless it displaces the preaching of the Word of God. Some teachers will tell you that you need to tell stories in your sermons or you will bore people. I’m not bored. If you’re not bored, no one is going to be bored. Can you take hold of the Word of God and take hold of a group of people and make them listen because you have something to say? Are you bored? The greatest sin in ministry is to bore people with the Bible.
Martin Lloyd-Jones said, “Preaching is theology coming through a man who is on fire. A man who can speak about these things dispassionately has no right whatsoever to be in a pulpit; and should never be allowed to enter one.” You have to get the Word of God, let it grip you heart by the power of the Holy Spirit and drive over to church with something to say. Now if a story fits in, I might tell you a story before I sit down, but don’t make that your thing. If people come up to you afterward and say, “I love that story you told,” it should make you crazy. Really, that’s what I am? I’m a storyteller? The gospel is the main story you should be telling.

FALLING AWAY: California Church to Build Brewery, Drink Beer During Services
A California church sold their church building and relocated in a new space where beer is served and plans are underway to build a brewery where church services can occur. “We decided to sell the building, because for us a church is a community and a movement,” pastor Chris VanHall, who leads
The Greater Purpose Community Church in Santa Cruz, California, told the NBC affiliate in the Bay Area last week. “It’s not brick and mortar.” VanHall’s church community ended up in a food lounge complete with several beer options, a move that reportedly gained them new followers. He added: “There’s nothing in the Bible that says you can’t drink alcohol in a responsible manner.” Food lounge owner Andrea Mollenauer, whose business is hosting the church thinks it is a great idea.

China tests 4,563-mph hypersonic aircraft that fires ‘unstoppable’ nukes…
A team of scientists conducted the first successful flight of the Starry Sky-2 hypersonic aircraft at a secret location in northwest China on Friday last week. The cutting-edge aircraft was fired into space using its unique shockwave propulsion system, an experimental design known as a waverider. During its flight the aircraft maintained speeds above mach 5 (3,806 mph) for 400 seconds and reached a top speed of Mach 6, or 4,563 mph.
A statement issued by the China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics (CAAA), which oversaw the testing process, said the flight was a “huge success” in a statement on Monday. “The test … has laid a solid technological foundation for engineering applications of the waverider design,” it said. The aircraft, which landed in a designated target zone, was recovered “whole”, CAAA said.

Southern California wildfire becomes the largest wildfire in state’s history
A wildfire south of Los Angeles is growing rapidly as it plows through the Cleveland National Forest. The blaze that erupted Monday has scorched 6 square miles (16 square kilometers), destroyed one building and prompted evacuations of two canyons and some campgrounds. It’s the latest of nearly 20 large fires that are burning in California. The largest is a twin-fire system north of San Francisco that has burned
75 homes and more than 440 square miles (1,100 square kilometers) of forest and rural lands, making it the largest fire in recorded California history. A wildfire last December in Southern California previously held the record. The Thomas Fire also killed two people and destroyed more than 1,000 buildings. Authorities say twin blazes rapidly spreading in Northern California have become the state’s largest wildfire in history.

UPDATE: Indonesian Quake Leaves At Least 98 Dead, Rescuers Trying to Reach Victims
At least 98 people have been reported dead so far in a 6.9-magnitude earthquake that struck the island of Lombok, Indonesia, late Sunday night. Rescuers said that they are battling against “massive” damage to reach people trapped in the rubble. Officials fear the death toll will rise to over 100.
At least 200 people were injured in nearby Bali, with the quake bringing down thousands of homes and buildings, according to Sky News. National Disaster Mitigation Agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said that the north of Lombok sustained “massive” damage and most of the deaths resulted from people being hit by falling rubble.

Scotland Schools to Instruct 5-Year-Olds: Your Gender Is ‘What You Decide’ It to Be

Scotland Schools to Instruct 5-Year-Olds: Your Gender Is ‘What You Decide’ It to Be
Five-year-olds in Scotland will be told in classrooms that their gender is “what you decide,” according to draft educational guidelines set to be implemented next year in Scottish public schools. The guidelines were created by the National Health Service, Education Scotland — the state education agency — and the government, The Scotsman reported. The guidelines also further the notion that a medical professional “assigns” the sex of babies at the time of birth.
“Your sex is what you are told by a doctor when you are born. Most people are told they are a male child (a boy) or a female child (a girl),” the guidelines read. “People might think they know your gender because of the clothes you wear or the things you like to do. You are a unique person, you know who you are.” Yet some government officials say this is a confusing message to send to young children and regard telling them something like this as inappropriate for their age.

Ebola is Back! 33 reported dead in Congo in new outbreak
The Ebola virus outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has killed 33 people, the World Health Organization said Sunday. An additional 43 suspected cases of Ebola were reported, including 13 confirmed by lab testing, according to WHO. The outbreak is spreading through five health zones in
North Kivu province and one health zone in Ituri province, which poses geographic and political challenges, the WHO said. North Kivu borders Rwanda and Uganda and trade activity fuels heavy movement across the borders. North Kivu also hosts over 1 million displaced people and fighting between government forces and armed militant groups makes containing the highly infectious virus a challenge.

Robot manipulates humans to bend to its will and feel sorry for it in scary vision of the future
Robots may be able to make humans bend to their will in a chilling vision of the future, a new study has found. Scientists in Germany discovered that robots already have the power to manipulate people by being friendly and making humans “feel sorry” for them. An experiment found that many people

decided not to turn of a humanoid because it told them it was scared of the dark. The groundbreaking research ruled that people tend to treat mechanoids in the same way they would treat another person – and struggle to be rude to them. A study by a team at the University of Duisburg-Esssen found this means they can be guilt-tripped.

Facebook and Apple remove pages and podcasts from Alex Jones for hate speech violations
Apple and Facebook clamped down on content by Alex Jones Monday, with the former pulling five of his podcasts and the latter removing four pages controlled by him. Apple confirmed on Monday that it had removed five out of six podcasts, which includes Jones’ infamous “The Alex Jones Show” as well as a number of other InfoWars audio streams. The news was originally reported by BuzzFeed News.
Jones, a controversial conspiracy theorist who has claimed that the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax, has been hit with other content bans from the likes of Google’s YouTube and Spotify. Spotify last week pulled several of Jones’ podcasts, citing the violation of its policies on hateful content. Apple’s move appears to be the second decision by a major music and audio streaming platform to censor such content.

Lyme disease now found in all 50 states of America
If you thought you were safe from Lyme disease because you don’t live in New England, where the tick-borne illness first appeared, think again. Now, all 50 states plus the District of Columbia have residents who have tested positive for Lyme, a bacterial infection that can cause a wide variety of symptoms,
including joint aches, fatigue, facial palsy and neck stiffness. This news comes from a report from the clinical laboratory Quest Diagnostics, which analyzed the results of 6 million blood tests doctors had ordered to diagnose Lyme disease in their patients. The report found that Pennsylvania had the most positive cases last year: 10,001.

Co-Founder of Largest Christian Music Festival Sentenced for Child Sex Abuse Charges
The former New Jersey pastor who co-founded the popular Creation Festival was sentenced Friday to 18 years in prison over charges of child sexual abuse. Harry Thomas, 75, formerly pastored Come Alive New Testament Church in Medford Township, New Jersey, and was the co-founder of what is billed as the largest Christian music festival in the United States, according to The Associated Press.
The ex-minister’s prison sentence came after he tried unsuccessfully to withdraw his guilty plea. He was ultimately sentenced for his sexual abuses against five young girls. Earlier this year, as part of a plea agreement, Thomas admitted to sexually assaulting a 9-year-old girl in 2005, having sexual relations with three girls between the ages of seven and nine in 2000 and 2010 and exposing his genitals to an underage girl between 2008 and 2010.

Crosses Being Removed, Covered in Scottish Chapels Due to Offended Non-Christians at Funeral Services
A Scottish government report has revealed that Christian crosses are being removed inside chapels during funeral services so as to not be offensive to atheists and non-Christians. The Scottish Inspector of Crematoria revealed in the July 20 report on practices and issues surrounding funerals services in the country that there are concerns over the “lack of inclusive space” for people not of the Christian faith. “There have also been concerns raised over the presence of Christian religious symbols, particularly the
‘cross’ in chapels and gardens of remembrance. There have been a number of occasions where at the request of applicants steps have been taken (where practical) to remove or conceal the cross (in chapel) for the duration of the service,” the report explained.It added that there has been discussion with the Humanist Society Scotland to address these concerns. The atheistic group has argued that its 15,000 members, along with other non-Christians in the country,

Virtual church launched for gamers
A virtual church has been launched for gamers, the pastor of which says he is reaching a people group for Christ that the traditional church does not even know exists. The Washington Post published on July 27 an interview with Matt Souza, a 27-year-old pastor from Richmond, Virginia, who is licensed through the Assemblies of God denomination and utilizes video games and a live-streaming platform called Twitch.
His church is called GodSquad, and he started it in 2016 to reach a community of individuals who tend to be atheists and dislike religion. Viewers watch the live stream of him playing games while Souza fields questions about God and the Christian faith. He also weaves in moral and ethical principles into the gaming world, urging gamers not to cuss and advises them that they not play Grand Theft Auto because of the particular kind of killing and sexual content that game promotes.

Hundreds record long-lasting bright fireball over Australia
A very bright fireball streaked across the night sky over New South Wales and Victoria, Australia around 08:30 UTC (18:30 local time) on August 4, 2018. The event lasted for more than 8 seconds and was recorded by hundreds of people. Astronomers said the object could have been between the size of a basketball and a fridge. Hundreds of people reported seeing the meteor, David Finlay of Australian Meteor Reports said.
Witnesses described a spectacular, bright orange or red to green and blue fireball. “It was traveling east to west at super speed. It had a beautiful long bright blue tail. It split in two and then vanished. I’ve spent the last hour researching fireballs and now I’m completely hooked,” Ms. Javs wrote on AMR’s Facebook page. Finlay said up to 700 people had joined his Facebook page since the sighting. “I’m very confident that this meteor was large enough to survive to the ground,” he said.

A bright daylight fireball was recorded over Western Siberia during late afternoon hours of August 4, 2018 (local time). The event lasted up to 20 seconds. The event was recorded from several towns, including Yugansk and Surgut, and reported that it landed in a remote area. According to RT, the
emergencies ministry said it’s unaware of whatever dazzled the locals. Some suggested it was a piece of a rocket burning up the atmosphere due to its entry angle and long-lasting nature. There were no planned re-entries for August 4. The event took place just a couple of hours after another long-lasting fireball streaked over eastern Australia.

5 Ways to Mentor the Next Generation in Supernatural Ministry

5 Ways to Mentor the Next Generation in Supernatural Ministry
(By Kris Vallotton) How many times have you seen a child move in the supernatural in church? I’m shocked to see that in most modern churches children are relegated to a lower seat in church. We’re missing it because Jesus himself said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not forbid them. For to such belongs the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 19:14). It’s time we begin to listen to the truth that the kingdom belongs to children too. Imagine a world where kids are empowered in the supernatural; taught to hear from and have a real, living and breathing relationship with God; and are equipped with tools to overcome the schemes of the enemy? I know the world would be a better place. And it’s our job as adults to empower little ones into the breakthrough they’re carrying. So how do we do that? Here are five things I believe we need to teach our children and grandchildren:
1. Teach them to value dreams.- I’m not talking about dreams of the heart here, although that’s also very important. What I mean is that children are very in tuned to the supernatural realm, and I know that many people start off life as night dreamers. Ask your children questions about their dreams, help them remember and unravel what God was speaking to them at night. Better yet, teach them how to interpret their own dreams and you’ll be equipping them for a lifetime of hearing God in this unique way. If you don’t know to interpret dreams, get equipped and impart your knowledge to your children.

Man Who Destroyed Arkansas Ten Commandments Monument Recalls Hearing Something ‘Inside’ Say ‘Destroy It Tonight’
An Arkansas man who destroyed a Ten Commandments monument on the grounds of the state capitol building in June 2017 says that he heard something inside impress on him, “Destroy it tonight.” Local television station KARK recently sat down with Michael Tate Reed II after he was released from the state hospital, where he was receiving treatment for mental issues. He reportedly told the outlet that he
doesn’t regret knocking down the monument with his car in the early morning hours of June 28, 2017. “So you feel like it was your calling to do this?” reporter Tyler Thomason asked. “Yes,” Tate replied. “I had to get people’s attention for what’s going on in the world.” He said that when he learned that the monument had been installed outside the capitol, something inside told him to destroy it.

This May Be Satan’s Biggest Back Door Into the Church

This May Be Satan’s Biggest Back Door Into the Church
(By Ben Godwin) It’s not unusual for bats to find refuge in a belfry (a bell tower either attached to a church steeple or another structure). In a figurative sense, to have “bats in one’s belfry” is an idiom that means to have crazy ideas, to be very peculiar, erratic or foolish. For example, if you think you can paddle across the ocean in a rowboat, you have bats in your belfry—you’re nuts! Recently, something strange happened at our house. Our double garage/basement doors were accidentally left open one evening. As dusk settled, my oldest son closed the automatic, roll-up doors unaware that a bat flew in and was trapped in the basement desperate to escape. An hour or so later, my wife and youngest son went downstairs to drive somewhere. Suddenly, I heard a commotion.
I jumped up from my office chair and ran toward the loud noise. My wife and son came running back up the stairs yelling, “There’s a bat in the basement!” Startled, because bats give me the heebie-jeebies, I grabbed a broom and warily descended the stairs. In the basement, I saw the foul animal fluttering around erratically. He made a few passes and darted toward me kamikaze style. Quickly, I ran through the basement, opened both big doors, waved the broom wildly and finally managed to shoo the creepy critter out. I climbed the stairs like a superhero who just rescued my family from certain doom and declared, “I am Batman!”

