Theologian Rebukes Pastor Steven Furtick’s Claim That Doubting Bible Is OK, Says ‘Doubt Is Disobedience’
An author and associate professor of Christian theology has hit back against Elevation Church pastor Steven Furtick’s recent message that it’s not wrong for Christians to have doubts. “We must take care here. Doubt is not a virtue. Doubt is not part of faith,” Owen Strachan, director of the Center for Theological and Cultural Engagement at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, wrote last week.

“Coming to faith in Christ necessarily means that you do not doubt the gospel of grace. Coming to faith in Christ means that you believe in Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Jesus presented himself as the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). Jesus demands total repentance and total trust in him, and he is right to do so. Jesus rebuked doubting Thomas (John 20:24-29).” Strachan’s comments were in response to Furtick, who in a recent sermon admitted that he has doubts about some things in the Bible.

Zuckerberg defends Facebook users’ right to deny the holocaust
Mark Zuckerberg defended the rights of Facebook users to publish Holocaust denial posts, saying he didn’t “think that they’re intentionally getting it wrong”. In an interview with Recode published on Wednesday, the CEO also explained Facebook’s decision to allow the far-right conspiracy theory website Infowars to continue using the platform, saying the social network would try to “reduce the distribution
of that content”, but would not censor the page. Zuckerberg’s comments came the same day that Facebook announced a new policy pledging to remove misinformation used to incite physical harm. The CEO’s remarks to Recode have reignited debates about free speech on the social network at a time when Facebook is continuing to face scrutiny over its role in spreading misinformation, propaganda and hate speech across the globe.

Man Claims He Was ‘Awoken by Demons’ Before Killing His Girlfriend With a Bible
A disturbed Florida man claims that he was “awoken by demons” before killing his girlfriend with a frying pan, a pipe and a Bible. Police discovered Lesley Satenay, 40, standing outside the Eatonville home of 30-year-old Krystal Phillips on July 14.
He immediately admitted his brutal crime to authorities and was taken into custody. Court documents show that the deranged man told police that “the devil was inside his room” prior to the slaying. Police said that Phillips, a mother of one, was found lying dead in a bedroom after having been killed with a pipe.

52 killed and 20 missing after ‘worst ever’ floods hit Katsina, Nigeria
At least 52 people have died and 20 are still missing after heavy rains caused severe floods in Nigeria’s northern state of Katsina over the past few days, local officials confirmed Wednesday, July 18, 2018. In the country’s south, heavy rains in the state of Ogun claimed lives of 11 people. More than 500 houses were destroyed by the flood in Katsina State, Aminu Waziri, head of the State Emergency Management Agency said today. At least 52 people have died, 27 were injured, 20 are missing and at least 5 000 are displaced.
Following the heavy rainfall on Saturday, July 15, water from the main river in the area moved in a reverse direction and came back to Jibia town, causing the flooding, state governor Aminu Masari said. Five villages in Jibia district were affected by the flood. “This is the worst natural disaster I have ever witnessed in my life. I believe this is the worst ever seen in the state,” the governor said. “The devastation caused by the heavy rains (and) flood at Kukan Danmaciji of Jibia LGA is indeed enormously overwhelming and heartbreaking.”

Patrons to Christian Server: ‘We Don’t Tip Terrorists’
Sometimes patrons will leave a nice note at the end of their receipt if they had an extra nice dinner or were feeling extra caring. But Khalil Cavil, a waiter at Saltgrass Steak House in Odessa, Texas received the opposite last Saturday night when a table left a bigoted message at the bottom of their receipt. The patrons circled Cavil’s name on the top of their $108.73 bill and wrote: “we don’t tip terrorists.”
Cavil, a 20-year-old restaurant server, said his heart dropped when he read the note. “My heart just dropped, I didn’t know what to says or what to think in the moment but there’s hurt there,” Cavil said. Cavil isn’t a terrorist, and in fact, he is not Muslim like the patrons assumed because of his Middle Eastern roots. Cavil is a Christian.

Turkish Court Refuses to Release American Pastor Andrew Brunson Taken Hostage in 2016
A Turkish court on Wednesday again denied a request for the release of an American pastor based in Turkey who has been held prisoner since 2016, when he was arrested on terrorism charges. Pastor Andrew Craig Brunson, a 50-year-old minister from Black Mountain, North Carolina, is facing up to 35 years in prison, The Associated Press reported, for “committing crimes on behalf of terror groups
without being a member” and “espionage.” Brunson was arrested over alleged links to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, a connection the pastor has denied. Following Wednesday’s hearing — the third regarding Brunson’s case — judges in Turkey scheduled another court appointment for Oct. 12. President Donald Trump tweeted his support for Brunson in mid-April, noting the pastor is being held in Turkey for “no reason.”

UK Mayor Resigns After Being Harassed Over Facebook Posts About Homosexuality, Gender Dysphoria
The mayor of a town in the United Kingdom has resigned after being harassed with threatening and profane comments over his Facebook posts on the issues of homosexuality and transgenderism. Richard Smith was elected in May to serve as the mayor of Ferryhill in Northeast England. He has served as pastor of Immanuel Christian Fellowship since 2003, a church that regularly hosts a free food distribution for those in need. Smith was also active in the military for eight years.
However, a local “drag queen” recently became upset about some of Smith’s Facebook posts that mentioned homosexuality and transgenderism. For one of the posts, Smith shared an article on homosexuality from the website Desiring God, and wrote above the link, “Read it all before you judge my stance on not just this sin, but all sin. God said ALL have sinned and fallen short of His glory.”

Two quakes rock Surrey in 12 hours, Sixth in 4 weeks, Fears of “BIG ONE”
Surrey has been rocked by a 2.7 magnitude earthquake today – the second in just 12 hours. The quake was the sixth to shake the area near both Gatwick and Heathrow airports in just four weeks – and raised the unlikely spectre of a ‘Big One’ hitting London. Previous quakes have included a 2.6 magnitude tremor felt in parts of Surrey and West Sussex on June 27 and a quake measuring 2.6 recorded on June 30.
Today’s 2.7 tremor was recorded at Newdigate, which is eight miles from Gatwick and 30 miles from Heathrow, just after 1.30pm. It was less than a mile below the surface. Just hours earlier, a tremor was recorded at 4.59am at Newdigate at a magnitude of 2.0. Large earthquakes are extremely rare in Britain but scientists recently uncovered two fault lines running directly under London.

One Cyber Attack Could Wipe Out 90% of US Population
In the past eight months, federal authorities have issued public warnings about foreign hackers penetrating the US power grid and other critical infrastructure. Cybersecurity experts say the intent is to plant digital grenades in those systems until they decide to pull the pin.
These attacks are from an enemy who may never step on US soil. But they could cripple vital systems like electricity, food, water, and manufacturing. “Right now we are tracking about eight different teams that specifically target industrial networks,” said Robert Lee, Founder, and CEO of Dragos, Inc.
Lee spent five years working at the National Security Agency and Pentagon Cyber Command before forming Dragos, Inc.

Scientists develop ‘world first’ melanoma blood test…
Australian researchers said Wednesday they have developed a blood test for melanoma in its early stages, calling it a “world first” breakthrough that could save many lives. The scientists, from Edith Cowan University, said the new test could help doctors detect the skin cancer before it spreads through a person’s body.
“Patients who have their melanoma detected in its early stage have a five-year survival rate between 90 and 99 percent,” lead researcher Pauline Zaenker said in a statement. She added that survival rates fell to less than 50 percent if the cancer spread in the body. “This is what makes this blood test so exciting as a potential screening tool because it can pick up melanoma in its very early stages when it is still treatable,” Zaenker said.

Lava from the Kilauea volcano adds nearly 700 acres to Hawaii’s Big Island
The National Guard in Hawaii is warning of new, immediate dangers to people living near the Kilauea volcano some two-and-a-half months after the eruption started. At the same time lava flow is changing the outline of the island itself and creating hundreds of acres of new land where the ocean used to be.
The island has grown by nearly 700 acres, the equivalent of more than 500 football fields, reports CBS News’ Carter Evans. “In the mandatory evacuation area there’s an ever-present, immediate danger. Sulphur dioxide levels, wind shift. The immediate threat from the lava,” said Capt. Darren Taylor of the Hawaii National Guard.

RUMORS OF WAR: Israeli Army told to prepare for large-scale military operation in Gaza
Israel’s political leadership has reportedly instructed the army to prepare for a military offensive in the Gaza Strip, to be initiated if the launching of incendiary devices from the Hamas-run coastal enclave into Israeli territory continues. According to a Channel 10 news report Tuesday, Israel has set Friday as a deadline for the flaming kite and balloon launches to cease.
If this does not happen, Israel may decide it has no choice but to embark on a military campaign in the Strip, the report said. Israel sent a similar message to Hamas through Egyptian intelligence, Channel 10 reported, with the Palestinian terror group, in turn, indicating its forces will work to stop the launching of burning materials by Friday.

Greg Laurie Describes the Antichrist in Detail
Evangelist Greg Laurie described the Antichrist in detail during his sermon on Sunday. “When this man emerges on the scene, he may not be what you would expect. He will not be dressed in head to toe in black, with glowing red eyes and steam coming out of him, and the Darth Vader theme song playing when he walks into a room,” Laurie says.
Laurie warns: “He is going to do things that no world leader has ever done before. He is going to solve the Middle East conflict, and he is going to rid the world at least temporarily of terrorism. He is going to be hailed as the greatest peace talker that ever lived.” But then, the Antichrist’s true motives shall be revealed.

Mother Has Vision of Demons Choking Her Daughter at the Very Moment She Overdosed
Helpless and Alone. Those are two feelings both Brooke and her mother shared during the height of Brooke’s heroin addiction. Brooke, a straight-A student born in a wealthy churchgoing family, hated herself for losing control of her life. Her mother, a prominent psychologist of 30-some years, blamed herself. Neither one saw this coming. Brooke grew up singing in church with her mother. She remembers accepting Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior at 6 years old
Meanwhile, her mother tried to look out for the best interest of her daughters. But even the best-intentioned, God-centered parenting meets its match against the realities of everyday life. Brooke started taking Xanax for anxiety after some rough moments during her teenage years. In college, she applied herself equally to making good grades and partying and drinking. She was hospitalized 18 times for what appeared to her mother to be legitimate medical reasons such as pneumonia, bronchitis and kidney issues.

Insanely Popular Video Game Fortnite Is Turning Some Children Into ‘Nightmares’
(By Movieguide) An extensive article by Daily Mail U.K. reports that mothers across London note substantial changes in their children’s behavior. Why the noticeable shift? The popular video game Fortnite seems to be the root of the problem. One 9-year-old girl was even sent to rehab. “Parents sought help after finding her playing the game in the middle of the night, sat on a urine-soaked cushion, as she had been too engrossed to go to the toilet.”
A 15-year-old boy was hospitalized. Fortnite “left him unable to go to school for a year and needing vitamin D tablets because of a lack of sunlight.” A mother states of her son, Luke, “He was such a lovely boy, but this game has turned him into a nightmare.” Why all the chaos? The premise of the game is survival of the fittest. Gamers are dropped into a location of their choosing, into a preset map and urged to survive. Guns and other life are available throughout play, encouraging gamers to stay alive as long as possible.

Katy Perry claims she never left God in new interview
Katy Perry says she’s never left God, though her spirituality has evolved over the years, according to a new interview with Vogue Australia. “My mom has prayed for me my entire life, hoping I’d come back to God,” Perry says. “I never left Him, I was just a little bit secular, I was more materialistic and more career-driven. But now that I’m in my 30s, it’s more about spirituality and heart-wholeness.” Pentecostal parents Keith and Mary Hudson raised Perry in the church.
As a child, Perry sang in the church choir and even released a Christian album. “My first words were ‘Mama’ and ‘Dada, ‘God’ and ‘Satan,'” Perry said in 2017. “Right and wrong were taught to me on felt boards and, of course, through the glamorous Jan Crouch crying diamond teardrops every night on that Vaseline-TBN television screen. When I was growing up, homosexuality was synonymous with the word ‘abomination’ … and hell.

LYING SIGNS AND WONDERS: Virgin Mary statue appears to ‘weep’ olive oil tears that smell like roses
The Catholic Diocese of Las Cruces has made some progress investigating a Virgin Mary sculpture in a Hobbs, New Mexico church that appears to be weeping. Bishop Oscar Cantú of the diocese — which spans all of southern New Mexico, including Hobbs — said Friday a sample of the fluid collected from the sculpture was sent for chemical analysis.
“And we determined it was olive oil, a scented olive oil,” he said. “Some of the witnesses claimed it smelled of roses, so something similar to the oil I bless and consecrate each year that we use for baptism, for confirmations and for the ordination of the priests.” The fact it is olive oil doesn’t preclude the occurrence from being deemed a church miracle. But an investigation is still underway.

DAYS OF NOAH: Genetically modified babies given go ahead by UK ethics body
The Nuffield Council on Bioethics says changing the DNA of a human embryo could be ‘morally permissible’ if it is in the child’s best interests.  The creation of babies whose DNA has been altered to give them what parents perceive to be the best chances in life has received a cautious green light in a landmark report from a leading UK ethics body. The Nuffield Council on Bioethics said that changing the DNA of a human embryo could be “morally permissible” if it was in the future child’s interests and did

not add to the kinds of inequalities that already divide society. The report does not call for a change in UK law to permit genetically altered babies, but instead urges research into the safety and effectiveness of the approach, its societal impact, and a widespread debate of its implications. “It is our view that genome editing is not morally unacceptable in itself,” said Karen Yeung, chair of the Nuffield working group and professor of law, ethics and informatics at the University of Birmingham.

NETFLIX Announces Series About 12-Year-Old Boy Reincarnated as Jesus…
Well, we finally know what’s been going on in Millarworld since it relocated to Netflix, as the streaming service announced Tuesday its first slate of films and series based on the stories of “Kick-A**” and “Kingsman” comic book creator Mark Millar.  The lineup includes two TV shows: “Jupiter’s Legacy” (to be showrun by Steven S. DeKnight) and “American Jesus,” about a 12-year-old boy who discovers he’s reincarnated as Jesus Christ.

“He can turn water into wine, make the crippled walk, and, perhaps, even raise the dead,” reads the network’s description of the show, based on a 2009 comic book series. Millar’s Netflix slate also includes three feature films — “Empress,” “Huck” and “Sharkey the Bounty Hunter.” And, as you’d expect from the mastermind behind some of the most creative comic titles out there, the projects center around unusual characters like multi-generational superheroes, galactic royalty and space bounty hunters.

Chicago could soon test universal basic income program…
Chicago Alderman Ameya Pawar is worried about the future. He is concerned that a coming wave of automation could put millions of people out of work and result in more extreme politics. Pointing to investments in autonomous vehicles by companies like Tesla, Amazon, and Uber, Pawar observed that long-haul trucking jobs, historically a source of middle-class employment, may become obsolete. More people out of work means more political polarization, says Pawar.
”We have to start talking about race and class and geography, but also start talking about the future of work as it relates to automation. All of this stuff is intertwined.” Before leaving the race after being outspent by two billionaire candidates, Pawar campaigned for the Illinois Democratic Party’s nomination for governor. One of the themes of his candidacy was that politicians were scapegoating various racial or ethnic groups for their constituents’ material problems.

Pentagon creating Mind-Control technology for US troops
The Defense Department’s research arm is working on a project that connects human operators’ brains to the systems they’re controlling—and vice versa. The idea of humans controlling machines with their minds has spun off sci-fi blockbusters like “Pacific Rim” and entire subgenres of foreign film, but while today skyscraper-sized fighting robots exist only on the big screen, the Pentagon is building technology that could one day make them a reality.
Today, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is selecting teams to develop a “neural interface” that would both allow troops to connect to military systems using their brainwaves and let those systems transmit back information directly to users’ brains. The Next-Generation Non-Surgical Neurotechnology, or N3, program aims to combine the speed and processing power of computers with humans’ ability to adapt to complex situations, DARPA said.

RUMORS OF WAR: Israel Warns Hamas Will ‘Pay Heavy Price’ if Fire Kites and Flaming Balloons Don’t Stop
Israel is warning Hamas that it will “pay a heavy price” if their aggression along the Gaza border continues.  Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told residents of Gaza border towns that Israel is prepared for a “lengthy battle” with Hamas. “It is important that Hamas will understand it is facing a wall of steel, and this wall consists, first of all, of a determined government with strong local leadership
and Zionist communities that we will continue to strengthen and, of course, the IDF (Israel Defense Forces),” Netanyahu told Israeli residents Monday. Despite agreeing to a cease-fire, Palestinians launched fresh attacks with kites and balloons loaded with flammable material aimed at Israel, setting fires to farmlands and forests. Israel’s military is urging Gazans to speak out against such terror tactics.

Liver cancer death rate in US surged 43% in 16 years

Liver cancer death rate in US surged 43% in 16 years
Death rates from liver cancer increased 43% for American adults from 2000 to 2016, according to a report released Tuesday by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics. The increase comes even as mortality for all cancers combined has declined. Liver cancer death rates increased for both men and women 25 and older, as well as white, black and Hispanic people. Only Asians and Pacific Islanders saw a decrease in mortality from liver cancer. The rise in
mortality doesn’t mean that liver cancer is deadlier than before, according to Dr. Jiaquan Xu, the author of the report; the 10-year survival rate for liver cancer didn’t change much. Rather, the increase in mortality means more people are developing liver cancer. More than 70% of liver cancers are caused by underlying liver disease, which has risk factors such as obesity, smoking, excess alcohol consumption, and hepatitis B and C infection, said Dr. Farhad Islami, the scientific director of cancer surveillance research at the American Cancer Society.

Indian Leader Says Government Will Turn Its Back on People Who Change Their Religion
One of India’s parliament members says tribal people known as “Advasis” should be barred from government aid if they convert from their religion.  Dinesh Kashyap from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) made the controversial statement during a recent rally. “Conversion is a big problem. Those Adivasis, who have converted their religion, shouldn’t be allowed to avail benefits of different government facilities,” Kashyap said.
When asked by reporters what he meant by his statement, Kashyap doubled down on his harsh words. “This is my own thinking. Those who convert their religion should be barred from government facilities. I think this should be followed. The number of such cases will decrease once this rule will be brought into action,” he told ANI, one of South Asia’s leading news agencies.

Two Norwegian Hospitals Refuse to Perform Circumcisions in Direct Violation of the Country’s Law

Two Norwegian Hospitals Refuse to Perform Circumcisions in Direct Violation of the Country’s Law
Two hospitals in Norway have refused to perform circumcisions on male infants, even though they are in direct violation of the law.  According to the website Jews News, The Stavanger Aftenblad regional newspaper reports that Stavanger University Hospital and Haukeland University Hospital in Bergen would not perform circumcisions on boys younger than three years of age. The announcement contradicts a Norwegian law passed three years ago which requires all hospitals in the Scandinavian country to provide circumcision or provide a contractor for the procedure.
When the law was passed, 13 of the 15 urologists on the Akershus University Hospital (Ahus) staff, responded to the hospital’s administration with written statements on why they should not be required to perform circumcisions. During an interview in 2015 with the Norwegian news service, News in English, Dr. Frode Steinar Nilsen, a urologist at Ahus, called circumcision “a surgical operation with no health advantages and one that, as with all surgery, carries with it a risk and a burden for the child. That’s why we don’t want to perform it.”

Hawaii Tour Boat Blasted With Lava Bomb Leaving 23 Injured
It’s called Lava Ocean Tours, but this wasn’t what the guests signed on for.  Hawaii tour boat operators say they will continue taking visitors to see lava from the Kilauea volcano, but will stay farther away after a volcanic explosion Monday fired lava and chunks of debris hundreds of yards in the air and right through the roof of their tour boat.  The explosion injured 23 people, and four passengers were taken by
ambulance to a hospital including a 20-year-old woman who is described as having a broken thigh and “major leg trauma.”  Matthias Kusch of the Hawaii County Fire Department said, “The vessel called in that it had some injuries due to steam burns and injuries due to falling lava and debris.” Glenda and Kenneth Fay were on another boat nearby when it happened. “(The volcano) just exploded straight out at the boat,” Glenda said. “We could hear the rocks hit the boat, and the people yelling.”

School Threatens to Call Police on Person Handing Out Bibles to Elementary Students
An Illinois school district has sent a cease and desist letter to a community member who was handing out Bibles to students on school property and has threatened to call the cops if Bible distribution continues. At the request of the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation, the La Harpe Community School District has ordered an elementary school principal to stop placing Bible verses on official school correspondence and has also told an unnamed evangelist to stop passing out Bibles on school property.
In May, FFRF sent a letter to Superintendent Ryan Olson to voice two complaints about Christianity being promoted on school grounds in ways that the group claims violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The first complaint involved La Harpe Elementary School Principal Lila McKeown.

Satan Wants to Destroy Your Marriage; Here’s How You Can Fight Back
Jul 17, 2018 | 0  |     
Satan Wants to Destroy Your Marriage; Here’s How You Can Fight Back
(By Dr. Carol Peters-Tanksley) Sometimes even before the honeymoon is over, it seems “the world, the flesh and the devil” are conspiring to destroy your marriage. Contemporary culture seems especially aligned against long-term healthy marriages. So if you want yours to be the exception, you will need to learn to fight for your marriage.  Fighting for your marriage is different than fighting your spouse. You and your spouse are both sinners, but seeing your spouse as the enemy will expedite the deterioration of your relationship.
Choose to look behind the frustrations and conflict to the true enemy—Satan and his kingdom of darkness. Look behind the obvious and remember who gains if your marriage is troubled or destroyed. Add to that the natural deterioration of anything of value that is not regularly maintained and invested in. You and your spouse have work to do. Look at your relationship as something you are building together. You’re not fighting against your spouse; you’re together fighting against the elements that would seek to push you apart. Here are some ways to effectively fight for your marriage and build a lasting relationship.

Sex robots fuelling massive rise in sex addiction
WARNING: Viewer discretion is advised
More access to artificially intelligent sex robots could fuel a rise in sex addiction, warn psychology experts. The controversial pleasure droids are being manufactured by a range of companies in the US and Japan, including Californian sex tech startup Realbotix, makers of the Harmony 3.0 super doll.  These male and female bots are expected to sell for around £8,000 in the UK. While their creators claim
they can prove a boon for struggling marriages and lonely or disabled men, experts aren’t convinced about their benefits to society at large. Psychological therapist Dr Thaddeus Birchard told Daily Star Online that life-like robots featuring AI could be another outlet for sex addicts to express their compulsion.

15 Flashpoints That Could Produce A “Perfect Storm” in the Next 6 Months
(By Micahel Snyder) Events are beginning to greatly accelerate, and many believe that the ingredients for a “perfect storm” are starting to come together as we enter the second half of 2018.  Other than the continual drama surrounding the Trump presidency, things have been quite calm for the past couple of years. We have been enjoying a time of peace, safety and relative economic prosperity that a lot of Americans have begun
to take for granted. But great trouble has been brewing under the surface, and many are wondering if we are about to reach a major turning point. Our planet is being shaken physically, emotionally and financially, and it isn’t going to take much to push us over the edge. The following are 15 flashpoints which could create world-changing events during the second half of 2018…

After deadly floods, now dangerous heatwave kills at least 8 in Japan
This summer 2018, Japan is experiencing dramatic natural disasters, one after the other. After deadly floods, dramatic landslides and a strong quake 10 days ago, now a deadly heatwave is currently sitting over the country and doesn’t seem to decrease in intensity. Two people died and about 2,000 people suffered heatstroke or exhaustion on Sunday,
as a heatwave continued scorching Japan during a three-day weekend. The weather agency warned people to take measures to prevent heatstroke and exhaustion, as the hot weather is expected to continue through next Sunday.  Temperatures rose above 35°C in many parts of western and eastern Japan with the highest for Sunday at 38.8°C recorded in the city of Fukuchiyama, Kyoto and the town of Ibigawa, Gifu.

11-million-ton iceberg threatens to strike tiny Greenland village with tsunami

11-million-ton iceberg threatens to strike tiny Greenland village with tsunami
An 11-million ton iceberg, perched off the coast of a tiny Greenland village, is striking fear in the hearts of residents. Residents of Innaarsuit worry that a chunk of it could break off and unleash a tsunami upon the town. What happens to the gigantic mountain of ice, which a Danish meteorologist said is 650 feet wide—nearly the length of two football fields—
and rises almost 300 feet into the air, depends largely on the weather. A strong wind could push the iceberg into the nearby Baffin Bay, averting a crisis. Alternatively, a large amount of warm precipitation could further destabilize the berg and cause a large piece to break off and create a wave that would inundate the town.

DAYS OF LOT: Transgender Referrals for Kids as Young as 6 Hit Record High in Scotland
The number of children, some as young as six, being referred under the guidance promoting transsexualism at schools after they express confusion over their “gender identity” has reached a record high in Scotland, according to a report.  As many as 222 children were referred to specialist services last year, a 21 percent increase since the previous year, according to The Christian Institute, which said a
report by the Scottish Public Health Network reveals that children as young as six had been referred. The average age of those being referred has also fallen from 15 years in 2014 to under 14 in 2017, the Institute found. The guidance, whose front cover bears the logo of the Scottish Government, recommends that schools support children “to explore and express their identity regardless of their age,” and abstain from informing parents if their children are sharing overnight accommodation with transgender pupils.

Yemen rocked by magnitude 6.2 earthquake
A huge earthquake registering magnitude 6.2 has struck Yemen, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The quake struck 213 km northwest of Socotra island in the Gulf of Aden.
There was no immediate no tsunami warning. Earthquakes registering between 6.0-6.9 on the Richter Scale are expected to result in moderate damage to a number of well-built structures. It is felt in wider areas, up to hundreds of miles from the epicenter.

Hawaii gets new island as erupting volcanic crater continues to spew lava into sea

Hawaii gets new island as erupting volcanic crater continues to spew lava into sea
Lava flows that have been cascading into the sea have formed a brand new, small island off the coast of Hawaii after a crater at Mount Kilauea exploded with the force of a 5.2-magnitude earthquake. Friday’s crater explosion sparked a slow-moving flood of lava that destroyed hundreds of homes at Kapoho, on the Big Island. A once-scenic bay dotted with idyllic beach homes, parkland, and turquoise water used for swimming and scuba diving was quickly turned into a menacing, steaming dark pool.
When the lava cooled, the sea peeled back to reveal a small island jutting out from the depths only a few meters from the mainland. “According to Hawaii News Now, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory estimated that the island is about 20 to 30 feet in diameter. The new island formed at the northernmost part of the ocean entry and is “oozing lava similar to the lava oozing from the broad flow front along the coastline.”

Britain experiencing hottest July in 400 years
This July is the hottest for nearly 400 years with Britain set to become deathly hot.  Forecasters have said the country is experiencing record temperatures after the mercury soared to 32C today. The Met Office said the run of boiling weather is “certainly” not ending, saying it will carry on for at least another 40 days.
It is predicted tomorrow will see a 32C heat blast of tropical air, making it the 23rd day in a row that temperatures have climbed above 27C. Heatwaves like this have claimed numerous lives in the past, with at least two people dying due to boiling temperatures last summer. However, not all of the UK will be roasted, with Scotland forecast some rain in the next month.

DEVELOPING: Fissures and cracks open near Jenny Lake in Wyoming
Grand Teton National Park has closed the Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point tourist attractions because of concerns that a fissuring rock wall could pose a danger, as growing cracks and fissures were observed in the large buttress above Hidden Falls. The main crack is about 100 feet (30 meters) long and runs horizontally along a rock wall that’s at least 100 feet tall.
Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point are located in the popular Jenny Lake area and are among the park’s busiest attractions. Other Jenny Lake attractions, including the ferry, remain open. Grand Teton National Park officials say there is no estimate for when the park’s popular Hidden Falls area will reopen to the public.

End-Time Weariness: Haven’t We Waited Long Enough?
(By PNW) The malady goes by many names: End-time weariness; Rapture fatigue; Israel burn-out. The results are the same: The scoffers and skeptics are gaining too much territory and too many followers. The fact that the King is coming is boring and just old news. What Hal Lindsey wrote in 1969 in his classic “The Late-Great Planet Earth”, in the eyes of many, did not come to pass. Thus, there is a collective so-what sigh. Haven’t we waited long enough?? It is the tragedy of my lifetime –
and I never thought I would see the day.  Recently I read a revealing article in The Guardian recommended by Bill Koenig. It talks about the destruction of the new Christian progressiveness. This article suggests: – “The Late-Great Planet Earth” and the “Left Behind” series prophesied a lot of things that have not yet come to pass. Haven’t we waited long enough? Isn’t it time to move on from their message?

Baseball stadiums ditching ticket stubs for facial recognition and biometric ticketing
Well, your fingers to be exact.  This season, several Major League Baseball stadiums will allow patrons to enter by scanning their fingertips.  According to Fox Business, the MLB will partner with the services firm CLEAR to link a person’s ticketing information to their fingertips using biometric ticketing. The plan is to eventually develop facial recognition as well.
“We’ll be able to immediately link CLEAR accounts to their MLB.com account. Your biometrics, your face and fingerprint, become your ticket,” CLEAR co-founder and CEO Caryn Seidman-Becker told FOX Business.  CLEAR is already available at airports, allowing passengers to skip the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) lines and head straight to the metal detectors and body scanners.

Walmart patents audio surveillance technology to record customers and employees
Walmart wants to listen to its workers and shoppers more. A lot more. America’s largest retailer has patented surveillance technology that could essentially spy on cashiers and customers by collecting audio data in stores. The proposal raises questions about how recordings of conversations would be used and whether the practice would even be legal in some Walmart stores. “This is a very bad idea,” Sam Lester,
consumer privacy counsel of the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington, D.C., told CBS News. “If they do decide to implement this technology, the first thing we would want and expect is to know which privacy expectations are in place.” Walmart’s patent filing says the “sound sensors” would focus on minute details of the shopping and checkout experience, such as the beeps of item scanners and the rustling of bags, and they could also pick up conversations of workers and customers. It’s unclear so far how that chatter could be used.

Trump calls European Union enemy of USA…
Coming off a contentious NATO summit and a trip to the U.K. in which he seemed to undercut the government of America’s closest ally, President Trump took aim at another Western institution just days before his high-stakes meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.  In an interview with “CBS Evening News” anchor Jeff Glor in Scotland on Saturday, President Trump named the European Union — comprising some of America’s oldest allies — when asked to identify his “biggest foe globally right now.”
“Well, I think we have a lot of foes. I think the European Union is a foe, what they do to us in trade. Now, you wouldn’t think of the European Union, but they’re a foe. Russia is foe in certain respects. China is a foe economically, certainly they are a foe. But that doesn’t mean they are bad. It doesn’t mean anything. It means that they are competitive,” Mr. Trump said at his golf club in Turnberry, Scotland.

Megachurch Pastor says this is the number one reason we don’t have Revival
(By Jack Graham) This month has seen some huge judicial victories for God’s people here in America, as the Supreme Court ruled in favor of both a Christian business owner and of pro-life crisis pregnancy centers in California.  I applaud these judicial decisions and commend those who celebrate this victory and ready themselves to press on and fight for more victories. Yet I sometimes wonder: Have we forgotten the victory that must precede all the others? I fear that we often do forget.
Now, I don’t mean to detract from victories for our faith here in our country; I only stop to meditate clearly on truth amid the noise of potentially short-sighted pride in ourselves and our own efforts, rather than praise for God and his provision. Our best intentions and fiery can-do attitudes may deafen us to our need of spiritual victory, which must come first and foremost. And it all starts with prayer.

CDC warns public on Kellogg’s Honey Smacks: “Do not eat this cereal”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says a popular Kellogg’s cereal has been linked to a salmonella outbreak that has infected 100 people in 33 states. The CDC tweeted Thursday that customers should avoid Honey Smacks. “Do not eat this cereal,” the warning read. The agency says it found
salmonella in samples of Honey Smacks, which has been subject to a voluntary recall by Kellogg since mid-June. In June, Kellogg said it was investigating the third-party manufacturer that produces Honey Smacks after it was contacted by the FDA and CDC about the illness. The CDC says that regardless of expiration date, the cereal should be thrown away or returned to a retailer for a refund.

5-year-Old Cancer Patient Writes His Own Obituary, and It’s Downright Precious
Writing your own child’s obituary is something no parent ever hopes to do. Iowa parents Emilie and Ryan Matthias knew that they would eventually face this unthinkable task when in June their 5-year-old son Garrett’s cancer was declared terminal. Last September, Garrett was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer that attacked his cranial nerve, inner ear and temporal bone, Fox News reported.
Garrett died on July 6, but his legacy is being spread far and wide, thanks to the unique obituary he helped craft himself. In the months leading up to his passing, Garrett spoke frankly with his parents about death. Emilie Matthias told the Des Moines Register that their family attended several funerals of other cancer patients, and Garrett was troubled by how sad everyone seemed.

McDonald’s Pulls Salads From 3,000 Restaurants Amid Cyclospora Illnesses
McDonald’s has stopped selling salads at some 3,000 locations across the country amid a multi-state parasite outbreak that has sickened dozens of customers.  Officials with the fast-food restaurant chain said in a statement Friday that the salads have been removed from “impacted restaurants,” mainly in the Midwest, “out of an abundance of caution” until it can find a new supplier.
The announcement comes after public health authorities in Illinois and Iowa warned that a number of recent cyclospora infections in those states appear to be linked to the salads. “McDonald’s is committed to the highest standards of food safety and quality control,” McDonald’s said in the statement, adding that it is cooperating with public health officials investigating the outbreak.

Scientists discover two new viruses that could lead to deadly disease x outbreak.
Experts are trying to get ahead of disease X – an unknown pathogen that could trigger a global pandemic – before it wipes out swathes of humanity.  The Predict project has been looking through the animal kingdom to discover viruses which could one day mutate and evolve to kill of humanity. Now, a group of scientists from the Smithsonian Institute in the United States and University of California, have
discovered two new viruses in Myanmarese bats. The viruses which were discovered belonged to the coronavirus family which have already caused two outbreaks on Earth. One is the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) which infected about 8,000 people in 2003. The other is the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) which has a 35 percent mortality rate and was first identified in 2012.

Ticks that carry Lyme disease are spreading fast
Think you live in a place that’s free from disease-carrying ticks? Don’t be so sure.  Citizen scientists found ticks capable of transmitting Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses in dozens of places across the United States where the pests had never previously been recorded, a new study reports. All told, disease-carrying ticks were detected in 83 counties where they’d never been found before across 24 states.
The numbers reflect a rise in tick populations across the country, said study author Nate Nieto. He’s an associate professor with Northern Arizona University’s department of biological sciences. “People should be aware of ticks and tick-borne disease, even when they may think there’s not a recorded incidence of a tick in a county,” Nieto said.

RUMORS OF WAR: Israel vows ‘strong action’ against Hamas after over 170 rockets and mortars hit southern Israel
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to take “strong action” against Hamas after more than 170 rockets and mortar shells were fired at southern Israel on Saturday.  At least three Israelis, a 52-year-old man and two girls, ages 14 and 15, were injured when one of the rockets landed on the roof of their home in the southern Israeli city of Sderot. A second rocket hit a synagogue in Sderot, which was empty at the time
The Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted at least 30 of the rockets. In response to the rocket fire, the Israel Defense Forces struck 40 Hamas targets in Gaza, including a high-rise building in the Shati refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip used as a terror training facility. The IDF said in a statement that it did not bomb the building until its residents were warned and had time to leave. The IDF also bombed weapons manufacturing facilities, warehouses for storing weapons, and training compounds, as well as two terror tunnels, the IDF said in a statement.