Melted asphalt and shoes for dogs as Europe hit with deadly heatwave
Europe sweltered Saturday in intense heat with temperatures due to hit near-record highs of 46 degrees Celsius (115 degrees Fahrenheit) in Portugal, while elsewhere high temperatures melted the asphalt or saw police dogs fitted with shoes. The heatwave was expected to reach its peak on Saturday, said Paula Leitao of the Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA),
with the city of Setubal not far from Lisbon due to reach highs of 46 C during the day. By way of comparison, this is not far off the 48 C expected in California’s notoriously parched and scorching Death Valley, one of the hottest places on earth, according to US forecaster AccuWeather. This comes a day after 16 weather stations in the country registered record temperatures including in Alcacer do Sal near Setubal, where the heat climbed to 45.9 C.

Anne Graham Lotz Shares Powerful End-Times Prophecy
(By Anne Graham Lotz) “Encourage the exhausted, and strengthen the feeble. Say to those with anxious heart, “Take courage, fear not. Behold, your God will come with vengeance; The recompense of God will come, But He will save you” (Isa. 35:3-4, NASB). I have not caught the headlines for the last two and a half weeks. Not at all. I never opened up the news when I was in Israel and Jordan.
I just had too many other things on my mind. I was aware there are tensions in the south border, but world news, I was oblivious to. So I came back and watched the news for as long as I could take, which was about 10 minutes. I just look at the headlines online and I’m so aware that the world is unraveling—spiritually, morally, politically, racially, socially in just about every category.

UK developing ‘Futuristic technology’ to predict terror attacks
British intelligence chiefs are developing a futuristic piece of technology that could use the vast amounts of data held online to predict when and where a terrorist attack may take place before it happens and has opened the project to computer scientists who can help create a ‘behavioural analytics’ system. Millions of pounds are being spent on the project, titled Unblinking Eye, that uses cutting-edge
identification scanners to track and monitor individuals who are deemed a security threat. The cutting-edge system, which echoes scenes from science fiction film Minority Report, where police used psychic technology to arrest murderers before they act – will analyze human behavior and make appropriate decisions to help defend the UK from attack and “avoiding dystopia”.

Trump team making final preparations for “Mideast Peace Plan”
U.S. officials say the Trump administration is staffing up a Middle East policy team at the White House in anticipation of unveiling its long-awaited but largely mysterious Israeli-Palestinian peace plan. The National Security Council last week began approaching other agencies seeking volunteers to join the team, which will work for President Donald Trump’s Mideast peace pointmen Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt, according to the officials. The team, which is being set up to organize the peace plan’s public presentation and any negotiations that may ensue,
will comprise three units: one concentrating on its political and security details, one on its significant economic focus and one on strategic communications, the officials said. The creation of a White House team is the first evidence in months that a plan is advancing. Although Trump officials have long promised the most comprehensive package ever put forward toward resolving the conflict, the emerging plan has not been described with even a small amount of detail by Kushner, Greenblatt or any other official.

Today may have been the hottest day in the history of Europe
Temperatures in Spain and Portugal soared to near-record highs Friday as part of Europe’s heat wave, and governments put emergency services on alert for forest fires. Iberia’s heat wave, caused by hot air from North Africa, is the most severe since 2003. Elsewhere, summer has brought forest fires and drought to places as far apart as Britain, Scandinavia and Greece.
Temperatures in many parts of Spain and Portugal will remain above 104 degrees Fahrenheit at least until Sunday, and could rise a further 3 or 4 degrees. That could push them above Europe’s previous record high of 118 F, set in Athens in 1977. The previous record highs in both Spain and Portugal were just over 116 F. In Portugal, local media ran stories on how temperatures could beat Death Valley in California, one of the hottest places on Earth.

Suicide ‘game’ called ‘Momo’ targets teens through social media
There’s a disturbing suicide “game” spreading through WhatsApp, Facebook and YouTube called “Momo.” And it has police and other authorities concerned around the world. The games uses as its main character, or “avatar,” the sculpted image of a woman with grotesque features and bulging eyes, taken from the work of Japanese artist Midori Hayashi, who is not associated with the game in any way.
The sculpture was nicknamed “Momo,” and the game takes it name from this. Would be “players” are encouraged to add to their contacts one of several numbers associated with the game. The game “controller” then sends violent images to the person over the messaging app, claims to know personal things about the “player,” and threatens the player if they don’t follow “orders.”

Unprecedented Algae Bloom in Florida called “ecological disaster.”, Marine life perishing on large scale
In South Florida this summer, one ecological scourge has piled on top of another. First came the red tide, a flotilla of microorganisms that dyed the sea rust and eventually stretched out along 100 miles of the Gulf Coast. Oxygen-starved fish, eels, dolphins and turtles littered beaches, in numbers too vast to count. In one marina, so many fish went belly up that they appeared to pave a walkway across the water.
The foul siege reached from Sarasota nearly to the tip of Florida by early June, when ecological insult No. 2 arrived. A green film of cyanobacteria appeared, as it regularly does in summer, in vast Lake Okeechobee. But this year the bacteria also spilled over into rivers and canals, which carried the toxic green sludge east to the Atlantic Ocean and west to the Gulf of Mexico. Already distressed Floridians gagged on the noxious odor,

‘Unprecedented’ 143 MPH ‘Fire Tornado’ reported in California…
It’s the kind of finding one would suspect from National Weather Service investigators along Tornado Alley in the wake of a deadly storm front. But it wasn’t. It was the measurement of the wind generated during the height of the firestorm that ripped through Redding last week, killing six people and damaging hundreds of homes.
On Thursday, NWS researcher combed through the wreckage left behind and determined a fire whirl — commonly known as a fire tornado — roared through the area between 7:30 p.m and 8 p.m. on July 26th. During his assessment of the battle against the Carr Fire, Gov. Jerry Brown cited the ferocity of the rarely seen phenomena. “These winds events, wind storms and tornado type behavior — some of this is unprecedented,” he told reporters.

Former Atheist Anthony Hopkins Reveals Encounter That Led Him to God
As each of us get older, questions about God, purpose and the afterlife become more pronounced. That’s certainly been the case for famed actor Anthony Hopkins. During an appearance last week at the 11th annual LEAP Conference, Hopkins explained a major turning point in his life — a moment when he abandoned his previous embrace of atheism in exchange for a belief in a higher power. The Oscar-
winning star may not be Christian, but he is clearly open to the existence of God, a shift that occurred in 1975, when during an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, a woman asked an introspective question that intrigued Hopkins. “Why don’t you just trust in God?” the woman asked Hopkins, who noted from that point forward his insatiable craving for alcohol vanished.

Virginia’s College Lake Dam Is in ‘Imminent Failure,’ Would Flood City in Minutes
All eyes are on College Lake Dam, just down from the University of Lynchburg in Virginia. Heavy rains sent water spilling over the dam, spurring fears that it could collapse, it has already prompted some home evacuations in the city of roughly 80,000 people. Authorities have evacuated parts of Lynchburg, Virginia, in preparation of what county officials report as the “imminent failure” of the College Lake Dam.
Major Tommy Carter of the Lynchburg Sheriff’s office told CBN News the community was “preparing for the worst” as they face a potentially catastrophic flooding situation. The National Weather Service reported if the dam does fail, “the water depth at Lynchburg could exceed 17 feet in 7 minutes.” Carter explained that they were already dealing with floods from days of rain – more than six inches which has gotten worse –

Evacuees Hear the Voice of God Just Before Disaster Strikes
While the California Carr fire rages on, Christian prophetic leader Pastor Shawn Bolz shared with CBN News a spiritual perspective on how God is moving through this tragedy. “I felt like the Holy Spirit said ‘pray Romans 8:28 over these fires and over these people,’ which is ‘And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose,'” Bolz said.
He said he’s been hesitant to share what he’s hearing from the Lord because there have been so many wildfires and natural disasters, but he believes a spiritual revival will be birthed from this catastrophe. He compares the Carr fire to the devastating 1906 San Francisco earthquake which caused an urgency in Christians to bring salvation to people in the city and then led to a great awakening in America and movements like the Azusa Street Revival.

Final verdict in Vegas massacre “No motive”
Las Vegas police have concluded their investigation into the Oct. 1 shooting with no clear idea of why Stephen Paddock murdered 58 people and wounded hundreds more. Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo released the Metropolitan Police Department’s final report on Friday but said investigators were not able to determine a motive for the deadliest random shooting in U.S. history.
“What we have been able to answer are the questions of who, what, when, where and how,” Lombardo said at a news briefing. “What we have not been able to definitively answer is the ‘why’ Stephen Paddock committed this act.” Paddock, 64, opened fire with high-powered rifles on concertgoers attending the Route 91 Harvest country music festival from his 32nd-floor room at the Mandalay Bay resort shortly after 10 p.m. He fitted the rifles with devices known as bump stocks so they would fire sustained bursts like automatic weapons.

Mysterious fireball streaking over US base in Greenland puzzles NASA scientist
A mysterious fireball exploding with the power of a small nuclear bomb, which was detected not far from the US air base in Greenland, has alerted a NASA space explorer. Another called for calm, saying it’s not a Russian strike. The curious tweet was released by Ron Baalke, a space explorer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in late July. “A fireball was detected over Greenland on July 25, 2018 by US government sensors at an altitude of 43.3 km,” he wrote.
The energy from the blast was estimated to be 2.1 kilotons. The information about the cosmic flotsam also bugged researcher Hans Kristensen, a director of the Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists. He said that the “meteor” exploded “above missile early warning radar at Thule Air Base,” the northernmost US base, which has operated on the island since the 1940s.

A mysterious substance has been found coming out of the ground in Melvindale, and nobody can seem to figure out where it is. Residents downriver are wondering if the material bubbling out of the ground near the Marathon refinery is from the rain. It’s oozing onto the street at Schaefer Highway between Oakwood Boulevard and I-75. Melvindale police and officials from the Detroit Water and Sewerage
Department investigated the substance, and the road was shut down. “They want the whole road shut down right now until we can figure out exactly what’s going on,” a Melvindale police officer said at the scene. The smelly, foamy mess erupted out of the ground along the highway near the refinery. Marathon told Melvindale police the substance has nothing to do with the refinery.

While some internet trolls compared the cloud to a praying mantis in a dress or Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music, others saw it as a sign from above. “Things like this make me so thankful for God’s beautiful blessings. I recently lost my mom and seeing this just made my day!” commented one person. Another said: “I take this as a Blessing from God !

According To The “Buffett Indicator”, The Stock Market Is More Primed For A Crash Than It Has Ever Been Before

According To The “Buffett Indicator”, The Stock Market Is More Primed For A Crash Than It Has Ever Been Before
(By Michael Snyder) Warren Buffett’s favorite indicator is telling us that stocks are more overvalued right now than they have ever been before in American history. That doesn’t mean that a stock market crash is imminent. In fact, this indicator has been in the “danger zone” for quite some time. But what it does tell us is that stock valuations are more bloated than we have ever seen and that a stock market crash would make perfect sense. So precisely what is the “Buffett Indicator”? Well, it is actually very simple to calculate. You just take the total market value of all stocks and divide it by the gross domestic product.
When that ratio is more than 100 percent, stocks are generally considered to be overvalued, and when that ratio is under 100 percent stocks are generally considered to be undervalued. The following comes from MSN… That being said, the Buffett Indicator, while it’s not a flawless indicator, does tend to peak during hot stock markets and bottom during weak markets. And as a general rule, if the indicator falls below 80%-90% or so, it has historically signaled that stocks are cheap. On the other hand, levels significantly higher than 100% can indicate stocks are expensive.

Atheist Group Sues West Virginia City for Reciting Lord’s Prayer at Meetings
A Wisconsin-based atheist organization has filed a lawsuit against a West Virginia city over the local government’s practice of opening official meetings with a reciting of the Lord’s Prayer. The Freedom From Religion Foundation filed the suit on Tuesday against the City of Parkersburg in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia.
In their complaint, the FFRF stated that Parkersburg cannot open its City Council meetings with the Lord’s Prayer nor can they encourage attendees to participate. “The City Council’s recitation of the Lord’s Prayer has the primary effect of both advancing religion and expressing Defendant’s preference for Christianity above all other religions and nonreligion,” read the suit.

Over 15,000 people marched in the Gay Pride Parade through Jerusalem on Thursday, partying in the shadow of a recently passed surrogacy law that excludes homosexual fathers and outraged the gay community. Waving rainbow flags emblazed with the Star of David and blasting music, throngs of
people marched through the streets of central Jerusalem amid tight police security. Same-sex couples held hands, others held signs reading “proud to be equal” and “I want to be a father.”A few dozen people demonstrated against the parade. Some held signs reading “Israel is the holy land not the homo land.” Several protesters scuffled with police and officers made four arrests, police said.

Americans Spend Most Of Their Waking Hours Staring At A Television Or Computer Screen
(By Michael Snyder) Before televisions and computers were invented, Americans didn’t spend any time staring at television and computer screens. They worked hard, raised their families, personally interacted with their communities (remember that?), and generally tried to make the world a better place. But now for many of us, the “virtual world” actually seems more real than the “real world” does. In fact, as you will see below, average Americans now spend most of their waking hours staring at a screen.
We have willingly connected ourselves to “the matrix”, and the amount of time spent connected is rising with each passing year. A report that was just put out by Nielsen found that we spend an average of 11 hours per day interacting with media… Americans now spend most of their waking hours watching TV, listening to music, using apps on their smartphones, or otherwise consuming media, a new study finds.

Mysterious algae bloom ‘whirlpool’ in the Baltic Sea is so big it could cover Manhattan
Every summer, phytoplankton spread across the northern basins of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, with blooms spanning hundreds and sometimes thousands of kilometers. NASA has revealed an incredible image of a gigantic ‘whirlpool’ of algae in the Baltic sea. Blooms this summer off of Scandinavia seem to be particularly intense.
The swirling bloom is at least 15 miles across, which means New York City’s Manhattan Island could fit inside it with a little room to spare. Researchers are unsure what is causing the strange pattern. ‘Note how the phytoplankton trace the edges of a vortex; it is possible that this ocean eddy is pumping up nutrients from the depths,‘ the agency said.