 Öræfajökull volcano in Iceland displaying above average unrest

Öræfajökull volcano in Iceland displaying above average unrest
Öræfajökull volcano in southeastern Iceland, the largest active volcano and the highest peak in Iceland, is showing clear signs of unrest with an inflation phase for at least a year and a half. The last eruptive episode of this volcano started in August 1727 and ended in May 1728.  The inflation is ongoing and is reflected by increased seismicity and characteristic deformation pattern, Icelandic Department of Civil Protection said July 13, after a series of meeting with scientists from The Icelandic Meteorological Office, The University of Iceland and Iceland Geosurvey.
There are no signs of a decrease in the inflation rate or the seismicity and the state of unrest persists despite a decrease in geothermal activity since last December. The source causing the inflation is most likely injection of new magma, scientists said. The volume change since the start of the unrest is of the order of magnitude of 10 million m3 (about 0.2 m3/sec) comparable to the intrusion activity in Eyjafjallajökull some years before the eruption in 2010.

FALLING AWAY: The United Methodist Church has appointed a transgender deacon
The bishop spoke the traditional words as she placed her hands on the new deacon named M with just a slight difference from the way those words have always been spoken before. “Pour out your Holy Spirit upon M,” the bishop said. “Send them now to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ, to announce the
reign of God and to equip the church for ministry.” Not “send him now” or “send her now.” “Send them now.” That’s what M Barclay has been working for 12 years to finally hear. Barclay, a transgender person who identifies as neither male nor female and thus uses the pronoun “they,” was commissioned on Sunday as the first non-binary member of the clergy in the United Methodist Church.

Ariana Grande Says Her New Song ‘God Is a Woman’ is ‘Empowering’
Chart-topping pop singer Ariana Grande released a new single this week that can only be described as bizarre. In the explicit new track titled “God Is A Woman,” she argues that having sex with a woman will make you believe that God is in fact, a woman.
Grande released the song a week in advance, much to the surprise of her fans, after teasing the lyrics on Twitter Wednesday.  The song has already caused a mass reaction, with many of Grande’s fans celebrating the sacrilegious lyrics as an anthem of women’s empowerment, and publications praising the sultry tune.

A Rancho Cordova community is itching for answers after several neighbors reported getting rashes and what appears to be a bizarre allergic reaction.  Many of the incidents happened last weekend at a time when several fires broke out nearby. That made many people wonder if the smoke in the air caused the
complaints on the skin.“My skin was getting tight and swollen and I was constantly itching my neck,” said Jenni Matamoros. She took to Facebook with a photo showing the shocking skin rash she got over the weekend just hours after returning home from a BBQ. She was at home watching a movie with her husband with the windows open when she started to feel uncomfortable.

May God’s Underground Church in America Arise

May God’s Underground Church in America Arise
(By Bert Farias) Someone recently asked me what I see for America and the church’s future. Right now, I am seeing the beginning and mushrooming of an evolution of sorts concerning both the nation and the church. Not everything is as it appears.  Here’s a powerful word from the Spirit of God that I’ve shared before: Do not look at the TV and larger media ministries to try to understand what I am doing in my body today. They have a part to play, but they are the visible to the eye veneer of the body that people see.
Those who are carnal and immature see the outward appearance and are impressed, thinking that these are the height of ministry and where the Spirit is concentrating today. But they are mistaken. See what I see, many small churches and ministries investing in relationships, walking in love, pouring their lives into each other; this is where the Spirit is moving today. There is a revolution taking place in my body, a revolution of relationships, discipleship, and love. This will affect whole communities and economies.” —John Fenn, Church Without Walls International.

Alabama Man Takes Over Church Pulpit and Pulls Out Gun
An Alabama man who allegedly took over a church pulpit during a worship service Sunday, July 8, tried to pull out a gun before being tackled by congregation members, according to AP. No shots were fired. The irate man reportedly talked about his pending divorce while in control of the pulpit at O’Neal Church of Christ in Athens, Alabama, reports say.
The suspect, 34-year-old Thomas Zebulun Lewter, has been charged with making a terroristic threat at the church, says Limestone County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Stephen Young. “During the service, he approached the pulpit and announced that he was sorry he was going to have to do what he had to do,” says wife Kathryn Lewter, who filed for divorce last month. Since the incident, she has petitioned the court for protection from abuse.

DEVELOPING: Eruptions intensify, off scale seismicity at Anak Krakatau, Indonesia
Explosive activity at Anak Krakatau in Indonesia continues and its seismicity is reportedly going off the scale today, July 12, 2018. “Krakatau is going crazy … 100 times explosion a day. Very loud and could be heard until Carita, 42 km (26 miles) away,” Volcano Discovery’s Indonesian volcano expedition leader
said July 12. Just a few hours ago, photographer and volcano-enthusiast Øystein L. Andersen, said activity at the volcano is quite unique now. “It seems like you can now see a bright glow from the eruption from the coast of Java, 50 km (31 miles) away.”

Extreme hot weather in UK producing plague of bloodsucking horse-flies

Extreme hot weather in UK producing plague of bloodsucking horse-flies
The hot weather has seen populations of bloodsucking clegs – or horse-flies – reach Mediterranean levels.  The insects have sharp jaws and can cause a very painful bite. What makes them unusual is that, unlike midge bites, they cut into the skin rather than pierce it. Antibiotic Research UK (ANTRUK) has
warned that bites could result in painful swellings and the possibility of infections which might not be treatable with our existing antibiotics. The charity’s chief executive professor Colin Garner said: “It is entirely possible in 2018 that you can die of an insect bite, not just in some hot foreign clime, but here in Britain.” There is also a chance of infectious that may not respond to current antibiotics.

Franklin Graham: President Carter ‘Absolutely Wrong’ on Jesus Approving of Gay Marriage
Evangelist Franklin Graham responds to former President Jimmy Carter’s recent assertion that Jesus himself would approve of gay marriage, saying the former president is “absolutely wrong.”  In a short video clip of an interview published to the news website HuffPost Live Sunday and picked up by Breitbart.com, Carter spoke about his religious faith. He said as a politician he never ran across  “any really serious conflicts between my political obligations and my religious faith.”
When asked about gay marriage, the 39th president said ” That’s no problem with me. I think everybody should have a right to get married regardless of their sex.”  Carter told the interviewer that the “only thing he would draw a line on is… I wouldn’t be in favor of the government being able to force a local church to perform gay marriages if they didn’t want to.”

Two Sizable Asteroids Were Spotted Zooming Past Earth
The Earth had some visitors not too long ago in the form of two asteroids.  The asteroids are officially known as 2018 NW and 2018 NX, according to a report from CNet, and they were said to be about the size of a school bus, with both estimated to have a diameter of 33 feet. At their closest points, scientists
noted that they got within 72,000 miles of Earth, meaning they were significantly closer to the planet than the moon. 2018 NW was observed to be the faster of the two, with a recorded velocity of 47,647 mph. Asteroids moving close to and eventually past the Earth happens relatively often, with the report noting that something like that takes place every few weeks or so.

Nigerian Christians Unite to Pray for ‘Carnage’ of Believers to End
The Christian Association of Nigeria held a national prayer session on Wednesday against the “barbaric killing” of Christians at the hands of radical Muslim herdsmen, as the country reels from another deadly rampage this week where 39 people were killed in the north. “The church wants the carnage to stop,” CAN President Rev. Supo Ayokunle said.
CAN is considering a nationwide protest against the killing of believers, according to ThisDayLive. Ayokunle said that the ongoing killings, where some estimate as many as 6,000 believers have been slaughtered since the start of the year, are turning Nigeria into a “deserted land.” The Catholic Archbishop of Abuja Metropolitan See, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, said that now more than ever, it is time for Christians to unite.

Fresh Fire USA founder and healing evangelist Todd Bentley claimed during a “Supernatural Debt Forgiveness Jubilee Service” Sunday that he has had live encounters with angels during his ministry similar to those experienced by biblical figures, including a visit from a shirtless “financial angel” in a dingy hotel room and another in his home where the angel wrestled him in his bed. “It (angel) appeared to me as a person.

He explained that at the time he was an evangelist based in Canada and was invited by a group of churches in Oregon to minister due to his reputation as a “miracle healing guy.”

RUMORS OF WAR: Ex-diplomat warns World War 3 could break out following another chemical attack in Syria

RUMORS OF WAR: Ex-diplomat warns World War 3 could break out following another chemical attack in Syria
Syria could face a major crisis in the event of another chemical attack as it may justify US-led military intervention in the country, a former Foreign Office official has warned. Peter Ford, the UK’s former ambassador to Syria, said a situation similar to the alleged chemical attack in Douma in April could spark a widespread military operation against the Syrian regime and Bashar al-Assad’s army.
Speaking to RT, Mr Ford said: “The real potential flashpoint is a return to a Douma-like situation. “Remember in April, we were close to World War 3. We were talking in those terms. “It’s perfectly foreseeable that the same conditions will be produced, and I believe there will be another fake chemical attack, which will trigger a really dangerous crisis.” US-led airstrikes in Syria following the April attack were carried out before formal investigations were conducted to determine whether chemical weapons were used.

‘We Prayed…and I Cried’: Porn Star Accepts Jesus and Immediately Quits the Industry
Ex-porn star Crissy Outlaw has gained quite a bit of attention over the past few years speaking about how she found Jesus and immediately left the adult film industry.  Outlaw recently told Lucas Miles, host of “The Lucas Miles” podcast, that she “never planned on going into the sex industry,” though that’s where her path tragically led her. Now, after leaving the money and fame behind, Outlaw is an outspoken
Christian who has repeatedly said that she feels “called” to tell people why she left the industry in an effort to help prevent others from making the same mistakes she did. “Most people can think about their pasts and can easily hide it … never sharing it with anyone for the rest of their lives. The evidence and consequences of my past mistakes will never go away,” Outlaw writes on her website. “I have to deal with this daily, and it isn’t easy. I find happiness in using my past to help others who might be going down a similar path.”

60 Churches Bombed or Burned in Burma, Facing Genocide
Members of the interfaith tolerance group gathered in Washington, DC on Tuesday to detail the plight of the Rohingya, and to warn that the Kachin also face potential ethnic cleansing.  Roberts said he was alarmed to learn that the same Burmese military units that have burned villages, and have raped and killed Rohingya ethnics in Rakhine State, are now on patrol in the Kachin State. “When you radicalize
and you create such violence among soldiers that have been raping and murdering, you just don’t turn that switch off,” he said.  He said military units have bombed or burned at least 60 churches in the past 18-months. Last October, Roberts joined Rabbi David Saperstein on a trip to assess the plight of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh.

Radical Hindu Mob Beats 150 Christians During Prayers; 20 Seriously Injured, Limbs Broken
A radical Hindu mob of some 35 people attacked a group of 150 Christians last week that had gathered together for prayer in the Pratapgarh District of India’s Uttar Pradesh State, seriously injuring 20 of them.  International Christian Concern, which reports on violence believers face around the world, said that the assault happened on July 2 during a prayer meeting. Ram Kumar Gautam, a 42-year-old Christian,
who has been leading the prayer meetings in Raikashipur village for over five years, said that the Hindu radicals arrived in vehicles last week. The attackers stormed the meeting hall and began beating people with wooden lathies and sticks, also firing a gun five times in the air in order to frighten the believers. “I didn’t sleep or eat properly for nearly a week now,” Gautam told ICC, adding that besides the injured Christians, 10 motorcycles and other property were damaged.

In the summer of 2015, 53-year-old Vitaly Korchevsky, pastor of the Slavic Evangelical Baptist Church in Brookhaven, Pennsylvania, insisted to his congregants that his heart was “clean before the Lord” after he was arrested for his alleged involvement in what the FBI called the largest known computer hacking and securities fraud scheme.  On Friday, however, Korchevsky, a former Morgan Stanley vice president, was
convicted of profiting at least $14 million from 2011 to 2015 by trading securities on information he got from earnings reports and other market-moving announcements stolen by Ukrainian hackers before they were released publicly, Bloomberg reported. Korchevsky and his co-defendant in the international scam, Vladislav Khalupsky, were found guilty of all counts related to the scheme, including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, computer intrusion and money laundering and two securities fraud charges.

New river of lava emerges in Hawaii as fissure flow becomes unpredictable
A river of lava is spreading across Hawaii’s Big Island as the flow from fissure 8 begins to show signs of becoming unstable, with no end in sight for the eruption of the Kilauea volcano. Kilauea has been in an eruptive phase since May 3, with more than 650 homes, including a property belonging to Big Island Mayor Harry Kim, destroyed so far, and more than 2,000 people evacuated. Residents are also having to
contend with noxious vapors know as vog and laze, which result when gases from the volcano react with sunlight and seawater respectively. Hawaii is 11 hours behind the UK. A spokesman for Hawaii Volcano Observatory (HVO) said: “Early this afternoon observer reported multiple overflows occurring along both sides of the main lava channel, in an area extending from near the “Y” intersection at Pohoiki Road eastwards to an area just west of Kapoho Crater.

‘God Bless Abortion’: Netflix Show Host Goes Off the Rails in Twisted Pro-Abortion Rant
This past July 4th, most people spent time with family, eating copious amounts of delicious food, soaking up the summer sun and reflecting on how lucky we are to live in a country like the United States. For one Netflix host, however, attempted to turn the holiday into a bizarre and twisted celebration of abortion.
While the rest of America was out enjoying the holiday, Michelle Wolf released her special fourth of July video that praised abortion and attacked pro-lifers.  If the roles were reversed and Sanders did this to Wolf, the media would likely have been all over it. But supporting and uplifting women is only necessary when the woman’s political views fit agenda, it would appear.

Ancient Witchcraft Trend Growing Sharply in Popularity
Sales of tarot cards have risen sharply in the last year as self-proclaimed witches claim that divination and dark magic are effective in opposing President Trump. One end-of-days expert cites this as an illogical yet divinely guided step in setting the stage for the Messianic showdown in which the two sides, good and evil, are clearly defined.
The BBC published an article last week noting a 30-percent increase in sales in tarot cards last year, citing data collected by US Games Systems, a publisher of tarot games. Tarot may be a modern trend, but its roots are ancient, with some sources claiming the deck has its origins in the Book of Thoth, a legendary tome of Egyptian occult and idolatry. Based on four suits, tarot cards are similar to common playing cards but with some significant differences that serve its primary purpose: divination.

This Unhealthy Fascination Is Leading Many Charismatics Away From Jesus
Jul 10, 2018 | 0  |     
This Unhealthy Fascination Is Leading Many Charismatics Away From Jesus
(By Eddie Hyatt) Many in the charismatic movement today are being led away from Jesus, not by sex, booze and drugs, but by an unhealthy fascination with signs, wonders and miracles. For example, a young man shared with me about being in a meeting where miracles were being greatly publicized. He said that at one point the crowd began to chant over and over “Signs! Miracles! Signs! Miracles!”  Choking back the tears, he said, “I felt grieved in my spirit.” He was also confused. Why did he feel grieved inside? Aren’t we supposed to desire miracles? I assured him that what he experienced was the Holy Spirit in him being
grieved by this crowd’s unhealthy preoccupation and fascination with miracles. Jesus had been preempted by their self-centered desire to see a miracle. This reminds me of Herod, who was “exceedingly glad” (Luke 23:8, NKJV) to finally see Jesus when Pilate sent Jesus to him during His trial. Why was Herod “exceedingly glad” to see Jesus? It wasn’t because Herod wanted to know Him and His message. Luke 23:8 goes on to say, “He hoped to see some miracle done by Him.” Herod wanted to be entertained by a miracle. His interest in Jesus and miracles was centered in himself and his own egotistical desire.

25 Preachers Accused of ‘Forced Conversions’ in India
Authorities in India’s eastern state of Jharkhand have accused 25 evangelists of allegedly trying to convert tribal Hindu villagers to Christianity. The preachers, seven of whom are women, were sharing the gospel in a remote village some 180 miles east of the state’s capital when they were confronted by local villagers who reportedly got upset with their evangelistic activities.
“The villagers became angry when they began making disparaging comments about tribal places of worship — locally called ‘Manjhi Than’ and ‘Jaher Than’ —saying that Satan resided in such places,” a senior police officer with knowledge on the case told local media. “Angry villagers asked them to stop but they did not.”

The USGS said the geyser has decided to follow a semi-regular pattern of erupting every 6-8 days over the past two months; however, it has been 20 days 20 hours 42 minutes since the last eruption on June 15th. Is Yellowstone Super-Volcano awakening? Is this leading to a greater future event?

DEVELOPING: More than 500 sick as E. coli found at TN zipline attraction
E. coli was found in water at a zipline attraction after nearly 550 visitors to the attraction reported illness, and authorities think the estimate may be low.  Initials tests confirmed the presence of E. coli and other bacteria in a well water sample at Climb Works Zip Line Canopy Tour, health officials told the Knoxville News Sentinel. People who became ill drank water served out of coolers along the course, WVLT reported.
The Tennessee Department of Health sent more than 2,000 surveys to those who reserved tours online, to determine if they became sick after visiting. Of the 808 who responded, 548 indicted they had become ill. People who became ill had visited the attraction between mid-June and early July. The company also said 80 to 100 people called them to say they became sick with gastrointestinal illnesses after visiting the attraction, WVLT reported.

A team of specialists have discovered several mosaics in Israel, including one depicting two men carrying a pole with a cluster of grapes, believed to be the two spies Moses sent to scout the land of Canaan, as found in the book of Numbers in the Bible.  The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill team announced on Monday that the first mosaics were discovered at the site of Huqoq in Israel’s Galilee,
where the synagogue excavations are taking place, in 2012 by a team led by University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Professor Jodi Magness. With the assistance of Shua Kisilevitz of the Israel Antiquities Authority and Tel Aviv University, they have uncovered additional mosaics every year, including that of Samson carrying the gate of Gaza, Noah’s Ark, the parting of the Red Sea, Jonah being swallowed by fish, and the building of the Tower of Babel.

Communist-Hired Thugs Block Christians at Beijing’s Largest House Church, Call Their Faith a ‘Cult’
A group of “thugs” hired by local Communist authorities barricaded last week the campus of Zion Church, the largest house church in Beijing, threatening Christians and calling their faith a “cult.” International Christian Concern reported that Yizhuang campus worshipers have been calling for prayers over their situation via the WeChat messaging app.
The incident at the church took place on July 5, ICC noted, when the thugs prevented the Christians from entering the third floor of the campus to gather in worship and called the Christian faith a cult. The government-hired group also stopped church members from attempting to unlock padlocks they had put in place, and blocked church administrators from trying to retrieve computers and other church documents.

A 5-month-old baby was found buried alive in the mountains of Montana over the weekend, and the sheriff’s deputy who found him says he had just given up hope when he heard a small cry.  “All night long I was preparing myself to find a dead baby,” Deputy Ross Jessop told HLN’s Mike Galanos.  The Missoula County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release that they were called to the area Sunday night
following reports of a man acting aggressive and threatening nearby campers saying he had a gun.
Deputies later learned the man, identified as Francis Carlton Crowley, was caring for his girlfriend’s son at the time, but witnesses hadn’t seen the infant for several hours. Officers searched for more than six hours for the 5-month-old after Crowley told them the baby was “somewhere in the mountains.” READ MORE https://endtimeheadlines.org/2018/07/miracle-baby-survives-9-hours-buried-alive-in-montana-woods/

Hail Satan,’ and Other Demonic Symbols Carved Into South Carolina Church
A vandal carved “Hail Satan” and other demonic symbols into a South Carolina church porch. “Do I get angry? I haven’t had that response,” Care and Mission Director at Welcome Baptist Church David Berry tells a CBS affiliate. “We’re broken-hearted that somebody would do that to the church.” Workers at the Union, South Carolina, church discovered the message,
along with an upside-down cross and an anarchy symbol, burned onto the front columns of the building that houses an addiction recovery group, according to an incident report, Fox reports. “When you see something like that, you know that person doesn’t know the Lord,” Berry says. Police estimate the vandal created about $600 worth of damage, and no immediate suspects have been named.

Another Jesus, Another Spirit, Another Gospel
In this message, we will show you why the Apostle Paul warned the Church to be on guard for the rise of another Jesus, another Spirit and another Gospel that would not only infiltrate the Body of Christ but would be welcomed with open arms and tolerated. Are we seeing this happening today? What are the characteristics of this?

‘I Don’t Believe In Luck’: Arkansas Farmer Describes ‘Miracle’ That Saved Him From Horrific Tractor Accident
Eldon Cooper is a walking miracle and a testament to the power of God.  This past February, he was checking on his pond on his Arkansas property when his John Deere tractor went under water, trapping him underneath. “People have said I was really lucky; that I should buy lottery tickets,” he told AG Daily. “Let me tell you, this was not luck.”
Cooper believes with all his heart that his survival was due to divine intervention.  “It was all God, it wasn’t anything I did,” he explained. “I couldn’t have saved myself, and they almost left me. They almost left me and was going to come back the next day.” Ever since the incident, Cooper has made it his mission to tell everyone about his survival, including various church groups and organizations. He refers to February 28, 2018, as “God’s Miracle.”

Man with 500-Year Prison Sentence on a Mission to Bring ‘Dead Things Back to Life’

Man with 500-Year Prison Sentence on a Mission to Bring ‘Dead Things Back to Life’
“I believe in the law. I promote the law. I stand with the law,” explained Newsom, who is also an ordained minister through Christ for the Nations. “On the other hand, there’s a place for mercy built into our law.” State officials have embraced a similar focus on rehabilitation, which has helped to make the Lone Star State a leader in prison reform. Since 2011, its crime rate has fallen and fewer Texans are behind bars (down from 156,000 in 2011 to 146,000). Texas is now on track to closing its eighth prison
facility in six years by the end of September 2017, four of which shuttered this year saving the state a projected $49.5 million.  Yet when Ron Adkins appeared before Judge Newsom in 1997, he found no such mercy. Texas is a “three strikes” law state, which aims to keep repeat offenders locked up for life. As a serial offender during an era of “tough on crime” sentencing guidelines, the jury hammered him with a whopping 495-year sentence for a string of home burglaries: 99 years for each of the five counts on which he was charged.

Baby killed and dozens hurt after tornado strikes North Dakota city
A newborn baby was killed and more than two dozen people were injured when a tornado whipped through a North Dakota oil patch city overnight, overturning recreational vehicles and demolishing more than 100 structures, officials said Tuesday. The storm moved through Watford City, in the northwestern part of the state, shortly after midnight, hitting an RV park the hardest, according to sheriff’s officials.
About 20 of the reported 28 injured were staying at the Prairie View RV Park where high winds overturned some campers and damaged mobile homes. The McKenzie County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release late Tuesday that a 1-week-old boy died from injuries sustained when the family’s trailer home flipped in the storm. The child’s name was not immediately released.

Smart technology sees through walls to track and identify people
A group of researchers and students at MIT have developed an intelligent radar-like technology that makes it possible to see through walls to track people as they move around, a development that could prove useful for monitoring the elderly or sick as well as for other applications — but that also raises privacy concerns.
Tests show that the technology, known as RF-Pose, can reveal whether someone is walking, sitting, standing or even waving — and can identify individuals from a known group with a success rate of 83 percent. Its developers say it could prove useful for law enforcement, search and rescue, and — perhaps most important — health care.

STD ‘stealth’ bug which makes infertile spreading rapidly…
A warning has been issued about a dangerous sexually transmitted infection which is spreading rapidly. The mycoplasma genitalium bug, known as MG, makes women infertile. One in every 100 British adults aged 18 to 44 are already thought to be infected with the bug. Experts are warning that this figure is set to double within 10 years as it becomes untreatable. A total of 3,000 women a year could lose the ability to have children, the British Association of Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) said. BASHH has published
the first official guidelines on the management of MG on Wednesday. Paddy Horner, of BASHH, told Daily Mail: “MG has the potential to become a superbug within a decade, resistant to standard antibiotics. “The greatest consequence of this is for the women who present with pelvic inflammatory disease caused by MG, which would be very hard to treat, putting them at increased risk of infertility.”

New road signs can detect mobile phones are being used in vehicles
Road signs that know when a mobile phone is being used in a moving vehicle are being installed in Norfolk, in a bid to tackle usage behind the wheel. The system, which can tell the difference between active phone calls and other activities based on the strength of a signal and how long it lasts, flashes up a red warning signal to drivers when it detects a call. The technology cannot yet log number plates or be used to help catch offending drivers, but it is hoped it will act as a deterrent.
Holding a phone while driving was outlawed in the UK in 2003 but 23% of people admitted to taking a call in last year’s RAC Report on Motoring. Inspector Jonathan

Opioids could kill nearly 500,000 Americans in the next decade

Opioids could kill nearly 500,000 Americans in the next decade
Opioids could kill nearly half a million people across America over the next decade as the crisis of addiction and overdose accelerates. Deaths from opioids have been rising sharply for years, and drug overdoses already kill more Americans under age 50 than anything else. STAT asked leading public health experts at 10 universities to forecast the arc of the epidemic over the next decade. The consensus: It will get worse before it gets better.
There are now nearly 100 deaths a day from opioids, a swath of destruction that runs from tony New England suburbs to the farm country of California, from the beach towns of Florida to the Appalachian foothills. In the worst-case scenario put forth by STAT’s expert panel, that toll could spike to 250 deaths a day, if potent synthetic opioids like fentanyl and carfentanil continue to spread rapidly and the waits for treatment continue to stretch weeks in hard-hit states like West Virginia and New Hampshire.

Archaeologists uncover gate to biblical city of Zer
Archaeologists have uncovered the entrance gate to the biblical city of Zer during excavations carried out in the Golan Heights over the past two weeks, the Golan Regional Council said Sunday. In recent days, and after a year of recess, a group of 20 archaeologists from all over the world, together with director of the Bethsaida Project, Dr. Rami Arav, and under the auspices of the Hebrew Union College, Jerusalem, conducted new excavations in two different areas of Bethsaida. The ancient fishing village is mentioned
several times in the New Testament as a city where Jesus lived and where he miraculously fed a multitude of people with five loaves and two fish. Archaeologists said the size, wealth and impressive fortifications indicate that Zer was a major city. “There are not many gates in this country from this period. Bethsaida was the name of the city during the Second Temple period, but during the First Temple period it was the city of Zer,” Arav said, pointing to Joshua 19:35, which says: “The fortified towns were Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Kinnereth.”

Mom Horrified Over What Happened To Her Young Daughter’s Avatar in Video Game
A North Carolina mother was petrified after her 7-year-old daughter showed her a graphic sexual assault she witnessed while using a multiplayer online game creation platform called Roblox. Even worse than simply seeing the scene was the fact that is was the young child’s own avatar that was assaulted on a playground in the game, mother Amber Peterson explained in a Facebook post about her daughter’s horrific experience.
“Words cannot describe the shock, disgust, and guilt that I am feeling right now,” the mother wrote, “but I’m trying to put those feelings aside so I can get this warning out to others as soon as possible.” Petersen went on to explain that, though she was able to shield her daughter from seeing the entire scene, she can’t fathom “what kind of damage this image could have on her psyche, as well as any other child that could potentially be exposed to this.”

Beth Moore Says Social Media Is ‘Producing Freaks’ and ‘Breeding Abusers’
In this era of anonymous internet warriors and cyberbullies, there really is no place to retreat. That reality became glaringly obvious to evangelist Beth Moore over the weekend, when she returned to social media after a brief hiatus.  Moore explained in a brief Twitter thread Sunday how social media has become “beyond sick” and even “potentially deadly.” Like former Obama faith adviser Michael Wear told us last week, Moore said our culture must return to “civility.”
Moore was referencing James 3:6 in her final tweet. In the passage, James wrote, “The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.”  According to The Moody Bible Commentary, the tongue “is the very world of iniquity. It sets on fire the course of our life, such as provoking a broken marriage.” What we speak — and, in this case, write — has immense power.

The world may soon witness a Category 6 hurricane
As a ferocious hurricane bears down on South Florida, water managers desperately lower canals in anticipation of 4 feet of rain. Everyone east of Dixie Highway is ordered evacuated, for fear of a menacing storm surge. Forecasters debate whether the storm will generate the 200 mph winds to achieve Category 6 status.  This is one scenario for hurricanes in a warmer world, a subject of fiendish complexity and
considerable scientific research, as experts try to tease out the effects of climate change from the influences of natural climate cycles. Some changes — such as the slowing of hurricanes’ forward motion and the worsening of storm surges from rising sea levels — are happening now. Other impacts, such as their increase in strength, may have already begun but are difficult to detect, considering all of the other climate forces at work.

LGBT-Affirming Church Takes Out Billboard: ‘God Takes Pride in You’

LGBT-Affirming Church Takes Out Billboard: ‘God Takes Pride in You’
A San Diego church took out a billboard that reads, “Radically Inclusive: God takes pride in you, so do we!”  Missiongathering Christian Church, a self-proclaimed “radically inclusive” Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), bought a billboard above a popular gay bar in Hillcrest, reports say.  The church says they purchased this billboard because it’s located along the route of the San Diego LGBT+ Pride Parade.
The church hopes that people participating in the July 14 parade, which church members will be participating in, will see their church’s message and feel welcomed.  “For far too long, Christians have been known for who we are against,” Brandon Robertson, a pastor at Missiongathering, tells Fox 5. “We’re afraid of difference. We only desire to make the world conform to our image of what is right and good.” Missiongathering believes that “God’s creativity [is] expressed in various races, sexual orientations, gender identities, socioeconomic statuses, faiths and backgrounds,”

The Trump ‘Peace Plan’ Is Coming
Jul 8, 2018 | 0  |     
The Trump ‘Peace Plan’ Is Coming
(By PNW) A new Middle East “peace plan” is gestating and, according to the Trump administration itself, nearly ready to hatch. It is easy to be cynical. Peace plans have been produced by various administrations and yet, there is no peace. On the other hand, the Trump administration–as it has on other issues–is laying the groundwork differently. The refusal of the Palestinian Authority to engage with the president’s envoys, interestingly, has not stopped the shuttle with Israel and Arab states (including a reported joint
meeting between Israeli, American and Arab intelligence chiefs), and decisively telling the Palestinians that they will not be paid for attending–and, in fact, have assets to lose by not participating.We don’t, of course, know the American endgame or its likelihood of success, but there are basically only two possibilities: The establishment of a Palestinian state with “security guarantees” for Israel; or
Recognition by the Arab states and Palestinians of Israel as a legitimate and permanent state in the region. If it is the former, it is doomed.

Earthquake swarm continues to rock Israel
Three more mild earthquakes shook up Israel’s Northern region on Sunday. The first was a minor earthquake measuring approximately 2.9 on the Richter scale and was reported in Israel’s north near the Sea of Galilee early Sunday morning. The second earthquake occurred later on Sunday morning and
measured 3.2 on the Richter scale and was reported in the same region, according to Israeli Media. On Sunday afternoon, residents reported a 3.9 magnitude earthquake felt in the area of Tiberas, in Israel’s north. Israel’s north has been shaken by a string of earthquakes in recent days, with experts fearing a “big one” may still yet be due.

6.0-magnitude earthquake strikes off Japan’s Chiba prefecture, Felt in Tokyo
A 6.0-magnitude earthquake hit Japan Saturday evening outside Tokyo, shaking buildings in the capital, but no tsunami warning was issued, the country’s meteorological agency said.  The epicenter of the 6.0 magnitude earthquake was in Chiba Prefecture near Tokyo, at a depth of 50 km. The underground
shocks lasted for about 10 seconds and were felt in all prefectures in the central and north-eastern parts of the country, including the Japanese capital. Local residents have been told not to panic and remain calm. Despite the fact that the tsunami warning was canceled a few minutes after the earthquake, residents of the country have been asked not to approach the shoreline.

Philippines’ Duterte vows to resign if anybody can prove God exists
The Philippine president, who recently sparked outrage for calling God stupid, has courted new controversy in his largely Roman Catholic country by saying he will resign if anybody can prove that God exists.  President Rodrigo Duterte, who has had a thorny relationship with the church, questioned anew in a speech late Friday some of the basic tenets of the Catholic faith, including the concept of original sin, which he said taints even innocent infants and can only be removed through baptism in a church for a fee.
Duterte, however, suggested that there must be a God or a supreme being that prevents billions of stars and celestial bodies from colliding in a frequency that could have long threatened the human race. Last week, he was slammed, including by some of his political allies, for calling God “stupid” in another speech, with one Catholic bishop calling him a “psychopath.” Duterte lamented in that speech that Adam and Eve’s sin in Christian theology resulted in all the faithful falling from divine grace.

Experts warn new trade wars could be damaging for the world economy
The first shots have been fired in a trade war between China and the United States that experts say could be damaging for the world economy.  The two superpowers on Friday imposed tit-for-tat tariffs on billions of dollars of cross-border trade. While US President Donald Trump has brushed off warnings that trade frictions with powerful partners like China could harm the US, Beijing has other weapons in
its arsenal beside tariffs to cause damage in a fight. Tom Cruise films, Starbucks coffee, the iPhone X and the Buick are all best-sellers in China and authorities could find all sorts of ways to make life difficult for them, says Louis Kuijs, Asia analyst at Oxford Economics. China “has less ammunition left in terms of imposing tariffs but history shows that there are various other measures it could take to inflict pain on US companies,” said Kuijs.

Is God Lifting His Favor Off America?

Is God Lifting His Favor Off America?
(By Ben Godwin) Happy 242nd Birthday America! You look good for your age. I love our great country and was raised in a patriotic home. God has allowed and aided America’s rise to unrivaled greatness in world history. Benjamin Franklin asked the Continental Congress, “If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?” Someone observed that of all the major civilizations in human history, they all collapsed when they reached the moral state that America is currently in. Thomas Jefferson aptly wrote, “I tremble for my country when I remember that God is just and that His justice cannot sleep forever.”
I am not a doom-and-gloom preacher, but I do believe that many of our recent calamities like national debt, prolonged wars, terrorist attacks, mass shootings, natural disasters, anarchy and social upheaval are indicators of God lifting His favor. Abraham Lincoln said, “It is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God … and to recognize the sublime truth announced in the Holy Scriptures and proved by all history, that those nations only are blest whose God is the Lord.” He was referring to Psalm 33:12a, which states, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.” What was true of Israel in Bible times is also true of America now—as long as we stay in covenant with God, we will we remain strong and free. Ronald Reagan warned, “If we ever forget that we are ‘One Nation Under God,’ then we will be a nation gone under.”

Southern California breaking all-time heat records

Southern California breaking all-time heat records
Many parts of Southern California hit new high-temperature marks Friday, with a few spots reaching the hottest readings ever recorded. Among the places that set all-time records were Van Nuys Airport (117 degrees), Burbank Airport (114), UCLA (111), Santa Ana (114) and Ramona (115), according to the National Weather Service. Riverside tied its all-time high temperature of 118. Downtown Los Angeles hit a new high for the day, at 108.
Long Beach Airport hit 108 and Woodland Hills, 118. The heat wave will continue this weekend, but forecasters said Friday marked the peak. The broiling temperatures were the result of a strong high-pressure system combined with offshore winds blowing from the desert to the ocean, said Todd Hall, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard. Like many Southern Californians, Hall does not have air conditioning at home and was not looking forward to leaving his nice, cool office.