Feds Sound Cybersecurity Alarm: ‘A Cat 5 Hurricane Has Been Forecast and We Must Prepare’
Facing unprecedented cyber attacks that could cripple critical US infrastructure, the Department of Homeland Security is launching a new initiative to guard the nation’s banks, energy companies and other industries. Addressing a cybersecurity summit in New York City Tuesday, national security officials warned that not only are the nation’s power grid and economic systems vulnerable, but our very democracy is at risk.
With nearly 90 percent of our critical infrastructure in private hands – most of it interconnected – intelligence top brass said there is a growing crisis that requires government and private companies to work together. “We are in a crisis mode,” Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen told those gathered for the summit. “A Cat 5 hurricane has been forecast, and we must prepare.”

Hand, foot and mouth disease spreading across the US.
Aug 2, 2018 | 0 |
Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is spreading across the US. Outbreaks have been confirmed in Indiana, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, according to doctors’ reports. HFMD, which is different to foot and mouth in animals, is a viral infection that causes lesions to form on a sufferer’s hands, feet and mouth. Although usually not serious, the condition can be dangerous if scratched skin allows other pathogens to enter.
The infection usually affects children under 10, with adults’ immune systems typically being strong enough to prevent the virus infecting them. However last week, New York Mets ace pitcher Noah Syndergaard revealed he contracted the virus after visiting a children’s baseball camp, while New York Yankees starter JA Happ revealed he had a mild case of the condition yesterday.

Residents Nervous As Military Choppers Buzz Over Pittsburgh For Days…
“We thought it was Vietnam or MASH or something. That’s what it sounded like to me,” Davidson told KDKA political editor Jon Delano. He was hardly alone. “There was a bunch of them,” said Al Caldwell of Columbus. Delano: “Where did you hear them?” Caldwell: “At the William Penn. They were flying around the rooms and such. You could hear them running around through there.” And it wasn’t just in Downtown Pittsburgh.

“My friend told me she saw about six helicopters riding all over the Robinson area, and she was pretty nervous about it,” noted Ally Lerda of South Fayette. These choppers were flying lower than normal. The buzzing of area residences by helicopters is not something that happened right out of the blue. City officials say it’s been in the works for over a year with the Department of Defense and other agencies. The whole project began last week and is likely to end this weekend, if not sooner. So what exactly is going on here?

Canadian Man Becomes a Woman to Save Money on His Car Insurance
A man in Alberta, Canada wanted to buy a new car. He wanted a Chevrolet Cruze with all of the options. However, he couldn’t believe how high his insurance bill would go with his new car purchase. In his early 20s, the man also had an accident and a ticket or two on his driving record that helped set a high insurance premium quote to the tune of $4,500 a year.
He then asked his insurance company what the cost would be if he were a woman. He was told the cost would be $3,400. That’s when he decided to become a woman to save almost $1,100 a year. However, he didn’t have hormone treatments or surgery. He lied to the Canadian government and became a woman only on paper. According to the Insurance Bureau of Canada or IBC, men under 25 are generally at higher risk of collision than women of the same age, which means their premiums are often higher.

Mars will make rare approach to earth on Tuesday, closest in 15 years, not again until 2035
Mars will make its closest approach to earth in 15 years on Tuesday, giving stargazers a great opportunity to see the Red Planet. At just 35.8 million miles from Earth as it makes its way around the sun, Mars will appear bigger and brighter than usual, NASA reports. Every 26 months or so, Mars swings by Earth at varying distances as both planets make elliptical orbits around the sun. NASA notes
that many missions to Mars coincide with these close approaches. It should be relatively easy to spot Mars, as long as cloud cover is minimal. It will be visible much of the night, so just look for a bright star with a reddish hue. Only Venus will appear brighter. In the U.S., Mars reaches its highest point around midnight about 35 degrees above the southern horizon or one-third of the distance between the horizon and overhead, NASA notes.

It was 113 degrees, and months of above-average temperatures had left the land bone-dry and ready to explode. Within a few hours, hundreds of structures were lost and six people killed. The destruction adds to California’s worst wildfire year on record — dozens dead since October, with more than 10,000 structures lost from San Diego to Redding.
There are many reasons for the grim totals, but experts say one common denominator connects the disastrous fires: California is facing extreme heat, the likes of which it has never seen in the modern historical record. “The temperatures have just been almost inexorably warmer all the time,” said University of California, Los Angeles climate scientist Daniel Swain, and fires “burn more intensely if the fuels are extremely dry.”

New report suggests that Syria, Iraq and Turkey may soon enter “Water Wars”
The next war in the Middle East could be fought over water as Iraq, Syria and Turkey scramble to assert claims to two vital rivers that run through the region, according to a new report. Nabil al-Samman, a Syrian expert on international waters, made the case for an upcoming “water war” in an article published Friday by Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat. The article defines the term as being used to
refer in the Mediterranean to “the use of water as a weapon in order to control its sources, or the diversion of water as a commercial commodity controlled by powerful upstream states for political ends.” The piece outlines a decades-long history of difficult relations and devastating conflicts that have set the stage for a potential upcoming crisis between Syria, Iraq and Turkey. “When the sounds of guns and war drums fade in Syria and Iraq, new tensions may arise because of water, especially in their conflict with Turkey, from which the Euphrates and Tigris rivers flow,” the report read.

Weird Volcanoes Are Erupting Across the Solar System
NASA’s Juno spacecraft recently spotted a possible new volcano at the south pole of Jupiter’s most lava-licious moon, Io. But this volcanically active moon is not alone in the solar system, where sizzling-hot rocks explode and ooze onto the surface of several worlds. So how do Earthly volcanoes differ from those erupting across the rest of the solar system?
Let’s start with Io. The moon is famous for its hundreds of volcanoes, including fountains that sometimes spurt lava dozens of miles above the surface, according to NASA. This Jupiter moon is constantly re-forming its surface through volcanic eruptions, even to this day. Io’s volcanism results from strong gravitational encounters between Jupiter and two of its large moons, Europa and Ganymede, which shake up Io’s insides.

They Are Calling It “The Tech Bloodbath” – 10 Facts About This Tech Stock Crash That Will Take Your Breath Away
(By Michael Snyder) Thanks to crashing tech stocks, Americans have lost hundreds of billions of dollars in paper wealth over the past three trading days. As you will see below, we have just witnessed “the biggest market cap loss in history”, and many analysts believe that this is only just the beginning. At this point, even the mainstream media is fearing the worst. CNN is boldly proclaiming that “the tech bloodbath is here”, and there is a flood of mainstream articles giving advice to investors about how to ride out this crisis.
But the amount of money that has already been lost is absolutely huge, and it isn’t going to take much to turn this panic into a full-blown stampede. In a lot of ways, what we are watching is very reminiscent of 2001. When the original tech bubble burst, the crash was so rapid and so dramatic that many ordinary investors were not able to react in time. As I have explained so many times before, markets tend to go down a whole lot faster than they go up, and the events of the last three trading days have been completely breathtaking.

Christians being removed to create “Christian-Free Village” in India
Churchgoers are being driven out in order to create a utopian Christian-free village in India according to claims Hindu extremists are making plans to overtake the village. Hindu radicals are allegedly bullying worshippers in order to make central-west village Sangameshwar completely free of Christians. Srinivas Sapa, a pastor and 42-year-old resident of the village located in Maharashtra, told International
Christian Concern the issue has sparked “panic” among Christians living there. He said: “All that the Hindu radicals want is for Sangameshwar to be a ‘Christian-free’ village. “Of all the 50 odd Christians who are native to Sangameshwar, most were born in the village and are now panicked over the situation.” READ MORE https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/996428/christianity-india-christian-free-village-Sangameshwar-hinduism-latest

Massive hole deemed as “Gate of Hell” opens in field terrifying locals
A massive hole that has suddenly appeared in a field has been dubbed the “gate to hell” by worried locals. The hole appeared overnight in a farmer’s field near the village of Neledino in the Shatkovsky District of central Russia’s Nizhny Novgorod Oblast region. It measures 32 meters (105 feet) across and is 50 meters (164 feet) deep –
enough to swallow a 16 story building. Police were called to the scene after they were alerted by the worried farmer. Cops taped off an area around the hole to prevent people from going too close in case it gets bigger and they fell in. A police spokesman said: “The ground collapsed in an agricultural field, which belongs to a private farmer, and is only two kilometers (1.2 miles) away from nearby homes.

Charles Spurgeon’s 4 Irrefutable Keys to Church Growth
(By Larry Tomczak) Charles Spurgeon has rightly been acclaimed as the “Prince of Preachers.” Apostles, prophets, pastors, evangelists and teachers honor him as probably history’s greatest pastoral leader. Mr. Spurgeon had a megachurch before the term existed. He ministered weekly to over 10,000 in his Metropolitan Tabernacle pulpit without amplification or the benefit of social media.
Ministering over four decades, he’s considered one of Christianity’s most prolific communicators. It’s unprecedented that his 63 volumes of over 4,000 sermons are still utilized by leaders throughout the world to this day. In my 46 years of ministry, I’ve never encountered anyone like him. His incredible blending of evangelistic and pastoral ministry provides us with many insights into healthy church growth. If he were alive today and we tuned in to his podcast, he’d pass along this time-tested wisdom.

Christian Doctor Investigated by Medical Board After Retweeting Posts Opposing Transgender Ideology
A Christian conservative doctor is reportedly being investigated by the prosecutorial arm of the Medical Board of Australia for retweeting posts that were critical of “radical gender indoctrination” of children. Dr. David van Gend, a general practitioner from Toowoomba, Queensland, recently found himself in hot water months after he retweeted posts by Conservative Party Senate candidate Lyle Shelton.
One of the tweets in question featured a picture of Shelton posing at an event in Brisbane with Ryan Anderson, a senior fellow at the Washington-based Heritage Foundation and a prominent critic of transgender ideology who authored “When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment.” READ MORE https://www.christianpost.com/news/christian-doctor-investigated-by-medical-board-after-retweeting-posts-opposing-transgender-ideology-226505/

North Korea working on new missiles according to officials
North Korea appears to be building new ballistic missiles despite recent warming ties with the Trump administration and pledges to denuclearise, reports say. Unnamed US officials told the Washington Post that spy satellites had spotted continuing activity at a site that has produced ballistic missiles. Reuters quotes an official as saying it is unclear how far the work has gone.
Donald Trump met North Korea’s Kim Jong-un in Singapore in June. After the first meeting between sitting leaders from the two countries, the two men pledged to work towards denuclearisation. Mr Trump later said North Korea was “no longer a nuclear threat”. But Mr Trump was criticised at home for making concessions without securing any firm commitment from Mr Kim to end the nuclear and missile programmes.

SPREADING: Twin wildfires threatening 10,000 California homes
Twin wildfires tearing through vineyards and brushy hills threatened some 10,000 homes in Northern California Tuesday — yet another front in the seemingly endless summer of wildfires that have ravaged some of the most scenic areas of the state. The two fires straddling Mendocino and Lake counties had burned seven homes by Monday night along with some 107 square miles (277 square kilometers) of rural land.
About 100 miles (160 kilometers) north, the so-called Carr Fire that has burned more than 800 homes and killed six people has become the ninth most destructive wildfire in California history, said Scott McLean, a spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

2 Ways the Devil Loves to Entangle Us

2 Ways the Devil Loves to Entangle Us
(By Jentezn Franklin) Some of the greatest battles we face come when God has prospered us. When we have been blessed and exalted, there is a danger of life becoming overcrowded and filled with stuff that seems important but doesn’t really matter. The drift into materialism is subtle but real. When life is filled with abundant blessing, the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches can cause us to think more about our stuff and less about God. The Bible is filled with examples of people who had to reach through the crowding and the “stuff” to grab hold of Jesus. Here’s two examples:
Zacchaeus climbed a tree to see Jesus over the crowds. Zacchaeus was a rich tax collector. His life was filled with the pursuit of wealth, to the point of cheating people to enrich his own pockets. When Jesus came to town, the crowds were so huge that Zacchaeus climbed into a tree for a glimpse of Him. After talking with Jesus, he gave away half his riches to the poor and promised to repay anyone he had cheated by fourfold. (See Luke 19:1-9)
The innkeeper in Bethlehem had a business doing so well he had no room for Jesus. When Mary and Joseph knocked on his door, he said, “Sorry, Jesus, but we’re full today.” His inn was so prosperous that Jesus was crowded out. The innkeeper turned away the Savior of the world. (See Luke 2:4-7) – The devil absolutely loves to entangle us with the cares of life and enthrall us with riches.

Netflix to Make More Faith and Family Shows
Netflix announced its desire to bring more faith and family-based shows to its subscribers. Netflix Vice President Cindy Holland attended the 2018 Television Critics Association’s Summer Press Tour in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Sunday and, according to Fox News, Holland revealed their hope to provide faith and family based content. “It’s a very important audience to us,” Holland stated.
“It represents a significant percentage of the population not only here in the U.S., but around the world,” she continued, adding that she “grew up in a place that was very much steeped in those traditions.” Netflix already does feature a number of films and shows under the title, Faith & Spirituality. According to Instant Watcher, 73 pictures fall under that genre including “The Case for Christ,” “The Bible” series and “Prince of Egypt.”

Bethel Church Responds to Criticism, Explains Why It Did Not Serve as Fire Evacuation Site
Leaders of an influential Redding, California, church is responding to criticism that they did not open their building as an evacuation site as a massive wildfire forced tens of thousands of city residents to flee their homes. Bethel Church, a charismatic congregation with Assemblies of God roots and which has several thousand members, explained Monday that when the Carr fire grew worse — a blaze which has
torn through Shasta County and into parts of Redding proper since it began last week — they offered their building to be a site for evacuees, but authorities turned them down. As the flames grew, tens of thousands of Redding residents were forced to leave their homes and several churches opened their doors to shelter them, but Bethel was not among them. A flurry of irked social media postings criticizing the church ensued.

FALLING AWAY: Megachurch Pastor Says Christians Can Support Gay Marriage and Not Be Heretical
United Methodist megachurch pastor Adam Hamilton stated at a Texas gathering that Christians can support gay marriage and not be at odds with orthodoxy. In recent years, the UMC has had intense debate over the denomination’s official stance against homosexuality and same-sex marriage. Speaking at a conference organized by the group Uniting Methodists held last week at Lovers Lane United Methodist Church in Dallas,
Hamilton spoke about the authority of Scripture regarding the church body’s debate over LGBT issues. He argued that both sides of the debate within the UMC held high opinions of Scripture and that the differences were over interpretation instead. Hamilton took issue with the idea that Christians accepting same-sex marriage means that they have rejected “the historic essentials of the Christian faith.”