Cosmic radiation from giant star system heading towards Earth
A star system containing two gigantic suns is blasting cosmic rays into space and NASA scientists have found that the radiation is making its way towards Earth on intergalactic winds. High-energy observations in the sprawling southern constellation of Carina had puzzled scientists for some time. But now a NASA orbital telescope has helped pin the energy source on Eta Carinae, a double-star system around 7,500 light years away from Earth.
It is already known that rays with energies greater than 1 billion electron volts are sprayed into our solar system. However, the erratic movement of the energy and sheer size of the great expanse previously made it difficult to locate some of the sources. Colliding stellar winds within Eta Carinae, which is surrounded by an hourglass dust nebula, have now been confirmed as a reason for the energy patterns in the region.

New Jersey Governor Signs Bill Allowing Birth, Death Certificates to Reflect ‘Gender Identity’ Instead of Birth Sex
The Democratic governor of New Jersey has signed two bills into law that would allow the birth and death certificates of those with gender dysphoria to reflect the person’s “gender identity” instead of their birth sex.  Gov. Phil Murphy signed S.B. 478 and S.B. 493 on Tuesday, calling the occasion an “important day for New Jersey as we continue to strive toward equality for all of our residents, regardless of sex or gender expression.”
“Allowing vital records to match gender identity is an important step forward that will allow transgender individuals to control the disclosure of their transgender status,” he said in a statement.  S.B. 478 instructs that the “State registrar shall issue an amended certificate of birth to a person born in this State who requests an amended certificate of birth which shows the gender and, if applicable, the name of the person as it has been changed.” It eliminates the requirement to present any documentation from the person’s physician that they have undergone a surgical procedure.

50,000 rescuers mobilized to Japan as record rains cause more than 37 deaths and over 50 missing
At least 37 people were killed and more than 50 are missing as record rains continue falling over parts of Japan. Nearly 50 000 members of the Self-Defense Forces, police and firefighting service are searching for trapped, wounded or dead people, Kyodo news service reported Saturday, July 7, 2018. The death toll is expected to rise before the rain eases up on Sunday.  Over 4.72 million people were at one point under
evacuation orders or advisories as heavy rains caused landslides and flooding, destroying homes and sweeping away vehicles. Rivers in a wide area, from southern to western Japan, are swollen or overflowing and bridges are washed away. More than 500 homes were damaged as of 07:00 JST, July 7, according to the government. Major manufacturers were also affected and their production and sales disrupted. Over 90 mm (3.54 inches) of rain per hour was recorded in the city of Susaki, Kochi Prefecture, and more than 70 mm (2.75 inches) in the same time span in Iwakuni, Yamaguchi Prefecture.

DAYS OF LOT: Only two thirds of Generation Z identify as ‘exclusively heterosexual’
Homosexuality is no longer the taboo it once was. But figures suggest that young people are even more open to experimentation than previously thought.  Only two-thirds of Generation Z identify as solely heterosexual, in stark contrast to previous generations, a study has found. Research by Ipsos Mori found that 66 percent of young people, aged between 16 and 22, are “exclusively heterosexual” – the lowest figure of any generation.
Among millennials, 71 percent say they are exclusively heterosexual, as do 85 percent of those in “Gen X”, and 88 percent of baby boomers.  The research group suggested that social media was playing a part, with young people more likely to be aware of different sexualities because of the availability of such information on the internet. Researchers said the statistic showed that the youngest generation was “being affected by more open and fluid attitudes”.

Scientists warn bananas could soon become extinct
Experts say a special breed found in Madagascar could hold the key to keeping them alive. But there are only five known trees in existence. Scientists are racing to develop new banana varieties strong enough to survive Panama disease, which is a major threat to banana crops around the world. Because bananas are clones, the disease is able to spread very quickly from one to another.
It is currently wreaking havoc with crops in Asia – but could wipe out the world’s supply if it spreads to America.  Richard Allen, senior conservation assessor at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, told the BBC: “It doesn’t have Panama disease in it, so perhaps it has genetic traits against the disease. “We don’t know until we actually do research on the banana itself, but we can’t do the research until it’s saved.”

DEVELOPING: Monster typhoon Maria threatens Asia…
Super Typhoon Maria rapidly intensified in the western Pacific Ocean northwest of Guam, and, while expected to weaken somewhat beforehand, poses a danger of a strong typhoon strike in Japan’s far southwesternmost islands, including Okinawa, eastern China, and possibly Taiwan next week. Maria is
now a Category 4 equivalent system, called a super typhoon locally, located roughly 300 miles northwest of Guam. According to the U.S. Joint Typhoon Warning Center, Maria rapidly intensified from a 70 mph tropical storm to a Category 5 equivalent super typhoon with 160 mph winds in the 24-hour period ending at 8 p.m. EDT Thursday.

America’s Broken Moral Compass Sending Nation in Wrong Direction
As if proof was necessary, a recent Gallup Poll showed that Americans are holding more permissive views than ever on a variety of cultural and societal issues.  According to Gallup, Americans continue to express an increasingly liberal outlook on what is morally acceptable, with views on several moral issues the most left-leaning they have been to date. The percentages of U.S. adults who believe birth control, divorce, sex

between unmarried people, gay or lesbian relations, having a baby outside of marriage, doctor-assisted suicide, pornography and polygamy are morally acceptable practices have tied record highs or set new ones this year. Religion and culture expert, author and national host Dr. Alex McFarland (AlexMcFarland.com) discussed these findings and what they mean for both Christians and citizens, on the new Stand in the Gap TV program from the American Pastors Network (APN), which considers transcending cultural issues, seemingly difficult to navigate, from a biblical worldview perspective.

Bethel Music Worship Leaders Declare ‘Third Great Awakening’ Is Coming to America
Bethel Music worship leaders say they believe a third great awaking is coming to America.  During their final tour night at the Beacon Theatre in New York City last week, Josh Baldwin, Bethany Wohrle, and Lindy Conant spoke openly about what they sense is spiritually coming to the United States. “I think God’s going to use healing in America to lead so many people to Jesus,” Conant, the newest member of
Bethel, told Fox News.  The popular contemporary Christian music group recently wrapped up their second annual “Heaven Come Conference“ in Dallas, Texas, which brought out nearly 6,000 people in what the band described as a “life-changing” event.  Bethel Music also performed in Boston, Massachusetts, where hundreds gave their lives to Jesus. “People were so hungry,” Baldwin added. “It does feel like people are re-upping their commitment to the Lord. It’s been powerful every night … we would stop [in worship] and they would lead.”

Deadly heatwave strikes California after leaving dozens dead in Canada
A killer heatwave which has left dozens dead in Canada has arrived in the western US.   High temperatures have left 33 dead in Quebec this month and the hot weather is now moving into the US. A heatwave has already hit the northeast US and has now arrived on the west coast, with California now suffering 100 degrees Fahrenheit temperatures.  This month 33 people have died in the Canadian
province of Quebec due to the heat, including 18 in the city of Montreal. Dr. David Kaiser of Montreal’s Regional Public Health Department said most of the victims were more than 50 years old, male and living alone.  None of the victims had air conditioning in their homes,  Dr .Kaiser added. The northeast US has also been hit by heat-related deaths. On Sunday a man running a race in New York died after his internal temperature reached 108 degrees Fahrenheit. Coroner Frank Whitelaw said: “When your brain becomes overheated like that, it can’t function anymore.”

6.4 Earthquake strikes volcanic Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia during Football World Cup
A strong earthquake measuring 6.4 has hit the Kamachatka Peninsula in Russia’s Far East. The tremor struck 58 miles east of Ozernovskiy at about 1.40am on Friday morning. The city is located in the far east of Russia, which lies on the Pacific coast. The Kamchatka region lies near a subduction zone, where the Pacific plate slides underneath the North American. Earthquakes 6.0 to 6.9 may cause a lot of damage in
very populated areas, but no damage has been reported after the quake so far. Despite thousands of football fans currently in Russia for the World Cup, the Kamchakta Peninsula is located a long way from any of the venues being used for the tournament. The Central Stadium of Yekaterinburg is the closest World Cup venue to where the quake has been felt but the distance amounts to 3,892.63 miles. The Peninsula is the furthest reaches of the Eurasian continent. READ MORE https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/984683/Russia-earthquake-Kamchatka-Peninsula-football-world-cup

Ohio interstate buckles due to extreme temperatures
An Ohio interstate buckled Wednesday afternoon, and transportation officials are blaming the heat. It happened on a stretch of Interstate 77 in Noble County, a rural area about 40 miles from the West Virginia border. Officials with the Ohio Department of Transportation blamed the highway’s deterioration on extreme heat.
They posted a photo of the cracked road. It happened as temperatures soared into the upper 90s, and feel-like temperatures were well into the 100s. Officials said that northbound lanes of the interstate were temporarily closed near Macksburg. The stretch of road has since been reopened.

Johns Hopkins hospital evacuated for possible TB contamination…
Two cancer research buildings at Johns Hopkins Hospital were evacuated Thursday due to possible tuberculosis contamination, according to the hospital. The Baltimore City Fire Department investigated the release of a small amount of frozen tuberculosis in a bridge between the two buildings in the 1500 block of Orleans Street, said Kim Hoppe, a spokeswoman for the hospital, in a statement. There were
employees in the area when the incident occurred, but hospital officials said they believe no one was exposed to the bacteria and they did not treat anyone after the sample was released. “We have determined there is no risk involved,” said Dr. Landon King, executive vice dean of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. King said the sample that leaked was “equivalent to a few drops.”

Three minor earthquakes strike Israel, Mega-Quake only a matter of time
A bigger earthquake than those felt by Israelis over the past couple of days is sure to come – and Israelis should be ready for power outages and if necessary to leave their homes. So warned Amotz Agnon, professor at the Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem on Thursday. In an interview conducted by the Israel Project, Agnon said that the “when, how bad and where” are not clear, but additional and more severe earthquakes are sure to come.
Israelis have felt three earthquakes over the past two days; additional ones were recorded by instruments of the Geophysical Institute of Israel. On Thursday an earthquake measuring 3.2 on the Richter scale was reported in the cities of Tiberias and Safed in northern Israel. On Wednesday night Haifa and Western Galilee region residents felt a quake measuring 4.5, and earlier Wednesday, residents of the same region felt a tremor placed at 4.1 on the Richter scale. No damage or injuries were reported.

Trade War intensifies! China retaliates in ‘biggest trade war in economic history.’
U.S. tariffs on $34 billion worth of Chinese goods kicked in on Friday, escalating a war of words between the world’s two largest economies into a full-blown trade conflict.  Washington’s 25 percent duties went into effect at midnight EDT, and China immediately implemented retaliatory tariffs on its $34 billion list of goods issued last month, including soybeans, pork and electric vehicles. Beijing called it the “biggest
trade war in economic history.” It’s unlikely to stop there. In fact, there will probably be “escalation upon escalation,” warned Geoff Raby, Australia’s former ambassador to China.  Ahead of the Friday implementation of American and Chinese tariffs, Raby told CNBC that “it looks like the first shots to the trade war are about to be fired.” China, for its part, was already calling the tariff threats between Beijing and Washington a “trade war” in June.

Tornado out of nowhere rips off roof of restaurant in Florida
Call it a Fourth of July miracle. A small tornado, with winds at 70 to 80 miles per hour, formed near Tavares, Florida, around 2:30 PM ET. The freaky storm caused damage to local business, including the Fish Camp on Lake Eustis. 80 people were celebrating Independence Day inside the U.S. Highway 441 eatery, according to the Orlando Sentinel, when the tornado hit. “I look up and there’s stuff flying from the patio across and I’m like ‘what the heck just happened?’ ”
said Robert Spittle, 41, a Pennsylvania native who was visiting the area. “I was there with my family,” Thomas Wert, an attorney from Orlando, said in an email to the Sentinel. “We left about a minute before the roof was torn off on our boat. I saw the funnel cloud over the restaurant as we pulled away. It was definitely a tornado.” Jim Jordan, the owner of the restaurant, said the tornado “sounded like a 9.0 earthquake,” per Fox 35. “We all ducked and ran out of the kitchen!” READ MORE https://hollywoodlife.com/2018/07/05/florida-tornado-tavares-restaurant-winds-storm-video/



Archaeologists unearth 8.6-foot-long sarcophagus buried in Egypt 2,000 years ago beside a massive stone head

Archaeologists unearth 8.6-foot-long sarcophagus buried in Egypt 2,000 years ago beside a massive stone head
Egyptian archaeologists have discovered what’s thought to be the largest granite sarcophagus ever found in Alexandria, measuring nearly nine feet long.  The massive stone casket was buried more than 16 feet beneath the surface alongside a huge alabaster head – likely belonging to the man who owned the tomb.
Experts say the ancient coffin has remained untouched since its burial thousands of years ago during the Ptolemaic period. Researchers working under the Supreme Council of Antiquities discovered the ancient tomb during an excavation in the Sidi Gaber district of Alexandria. The team was inspecting a resident’s land ahead of digs planned for the foundation of his building at Al-Karmili Street when they stumbled upon the remarkable Ptolemaic burial 5 meters deep. The Ptolemaic period lasted roughly 300 years, from 332-30 BCE, making this particular site more than 2,000 years old.

Record-breaking rainfall threatens much of Japan, 160,000 advised or ordered to evacuate
The Japan Meteorological Agency has advised or ordered more than 160,000 people to evacuate as seasonal rain front hanging over the country threatens with record-breaking rainfall through the weekend. JMA cautioned of the rising likelihood of flooding, landslides, lightning and tornadoes. Stormy weather on July 5 has already left at least one person dead and several injured.  A low-pressure system
and an active rain front brought heavy rain to wide areas from western to eastern Japan on July 5 even after Typhoon “Prapiroon” was downgraded to an extra-tropical cyclone, the JMA said Thursday, July 5, 2018. In Inagawa, Hyogo Prefecture, three workers were swept away in a drain at a construction site for an industrial area at around 9:30 local time Thursday. All of them were rescued but one of them was later pronounced dead, town officials said, as reported by The Mainichi.

Woman Faces 20 Years in Prison for Embezzling Over $800K From Her Church
A 63-year-old woman has been found guilty of embezzling more than $818,000 from a Catholic church in Wisconsin.  Deborah Marcellus, who served as the director of development of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Rice Lake, this week pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Madison to wire fraud and filing a false income tax return, according to the Sawyer County Record.
Marcellus generated more than 200 fraudulent checks from church bank accounts for $818,604 from 2011 until April 2017, according to an investigation done by the IRS and the Rice Lake Police Department. St. Joseph’s Church and the Diocese of Superior cooperated in the probe. U.S. District Judge James Peterson has scheduled sentencing for Oct. 2, and she faces up to 20 years in federal prison.

Facebook flagged Declaration of Independence quotes as “hate speech”

Facebook flagged Declaration of Independence quotes as “hate speech”
It seems all content is not created equal. A Facebook algorithm categorized parts of the Declaration of Independence as hate speech and took down excerpts of it ahead of the Fourth of July.  An editor for the Liberty County Vindicator, a community newspaper in Texas, said Facebook took action after the paper started posting the text of the historic document. The Vindicator posted the Declaration of Independence in 12 parts on its Facebook page leading up the nation’s birthday. Facebook sent a notice that one of those parts “goes against our standards on hate speech.”
According to the Vindicator, Facebook flagged a passage that included the phrase “merciless Indian savages” at the end of a long rebuke of King George III. After the Declaration’s famous opening lines about all men being created equal and having an inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, it goes on to list 27 specific grievances against the king’s rule. The last of those reads: “He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.”

Series of quakes in Israel stir remembrance of 80-Year-Old prophecy prelude to Gog and Magog War
Northern Israel was shaken by four small earthquakes in less than 24 hours on Wednesday and though it is impossible to absolutely predict seismic activity, seismologists warn that the region is due for a major shake-up.  The recent earthquakes hint at deeper meanings. One mystic predicted 80 years ago that major earthquakes in Israel would precede the War of Gog and Magog, making the earth-shattering changes necessary to bring the Messiah. And a scientist, seeking to find a historical pattern, discovered a compelling link between earthquakes and prophecy.
The first earthquake hit at around 4:50 a.m., followed by another at around 10:45 p.m..Two more followed at around midnight and 1:30 a.m., all registering aout 4.2 on the Richter Scale with their epicenter approximately 5.5 miles north of Tiberias. Though relatively gentle, the tremors were felt in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.  Though there were neither reports of injury or damage, earthquakes are cause for concern in Israel which is part of the geologically active Syrian-African Rift, extending from Lebanon to Mozambique.

Eerie ‘eye of God’ appears in the sky in the middle of nowhere
Footage has emerged that appears to show what some are dubbing the “eye of God.”  The clip was filmed in China’s Inner Mongolia and shows a menacing-looking cloud formation in the shape of a glaring eyeball.  The video is currently going viral on Chinese social media after a resident filmed it in the Hulunbuir Region. No other details appear to be available on the extraordinary clip, which was shot on

June 25. But it does seem like the sky is clear, apart from a single cloud that weirdly hovers over the sun. It comes after incredible footage claims to show God walking across the sky between clouds in a patch of brilliant white light. The astonishing clip begins by showing a storm gathering in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, as huge gray clouds loom. The woman who posted it said: “Hey, we’ve got a storm over here.

America not prepared for catastrophic asteroid impact
Millions of people would die if a rogue asteroid barrelling towards the planet struck as the USA is not ready to deal with such an impending threat, a shocking NASA report revealed.  The National Near-Earth Object Preparedness Strategy and Action Plan report warned an asteroid just 40metres to 60m-wide would be enough to cause unimaginable death and destruction.  Dire asteroid impact estimate maps
show what would happen if such an asteroid struck in the heart of New York.  The resulting blast would completely level the neighborhoods of Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, New Rochdale, Jersey city and extend out into Staten Island, Paterson, Newark and White Plains. Current NASA estimates suggest there are more than 300,000 objects larger than 40m orbiting the sun that could pose an impact hazard.