‘God Has Forgiven Me’: He Killed Their Kids and Grandkids, But These Families Forgave Him Through Christ
What if several members of your family were killed by the negligence of another driver? Would your faith in God allow you to forgive the driver and even ask the judge to consider the utmost leniency? Let’s be honest. It might take a bit of soul-searching for many of us to turn the other cheek as Jesus instructed all Christians to do. But that’s exactly what two families did last week in a Minnesota courtroom after praying about it.
Moved by their faith and forgiveness, the judge granted the families’ request. “Everybody makes mistakes, and he didn’t start out that day planning on killing our children,” Rick Pals told KARE-TV. Pals son’s entire family were killed in a crash on Interstate 80 near Brule on July 31, 2016. His son Jamison, 29, was driving with his wife, Kathryne, 29, and children Ezra, 3; Violet, 23 months; and Calvin, 2 months.

Europe could see hottest day ever recorded with temperatures breaking records
Brits across mainland Europe’s Mediterranean coast have been warned to take extra care as the continental heatwave threatens temperatures in the high 40s. Europe is set to experience its hottest day ever as Spain and Portugal look likely to reach 48C later this week. Spanish authorities have started making emergency preparations for the intense heatwave, which is expected to last until at least Sunday. Forecasters say the fiery “furnace”
blast from the Costas is good news for sun lovers here in the UK with temperatures tipped to hit 36C. Met Office meteorologist Nicola Maxey said: “Temperatures will increase by a couple of degrees day by day with highs in the upper 20Cs quite widely by Friday and into the low 30Cs in places at the weekend. “Warmer air will be arriving from Iberia and the Continent from the middle of the week leading to an increase in temperatures.”

Judge Says School District Must Treat Girl Who Identifies as Boy ‘Like Any Other Boy’ in Regard to Restroom Use
A federal judge appointed to the bench by then-President George W. Bush has placed an injunction on a school policy that prohibits a girl who identifies as a boy from using the mens’ restroom, declaring that under the law, she must be “treated like any other boy.” Judge Timothy Corrigan ruled on Thursday that the St. Johns County School District has no reason to prohibit the student, who goes by the name Drew
Adams, from using the boys’ restroom at Nease High School in Ponte Vedra Beach. Adams, who began presenting herself as a boy in 2015 and obtained a double mastectomy, used the boys’ restroom at the school for six weeks—until another student lodged a complaint. Officials then advised Adams that she would need to either use the girls’ restroom or a gender-neutral facility.

10 Signs That America Is In Much Worse Trouble Than We All Thought…
(By Michael Snyder) You may find it difficult to believe some of the things that I am about to share with you. Instinctively, most of us know that America is in trouble, but recently it has been impressed upon me that things are much worse than I originally believed. Our cities are becoming cesspools, our nation is falling apart all around us, and it seems like the number of sick, twisted and depraved people is multiplying.
We still have a relatively high standard of living for the moment, but the only reason we can maintain that standard of living is because we are on the greatest debt binge in human history. And once that bubble bursts, I fear for what this nation is going to become, because things are getting really bad out there. The following are 10 signs that America is in much worse trouble than we all thought…

Government Shutters More Than 8000 Churches
The Rwanda Governance Board continues to close churches it says fail to meet requirements laid down at the beginning of the year. New requirements set in place for those congregations that want to continue ministry are also complicating efforts to comply. Many see the closures as part of an effort by the government to make its aggressive secular stance clear. According to a report by Rwanda’s pro-
government KT Press, more than 8,000 churches have now been closed, and the number keeps growing. “On checking which churches were included, we learned that all churches are suffering the same fate, and that even churches considered luxurious for local standards have had to close,” a local analyst, who wished to remain anonymous, told World Watch Monitor. World Watch Monitor learned that in one village the church was closed while a wedding was ongoing.

Exposing Lust’s Seductive Scheme to Destroy Your Life

Exposing Lust’s Seductive Scheme to Destroy Your Life
(By Dr. Doug Weiss) Lust is an absolute liar! It is conniving and out to destroy you, your family and your legacy. The lie is that lust is your friend, when in fact it is more like a scam artist or perpetrator. Lust comes to you as a friend during your adolescence or young adulthood. Acting as though it understands your problems, lust will distract you from the pain of your failures and inadequacies and even support you through breakups of romantic relationships. This lie wants you to depend on its escape, comfort and medicine.
Lust is like the guy at work who is always being nice and complimenting the single mom, so eventually, he can manipulate her. Lust has been a friend with false motives toward you. Lust has unconditionally accepted you, accepted your sexual thoughts without question and let you enjoy the sanctuary of a false secret life with it. Remember, none of this is real or true. But as an adolescent, you buy it hook, line and sinker.

Worst red tide since 2006 leaves ‘unprecedented’ number of dead animals in Florida
The worst red tide event in more than a decade has left droves of dead animals, including an “unprecedented” number of sea turtles, on Southwest Florida beaches. According to the Fort Myers News-Press, scores of sea turtles have been collected in Lee and Collier counties over the past week. Hundreds of others may have also died from “this particularly strong red tide event.”
“We took in four new sea turtles yesterday,” Heather Barron, director of the veterinarian hospital at the Center for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife on Sanibel, told the newspaper. “Two very large adult male loggerheads and each were over 200 pounds and both were very consistent with red tide poisoning. We also took in a Kemp’s ridley juvenile and it was showing signs of red tide poisoning, and we also took in a juvenile loggerhead.”

Saudi King Tells U.S. That Peace Plan Must Include East Jerusalem as Palestinian Capital
Saudi Arabia and other key Arab countries have told the Trump administration they won’t be able to support its plan for Israeli-Palestinian peace if it doesn’t include a Palestinian capital in East Jerusalem. The Saudi position was first reported by Reuters on Sunday, and was later confirmed to Haaretz by two diplomats involved in conversations on the peace plan.
The Saudi position was expressed by King Salman during a number of recent communications with senior U.S. officials, as well as in conversations with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and other Arab leaders in the region. It contradicts many media reports over the past year about a Saudi willingness to adopt Trump’s peace plan even if it is unacceptable to the Palestinians.

One in five young people aged 18-24 doesn’t know what an STI is, according to a new survey. The survey of over 1,000 youngsters, carried out by charity The Mix , looked into the sexual behaviors and awareness of STIs among youngsters in the UK. The results revealed that 36 percent of respondents had
never been tested for an STI, with 20 percent admitting they don’t really understand what an STI is. Of those who have never had an STI test, 44 percent felt they didn’t need to get tested because they always used protection, while 20 percent said they were too embarrassed to get tested.

West Nile virus spreading in Europe with more than 10 cases of respiratory disease found in Italy
A life-threatening West Nile virus outbreak is sweeping through Italy via mosquitos, with one death and 11 other infections already reported. Authorities are struggling to contain the infection with three areas already testing positive for the virus – Jesolo, Caorle and Ceggia. All three had already been decontaminated, meaning the outbreaks are moving faster than tests and disinfestations.
A 77-year-old man died yesterday after he contracted an infected mosquito bite in Cento, near Bologna in northern Italy. He had originally been admitted to hospital for a fall on Tuesday, July 24, but his condition deteriorated and he was transferred to a specialist hospital 60 miles away in Cona, where he was diagnosed with West Nile meningoencephalitis. He died four days later.

Messiah-Mania Reaches Fever Pitch In Israel

Messiah-Mania Reaches Fever Pitch In Israel
Messiah-mania has reached a fever pitch in Israel, as one prominent rabbi says the prophesied redeemer was born a week ago, while a group promoting the rebuilding of the Temple released a new TV spot saying, “The time has arrived.” Meanwhile, a group of Muslims clashed Friday with Israeli police on the Temple Mount. Maybe it’s the blood moons. Maybe it’s the new U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem. Or, maybe, suggest other rabbis, now that the majority of Jews in the world now live in Israel, prophecy is read to be fulfilled.
Perhaps the most surprising development is a statement by a well-respected Israeli rabbi, Chaim Kanievsky, a leading authority in Haredi Jewish society, stating unequivocally that the Messiah was born July 21. Kanievsky, hailed as one of the leading rabbis of his generation, wrote a book, “Siach Nechama,” or “A Comforting Discourse,” that claims the Messiah is alive today and when Israel merits it, he will immediately reveal himself.”

Judge Orders Wisconsin to Pay for Gender Reassignment Surgeries
A federal judge has ordered Wisconsin to pay for the gender reassignment surgery for two transgender Medicaid recipients. Cody Flack, 30, and Sara Ann Makenzie, 41, filed a lawsuit in April, saying a state rule denying coverage for surgeries to treat gender dysphoria violates the Affordable Care Act and their right to equal protection, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.
The state rule that excludes coverage for undefined “transsexual surgery” was adopted in 1996. U.S. District Judge William Conley granted a preliminary injunction Wednesday barring enforcement of the rule. He suggested the injunction could be expanded to include any transgender Medicaid patient whose doctor recommends the surgery.

Monday it enters its 16th week. “There’s no signs of stopping. Lord willing, we’ll start up week number 16 on Monday night,” said evangelist D.R. Harrison of Voice of Hope Ministries. “As of
today (Friday), there’s been over 400 people walk an aisle and trust Christ and from all denominations, all walks of life.” “Alcoholics, drug addicts… people coming and giving their heart to Christ,” Harrison continued. The evangelist said so far people from 178 churches and 17 states have attended services under the big tent. “It’s just amazing; it continues to build momentum, and that is the thing that is so amazing,” he said.

Pieces of mantle found rising under north and south ends of Cascadia fault

Pieces of mantle found rising under north and south ends of Cascadia fault
With four years of data from 268 seismometers on the ocean floor and several hundred on land, researchers have found anomalies in the upper mantle below both ends of the Cascadia Subduction Zone. They may influence the location, frequency and strength of earthquake events along the U.S. Pacific Northwest. The anomalies, which reflect regions with lower seismic wave velocities than elsewhere beneath the fault line, point to pieces of the Earth’s upper mantle that are rising and buoyant
because of melting rock and possibly elevated temperatures, said Miles Bodmer, a University of Oregon doctoral student who led a study now online as an accepted paper by the journal Geophysical Research Letters. The 620-mile subduction zone, which hasn’t experienced a massive lengthwise earthquake since 1700, is where the Juan de Fuca ocean plate dips under the North American continental plate. The fault zone stretches just offshore from northern Vancouver Island to Cape Mendocino in northern California.

Pieces of mantle found rising under north and south ends of Cascadia fault
With four years of data from 268 seismometers on the ocean floor and several hundred on land, researchers have found anomalies in the upper mantle below both ends of the Cascadia Subduction Zone. They may influence the location, frequency and strength of earthquake events along the U.S. Pacific Northwest.

Tornadoes of Fire Witnessed in California Wildfire
A wildfire that roared with little warning into a Northern California city claimed two lives as thousands of people scrambled to escape before the walls of flames descended from forested hills onto their neighborhoods, officials said Friday. Residents who gathered their belongings in haste described a chaotic and congested getaway as the embers blew up to a mile ahead of flames and the fire leaped across the wide Sacramento River and torched subdivisions in Redding, a city of 92,000 about 100 miles south of the Oregon border.
“I’ve never experienced something so terrifying in my life,” said Liz Williams, who loaded up two kids in her car and then found herself locked in bumper-to-bumper traffic with neighbors trying to retreat from Lake Redding Estates. She eventually jumped the curb onto the sidewalk and “booked it.” “I didn’t know if the fire was just going to jump out behind a bush and grab me and suck me in,” Williams said. “I wanted out of here.” The blaze leveled at least 125 homes, leaving neighborhoods smoldering and 37,000 people under evacuation orders.

DEVELOPING: Deadly California wildfire ‘taking down everything in path’
A raging wildfire in Northern California that swelled in size overnight has killed two people and injured at least three firefighters, officials said Friday. The Carr Fire in Shasta County has since claimed the lives of a bulldozer operator and a city of Redding firefighter, according to officials from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, the U.S. National Park Service and the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office.
The “mechanical failure of a vehicle” ignited the blaze in Whiskeytown Monday, officials said. The fire had burned an area of more than 44,000 acres by Friday morning, with a containment of just 3 percent. The flames ripped through northwest Shasta County then spread southeast, sweeping across the Sacramento River overnight and roaring toward the city limits of Redding, which is home to 92,000.

Facebook freezes Alex Jones’ account for 30 days…
A mere matter of days after InfoWars founder Alex Jones received yet another YouTube strike— but wasn’t banned — he’s been hit with a 30-day block on Facebook. Jones received another strike on YouTube this week for violating community guidelines in four videos, which have since been taken down. A Facebook spokesperson confirmed in an email that the social network has enforced a 30-day time out for Jones after he was found to have violated Facebook’s Community Standards.
“Our Community Standards make it clear that we prohibit content that encourages physical harm [bullying], or attacks someone based on their religious affiliation or gender identity [hate speech],” said a Facebook spokesperson. “We remove content that violates our standards as soon as we’re aware of it. In this case, we received reports related to four different videos on the Pages that InfoWars and Alex Jones maintain on Facebook,” the spokesperson continued.

Mystery continues to surround Arctic Siberia as day turned to complete darkness for 3 hours in Russia
Even though they should have 24 hour light at this time of year, the remote Eveno-Bytantaisky, Zhigansky, and Verkhozansky districts in Siberia, Russia saw their day turn into a ‘complete darkness’ for almost three hours on Friday, July 20, 2018. The region was hit by bizarre darkness between 11:30 and 14:00 local time Friday, with Eveno-Bytantaisky and Zhigansky first reporting the mysterious
phenomenon. Reports received over the next couple of days also included the district of Verkhoyansky, making the territory affected by the mysterious darkness larger than Italy, The Siberian Times reports. “I couldn’t see a thing without switching lights on. We took torches to walk outside, but no-one wanted to be on the street because the feeling was as if something heavy in the air was pressing on your chest”, said one resident. “At first it looked like it was a strong thunderstorm coming,” one eyewitness said.

Appeals Court Rules California School Board’s Prayers at Public Meetings Violate Establishment Clause
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a lower court ruling declaring that a California school board violated the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution by presenting predominantly Christian prayers during public meetings. “The policy and practice of prayer at Chino Valley Board meetings violates the Establishment Clause. The scope of injunctive relief is appropriate because it merely
prohibits governmental action that violates the Constitution and does not infringe upon constitutional rights,” wrote a unanimous three-judge panel, consisting of Judges M. Margaret McKeown, Kim McLane Wardlaw and Wiley Y. Daniel. All three judges were appointed to the bench by then-President Bill Clinton. The ruling leaves in place an injunction prohibiting the Chino Valley Unified School District Board of Education “from conducting, permitting or otherwise endorsing school-sponsored prayer in board meetings.”

Indiana Bus Company Sued for Barring Pro-Life Ad
A pro-life group has filed a lawsuit against an Indiana-based bus company for barring an ad featuring three images of a baby due to it being labeled “political.” Tippecanoe County Right to Life filed the suit against the Greater Lafayette Public Transportation Corporation, also called CityBus, on Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana. TC Right to Life is being represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative legal firm that has won multiple cases at the United States
Supreme Court level. The lawsuit argued that by rejecting the ad, CityBus engaged in “government discrimination against protected speech due to the viewpoint expressed.” “By rejecting TCRTL’s educational ad while accepting other educational ads and ads that are explicitly political, CityBus violated TCRTL’s constitutional rights and discriminated against TCRTL by denying it equal access to CityBus’s advertising forum,” read the complaint.

Vanuatu reimposes state of emergency amid volcanic eruptions
Vanuatu has reimposed a state of emergency and ordered compulsory evacuations as thick volcanic eruptions blanket the island. The threat level of Manaro volcano on Ambae Island was raised from two to three on Saturday by the country’s Meteorological and Geo-Hazards Department. Foreign Minister Ralph Regenvanu on Friday tweeted: “On the eve of the 38th anniversary of independence, the cabinet has reimposed the state of emergency and ordered the compulsory evacuation of the entire population of
Ambae.” Numerous villagers have already been evacuated, with Vanuatu’s Red Cross reporting several villages have become uninhabitable. The NGO is providing humanitarian assistance. “We tried to travel to the south today but we have to turn back, because trees are falling, visibility is very very poor, we cannot see far more than two meters,” said Vanuatu Red Cross Disaster Management Coordinator Augustin Garae on social media.

Pastor Says UK Needs New Free Speech Law Protecting Bible Reading in Public After His Arrest
A Christian preacher from East London who was arrested last week and banned from preaching outside St. Paul’s Cathedral, says the U.K.’s Parliament needs to pass a new law protecting the right to proclaim the Bible in public. Allen Coote, a 55-year-old bus driver who was reported to authorities by church staff, is backing a new campaign stared by the U.K.-based religious freedom group Barnabas Fund to
urge the country’s Parliament to enact a new law to protect the right to publicly preach from the Bible, according to Premier. Martin Parsons, the charity’s head of research, has said, “One of the first aspects of freedom of religion to be established in England was the freedom to read the Bible in public. A Royal decree specifically forbade clergy from stopping anyone reading the Bible in public. Now St. Paul’s Cathedral is trying to stop someone reading the Sermon on the Mount in public.”

Worms unfrozen after 42,000 years are alive and eating
Two worms that have been frozen in permafrost for up to 42,000 years have come back to life, and are now considered the oldest living animals on the planet, in what is being described as a major scientific breakthrough. The ancient nematodes (aka roundworms) are “moving and eating” again for the first time since the Pleistocene age, after coming back to life in Petri dishes, according to a new study by a team of Russian scientists in collaboration with Princeton University.
“We have obtained the first data demonstrating the capability of multicellular organisms for longterm cryobiosis in permafrost deposits of the Arctic,” wrote the study’s authors. Some 300 prehistoric worms were defrosted in a laboratory at The Institute of Physico-Chemical and Biological Problems of Soil Science in Moscow and analyzed for the study. Two females have since “showed signs of life” in a small –but groundbreaking– victory for the researchers involved. READ MORE https://www.rt.com/news/434375-frozen-worms-alive-siberia-permafrost/

Trump Blasts Twitter ‘Shadow Banning’ as ‘Illegal,’ Threatens Action
President Trump threatened social media giant Twitter with an investigation Thursday over the reported “shadow banning” of prominent conservatives. “Twitter ‘SHADOW BANNING’ prominent Republicans. Not good. We will look into this discriminatory and illegal practice at once! Many complaints,” Trump tweeted.
Vice News reported this latest shadow banning less than a week after a House committee questioned the heads of Twitter, Facebook and YouTube over the censorship of conservatives. “Twitter is limiting the visibility of prominent Republicans in search results — a technique known as ‘shadow banning’ — in what it says is a side effect of its attempts to improve the quality of discourse on the platform,” Vice reported.

How the New World Order Weaponized Social Media to Advance Its Agenda

How the New World Order Weaponized Social Media to Advance Its Agenda
(By Michael Snyder) In 2018, we have seen an unprecedented crackdown on anti-establishment voices on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. When they were first created, these social media platforms were essentially neutral, and they really did greatly contribute to the marketplace of ideas. But now there is a tremendous effort to censor voices that are a threat to the establishment, and in recent months we have witnessed the greatest purge of conservative voices in the history of the internet.
Anything that does not conform to the agenda of the elite is being labeled as “hate speech,” and countless anti-establishment voices have had social media accounts either “shadow banned” or terminated completely. Needless to say, this could dramatically affect the outcome of the elections in November. And it isn’t just political voices that are being silenced. As you will see at the end of this article, Facebook has been shutting down dozens and dozens of alternative health pages.

Artificial intelligence begins diagnosing patients in Iowa…
The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics has become the first to employ new technology — developed by a company rooted in the university’s research engine — that uses artificial intelligence to diagnose an eye disease. On June 12, the Diabetes and Endocrinology Center at UI Health Care-Iowa River Landing in Coralville began using technology developed by IDx, the Coralville-based medical diagnostics company.
The device, which received approval from U.S. Food and Drug Administration in April, was developed to diagnose diabetic retinopathy, a diabetes complication that can cause blindness. Called IDx-DR, the device uses software and a retinal camera to take images of a patient’s retina. From there, the AI analyzes the patient’s images “the same way I do as a clinician” to determine if the patient has the condition, said Dr. Michael Abramoff, president and director of IDx and UI Health Care ophthalmologist.

Christians in Iran Seized from Homes, Including Violent Imprisonment of Pastor
Three Christians in Iran were arrested from their homes today and yesterday following the violent arrest of pastor Yousef Nadarkhani on Sunday (July 22), according to advocacy group Middle East Concern (MEC). Pastor Nadarkhani, a convert from Islam like the others arrested, was awaiting a summons to begin a 10-year prison sentence after his appeal of a conviction for “propagating house churches” and
promoting “Zionist Christianity” was upheld in May. “Around 10 police officers arrived at the house and physically assaulted Yousef’s son when he opened the door to them,” MEC reported. “Both Yousef and his son were tasered, despite offering no resistance. The manner of their arrest was probably an attempt to intimidate the Christian community, but their friends report that the church has not given in to fear.”

Jiangxi Churches Asked to Replace Crosses With Flag, Image of Chinese President
Churches across Jiangxi received a warning from local authorities in early July, demanding that they dismantle their crosses, replace them with either an image of Chinese President Xi Jinping or the national flag, and keep their children away from church. In Xinyu—a city within Jiangxi—alone, more
than 100 churches received this announcement, triggering fear in many. Some Christians are too frightened to speak up; however, others openly refuse to follow the orders. In retaliation, government agents forcibly demolished one church’s cross, and another received a notice stating the government intended to do so. On Sunday morning, two officials interrupted a village worship service at Kaixuan Church and demanded that the congregants no longer display their cross.

UPDATE: 79 Killed in Deadliest Wildfires to Hit Greece in Decades
The death toll from two big wildfires raging on the outskirts of Athens, Greece, has risen to at least 79, making this fire season the deadliest in decades, a spokesman for the Greek government says. Authorities reportedly found 26 bodies believed to be groups of family members or friends huddled together on a seaside cliff, some of them hugging. Small children were among those 26 victims, according to Al Jazeera.
“Instinctively, seeing the end nearing, they embraced,” Nikos Economopoulos told Skai TV, as reported by Al Jazeera. Fire authorities said Tuesday that at least 156 adults and 16 children have been hospitalized with injuries. Many are in serious condition. “There was a great panic because the whole street was blocked by cars,” said Theodoros Christopoulos. “Shouting, hysteria, they could see the fire was coming with the wind. It already smelled a lot, the sky was black overhead and in no time at all the fire was here.”

By: World Israel News Staff
Just days after Iran’s proxy in Yemen, the Houthi rebel group, attacked a Saudi commercial vessel heading for Egypt, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Tehran that an international coalition, including Israel, is prepared to respond to further provocation.
“Earlier this week, we witnessed a sharp clash with Iran’s satellites who tried to sabotage international shipping in the Straits at the mouth of the Red Sea,” Netanyahu announced at a naval officer graduation event, reported Haaretz.
The incident to which Netanyahu referred involved a Saudi tanker delivering a massive shipment of oil to Egypt, which came under missile fire from Houthi rebels based in Yemen. The rebels immediately took credit for the attack.

IDF kills 7 ISIS terrorists on northern border

The IDF killed 7 ISIS terrorists on its northern border with Syria.
By: World Israel News Staff
An IDF aircraft on Wednesday night fired towards several armed ISIS terrorists in the southern Syrian Golan Heights, killing seven of them.
Following searches conducted Thursday morning, explosive belts and five AK-47 assault rifles were found in the area.
“The IDF is on high alert and is prepared for a variety of scenarios. The IDF will continue to operate to ensure the security of the citizens of Israel,” the army stated after the dramatic event.

Military spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus said that the IDF tracked the armed persons approaching the border and that a military aircraft struck as they attempted to cross a security fence on the Israeli side.
IDF Spokesman Ronen Manelis said the terrorists were Islamic State (ISIS) jihadists in Syria. They were struck in an overnight Israeli airstrike less than 200 meters from the Israeli border.
According to Manelis, there was no imminent threat to Israeli communities along the northern border. He did not indicate whether the jihadists intended to attack IDF targets nearby.

Salah al-Arouri, considered the mastermind of Hamas terrorist operations in Judea and Samaria, including the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers in 2014, is in Gaza for high-level discussions.
By: World Israel News Staff
Three senior Hamas leaders, including Salah al-Arouri, are slated to arrive in Gaza from Egypt Thursday for what has been termed “a major decision-making meeting.”
Al-Arouri is considered the mastermind of Hamas’s terrorist activities in Judea and Samaria and an important point-man with Iran. The other two Hamas terrorists are Mousa Abu Marzouk, a senior member of Hamas’s politburo, and Hassan Badran, a Hamas spokesman.
The three men are part of a larger contingent already in Gaza that is expected to discuss a potential ceasefire with Israel and a reconciliation agreement with Fatah. They have already held discussions with Egyptian intelligence officers and representatives of Fatah in Cairo.
The arrival of Al-Arouri, deputy to Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, is considered rare. Al-Arouri is said to be the mastermind of a number of Hamas-planned terrorist attacks in Judea and Samaria, including the abduction and murder of three Israeli teenagers — Eyal Yifrach, Gilad Shaar, Naftali Fraenkel — in June 2014.
Al-Arouri plays a central role in relations between Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran, and has even spent the past few months in Beirut.
Here is a video of him extolling the importance of Iran’s support for Hamas:

In a first, some 30 members of the Palestinian Authority’s security forces were allowed by Israel to enter parts of the Jewish areas of Hebron armed and in uniform, according to a Times of Israel report Tuesday.
The Palestinian Authority’s (PA) official news agency Wafa stated that the men were from the PA police and National Security Forces.
“The tour was symbolic, but we hope that it foreshadows us establishing a permanent presence there in the near future,” said an official from the office of the mayor of the Palestinian part of the city in the report, explaining that this would be good for the civilians in the area.

For the first time since 2014, UN peacekeepers will return to the border separating Israel and Syria, Russia’s Defense Ministry said.
By: AP
UN peacekeepers returned on Thursday to patrol the frontier between Syria and Israel for the first time in years, Russia’s Defense Ministry announced — Moscow’s latest achievement in efforts to negotiate a solution to the crisis along the volatile border.

Col. Gen. Sergei Rudskoy of the Russian General Staff told reporters at a press conference in Moscow that the UN peacekeepers, aided by Russian forces, conducted their first patrolling mission in the area earlier in the day.
The development also marked the first time that Russian forces, a major ally of the Damascus government, were involved in the patrols.
The peacekeeping mission was halted back in 2014 amid the violence in Syrian’s civil war over security concerns.
“As the situation stabilizes, these posts will be handed over to Syrian government forces,” Rudskoy told reporters.

The Defense Minister said that Israel was halting the supply of petroleum and natural gas to Gaza in response to incendiary balloons that have targeted southern Israel.
By: AP
Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman said in a statement on Wednesday night that Israel would terminate fuel supplies to Gaza through the Kerem Shalom because of “continued terror of flaming balloons and friction on the border.”
He says the measure starts Thursday.
Israel temporarily suspended fuel shipments to Gaza in July for similar reasons.
Incendiary balloons and kites, many set off during border protests organized by Gaza’s militant Hamas group, have caused fires that have devastated southern Israel’s farmland and forests.
Israel and Egypt have maintained a crippling decade-long blockade since Hamas seized Gaza in 2007. Fuel shortages have left Gaza with limited electricity supply.
Hamas has refused to seriously clamp down on groups of terrorists operating in Gaza that are responsible for the arson attacks.