Deadly hailstorm strikes Valencia, Italy producing damage to 127,200 acres of crops
An intense storm that hit Spain’s Valencia on Sunday, June 30, 2018, caused ‘extremely serious damage’ to crops in the region, with up to 11,000 ha (27,200 acres) of crops affected. The storm caused ‘extremely serious damage’ in the La Ribera area of Valencia and many farmers lost their entire crop, Valencia   farming association, AVA-ASAJA said.  According to the first estimate made by the association, the agricultural area affected by the storm exceeds 11 000 hectares (27,200 acres),
with economic losses of up to €47 million (US$58 million).  Persimmons are the worst affected. Some 3 500 ha (8,650 acres) were affected, many of which had 100% losses, AVA-ASAJA said. The organization estimated this would translate into a 15% drop in production on the next crop, which, added to the 10% reduction the industry was already expecting due to frosts in February and March, will lead to Valencia’s persimmon production dropping by a quarter.

‘Extra’ Host Mario Lopez Reveals ‘Unfortunate’ Truth for Christians in Hollywood
It’s no secret Christianity is a tough sell in Beverly Hills, and in a recent interview, popular E! News host Mario Lopez described that reality as “unfortunate.”  “[Faith] is alive in me. It’s not really as prevalent [in Hollywood] as I think it should be,” Lopez told podcast host Lucas Miles in early June. “If you don’t think necessarily the way the left does entirely — they don’t embrace diverse thought, so it’s
unfortunate.” The beloved child actor went on to say he knows some people to whom faith holds an “important” place, adding, “It’s just not as embraced as you think it would be.”But despite the unwillingness in Hollywood to rally around Christianity, Lopez noted the irony of how successful faith-based movies have become in recent years. He even predicted more Christian movies coming in the future.

How to Know Heaven Is for Real
Jul 5, 2018 | 0  |     

How to Know Heaven Is for Real
(By Jentezen Franklin) Life can be difficult. At any given time, there are precious people who are strained and stretched to their limit emotionally. There are people struggling with physical pain or pressured by financial difficulties. There are people challenged by disharmony and chaos in their families and their marriages. It’s part of life on earth.  Satan tries to keep us focused on our problems so we forget about our promises. He wants us to live shallow, earth-bound lives. Our enemy wants us to focus on the temporary and lose sight of the eternal, because we become dangerous to his plans when we have eternity in our sight.
He doesn’t want us to remember we are headed for heaven. The apostle John wrote these words while marooned on the Isle of Patmos: “After this I looked. And there was an open door in heaven. The first voice I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, ‘Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.’ Immediately I was in the Spirit. And there was a throne set in heaven with One sitting on the throne!” (Rev. 4:1-2).

Rare 3.0 earthquake strikes England, 2nd Quake in weeks
An earthquake has hit England with residents across Surrey and Sussex feeling the 3.0 magnitude tremor. The epicenter has been placed in Cranleigh, a small village a few miles west of Crawley.  The tremor hit the Crawley area at 11.53am, with the United States Geoglogical Survey placing the epicentre at Cranleigh, Surrey. Terrified residents said they heard what sounded like thunder as they felt the ground shaking and furniture moving.  Aleesha Farnham, of Bewbush, just outside Crawley, told the Croydon Advertiser how she was screaming in fear as the earthquake struck. She said: “I’m in a bit of a state of shock. I was getting my son down for his nap. Then for about five maybe six seconds I felt this awful noise. The house was shaking. “Then the only way I can describe it was I thought it was a rumble of thunder. But shortly after the rumble everything started shaking. READ MORE

Walmart removes ‘Impeach’ Trump shirts after outrage

Walmart removes ‘Impeach’ Trump shirts after outrage
Walmart on Tuesday removed shirts and other gear from its online marketplace bearing the phrase “Impeach 45” after supporters of US President Donald Trump lambasted the retail giant on social media. Walmart nixed the items after images of jerseys and baby gear with the anti-Trump slogan went viral on social media. At midday, the phrase #BoycottWalmart was trending on Twitter.

“These items were sold by third-party sellers on our open marketplace, and were not offered directly by Walmart,” a company spokesman said. “We’re removing these types of items pending review of our marketplace policies.” The controversy highlights a challenge of doing business in a country increasingly polarized by politics, where supporters and critics of Trump have become more vocal in pressuring companies with boycott threats when they appear to be taking sides.

Deadly wildfires continue to spread in the West, Hundreds of homes destroyed
A growing swath of wildfires in western United States threatens to damper holiday plans as park rangers and fire officials across the region have greatly curtailed accessibility to National Parks and campgrounds ahead of the Independence Day holiday.  In the Colorado mountains, a wildfire destroyed more than 100 homes, while blazes across the parched U.S. West kept hundreds of other homes under evacuation
orders. Late Monday, a fire near Fort Garland, about 205 miles southwest of Denver, had destroyed 104 homes in a mountain housing development.  The so-called Spring Creek fire is one of six large wildfires burning in Colorado. While investigators believe it was started by a spark from a fire pit, other fires were started by lightning.

Deadly Heatwave grips eastern Canada, leaving 11 dead in Montreal, 15 across Quebec
A sweltering heat wave is affecting much of central and eastern Canada. At least 15 people have died in Quebec over the past few days, with 11 in the city of Montreal, prompting city officials to unveil their emergency response plan to avoid a spike in the number of deaths. The heat wave started on Friday, June 29 with temperatures reaching more than 45 °C (113 °F) this past weekend along with high humidity. The warm and humid airmass over Southern Quebec will persist through Thursday, July 3.
Today, humidex values will reach near 40 °C (104 °F). However, conditions will grow even more uncomfortable on Thursday with humidex values reaching 43 °C (109.4 °F). Montreal residents made hundreds of calls to 811 and ambulances on Monday and Tuesday, July 2 and 3, 2018, forcing officials to raise the city response level from ‘alert’ to an ‘intervention.’ The city’s public health director, Dr. Mylène Drouin, said officials want to avoid repeating what happened in 2010 when extreme heat caused 106 deaths in the Montreal area.

Andy Stanley on Why He Quit Saying ‘The Bible Says’
North Point Community Church Senior Pastor Andy Stanley recently explained to popular radio host and Messianic Jewish author Michael Brown why he’s quit using the term “the Bible says.”  In an episode of Brown’s podcast “Line of Fire” that aired Monday afternoon, Stanley explained why, although he considers the Good Book inerrant, the term “the Bible says” doesn’t work with those he’s trying to evangelize.
“Once upon a time that was very effective in our country. Those days are long gone. But unfortunately, church leaders still want to leverage ‘the Bible says,’ which is great for people who take the Bible seriously,” said Stanley. “It’s not my audience. … I’m trying to recapture the imagination of people, adults and students who’ve left because of what else is in the Bible or because everyone is one click away from information or misinformation about the Bible.” READ MORE https://www.christianpost.com/news/andy-stanley-why-he-quit-saying-the-bible-says-while-still-loving-the-bible-225628/

US Historian warns that US has Passed ‘Critical Landmark’ on Way to Becoming as Secularized as Europe
A leading U.S. historian and religion analyst has warned that America’s record-low fertility rates could mean that the United States is following in the footsteps of Europe when it comes to people leaving organized religion and becoming secularized.  Philip Jenkins, a professor of history at Baylor University, and Co-Director for Baylor’s Program on Historical Studies of Religion in the Institute for Studies of Religion warned in a blog post last week that the U.S. is now “looking at the opening stages of a large-
scale process of secularization.” “The United States just passed a critical statistical landmark, one that I think – I fear – has immense implications for the nation’s religious life,” he said. He suggested that fertility rates can be an “effective gauge of trends towards secularization,” given the decline in religion in the West, while high fertility societies, such as most of Africa, tend to be “fervent and devout.”

Patriotic song about US Flag censored by Facebook
Facebook was slammed by the Wes Cook band Tuesday after it prevented the country group from using the social network’s paid tools to promote its song “I Stand for the Flag.” The Nashville-based group released a video for “I Stand for the Flag” on Facebook Monday morning. They planned to promote the video using the paid promotion tools that the social network provides. The request was initially approved and then rejected by Facebook, which cited the video’s “political content,” according to the band.
Late Tuesday, Facebook told Fox News that the decision has been overturned. “We recently announced anyone running ads about political or other major national issues must include a ‘paid for’ label,” explained a Facebook spokesperson. “After looking again, we determined that this ad doesn’t need that label. While this is a new policy, and while we won’t ever be perfect, we think knowing who is behind an ad is important, and we’ll continue to work on improving as we roll it out.”

King of Turkey to be sworn in Monday with new powers
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will on Monday be sworn in for a second mandate as Turkey’s head of state after his election triumph last month, assuming sweeping powers granted under a new constitution, a presidential source said.  Erdogan, who has dominated Turkey first as premier from 2003 then president from 2014, scored an outright victory in the first round of the June 24 elections with 52.6
percent of the vote. Those elections were particularly crucial as it is only after the polls that the new presidential system, which was agreed in a 2017 referendum and opponents fear will lead to one man rule, comes into force. Erdogan will be sworn at the parliament, a presidential source, who asked not to be named, told AFP. State media reports said the oath ceremony would be at 1300 GMT.

Is God Male or Gender-Neutral? Episcopal Church Begins Debate

Is God Male or Gender-Neutral? Episcopal Church Begins Debate
Since before the days of the early church, God has always been addressed in prayers as a male, including terms like Father, King, and Lord.  In the New Testament, Jesus taught his disciples to pray to God using a male term. In Luke 11:1-4, one of the disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray. “And He said to them, When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name.'” (NASV) Now the Episcopal Church is debating about overhauling its Book of Common Prayer, which is used in Episcopal congregations
worldwide.  The debate centers on making sure that prayers in the book are clear that God is not male, but doesn’t have a gender, The Washington Post reports. “As long as ‘men’ and ‘God’ are in the same category, our work toward equity will not just be incomplete. I honestly think it won’t matter in some ways,” the Rev. Wil Gafney, a professor of the Hebrew Bible at Brite Divinity School in Texas told the paper.

Transgender woman will be the first to compete in Miss Universe pageant
A Spanish model is set to become the first transgender woman to compete in the Miss Universe pageant. Angela Ponce was crowned in the countrywide Miss Universe Spain 2018 over the weekend, becoming the first transgender woman to win the title. The 26-year-old beat 22 fellow contestants to claim the top spot in the Spanish city of Tarragona, Pink News reported. Her win grants Ponce a place to compete in
the worldwide Miss Universe contest set to be held in Philippines in December 2018. Transgender contestants were first allowed to compete in Miss Universe six years ago. The change was enacted after trans contestant Jenna Talackova was disqualified from Miss Universe Canada when organizers discovered she had transitioned from male to female.

The dangers of seeking untempered sexual pleasure

The dangers of seeking untempered sexual pleasure
(By Jay Younts) As the reality of God has dimmed in the life-flow of modern culture, an exchange of truth for an illusion has occurred. The illusion is that humans have a right to self-pleasure, and especially sex. After all, we are entitled to the pursuit of happiness. In this exchange, God and the Bible are portrayed as opponents to the quest for pleasure. We have been told that the pursuit of pleasure with our bodies is the route to happiness. In his book, “The Hacking of the American Mind,” Professor Robert Lustig, disagrees:
Thus, the more pleasure you seek, the more unhappy you get and the more likelihood you will slide into addiction or depression. Our ability to perceive happiness has been sabotaged by our modern incessant quest for pleasure, which our consumer culture has made all too easy to satisfy. Those who abdicate happiness for pleasure will end up with neither.

Here’s How the Supreme Court Can Overturn Roe v Wade

Here’s How the Supreme Court Can Overturn Roe v Wade
Evangelicals are hopeful that with the retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy, President Donald Trump’s second Supreme Court nominee is not only pro-life but will fight to overturn Roe v. Wade. A conservative justice would give the high court a 5-4 majority in favor of backtracking on abortion rights.
Conservative lawyers don’t expect justices would go for a sudden and complete reversal of Roe v. Wade, but that they would first revisit other court decisions like Planned Parenthood v. Casey or Whole Women’s Health v. Hellerstedt. In Hellerstedt, the case focused on intrusive abortion clinic regulations in Texas, and the court ruled 5-3 that the Lone Star State can’t enact restrictions on the delivery of abortion services.

A church in Indianapolis is making a bold statement on immigration with a front lawn display. The Christ Church Cathedral placed statues of Jesus, Mary and Joseph inside a cage on the front lawn of its downtown property.
The church’s dean tells WRTV the display is meant to bring awareness while criticizing the Trump administration’s zero tolerance immigration policy. He says the three were once homeless and escaped danger to seek asylum. The display is part of its “Every Family is Holy” campaign. READ MORE

A Sign of the End Times? Another Blood Moon Appears in July
According to astronomers, there will be two bodies in the heavens at the end of July which will both appear as red — the planet Mars and Earth’s moon.  On July 27, Mars will appear brighter in the night sky and it will appear brighter than it was in 2003, the website Space.com reports. Mars will be 35.98 million miles from the earth and will be 10 times brighter than usual On the very same day, Earth’s moon will also appear red, but only for a couple of hours.  According to astronomers, it will be the longest total
lunar eclipse of the century lasting 1 hour and 43 minutes. The eclipse will best be seen in Africa, the Middle East, southern Asia and the Indian Ocean.  Space.com reports the moon will remain in the earth’s shadow for nearly 4 hours total. Lunar eclipses occur when the moon passes into the Earth’s shadow, directly opposite of the sun.  Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are safe to view. You don’t need special lenses or a box — just your own eyes. READ MORE  http://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/cwn/2018/july/a-sign-of-the-end-times-another-blood-moon-appears-in-july

Over 6,000 Nigerian Christians Slaughtered, Media Silent
Church leaders in Nigeria have said that Christians are experiencing “pure genocide” as 6,000 people, mostly women and children, have been murdered by Fulani radicals since January. “What is happening in Plateau state and other select states in Nigeria is pure genocide and must be stopped immediately,” said the Christian Association of Nigeria and church denominational heads in Plateau State in a press release last week.
The church leaders said that “over 6,000 persons, mostly children, women and the aged have been maimed and killed in night raids by armed Fulani herdsmen,” which is prompting their cry to the government of Nigeria “to stop this senseless and blood shedding in the land and avoid a state of complete anarchy where the people are forced to defend themselves.”

Viral Video Surfaces Featuring 10-Year-Old ‘Desmond the Drag Kid’
A viral video of a 10-year-old boy who identifies as a “LGBTQ activist and advocate” and a “drag kid” is raising concern as some state that children being taught about drag and homosexuality is inappropriate and a reflection of ungodly parenting.  “I was born in Pride Month,” the child, who identifies as “Desmond Is Amazing,” stated in the video shared by The Huffington Post on Friday. “Gay pride means self-expression to me. …
I discovered that I wanted to do drag when I watched the first episode of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ when I was two.”  Desmond, donning a pink dress and hat, was called up on stage by RuPaul during DragCon 2017, characterizing him as a “gorgeous little queen” and having the boy “sashay” for the cheering onlookers. He has also appeared at homosexual pride events and has his own YouTube channel with over 2,000 followers.

Tennessee Tent Revival in Its 3rd Month as More and More People Come to Christ
A spiritual revival continues to blaze in Northeastern Tennessee, entering its 12th week Monday with more than 200 people accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, according to the evangelist leading the services.  It’s called the #GreenevilleAwakening, and it’s being held under a big tent near Greeneville, Tennessee.  “We’ve taken the Word of God and showed them how to be saved, and people from all walks of life, all social statuses,” evangelist D.R. Harrison told CBN News. “It’s just been
amazing to see the power of God move in these last days.” Harrison said he originally was scheduled to preach a one-week revival beginning April 15 at the Greystone Freewill Baptist Church. He said in week three, the crowds increased to standing room only. Harrison said he and the pastor began to pray because they were running out of room at the church, and God provided a large tent through a North Carolina man.

Francis Chan Calls Out ‘Embarrassing’ American Christians Who’ve Lost Their Passion for the Gospel
World-renowned evangelist Francis Chan called out the “embarrassing” American Church for being more concerned with speakers, music, and convenient service times than the actual gospel. “I don’t want to be critical but the Christian church in America has just gotten goofy,” he said during his sermon. Chan talked about a recent trip to Israel and how he saw so many people of different faiths earnestly worshipping in Jerusalem.
“You’ve got crowds of people at the Wailing Wall praying because of what they believe. You’ve got Muslims, thousands on that Temple Mount praying. You’ve got people of all sorts of different religions that just go after it for what they believe. And then you have Christianity in America where people show up depending on the speaker, depending on the band, and show up for maybe an hour a week if it’s good enough for them,” Chan shared. “Have you tried to look at how the church looks from an outsider’s perspective?

6 Ways Angels Work in Our Lives

6 Ways Angels Work in Our Lives
(By Ron Cantor) When the book of Hebrews speaks of angels, it is to make clear to the early congregation (which struggled with error and heresies because the New Covenant was still being written) that Yeshua is way beyond the angels. It would appear that some of these Jewish believers saw Yeshua as the Messiah, but could not see Him as divine; He was like an angel in their thinking. The writer seeks to correct this. The writer shows Yeshua’s superiority to these awesome, yet created beings:
Yeshua is the Son of the Father (Heb. 1:5).
The angels worship Yeshua (Heb. 1:6). Revelation speaks of 10,000 times 10,000 around His throne (Rev. 5:11)
He is God with an everlasting throne. (Heb. 1:8)
However, angels do play a powerful role in the lives of men. In fact, one of their primary roles is to minister to us who serve the Lord. Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation? (Heb. 1:14).