Facebook Blocks Barely-Clothed Crucified Jesus Painting for Being Too ‘Indecent’
Facebook has blocked several posts of paintings by Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens, including one of a bare-chested crucified Jesus Christ, apparently for being too “indecent.” The Flemish tourist board, Toerisme Vlaanderen, wrote an open letter to Facebook’s Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg, criticizing the social media giant’s policy of taking down artistic images of semi and full nudity, after several of its
posts in a promotional series were taken down. The open letter, shared on Sunday, explained: “Indecent. This the word used to describe the breast, buttocks and cherubs of Peter Paul Rubens. Not by us, but by you. The bare breasts and buttocks painted by our artists are considered by you to be inappropriate. We have noticed that Facebook consistently rejects works of art by our beloved Peter Paul Rubens.”

Evangelicals Warn Mary Has ‘Taken Jesus’ Place on the Cross’ as Millions Seek Miracles in France
As millions of people travel to Lourdes, France, every year in search of divine healing, some evangelical missionaries are warning that at the holy site venerated by Catholics, many are revering the Virgin Mary more than Jesus Christ. “For followers of Jesus Christ, the atmosphere in Lourdes is dark and discouraging.
Christians know that it is ‘the Lord who heals you’ (Exodus 15:26). The determination and expectation of 6 million pilgrims a year feels overwhelming,” Pioneers, a missions agency that is based in Florida but has offices worldwide, said last week. One Pioneers member in Lourdes said: “In my town Mary takes Jesus’ place on the cross. People come from far and wide to bring honor to her, to ask her for healing, to pray to her.

Liquid water lake found on Mars called “Game Changer”
Scientists have uncovered a “a stable body of liquid water” on Mars, in what some are calling a “game changer” in the search for alien life. What is believed to be liquid water is sitting below Mars’ southern polar ice cap and is described as a “well-defined, 20-kilometer-wide zone.” 20 kilometers is roughly 12.5 miles. The findings, which are published in the journal Science, were made possibly by Mars Advanced
Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding (MARSIS), an instrument that resides on the Mars Express spacecraft. MARSIS surveyed Mars’ Planum Australe region between May 2012 and December 2015 and utilized radar pulses, sending them through the surface and the polar ice caps, ultimately measuring how the radio waves came back.

Hundreds of Galah birds mysteriously fall from the sky in Burra, Australia
About 200 galahs have been found dead in the South Australian town of Burra, prompting investigations by the state’s Department for Environment and Water and the local council. Dead birds started turning up in the historic Mid North town last Wednesday, with numbers increasing to about 200 by Monday, according to Animal Rescue and Care co-ordinator Ruth Norris.
A Facebook post featuring some of the deceased creatures by Ms Norris has been shared more than 1,600 times. She said the birds otherwise looked healthy and it was not obvious how they had died. “We’re hoping to send some off to PIRSA [Primary Industries and Regions SA] or a lab to get tested.

Japan classifies heatwave as ‘natural disaster’ as hottest temperatures ever recorded claim 80 lives
Japan’s weather agency has declared a heatwave sweeping the country a natural disaster, with at least 65 deaths recorded in the past week. An agency spokesman warned that “unprecedented levels of heat” were being seen in some areas. More than 22,000 people have been taken to hospital with heat stroke, nearly
half of them elderly, officials say. On Monday, the city of Kumagaya reported a temperature of 41.1C (106F), the highest ever recorded in Japan. The heatwave shows no sign of abating, forecasters say. In central Tokyo, temperatures over 40C were also registered for the first time.

Israel draws red line with Russia
Following this week’s dramatic escalation of tensions along the Syrian border, Israel has reportedly refused a Russian offer to keep Iranian forces some 60 miles away from Israel’s front door.

According to officials, Israel is demanding that exactly zero Iranian forces be allowed anywhere in Syria period. This is a red line that is driving a wedge into Israeli-Russian relations.

Southern California home sales crash, A warning sign to the nation
Southern California home sales hit the brakes in June, falling to the lowest reading for the month in four years. Sales of both new and existing houses and condominiums dropped 11.8 percent year over year, as prices shot up to a record high, according to CoreLogic. The report covers Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, Ventura, San Bernardino and Orange counties. Sales fell 1.1 percent compared with May, but the average change from May to June, going back to 1988, is a 6 percent gain.

The weakness was especially apparent in sales of newly built homes, which were 47 percent below the June average. Part of that is that builders are putting up fewer homes, so there is simply less to sell. “A portion of last month’s year-over-year sales decline reflects one less business day for deals to be recorded compared with June 2017,” noted Andrew LePage, a CoreLogic analyst.

‘We Don’t Trust Russia’: Nikki Haley Lowers the Boom on Putin, Puts Iran on Notice
In an exclusive interview with CBN News, US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley says the United States will never trust Russia and Vladimir Putin. “We don’t trust Russia; we don’t trust Putin; we never will,” Ambassador Haley says. “They’re never going to be our friend. That’s just a fact.” However, Haley, who conducted the interview at CBN’s DC Bureau ahead of her Monday night keynote address to
Christians United for Israel, does acknowledge the need for dialogue. “What I do think is, whether it’s the president sitting down with [North Korea’s Dictator] Kim or whether the president sits down with Putin, those are things that have to happen,” she said. “You can’t get to the end of the other side if you don’t have those conversations.”

‘We Stand With Israel’: Nikki Haley Cites Her Faith in Jesus as Reason for Support of Israel
United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley delivered the keynote address before an audience of thousands at the Christians United for Israel Summit in DC Monday night. The crowd honored Haley with a standing ovation as CUFI founder Pastor John Hagee presented her with the Defender of Israel Award. “Each year the leadership of CUFI elects the one person in America that we feel has done the most to defend and protect Israel.
We are delighted and highly honored to present this award to Ambassador Haley,” Hagee said as he gave her a golden plaque. Haley is known as a loud defender of Israel at the United Nations – a place she refers to as the “global epicenter of anti-Semitism.” “The United Nations is an interesting place. There are times when it can be a force for good,” she said. “The UN can also be an enormously frustrating and bizarre place. Nowhere is that more pronounced than in the truly awful way that the UN has treated Israel for decades”

Death Valley sees 127 Degrees
Scorching heat radiated across the U.S. Southwest on Tuesday, setting record highs in California’s Death Valley, Thermal and Palm Springs in a week that forecasters say could prove to be the region’s hottest this year. The National Weather Service said a new high of 127 degrees (52.7 Celsius) was set at California’s Death Valley. Weather service forecaster Chris Outler in Las Vegas said the record broke the previous one of 126 (52 Celsius) registered for the day in 1916.
He said Las Vegas reached a high of 112 (44 Celsius) on Tuesday, but that wasn’t a record for the day. The weather service said other record highs set Tuesday included 122 (50 Celsius) in Thermal, in California’s Coachella Valley, and 121 (49.4 Celsius) in Palm Springs. Forecaster Andrew Deemer said the Phoenix high of 116 (46 Celsius) on Tuesday was tied with the previous record set in 2014.

Groundbreaking discovery: Who may have built Stonehenge finally revealed
Wikipedia
Scientists say that cremated remains may hold the key to unlocking the truth behind England’s greatest mystery: who built Stonehenge?
New studies on the cremated remains of 25 Neolithic people buried at the site show that nearly half of them lived nowhere near the now world-famous monument.

READ MORE: Great Pyramid of Giza can concentrate electromagnetic energy - study

Ten of those cremated originated from western Britain, with five of those ten potentially from southwest Wales, where the rock type of the earliest Stonehenge monoliths originate from. The other 15 people may be local in the Wiltshire and Stonehenge area, or even the children or other relatives from the west.MORE https://www.rt.com/uk/434932-scientists-reveal-origins-stonehenge/?



Fukushima’s nuclear signature found in California wine
The Japanese nuclear disaster bathed north America in a radioactive cloud. Now pharmacologists have found the telltale signature in California wine made at the time. Throughout the 1950s, the US, the Soviet Union, and others tested thermonuclear weapons in the Earth’s atmosphere. Those tests released vast quantities of radioactive material into the air and triggered fears that the nuclear reactions could
ignite deuterium in the oceans, thereby destroying the planet in a catastrophic accidental fireball. Atmospheric tests ended in 1980, when China finished its program, but the process has left a long-lasting nuclear signature on the planet. One of the most obvious signatures is cesium-137, a radioactive by-product of the fission of uranium-235.

Ethiopian Preacher Arrested After Failing to Raise Man From Dead
A self-proclaimed Ethiopia prophet who convinced family members to dig up the body of a recently deceased man, only for him to fail in resurrecting him, has been arrested following outrage by the relatives. The preacher, Getayawkal Ayele, was attempting to recreate Jesus Christ’s resurrection of
Lazarus, as found in the Bible, when he lay on top of the diseased man, Belay Biftu, shouting “Belay, wake up,” as reported by BBC News. Ayele was unable to resurrect the man, and several family members fainted at the scene while others attacked him, outraged over what had happened. The police then arrived and arrested the prophet, saving him from the crowd at the same time.

If a user of Google Translate keys in “dog” 19 times, when translating from Maori to English, a message about the end times and the return of Jesus will appear. “Doomsday Clock is three minutes at twelve,” Google Translate’s translation reads. “We are experiencing characters and a dramatic developments in the world, which indicate that we are increasingly approaching the end times and Jesus’ return.”
The Maori language is the tongue of the indigenous people of New Zealand. Although this is not the first unusual output to appear in the language interpretation utility, this particular rendering has struck many as odd and was reportedly first discovered by Motherboard, a publication of Vice.

End-Times Prophetic Alert: Will Muslim Palestinians Ever Agree to Peace With Israel?
Last week, Israel’s Knesset passed another controversial “Basic Law,” enshrining Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people and Jerusalem as its “eternal capital.” This is in concurrence with historical foundations and legal declarations by the British and then the United Nations—more than 70 years ago. The Palestinian Arabs’ DNA and heritage can be traced back just a few generations to clans and tribes in the desert lands of Arabia. Yet,
these Arabians deny the demonstrable Jewish presence in the Holy Land for over 3,000 years and Islamic extremists among them exert armed resistance to modern Israel’s right to peacefully exist there today. It is not just a difference in religious ideology (Islam versus Judaism) or an ethnic resistance (Arabs versus Jews). It is Islam’s deep, religious convictions (according to clear teachings in their holy book, the Qur’an) which have eternal, personal consequences for its followers.

Is the Second-Largest Protestant Denomination About to Split?
Documents filed with the United Methodist Church’s top court are shedding first light on specifics of long-awaited proposals to avoid schism in the second-largest Protestant denomination in the United States. The three plans were published Tuesday (July 17) as part of the docket for the United Methodist Church Judicial Council’s October meeting. The denomination’s Council of Bishops is asking its top court for a decision on whether those plans and related petitions are constitutional.
“We are asking for this so that we can gain greater clarity about constitutional issues within the three plans, and in service to and support of the delegations, who will do extremely important work in a very limited amount of time,” Bishop Kenneth H. Carter, president of the Council of Bishops, said in a written statement last week. The Rev. Maidstone Mulenga, director of communications for the Council of Bishops, described the request in an email as “a pre-emptive move by the bishops.”

Gospel gains ground in Nigeria in the midst of persecution
News of violence against Christians has made frightening and disturbing headlines lately, but there are also many other challenges Nigerians face in their everyday lives. The Tide (thetide.org) global radio ministry has been broadcasting programming in Nigeria for nearly 10 years. Through 11 different languages, the people of Nigeria can learn more about Christ and give their lives over to Him. “With more than 470 different languages spoken in Nigeria, the opportunity to share the gospel in this highly
populated country is incredible,” said The Tide Director Don Shenk. “Many Nigerians don’t currently have the opportunity to hear about Jesus in their own language. These people face many serious and grave challenges, from extreme poverty and economic hardship to violence and conflicts between ethnic groups. Despite all that faces these precious people, what is true will always be true—and that is the message of the gospel.”

In a first, Israel fires 2 David Sling interceptor missiles…
Israel used its David’s Sling interceptor system for the first time on Monday, launching two missiles against SS-21 Tochka tactical ballistic missiles fired from Syria as part of the internal fighting in the war-torn country. Red alert incoming-rocket sirens sounded across the North on Monday morning, first in Safed and the Galilee region at 10:05 a.m. and moments later in the Golan Heights and Katzrin. Sirens
wailed again in the Galilee and Golan less than half an hour later. “The alarms that were heard in northern Israel were the result of launches that were carried out as part of the internal fighting in Syria,” the IDF said. “As a result, two David’s Sling interceptors were fired at the rockets, as there was a fear they could strike Israeli territory. The Syrian rockets landed inside Syrian territory. No damage was caused, and there were no injuries,” the military said.

North Korea dismantling key facilities
Satellite images indicate North Korea has begun dismantling key facilities at a site used to develop engines for ballistic missiles, in a first step toward fulfilling a pledge made to U.S. President Donald Trump at a June summit, a Washington-based think tank said on Monday. The July 20 images showed work at the Sohae Satellite Launching Station to dismantle a building used to assemble space-launch
vehicles and a nearby rocket engine test stand used to develop liquid-fuel engines for ballistic missiles and space-launch vehicles, the 38 North think tank said. “Since these facilities are believed to have played an important role in the development of technologies for the North’s intercontinental ballistic missile program, these efforts represent a significant confidence-building measure on the part of North Korea,” it said in a report.

Russian Hackers Reach US Utility Control Rooms
Hackers working for Russia claimed “hundreds of victims” last year in a giant and long-running campaign that put them inside the control rooms of U.S. electric utilities where they could have caused blackouts, federal officials said. They said the campaign likely is continuing. The Russian hackers, who worked for a shadowy state-sponsored group previously identified as Dragonfly or Energetic Bear, broke
into supposedly secure, “air-gapped” or isolated networks owned by utilities with relative ease by first penetrating the networks of key vendors who had trusted relationships with the power companies, said officials at the Department of Homeland Security. “They got to the point where they could have thrown switches” and disrupted power flows, said Jonathan Homer, chief of industrial-control-system analysis for DHS.

Israel develops wingless flying car with 1,000hp capable of landing anywhere
Israeli manufacturer Urban Aeronautics said its CityHawk model will be unleashed in less than three years. It has 1,000 horsepower with “genuine fly anywhere, land anywhere capability”. An Aeronautics spokesman described the vehicle as “a true equivalent to a ground taxi or family sedan in both appearance and passenger capacity”. Its technology was successfully tested earlier this year, with the first manned flights penned in for 2021.
The spokesman added: “Its uniquely compact, ‘wingless’ fuselage and ‘six-degrees-of-freedom-uncoupled’ flight modes deliver true, unencumbered, three-dimensional access and mobility. “This places it as the first in its class with genuine fly-anywhere, land-anywhere capability. “Initial development and testing will utilize two, 1,000 horsepower class, turboshaft engines coupled to electric power generators for operating the vehicle’s thruster propellers.

Volcanic eruption causes damage, disruption on Vanuatu’s Ambae island
All roads to west Ambae in Vanuatu where the Manoro volcano has been erupting seriously since late last year, have been cut due to massive mud flows. According to Vanuatu’s Daily Post newspaper website on Thursday, the Ambae Island was now accessible only by sea or by air. An exclusive peek into the mouth of the volcano showed frightening signs after a team trekked up to the summit of mount Lombenben and
flew a drone directly over the smoking crater to take pictures. The team that trekked eight hours to get to the site reported that the landscape on the summit and its approaches had been completely transformed by a month of ashfall. They reported widespread damage and massive disruption to the local population on Ambae Island.

Japan sets new heat record, Hottest since 1896, Death toll rising
Temperatures in Japan have reached 41.1C, a new record for the country, amid a deadly heatwave that has claimed dozens of lives. The temperature was recorded in the city of Kumagaya, a city northwest of Tokyo, beating a previous high of 41C in the western prefecture of Kochi in August 2013, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency. Records go back to varying dates for different cities, with data for Kumagaya starting in 1896.
Authorities are warning people to stay indoors and use air conditioning where possible, with new deaths being reported almost every day for the last week. The heatwave has set in not just over wide swaths of Japan, but also in South Korea, where the country’s highest-ever morning low was recorded on Monday. The mercury sat at 31C at 6.45am in the city of Gangneung, according to the Yonhap news agency.

Dutch Company Sets Goal of Having Lab-Grown Meat in Your Favorite Restaurant in Three Years
Since the dawn of time, man has endeavored to move food from the farm to the table. Over the course of the next three years, one Dutch company will try to move its meat product from the laboratory to your table. Mosa Meat produced a lab-grown beef burger five years ago. The company announced Tuesday it has received the funding to make and sell artificially grown meat to restaurants as early as 2021, according to The Associated Press.
The artificial meat will be ground beef for burgers with the typical hamburger patty costing around $1. Mosa Meat says its biggest challenge is making meat that looks, feels and tastes like the real thing. In the process, the company uses a small sample of cells taken from a live animal. The cells are fed nutrients and are engineered to grow into strands of muscle tissue. The company claims it can make up to the equivalent of 80,000 quarter pounders from a single sample.

Iran dismisses Trump threat, says he ‘won’t dare’ attack
A high-ranking Iranian officer on Monday said US President Donald Trump’s warning of unprecedented “consequences” for Iran, should it threaten the United States, is nothing but “psychological warfare.” Gen. Gholam Hossein Gheibparvar, the chief of the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard’s volunteer Basij
force, also said that Trump “won’t dare” take any military action against Iran. Gheibparvar’s comments were reported by the semi-official ISNA news agency. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Sunday that “American must understand well that peace with Iran is the mother of all peace and war with Iran is the mother of all wars.” He also warned Trump to stop “playing with the lion’s tail” and threatening Iran, “or else you will regret it.”

Trump warns Iran’s Rouhani: Threaten us ‘and you will suffer’
President Trump on Sunday night warned that if Iran continued with its threats to the U.S. the country would suffer unspecified “consequences.” In a tweet, written in all caps and directed explicitly at Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, Trump wrote: “Never, ever threaten the United States again or you will suffer consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before. We are no longer a country that will stand for your demented words of violence & death.
Be cautious!” Trump’s message comes after Rouhani issued his own warning to the U.S. president earlier on Sunday. “America should know that peace with Iran is the mother of all peace, and war with Iran is the mother of all wars,” Rouhani told a group of diplomats. The tweet also came shortly after Trump’s secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, delivered remarks on Iran at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum on Sunday evening.

At least 5 dead, 728,000 affected as monsoon rains hit Philippines
Heavy monsoon rains affecting the Philippines over the past 7 days claimed lives of at least 5 people and affected more than 700,000 people, officials said Sunday, July 22, 2018. While Tropical Depression “Josie” approached the country on July 21, two previous storms “Inday” and “Henry” (known internationally as Ampil and Son-tinh) enhanced seasonal southwest monsoon (known in the Philippines as Habagat), further worsening flooding and causing floods and landslides which affected a total of 728,003 people and killed at least 5.
The floods affected 585 villages in 7 regions, according to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC). On the same day (July 21), Dagupan City in Pangasinan was placed under a state of calamity due to massive floods which affected 32 barangays, forcing evacuations. Major roads experienced flooding in some parts of Makati City, particularly in Buendia, in the main business district.

Genetic researchers reverse wrinkles, gray hair and balding in mice, called ‘unprecedented’
Science has made mice look good by reversing age-related wrinkles and hair loss at the genetic level. Humanity could get a similar make-over in the future. “Wrinkled skin and hair loss are hallmarks of aging. What if they could be reversed?” asked researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham — who appear to have accomplished that feat, according to the research team. They introduced a specific
gene mutation on a test mouse, which prompted a change in profound appearance. Within four weeks, the mouse had developed wrinkled skin and extensive, visible hair loss. When regular function was restored within the gene by turning off the culprit mutation, the mouse returned to a previous life of smooth skin and luxurious fur only two months later — deemed “indistinguishable” from a healthy mouse of the same age.

‘Touch Not God’s Anointed’: One of the Most Abused Verses in the Entire Bible
(By Ron Cantor) “It doesn’t really matter what you say I have done. God has called me here, and you can’t stand in His way.” According to a friend of mine, these were the words a leader of a congregation used as he responded to a congregant who sought to challenge him on issues of deep concern—issues of sin. It reminded me of something that happened while I was in Bible school. I had been attending a church on Long Island led by a dynamic preacher. Everyone loved his fiery teachings. He was truly anointed. However,
I became concerned when, during a service, he physically attacked an usher. The usher had laid his hand on someone, and the wife of the pastor removed his hand, as he was there to usher, not to pray. The usher reacted angrily to the pastor’s wife, and both he and the pastor had to be physically restrained. I stopped going to this congregation. A few weeks later, some of my college buddies came back to the campus with glowing reports of Pastor Phil’s (not his real name) latest message. “You’ve got to hear it, Ron!” they crowed.

Scholar Says Pedophilia is ‘An Unchangeable Sexual Orientation’ and Should Be Accepted By Society
The online community erupted in outrage after a German medical student gave a TedxTalk arguing that pedophilia is an “unchangeable sexual orientation” just like heterosexuality and that society should become more accepting of pedophiles. Mirjam Heine defended her claims before an audience at the University of Würtzberg in Germany during a presentation called, “Why our perception of pedophilia has to change.”
One of the biggest reasons why is because pedophilia is simply another sexual orientation, she said. “According to current research pedophilia is an unchangeable sexual orientation just like, for example, heterosexuality. No one chooses to be a pedophile, no one can cease being one,” Heine argued. “The difference between pedophilia and other sexual orientations is that living out this sexual orientation will end in a disaster.”

Ohio restaurant cancels Sunday church discount after outrage from secular organization

What Democrats' left turn means for midterm elections
A seemingly harmless discount to parishioners who wanted a good meal after church backfired on a Ohio restaurant after a secular organization cried foul.
The owners of the Starters Cafe in Cheviot, Ohio, offered a 10-percent discount to those who presented that morning's church bulletin at Sunday brunch.
"What we did was make an offer on social media to give a 10-percent discount to anyone that gave a church bulletin to us on Sunday for brunch," Justin Watson said to WKRC.

Watson said there are at least seven churches within a mile of the restaurant and felt this would be an easy way to get more people in the door.
"We've had an outstanding response from the local community. There's been a lot of support," Watson said.

Watson, who opened the restaurant the first week of June, said the response was positive – at first.
"Nobody has said a word to me in any way, shape or form. So, as far as you know, thinking that that was any type of discriminatory act or anything offensive to anybody seemed completely absurd to me," Watson said.

California baker under fire once again despite her court victory

California baker under fire once again despite her court victory
California Christian baker Cathy Miller thought her legal nightmare had ended when a judge ruled that she had the right to not make a wedding cake for a homosexual couple – but it appears she was wrong. Miller is once again being targeted by officials for California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH), who are relaunching their investigation of Miller, owner of Tastries Bakery. Miller was
sued last August by the DFEH on behalf of Eileen and Mireya Rodriguez-Del Rio, who requested a wedding cake from her. Miller said she couldn’t make it because it would violate her Christian faith, referring them to another bakery. The Christian baker was accused of violating the state’s Unruh Civil Rights Act, which stops businesses from denying service based on race, sexual orientation and other indicators, Bakersfield.com reported.

Netflix Twists Anne of Green Gables into a ‘Queer Soirée’ With 5 LGBT Characters
DAYS OF LOT: The new Netflix adaptation of the 1908 novel Anne of Green Gables has been revised to include multiple homosexual characters, according to the series creator, Moira Walley-Beckett. In the Northwood Entertainment-produced series, “Anne With an E,” the beloved character Great Aunt Josephine Barry is the first of many LGBT characters in the series. “Upon reading (the novel) again as an adult, I was wondering about Aunt Jo,” Walley-Beckett told IndieWire. “In the book, she’s a spinster, and she’s just a bit of a curmudgeon, and that’s kind of it.”
“So I’m like, ‘Well, she’s coming to the Barrys for a month and she’s grieving;’ that’s why I decided to justify why she’s there: Who is she grieving?” Walley-Beckett continued. Aunt Jo revealed in Season 1 that she was grieving over the loss of a character known as Aunt Gertrude, Josephine’s partner. IndieWire reports their relationship is what’s called a “Boston marriage,” when two women live together without being supported financially by a man. The term didn’t exist during the time period of the show.

UPDATE: Scores more sick from MCDONALD’S salads..163 people in 10 states
The number of people sickened by tainted McDonald’s salads has jumped to 163 in 10 states. Three of the victims have been hospitalized. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said the problem is caused by the Cyclospora parasite that is transmitted in foods contaminated with fecal matter. Last week, the number of cases was 61 people in seven states –
29 in Illinois, 16 in Iowa, seven in Missouri, three in Minnesota and two each in Nebraska, South Dakota and Wisconsin. An updated state-by-state breakdown wasn’t immediately available. McDonald’s voluntarily stopped selling salads last week at about 3,000 restaurants in 14 states, including Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota, Montana, North Dakota, Kentucky, West Virginia and Missouri, until they were able to switch to another lettuce-mix supplier.

RUMORS OF WAR: Major Israeli strikes on Gaza amid talk of war…
The Israel Air Force launched a major wave of strikes at Hamas targets across the Gaza Strip on Friday evening as a cabinet minister said Israel was preparing a massive response to Hamas’s failure to heed repeated Israeli warnings to end the violence along the Gaza border. “At this time our aircraft are carrying out widespread attacks against terror targets belonging to Hamas in the Gaza Strip,” the IDF
said, adding that this came after the “serious shooting incident against our forces,” referring to sniper fire at IDF troops during a riot on the border earlier in the day. The army said 15 targets were hit, including the “Hamas brigade headquarters in Zeitoun.” The army said the headquarters were completely destroyed along with “weapons and ammunition stores, training grounds, observation posts, control centers and the offices of the brigade commander.” READ MORE https://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-strikes-deep-into-gaza-as-troops-come-under-fire-amid-talk-of-4th-gaza-war/

Christians Forced Out of Nepal as Persecution Intensifies
Nepali Christians are facing new pressures from their government after authorities deported a Christian couple for evangelizing Hindus. Immigration officials said the two foreigners had violated terms of their business visa, but a Nepali religious freedom advocate told CBN News the couple had a right to practice their faith. BP Khanal, General Secretary of the Janjagaran Party said government officials reached their
decision based on media reports, not facts when they sent Filipino De Vera Richard and his Indonesian wife, Rita Gonga packing. Khanal said party workers investigated and found government officials demonstrated bias against the couple and violated their human rights by denying them the right to practice their faith as Christians. In October 2017, the Nepal government enacted legislation criminalizing religious conversion which states that no one should be involved in, or encourage “conversion of religion.”

New Netflix Series About ‘Reincarnated’ 12-Year-Old Jesus Is a Theological Disaster
Netflix has announced a new series they will be producing about a boy who discovers at the age of 12 that he is the reincarnated Jesus. In a tale that is sure to be a theological mess, the series follows the 12-year-old “Jesus” as he has to lead the world “in a conflict thousands of years in the making,” The Wrap reported.
The entertainment streaming service bought out Scottish comic writer Mark Miller’s publishing company, Millarworld, last year. Miller, creator of “Kick-Ass” and “Kingsman,” is the brain behind “American Jesus” and another new show, “Jupiter’s Legacy.” While the company has not released details on much of the plot line for “American Jesus,” they did give a little synopsis, as reported by The Wrap:

The Gap Between The Rich And The Poor In The United States Hasn’t Been This Large Since The 1920s
(By Michael Snyder) The rich have been getting richer and the poor have been getting poorer for so long in America that it seems like it has always been this way. But it hasn’t. In fact, between the late 1920s and the early 1970s the gap between the wealthy and the poor actually steadily got smaller. And when I was growing up in the 1980s, it seemed like everyone was middle class, but now those days are long gone. A very small sliver of society at the very top of the food chain truly is “living the high life”, while most of the rest of us are deeply struggling.
According to a brand new study just released by the Economic Policy Institute, the average American family in the top 1 percent brought home 26.3 times as much income in 2015 as an average family in the bottom 99 percent. The following comes from CNBC… The top 1 percent of families took home an average of 26.3 times as much income as the bottom 99 percent in 2015, according to a new paper released by the Economic Policy Institute, a non-profit, nonpartisan think tank in Washington, D.C. This has increased since 2013, showing that income inequality has risen in nearly every state.