Heroic Nigerian Muslim Leader Shelters Hundreds of Christians from Armed Islamic Militants
He was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to save his fellow countrymen. When one local Muslim imam spotted terrified families rushing into his village in a central region of Nigeria, he made a quick decision to shelter them from harm.  This was a Christian community under fierce attack from around 300 Islamic militants, and if the imam was to turn the other way, they would all certainly be massacred. But this leader had a lot more courage than that.Despite risking his own life and the
retribution of the attackers, the anonymous imam set about getting the group to safety. “I first took the women to my personal house to hide them. Then I took the men to the mosque,” he told BBC Pidgin.  Villagers described the panicked scene as militants stormed their community, opening fire and setting fire to several houses. “First they attacked a village before us so we ran to the security post,” one victim of the attack told the BBC. “But then they started firing towards the security post so we all ran away – even the security personnel.”

What We Must Do to Reverse the Tsunami of Mass Perversion

What We Must Do to Reverse the Tsunami of Mass Perversion
(By Shane Idleman) A paraphrase that is often attributed to Alexis De Tocqueville—a Frenchman who authored Democracy in America in the early 1800s, helps to open this letter: “I looked throughout America to find where her greatness originated. I looked for it in her harbors and on her shorelines, in her fertile fields and boundless prairies, and in her gold mines and vast world commerce, but it was not there.”  “It was not until I went to the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her success. America is great because she is good, and if America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”
Over the last few decades, Americans have seen the destruction of the institution of marriage between a man and a woman, the removal of God’s Word in several areas, and the blatant murdering of millions of babies. This is an indictment against America and the pulpit is partially responsible—our silence speaks volumes. 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.

Abnormal earthquake swarm near Mayotte continues
An Abnormal earthquake swarm near the volcanic island of Mayotte in the Comoros Basin (Mozambique Channel) continues for nearly two months, creating anxiety and stress among locals.  The quakes are all occurring in the same spot, about 50 km (31 miles) to the east of the island. The largest so far was M5.8 on May 15. This quake was also the largest ever recorded in the archipelago. “The seismic activity
remains abnormal and persists,” scientists working for the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM), the France-based geological agency serving the territory, said July 2.  There have been no serious injury or fatality but locals have reported minor damage to buildings, including a school in Dembeni. In addition, at least 10 families have been evacuated from damaged homes and temporarily relocated, according to Africa Times.

Three major rivers above danger mark, 17 killed in floods and landslides across Nepal
At least 17 people have been killed and three are still missing after heavy monsoon rains triggered floods and landslides across Nepal over the past two days, authorities said Tuesday, July 3, 2018. Hundreds of people were displaced after rain-swollen rivers started eroding embankments and inundating several settlements in Terai region. Landslides hit several mountainous areas while hundreds of homes and farmlands ended up under floodwaters.
The heaviest casualties occurred in the country’s mid-western and eastern regions, said Banshiraj Acharya, the ministry’s undersecretary. At least three people died in Banke, Baijanath rural municipality on July 2 in flood-related incidents the police said happened due to negligence. Three people died in Rolpa, Runtigadi rural municipality-5 when a boundary wall just above their house collapsed and hit the kitchen.

China creates ‘laser gun’ for police use
A Chinese firm has developed a laser gun designed for police use that can set fire to protesters’ hair or banners from a range of almost one kilometer.  The general manager of the ZKZM fiber laser company, who asked to remain anonymous, said the weapon would “immediately” produce a “strong pain response” in the target but stressed it was designed to be “non-lethal”.  “The weapon is designed to do
things such as setting fire to illegal banners at a protest or setting fire to the hair or clothing of a protester,” he told AFP. “It is not designed explicitly for killing like a gun that uses bullets and cannot cause the ‘instant carbonization’ of human skin and tissues,” he added. The 15-mm caliber weapon weighs three kilograms (6.6 pounds), has a range of 800 meters (2,600 feet) and can pass through glass and other transparent obstacles.

UPDATE: Submarine has been launched to search for the source of mysterious sonar sound off the US coast.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency (NOAA) sent its submersible, Deep Discoverer, to the depths to investigate the anomaly.  It was first heard as researchers were leading a mapping campaign off the south-east coast this month.  Sonar works by shooting waves of sound outwards and reading the waves that come back after they bounce off objects.
Thinking the bizarre noise could potentially be an undiscovered shipwreck, the team sent the small unmanned sub to search. But instead of finding hordes of sunken gold coins abroad an ancient ship, they found a massive rock formation that was teaming with various species of marine life. In April, the NOAA sent submersibles down to examine a number of shipwrecks off the Gulf of Mexico.

Calif. Sen. to Vote on Banning ‘Conversion Therapy,’ and Gender Confusion Counseling for Foster Kids
The California state Senate will vote this week on legislative proposals barring counseling services for individuals with unwanted same-sex attractions and requiring foster children with gender dysphoria to only receive treatment affirming their gender confusion. The two separate bills, AB 2943 and AB 2119, were approved earlier this year by the state’s lower chamber, the state Assembly. The text of AB 2943

outlaws “any practices that seek to change an individual’s sexual orientation” which include “efforts to change behaviors or gender expressions, or to eliminate or reduce sexual or romantic attractions or feelings toward individuals of the same sex” and bans advertising or “offering for sale” any such counseling services they consider fraudulent. What are referred to as “change efforts,” do not have to involve a claim to change same-sex attractions but just a change of same-sex or transgender behaviors.

PROPHECY WATCH: Prince William says he is dedicated to bring about “Mideast peace”
According to a report in the Sunday Mirror, Prince William has returned to the UK following his trip to Israel and the Palestinian territories determined to bring peace.  Despite the policy of the British royal family to refrain from political or diplomatic intervention, the Duke of Cambridge was reportedly deeply moved by his visit to the region. “This is the start of something new,” Prince William said, according to a
palace aide who spoke with the Sunday Mirror. “I will forever honor my commitments to the people I have met.” According to the report, he is hoping to dedicate himself to the cause of peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Last week, the duke became the first ever member of the British royal family to pay an official visit to Israel. He met with President Reuven Rivlin, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.

Al Gore warns of ‘ominous’ record-breaking heat…
Former Vice President Al Gore on Saturday issued a warning about Earth’s “ominous” record-breaking heat.  “Another ominous record has been set,” Gore tweeted, citing a Washington Post article. “The city of Quriyat, Oman, hit an overnight LOW of 108.7 degrees on Tuesday – likely the highest minimum daily temp recorded on Earth.
For those suffering from the heat in the U.S. this weekend, be safe and stay cool!” Gore’s remarks came in response to a report from the Post that said the world likely reached it’s highest low temperature on record this week. On Tuesday, temperatures in Quriyat, Oman, never dropped below 108.7 degrees over a 24-hour period. The world’s previous hottest minimum temperature was 107.4 degrees, which was set in Oman on June 27, 2011.

Russia, China And The US Are Feverishly Upgrading Their Nuclear Arsenals

Russia, China And The US Are Feverishly Upgrading Their Nuclear Arsenals
(By Michael Snyder) While most of the world is focused on the World Cup and other trivial pursuits, the three global superpowers are busy jockeying for nuclear superiority.  Historians will debate the extent to which the first Cold War ever really ended, but everyone pretty much agrees that a new Cold War has now begun.  Russia, China and the United States are all racing to develop the next generation of nuclear weapons and delivery systems, and at this moment it is unclear who will ultimately come out on top in this arms race.
In Russia, nearly the entire nation is united behind the push to modernize the Russian strategic nuclear arsenal, but the United States is a deeply divided society today, and most of the population believes other priorities are far more important than developing new weapons.  Of course the United States started out with an edge in this new arms race, but now Russia and China have been working extremely hard to eliminate that edge, and to a large degree they have succeeded. When World War 3 is fought someday, submarines capable of delivering nuclear weapons will be one of the key factors, and all three global superpowers are rushing to upgrade their fleets.

Investors are yanking money out of global stocks at levels not seen since the 2008 financial crisis

Investors are yanking money out of global stocks at levels not seen since the 2008 financial crisis
Investor money is hemorrhaging out of global stock funds at a pace not seen since just after the financial crisis exploded.  Global equity funds have seen outflows of $12.4 billion in June, a level not seen since October 2008, according to market research firm TrimTabs. Lehman Brothers collapsed in September of that year, triggering the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression and helping fuel a bear market that would see major indexes lose more than 60 percent of their value.
The most recent exodus, which includes exchange-traded and mutual funds, comes amid worries that the much-touted synchronized global expansion is running out of gas, as well as some unwinding of what had been a hugely successful trade in emerging market stocks. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF, which tracks the group, surged more than 18 percent in a five-month span from July 2017 to January 2018, but has given back a big chunk of those gains in 2018 and is down about 10.3 percent year to date.

Do You Really Know What Your Kid’s Doing on That Smartphone?
Ayrial Miller is clearly annoyed. Her mother is sitting with her on the couch in their Chicago apartment, scrolling through the teen’s contacts on social media.  “Who’s this?” asks Jennea Bivens, aka Mom. It’s a friend of a friend, Ayrial says, and they haven’t talked in a while.  “Delete it,” her mom says. The 13-year-old’s eyes narrow to a surly squint. “I hate this! I hate this! I hate this!” she shouts. Yes, Bivens is one of
“those moms,” she says. The type who walks into her daughter’s bedroom without knocking; the kind who tightly monitors her daughter’s phone. She makes no apology. Nor should she, says a retired cybercrimes detective who spoke to her and other parents in early June at Nathan Hale Elementary School in Chicago. “There is no such thing as privacy for children,” Rich Wistocki told them.

Claim circulates that Jesus used cannabis oil to perform ‘miracles’
A preposterous and perhaps blasphemous claim has circulated and is now growing among some circles, And the acceptance of this theory could help promote the controversial drug’s use in treating a range of illnesses.  Cannabis historian, author and journalist David Bienenstock is one who believes cannabis oil even explains the “miracles” attributed to Jesus. Speaking exclusively to Daily Star Online, he said: “Historical records show that cannabis was widely available at the time – they would’ve known how to grow it and exploit its medicinal properties.
“There is nothing different in the efficacious cannabis oil used today that wouldn’t have been available to people in Jesus’ time – it’s simply a matter of concentrating the cannabis into the oil and absorbing it through the skin.” Scholars even point to a cannabis oil recipe in Exodus 30: 22-25: “Take also for yourself the finest of spices: of flowing myrrh five hundred shekels, and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, two hundred and fifty, and of fragrant cane two hundred and fifty … it shall be a holy anointing oil.”

Pentagon test-drops upgraded nuke from B-2 stealth bomber over Nevada
The US Air Force has tested the B61-12 nuclear bomb by dropping a dud from a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber over Nevada, as part of an ambitious project to extend the service life of the bomb, introduced in 1968, by another 20 years.  “The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) and the US Air Force completed two non-nuclear system qualification flight tests of the
B61-12 gravity bomb on June 9 at Tonopah Test Range in Nevada,” the Department of Energy announced last week. “These tests are the first such end-to-end qualification tests on a B-2A Spirit Bomber for the B61-12.” The experiments included running trials on “NNSA designed bomb assembly and US Air Force acquired tail-kit,” as part of the effort to evaluate the “aircraft’s capability to deliver the weapon and the weapon’s non-nuclear function.”

3 Hebrew Words That Show Us What It Means to Be a Christian
Jul 2, 2018 | 0  |     

3 Hebrew Words That Show Us What It Means to Be a Christian
(By Jonathan Cahn) Yasha, aliyah and kavode. These three Hebrew words play a huge role in understanding not only the Bible, but also the kind of holiness God calls us to. In his New York Times best-selling book The Book of Mysteries, Jonathan Cahn takes you back to the basics and shows how these Hebrew words shed light on what it means to be a Christian.
Yasha – “The Lord is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise Him; my father’s God, and I will exalt Him” (Ex. 15:2).  The word yasha is, as Cahn writes, “the answer to everything.” Yasha means to rescue, to defend, to preserve, to save, to attain victory, and to heal.  Whether we realize it or not, we spend our lives seeking yasha. We crave security and freedom. We seek to have our needs met.  The good news is, God meets our needs. From yasha comes the Hebrew word yeshua which means salvation. It is written in the Hebrew Scriptures: “God has become my yeshua.” He has become our salvation. Our Savior. “In other words, God would become our help, our defense, our preserving, our freedom, our victory, our salvation. God would become the answer to our greatest and deepest needs,” Cahn writes.

Mysterious ’underwater pyramid’ spotted off coast of Mexico on Google Maps
A massive underwater pyramid could be evidence the lost city of Atlantis existed near Mexico, according to conspiracy theorists.  So-called truth seekers have long searched for the mythical city, which was first written about by ancient Greek philosopher Plato. Some claim it was a real place and was once the ruling
power of the world before a natural disaster sank the entire island into the sea. Conspiracy theorists believe they could have finally found it, using Google Earth. The giant structure that is believed to have been found at the bottom of the ocean, just west of Mexico in the Pacific Ocean. The structure is estimated to be between a massive 3.5 miles to 11 miles across.

Evacuations Ordered as Winds Fuel Northern California Fires
Evacuations were ordered as dry, hot winds fueled a wildfire burning out of control Sunday in rural Northern California, sending a stream of smoke some 75 miles (120 kilometers) south into the San Francisco Bay Area.  The fast-moving blaze that broke out Saturday in western Yolo County charred at least 34 square miles (88 square kilometers) of dry brush and threatened more than two dozen structures in ranchland northwest of Sacramento.
No injuries were reported and the exact number of people evacuated was unclear. Autumn Edens marveled as a huge plume blocked the sun while she drove to her job as manager of the Corner Store in Guinda, a town of about 250 people just north of the fire. “You can see the smoke and you can see an orange-red glow from the flames. It looks like a movie,” she said. “I’ve never seen a fire like that up close and it’s an intense feeling.”

Geologists detail likely site of San Andreas Fault’s next major earthquake
Jul 1, 2018 | 0  |     

Geologists detail likely site of San Andreas Fault’s next major earthquake
Back in 1905, the Colorado River, swollen with heavy rainfall and snowmelt, surged into a dry lake bed along California’s San Andreas Fault and formed the Salton Sea. The flood waters submerged most of the small town of Salton, along with nearby tribal lands. The inundation also covered a key, seismically active stretch of the San Andreas Fault’s southern tip in silt, hiding evidence of its potential volatility. Utah State University geologist Susanne Jänecke began hypothesizing the location and geometry of the
sediment-obscured fault zone more than a decade ago. After securing funding from the Southern California Earthquake Center in 2011, she, along with USU graduate student Dan Markowski and colleagues, embarked on the painstaking task of documenting the uplifted, highly folded and faulted area with geologic mapping and analysis. The geologists’ persistence revealed a nearly 15.5-mile-long, sheared zone with two, nearly parallel master faults and hundreds of smaller, rung-like cross faults. Dubbed the “Durmid Ladder” by the team, the well-organized structure could be the site of the region’s next major earthquake.

Intense dust storm hits Senegal and causing damage and killing livestock
A surprisingly intense dust storm swept across parts of Senegal including capital Dakar this week, causing damage and leaving livestock dead. The storm signals a ‘dramatic’ start to the country’s rainy season.  Several planes at Blaise Diagne International Airport in Dakar, as well its newly opened terminal
building, were damaged after a severe dust storm swept over capital Dakar with wind gusts up to 90 km/h (56 mph). The storm brought near zero visibility and caused a number of livestock deaths, locals said. It was followed by thunderstorms and heavy rain, signaling the start of country’s rainy season (mid-June to mid-October).

Christian Death Toll Rises to 200 in 4-Day Muslim ‘Killing Spree’ in Nigeria
The death toll of last weekend’s massacre of Nigerian Christians by militant Muslim Fulani herdsmen has risen to at least 200, according to a report released Friday by Open Doors, an organization that monitors Christian persecution.  As Breitbart News reported earlier this week, heavily armed gunmen recognized as Fulani herdsmen opened fire on Christians in a number of villages in Plateau State of c
entral Nigeria last weekend, killing scores and injuring hundreds more, as well as burning some 50 homes to the ground. Most of the victims were returning home from the funeral of the father of a local Christian minister. Despite the evidently religious nature of the slaughter, mainstream media chose to downplay the militant Islamism behind the attacks, preferring to attribute the violence to “ethnic tensions,” a “battle for land and resources,” or even “climate change.” READ MORE https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2018/06/30/christian-death-toll-rises-to-200-in-4-day-muslim-killing-spree-in-nigeria/

School Bans Parents From Viewing LGBT Videos Shown to Kids
(By Todd Starnes) For four days last April students at a Emmaus High School in Pennsylvania were forced to watch videos selected by the “student-led” Gay-Straight Alliance.  The videos ranged from “9 Questions Gay People Have About Straight People” to a compilation of clips celebrating “marriage equality.” There was also a video educating students about gender fluidity – the idea there is no such thing as male or female. “My
son expressed to me that he felt bullied by the administration for being a heterosexual man and being forced to listen to LGBT advocacy on a daily basis,” one parent wrote in a letter to the school district. The East Penn School District claimed the videos, shown during daily announcements, were about anti-bullying and the LGBT movement.

Deadly Heatwave melts roads in Ireland and the U.K.
Roads melted “like chocolate” across the U.K. and Ireland this week as a heatwave blasted the area.  Photos posted to social media by drivers and government agencies depicted the damage caused by surface temperatures reaching 125 degrees.  Roadworks authorities were planning to spread light-colored sand on the worst-affected stretches to act as both a sunscreen and to help stabilize the
liquefying bitumen, which can be a hazard for drivers, SWNS reports. The issue stems from the fact that many of the roads in the area don’t use the more expensive high-temperature that is available due to costs and the normally mild climate. Several more heatwaves have been predicted for this summer, which experts told The Irish Sun could be the hottest in a century.