Cathedral that Once Burned Bibles Calls Cops on Bible-Reading Man: ‘Sermon on the Mount’ Not Allowed
Nearly 500 years after the Bishop of London burned copies of William Tyndale’s New Testament outside of St. Paul’s Cathedral, the church is once again at the center of controversy for blocking the reading of scripture. A man was apparently arrested outside St. Paul’s after reading the Bible aloud in public. The street preacher insisted to a police officer that he was “not committing a crime” as the arrest took place.
A video shows a bearded man with an American-sounding accent asking a policeman why he is being told to move on when other people are standing there talking. The police officer tells him, “I haven’t got a problem with what you are doing, but staff here have asked you to move off of the property.” When the preacher protests, the police officer says, “Then I will arrest you for a breach of the peace.”

Chinese Authorities Break Into Church for Third Time, Arrest Over 30 Churchgoers
The Bible Reformed Church, a place of worship located in China’s Guangdong province, again served as the target of a government break-in on Sunday. Officials from the communist regime’s Food and Drug Administration as well as some members of the police were the ones who gained entry into the church, and upon doing so made arrests and questioned churchgoers.
Government officials checked the IDs of the people who were at the church at the time. They also sealed off the refrigerator and restricted access to a storage cabinet which contained utensils. Pastor Huang Xiaoning was among the people taken into questioning by Chinese officials during the raid, and he detailed what happened during an interview with China Aid. According to Huang, the service on July 15 had already begun when the Chinese officials entered the church.

CDC and FDA warn fresh crab meat from Venezuela is unsafe for consumption
Health officials are warning against eating crab meat from Venezuela, as it’s been tied to diarrhea, vomiting and fever. Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease and Control said fresh crab
meat from Venezuela carries a bacteria known as Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The crab meat is commonly found in plastic tubs and might be labeled as “pre-cooked”, it has sickened at least a dozen people nationwide. At least four people have been hospitalized.

More Americans are drinking themselves to death
The Great Recession continues to take a grim toll: Since 2009, a growing number of Americans have died from liver disease and liver cancer. The increase among 25- to 34-year-olds is especially troubling because the deaths are due to cirrhosis, a disease caused by excessive drinking, the authors of a new study said. The researchers suspect the economic downturn in 2008 prompted people to comfort themselves with alcohol.
“These are deaths of despair,” said lead researcher Dr. Elliot Tapper, an assistant professor of gastroenterology at the University of Michigan. It’s similar to overdose deaths from the opioid epidemic. In both cases, people are trying to relieve the emotional pain they feel, Tapper said. He cautioned, however, that because this is an observational study, it cannot prove cause and effect.

Putin tests nuclear-powered missile with ‘unlimited range’ days after meeting Trump
Vladimir Putin has tested a nuclear-powered cruise missile with “unlimited range” just days after meeting with Donald Trump. The pair met in Finland last week. The meeting went so well that on Monday Trump said he saw no reason why Russia would attempt to interfere with the 2016 presidential election.
That is despite the CIA and FBI both agreeing that the Kremlin did intefere. Trump has since backtracked on his comments. Tonight a White House spokesperson said Donald Trump is set to invite Vladimir Putin to Washington in the autumn. Yet despite the mutual smiles and hearty handshakes between the two leaders in Helsinki, Putin has pressed ahead with testing the new deadly cruise missile.

North Texas smashed a 93-year-old daily heat record Thursday, with the mercury climbing to 108 degrees Fahrenheit (42 Celsius) in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. “Delay walking your dog until sunset” during the heat wave, the National Weather Service said in a message posted on Twitter. “Our infrared thermometer measured 136 degrees this afternoon on the sidewalk.
These temperatures are hot enough to burn Fido’s paws.” Texas was set to break its power-demand record for the second day in a row, according to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, the state’s grid operator. “It’s insanely hot here,” said Ercot spokeswoman Leslie Sopko. “You can only be outside if you’re in a swimming pool.”

Deadly tornado outbreak creates nightmare throughout central Iowa
At least several tornadoes tore through central Iowa on Thursday afternoon, hitting key landmarks in some cities, such as the Marshall County Courthouse in Marshalltown and Vermeer Manufacturing in Pella. Heavy rain, damaging winds and hail were also part of the system. Seven people inside the manufacturing plant were taken to the hospital and treated for injuries. They have since been released. Pella Regional Health Center spokeswoman Billie Rhamy confirmed Thursday evening that all the
injuries were minor and all patients have been discharged. The company, which has about 2,800 employees, makes agricultural machinery, including hay balers and mowers, and equipment for the pipeline and forestry management industries. Vermeer CEO Jason Andringa said that 400 dealers and customers were in town to celebrate the company’s 70th anniversary. He said operations will be closed Friday as crews assess the structural damage.

Parents raising ‘theybies’ let kids decide
Jul 19, 2018 | 0 |
Three-year-old twins Zyler and Kadyn Sharpe scurried around the boys and girls clothing racks of a narrow consignment store filled with toys. Zyler, wearing rainbow leggings, scrutinized a pair of hot-pink-and-purple sneakers. Kadyn, in a T-Rex shirt, fixated on a musical cube that flashed colorful lights. At a glance, the only discernible difference between these fraternal twins is their hair — Zyler’s is brown and Kadyn’s is blond. Is Zyler a boy or a girl? How about Kadyn? That’s a question their parents, Nate
and Julia Sharpe, say only the twins can decide. The Cambridge, Mass., couple represent a small group of parents raising “theybies” — children being brought up without gender designation from birth. A Facebook community for these parents currently claims about 220 members across the U.S. “A theyby is, I think, different things to different people,” Nate Sharpe told NBC News. “For us, it means raising our kids with gender-neutral pronouns — so, ‘they,’ ‘them,’ ‘their,’ rather than assigning ‘he,’ ‘she,’ ‘him,’ ‘her’ from birth based on their anatomy.” CONTINUE

DAYS OF LOT: College Class to ‘Denaturalize’ Heterosexuality Teaches Students to ‘Disdain Nature’
The University of Massachusetts-Boston is teaching a course in political theory with the expressed aim of denaturalizing heterosexuality, among its other stated goals. The class fulfills a mandatory diversity requirement at the school. The College Fix reported Wednesday that the advanced political science course, “Queer Political Theory,” according to an online description in the 2017-18 undergraduate catalog, says that its “primary aims are the de-naturalization of (hetero)sexuality and (hetero)normative gender categories, identities, and expression.” The course is taught by Professor C. Heike Schotten, who
has authored several related publications, among them Queer Terror: Life, Death, and Desire in the Settler Colony; To Exist is to Resist: Palestine and the Question of Queer Theory; Men, Masculinity, and Male Domination: Rethinking Feminist Analyses of Sex Work; Homonationalism: From Critique to Diagnosis, or, We Are All Homonational Now; and Nietzsche and Emancipatory Politics: Queer Theory as Anti-Morality.

Magnitude 6.0 quake strikes south of Alaska Peninsula
A magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck to the south of the Alaska peninsula early on Thursday, but the National Weather Service said no tsunami warning has been issued. The quake was centered about 62 miles (100 km) south-southwest of Sand Point, Alaska, at a depth of 10.6 miles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
“No tsunami warning, advisory, watch or threat,” said officials from the National Weather Service, a unit of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The quake was far milder than a magnitude 7.9 earthquake that struck the Gulf of Alaska in January, triggering tsunami alerts for the U.S. West Coast and Canada as well as spurring evacuations in coastal Alaska and warnings as far south as California.

Traumatic Traits of Fatherless Men
Jul 19, 2018 | 0 |

Traumatic Traits of Fatherless Men
(By Joseph Mattera) There is a dearth of fatherlessness in the world and in the church today. The emotional and spiritual effects of this have been nothing less than catastrophic! The following are some of the symptoms of fatherlessness. (This can be applied to both natural and spiritual fathers.)
I. There is an insecurity and/or a sense of inferiority because of neglect, lack of affirmation, or abandonment
Some men continually walk around with insecurities that negatively impact the way they relate in business, ministry, and marriage. They never fully trust their abilities and hence, they don’t always trust others around them to do the right thing towards them. This sense of inferiority causes them to try to hide their low self-esteem by projecting a machismo persona full of confidence, but inside their souls they are always afraid.
II. There is a fierce independence because of a lack of trust of all authority figures
Some men who have experienced fatherlessness have a hard time inwardly submitting to any form of spiritual authority, even if they outwardly attempt to do so. They mostly make their own decisions without getting real counsel, and if they do get counsel, they will ultimately do what they want anyway because they don’t believe anyone fully looks out for their interests.
III. There is a great competitive drive due to comparisons with other men
Some men’s insecurities result in them constantly comparing themselves with other men. If they are ministers, they compare themselves with fellow ministers in their region. They are always trying to out-do other men as if ministry were a sport. For example, I know some ministers who, when talking about themselves or their ministries, constantly make statements like “our church is growing in record numbers,” or “we have the largest pastoral group in the city” or “we are the church called of God to reach the city.” They use competitive language with a super-spiritual religious tinge, but it is merely fleshly competition that is not purely motivated by a leading of the Lord.

Israel unprepared for major Earthquake, Warns state comptroller
Israel is not prepared for a major earthquake, a report released by the state comptroller on Wednesday states, warning of unsecured residential and public buildings and possible damage to crucial infrastructure. The report by State Comptroller Joseph Shapira comes at a time when dozens of tremors have been felt around northern Israel in recent weeks. Experts in the field believe that the occurrence of a strong earthquake is almost certain and that its impact on various regions of the country will be
enormous. The State Comptroller’s Office stated that according to information received by the government, the situation it needs to prepare for could result in an estimated 7,000 people killed, another 8,600 seriously injured, 37,000 lightly injured, 9,500 trapped in rubble and 170,000 left homeless. The office conducted an audit between July 2017 and February 2018 of the relevant ministries’ and authorities’ readiness in the face of earthquakes, focusing on a major one.

Huge mysterious stone spheres on Arctic island leave scientists baffled
Large natural balls in the Franz Josef archipelago leave scientists flummoxed. Visitors to this cosmic landscape named the round rocks ‘footballs of the Gods’. The huge stone balls up to two metres in height are found on appropriately-named Champ island above the polar circle. Perfectly spherical they are
scattered all over this northern uninhabited outpost. And at first it is hard to believe that they are natural and not made by man, or possibly giants. Yet the barren 374 km2 (144 sq miles) island was never inhabited and scientists are sure they are not artificial, even if they cannot agree how they were formed.

Has Creative Worship Services Gone Too Far?
Church services featuring creative spectacles of light and sound, fog machines, pop music and aerial gymnasts have sparked debate across the country. Supporters claim that the shows both glorify God and appeal to a younger generation that craves sensory stimulation. Critics worry that these theatrics have replaced genuine worship and sound theological doctrine while confusing the purpose of the Church with that of an entertainment hall, just to fill the pews.
Embassy Church International of Atlanta is making headlines for its weekly entertainment events featuring an in-your-face ensemble of fog machines, aerial gymnasts, stage lights and energized musical performances that are meant to bring the gospel alive for worshippers. Gone are the days of traditional intoning of hymns to the tune of a piano or organ followed by a solemnly delivered Biblical lesson drawn from the pages of the Bible.

Mystery ‘Angel’ Helps Haiti Missionaries Evacuate During Country’s Violent Riots
What for many began like any other mission trip quickly took a nightmarish turn when a government-sanctioned spike in fuel prices spurred violent protests and riots across Haiti. One mission group from a church in New York City was doing medical work in Delmas 75 in the country’s capital, Port-au-Prince, when they decided on Friday, July 6, to travel to Moulin Sur Mer, a resort almost two hours away, to put a relaxing cap on what had been a busy week.
Then the protests started, stranding mission groups from all across the U.S. in the third-world country. Now safely back in the United States, one New York City missionary, Lizzy Hajdari, told Faithwire in a recent phone interview about her and her fellow travelers’ harrowing journey to safety — and the inexplicable aid that came their way.

China’s Atheist Communist Party Demolishes Mega-Church
Authorities with the atheistic Communist Party in China demolished a well-known Christian church this week. International Christian Concern (ICC) states that on July 17, more than 70 police officers and workers forcibly demolished Liangwang Catholic Church in China’s Shandong province. Liangwang Catholic Church is a state-sanctioned church and had been registered since 2006.
Three church caretakers, Gao Rongli, Zhang Siling and Li Xiangmei, who were inside the church, had their cell phones confiscated and destroyed before they were driven out of the building. The church was then razed in 15 minutes by bulldozers and pickaxes. Chinese Christian Fellowship of Righteousness, a US-based group that highlights Christian persecution in China, shared several photos of the scene on their Facebook page.

Historic wildfire outbreak strikes Sweden amid record-breaking heat
Scandinavia is experiencing exceptionally warm temperatures, over 11 °C (20 °F) above average, for more than a month. Above-average temperatures combined with drought, lightning, and human negligence to cause what Swedish authorities are describing as the country’s most serious wildfire situation in modern times. The heatwave is expected to continue, particularly in northern Scandinavia. Heat arrived early to
Scandinavia this year, with the hottest May on record in Sweden, disappointing June, and an unusually hot July. The temperatures are exceptionally high even in the Arctic Circle, pushing well above 30 °C (86 °F) or 8 – 11 °C (14 – 20 °F) above the long-term average. Since Monday, July 16, 2018, several locations across Scandinavia have approached or surpassed their highest temperatures observed any day or month of the year, Jason Samenow of the Capital Weather Gang reports: In central Norway,

Activity at Kilauea unprecedented in the past 200 years
The current eruption at Kilauea is unprecedented in scope and size in the past 200 years, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory deputy scientist-in-charge Steve Brantley said Tuesday, July 16, 2018. “What we are observing now is unprecedented in the past 200 years in terms of size and scale, but not in terms of process,” Brantley said. “This has occurred before, particularly during the 19th century when there were multiple collapses of the summit area and eruptions down in the East Rift Zone. At least one large in 1840.”
“This is also the largest sequence of collapse events that we’ve observed in the past 200 years,” he said. In the middle East Rift Zone, Puʻu ʻŌʻō erupted for 35 years. That was the longest eruption in the whole East Rift Zone in over 500 years and it probably set up the conditions that were ripe for lava or magma to be able to travel underground all the way from the summit to this area.