School District Tells Coach: ‘If You Talk to God, You’re Fired’
First Liberty Institute attorney Michael Berry said Bremerton High School in Washington State picked on the wrong Marine.  First Liberty is representing Joe Kennedy, a Marine and former assistant football coach at the local high school. Kennedy was fired in 2015 after he took a knee to pray after a football game.  “The (district told him) if you talk to God you’re fired,” Berry said on the Todd Starnes Radio Show. Since 2008,
Kennedy had quietly taken a knee after every football game to honor a covenant he made with God.  “That prayer would be by itself, silent or very quiet, and no more than 15 or 30 seconds,” Berry said. “That happened for seven years without a single complaint or issue, but as we all know, no good deed goes unpunished.” Fearing a potential lawsuit from atheists or secularists, the school district ordered Coach Kennedy to stop praying. He was told he could not even bow his head or do anything that would give the impression that he was praying to God.

Dozens of hammerhead shark pups found dead in Honolulu
Hawaii authorities are investigating after dozens of baby hammerhead sharks were found dead near Keehi Lagoon in Honolulu.  The state Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement has opened an investigation following the discovery of 50 to 100 dead shark pups piled up near La Mariana Sailing Club on Tuesday morning. The lagoon is a known birthing location for hammerhead sharks, but it not
natural for shark pups to be found on shore in large numbers, state officials said. The sharks may have been netted and dumped on land by a fisherman, said Andrew Rossiter, the director of the Waikiki Aquarium. “To breathe they have to keep moving, so once they’re in the net for even two to three minutes, they’re unable to breathe and they suffocate,” Rossiter told KHON-TV.

Prominent Ugandan Bishop warns of “Prosperity Gospel” Sweeping Africa, While Pentecostals Ignore Jesus
Prosperity gospel preaching is sweeping Africa and Pentecostal congregations, but it is not Christian and it ignores the words of Jesus, a prominent Ugandan bishop declared at the Global Anglican Future Conference in Jerusalem last week. The massive gathering of conservative Anglicans, with nearly 2,000 delegates from 53 countries, featured a speech by Bishop Rt. Rev. Alfred Olwa, where he urged believers
not to reject Jesus. Olwa said that the prosperity gospel that is sweeping Africa “especially among Pentecostals” does not belong to the Christian faith, as reported by UGChristianNews.com. “They ignore texts when Jesus talks about the poor and focus on those texts that proclaim wealth,” he said of such preachers, without naming names.

Hillsong Worship Pastor’s Evolution Comments Spark Fierce Debate Among Christians
Hillsong Church has, over the years, hardly avoided the limelight, often finding itself at the center of hotly-contested debates. Now one of its biggest leaders is running headlong into the creation debate.  Joel Houston,  eldest son of the Sydney-based church’s founders, lead musician in the worship band
Hillsong United, and co-pastor of Hillsong Church in New York City, tweeted Monday that “evolution is undeniable.” Houston is certainly not the first to raise questions about the six-day creation story outlined in Genesis, but the affirmation of evolutionary theory nevertheless remains controversial in many — if not most — Christian circles today.

Reality Star Claims Her Memoir Will Be ‘Bigger Than the Bible’
Reality star Gemma Collins expects her new memoir to touch lives, but her comments about how much may have crossed a line.  “I think this book is bigger than the Bible and do you know why?” Collins says in an interview. “Because this is going to spread cheer like the Bible. You know how that touches [our] hearts and everything? My book does the same. It spreads happiness and it’s not the sort of book you’ll
read once either—you’ll go back to it and back to it.

Roe v Wade at Stake, These 5 Senators Hold Key as Dems Try to Stump Trump Supreme Court Pick

Roe v Wade at Stake, These 5 Senators Hold Key as Dems Try to Stump Trump Supreme Court Pick
Democrats on Capitol Hill are already working to block President Trump’s potential nominee for the Supreme Court. And it’s no surprise the battle lines are forming around an issue that’s core to both sides – abortion.  Pro-lifers see an opportunity to overturn Roe v Wade, and abortion supporters are very worried that could happen, so both side are using the issue to fire up their bases.
For conservatives who had Supreme Court vacancies in mind when they voted for President Donald Trump, Justice Anthony Kennedy’s retirement is a dream come true. “Kennedy’s retirement is a momentous event for the pro-life movement,” says Catherine Glenn Foster, president of Americans United for Life. Pro-choice Democrats have already began speaking out about opposing a pro-life Trump nominee.

Blind Iraqi Refugee Memorizes 87 Chapters of the Bible
Leading the Way Ministries reports they delivered one of their solar-powered Navigator audio Bibles to Fadhil, a blind Iraqi refugee in Amman, Jordan.  They visited the man’s home again and discovered he had memorized 87 chapters of the Bible.  The man told the ministry team he just sits and listens to the Word of God every day.
Team members said they were humbled to visit Fadhil in his home while he quoted scripture after scripture to them. “It was convicting because for us we memorize a couple of verses. But he memorized chapters. He just meditates on scriptures day in and day out,” David Bottoms told Charisma News.  “Fadhil is someone who would seem unremarkable by the ways of the world. But God doesn’t choose to reveal Himself through the mighty and the powerful and the rich,” CONTINUE http://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/2018/june/he-sits-and-listens-to-the-word-of-god-every-day-blind-iraqi-refugee-memorizes-87-chapters-of-the-bible


Churches Slapped with Shocking New Taxes

Churches Slapped with Shocking New Taxes
Churches and non-profit organizations are calling for the repeal of a provision in the GOP’s tax cuts law that would force ministries to file federal tax returns, and in some cases pay taxes. Last winter, as lawmakers touted the tax savings in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts, no one mentioned this new federal tax on local churches. But for non-profits like Christian ministries, that little-known provision in the legislation has become a big cause for concern.
The six-month-old tax law could even force some churches to file state income tax returns and pay state taxes as well. Under the new tax plan, churches, hospitals, colleges and other historically tax-exempt groups must pay a 21 percent tax on some benefits they provide their employees, such as parking, transportation and other related benefits.

Altars of Error
(By Ryan Johnson) I want to be clear and straightforward with everyone who reads the following…I believe that this is a word for each and every one of us. It’s not a word where we point fingers while only thinking of others. It is a word of self-evaluation before self-preservation. This will not be one of those feel good, God’s got you, regardless of your desire to repent kind of words. This is definitely a word that is good for you, but I want to be very clear with the urgency that I feel as I have spent countless hours in prayer and seeking wisdom for what I have been seeing and feeling throughout the Ekklesia. So, if you want to tap out now, I get it. But for those that will proceed, please prayerfully consider this as a serious warning (or alarm), and not just another word to like and/or share. Let us all as individuals examine ourselves!
I don’t believe for one minute that God is an angry guy looking down upon mankind waiting for the right moment to zap us with a bolt of lightning to further validate His reason of hatred toward sin. I strongly believe in the reality of God’s Grace, His Mercy, and His Love for man. However, I am not a reckless fool in which I believe that the LORD is turning His head from the wickedness of man and simply winking at our destruction. Though full of Grace and Mercy, the LORD is still Holy and Righteous. Sin, regardless of how we may want to define it still defiles mankind from the Father. There may be those who are advocates of life without repentance, but the word of the LORD still defines repentance as a necessary right to our relationship with the Father. I could go on and on at the differences of opinions that have continued to create a division among one another, but I will leave those topics for another day. I have been at a loss for many months now over what I have witnessed, what I have heard, what I have seen, and what I continue to observe.

Canadian Man Faces 2 Years in Prison for Passing Out Jesus Saves Pamphlets at Gay Pride Parade
A Christian bus driver in Toronto has been charged with a “hate crime” for distributing pamphlets saying homosexuality can lead to diseases and that Jesus can save gay people if they repent.  Bill Whatcott “distributed anti-gay material which promoted hatred toward the gay community,” Toronto Police Service said in a statement, adding that he was arrested in Calgary and later returned to Toronto.
The 51-year-old Christian man was charged with “willful promotion of hatred against an identifiable group, namely the gay community.” The pamphlets he allegedly distributed said homosexuality is associated with sexually transmitted diseases, including HPV of the rectum, which the U.S. Centers for Disease Control says is true, according to The Federalist.

Jim Carrey Painting Depicts Donald Trump Crucifying Jesus
Jim Carrey’s art assault on President Donald Trump has reached biblical proportions.  The comedy actor shared a new painting on Sunday featuring Trump crucifying Jesus Christ. The Trump caricature, his face twisted in anger, drives a nail through Jesus’ palm as blood pours out. The “Bruce Almighty” actor
offered his interpretation of “Christianity, Trump style” in the caption. “Jesus was a loser,” the comedian imagined Trump saying. “A failed carpenter. He’s a savior because he was crucified. I like people that weren’t crucified.” Carrey included a voter registration link, as he has done in some other recent artworks in a campaign to oust Republicans in elections.

26 Americans in 7 cities have reported injuries by unusual sounds, Explanation remains a mystery
As President Donald Trump was heading to Singapore for a historic summit with North Korea’s leader, a State Department diplomatic security agent who was part of the advance team reported hearing an unusual sound he believed was similar to what was experienced by U.S. diplomats in Cuba and China who later became ill.   The agent immediately underwent medical screening — part of a new U.S. government protocol established to respond to such potential health incidents anywhere in the world.
And while the president was flying to the Southeast Asian city state, the U.S. delegation preparing for his arrival was exchanging urgent messages with the State Department headquarters back in Washington, including the agency’s Diplomatic Security and the U.S. Secret Service. It turned out to be a false alarm, according to four U.S. officials familiar with the matter, who were not authorized to speak to the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

US intelligence believes North Korea is making more nuclear bomb fuel despite talks
US intelligence agencies believe North Korea has increased production of fuel for nuclear weapons at multiple secret sites in recent months and may try to hide these while seeking concessions in nuclear talks with the United States, NBC news quoted US officials as saying. In a report on Friday, the network said what it described as the latest US intelligence assessment appeared to go counter to sentiments
expressed by President Donald Trump, who tweeted after an unprecedented June 12 summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un that “there is no longer a nuclear threat from North Korea.”  NBC quoted five unidentified US officials as saying that in recent months North Korea had stepped up production of enriched uranium for nuclear weapons, even as it engaged in diplomacy with the United States.

Ex-NASA professor claims ‘many governments’ have covered up alien encounters…
As a NASA research scientist and now a professor of physics, I attended the 2002 NASA Contact Conference, which focused on serious speculation about extraterrestrials.  During the meeting a concerned participant said loudly in a sinister tone, ‘You have absolutely no idea what is out there!’ The silence was palpable as the truth of this statement sunk in. Humans are fearful of extraterrestrials
visiting Earth. Perhaps fortunately, the distances between the stars are prohibitively vast. At least this is what we novices, who are just learning to travel into space, tell ourselves.  I have always been interested in UFOs. Of course, there was the excitement that there could be aliens and other living worlds. But more exciting to me was the possibility that interstellar travel was technologically achievable.

Canada strikes back with retaliatory tariffs and warns ‘We will not back down’
Canada’s foreign minister announced Friday that Ottawa plans to impose about $12.6 billion worth of retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods on July 1, joining other major U.S. allies striking back in the escalating trade dispute.  The country is working closely with the European Union and Mexico, according to Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland. “We will not escalate, and we will not back down,” Freeland said.
Canada’s announcement is part of larger fallout from U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcements on trade. The U.S. has levied tariffs of 25 percent on steel and 10 percent on aluminum on Canada, the EU and other nations. As a result, some of the U.S.’ biggest trading partners have retaliated with counter-tariffs.

Rising Temps Bring Haunting Memories Of Heat Wave That Killed More Than 700
Could it ever happen again?  With heat indexes reaching triple digits his weekend, many Chicago residents might be reminded of the killer heat wave 23 years ago that killed more than 700 people.  A lot has changed since 1995. Chicago has better systems in place to monitor those people who are most at risk in excessive heat.
However, back then, city officials seemed to take the dangerous temps for granted. At the time, Mayor Daley, didn’t seem too concerned, stating the obvious: “It’s hot. It’s hot out there. We all walk out there. It’s very, very, very hot.” There were no warnings or much intervention on the part of the city then. And things began to fall apart. When it was over, a total of 739 people lost their lives.

Government Rips Away Religious Freedom From Chinese Minors

Government Rips Away Religious Freedom From Chinese Minors
On a recent Sunday morning, the local authorities broke into a church service in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China, and demanded that children under the age of 18 leave the service immediately. One of the women pleaded with the officer to allow her to stay at the service with her infant baby. The officer rejected her request and replied: “Anyone under 18 shall be banned from all religious activities.” The woman was dragged out of the meeting room with her baby.

Similar incidents have happened during church services in many cities around China since the revised Regulation on Religious Affairs became effective on Feb. 1, 2018, which severely curtails the religious freedom of minors. According to the Regulations, unregistered religious groups, such as house churches, are deprived of the right to provide religious training, including Sunday school, to the children of their church members. Sunday schools were forced to shut down or change the type of class to something non-religious, like drawing or crafting.

Parents, there’s a shocking, sexual movie on Netflix you need to know about
Netflix is reportedly under investigation for streaming an Argentinian film that includes a graphic sexualized scene with two underage girls.  The conservative site PJ Media revealed Wednesday that it had reported the movie, “Desire,” to the FBI, the Department of Justice and the National Center for
Missing and Exploited Children. Writer Megan Fox said an investigation had commenced. “Desire” tells the story of two sisters — Lucía and Ofelia — who meet at Lucía’s wedding after seven years apart. Then, when Juan, Lucía’s husband, and Ofelia meet, “they feel like a disruptive fantasy [has] enchanted their minds and bodies.”

Jim Bakker claims God told Him the first “Horse of the Apocalypse” is now released
Controversial televangelist Jim Bakker has claimed that God spoke to him as he was reading Revelation 6 in the Bible and told him that the first horseman of the Apocalypse has been released upon the world, with President Donald Trump being a “respite” before the End Times.  Bakker, who regularly talks about the end of the world on his weekly television show, and sells food items and survival gear meant to aid
believers in perilous times, said earlier this week that he recently asked God some big questions in prayer. “You need to give me some answers. What is going on in this crazy world — there is such warfare amongst our own people, in America,” he pleaded. He then said that he opened up his Bible, and God “brought me back to where I preach all the time, Revelation 6,” namely the narrative about the four horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Our Culture Is Drunk on This Corrupting Evil—Here’s How to Avoid It

Our Culture Is Drunk on This Corrupting Evil—Here’s How to Avoid It
(By Gary Curtis) Last week, President Trump visited the U.S. Capitol for a meeting with Republican members of the House of Representatives. Videotape captured the sound of a female Congressional intern yelling an expletive at him from across the other side of the rotunda, as Mr. Trump was walking through the Capitol Building.  The echoed obscene outburst is a current example of prevalent vulgarities in public discourse and the present degradation of the political process. Many modern politicians and political
leaders (both men and women) seem unashamed to dish out vile obscenities—in public and in private. For instance, the new leftist chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Tom Perez, who sets the style and substance of the party’s platform and policies, recently went on a disgusting profanity-laced anti-Trump rant. Trump also has been known to have his share of “salty language” in public and private, though his courting of certain evangelical leaders has tamed this somewhat. These outbursts of profane epithets are not only obnoxious and offensive to many but also tend to further the corrosion of civil dialogue regarding public policy.

Denver breaks heat record at 100 degrees as intense heat wave set to grip north
Xcel Energy says that they anticipate Thursday to be the highest-usage day of 2018. Denver broke the heat record which was previously at 99 degrees by reaching 100 degrees at 11:31 a.m. Thursday. Denver would go on to tie the all-time heat record in the city, 105 degrees, at 2:20 p.m. That ties the all-time heat record set on June 26, 2012. Water World hosted it’s annual Belly Flop Contest on Thursday morning,
when it had already reached 100 degrees. The belly floppers said they have been training and thinking up unique moves for the competition. “Anyone out there who wants to belly flop you definitely have to get the technique down. The closer you get to hitting the water at once the more perfect your flop is going to be,” said Belly Flop contestant Nikko Bermea. READ MORE
Temperatures will soar across much of the U.S. the next few days, approaching 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 Celsius) from Chicago to New York as the summer’s first heat wave takes hold and spurs electricity demand. Heat advisories and excessive heat warning stretch from Minnesota to Louisiana and from Nebraska to Ohio, according to the National Weather Service. Bulletins have also been posted in New York and Vermont.  “That is a huge area,” said Bob Oravec, a senior branch forecaster at the U.S. Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland. “I bet today they expand it all the way across the eastern U.S.” to include the southeast.

Sierra Negra volcano erupts, Prompting evacuations, 13 years since last eruption
The Sierra Negra volcano on Isabela Island in the Galapagos erupted on Tuesday, causing evacuations and triggering an orange alert.  Two strong 5.3-magnitude earthquakes shook the Sierra Negra volcano, triggering a new eruptive period for the volcano. Strong lava fountains and multiple flows of lava were seen on Tuesday, June 26.
It has been 13 years since Sierra Negra last erupted and 10 days since La Cumbre volcano erupted on neighboring island Fernandina. Fernandina Island is uninhabited but endangered nearby wildlife with a lava flow that entered the ocean. Isabela Island has a population of 1,748 and is the largest island in the Galapagos with volcano Sierra Negra at the southeastern end of the island.

Probability of a major earthquake occurring within the next 30 years has increased significantly in northern Japan
The probability of a major earthquake occurring within the next 30 years has increased significantly in eastern Hokkaido, including Kushiro and Nemuro, according to a new seismic hazard map released by a Japanese Government committee.  The 2018 national seismic hazard map indicates the danger of an earthquake measuring at least lower 6 on the Japanese seismic intensity scale of 7. A review of the scale
and the probability of a quake occurring in the Chishima Trench on the Pacific side of Hokkaido led to the indication of a higher danger level for eastern Hokkaido.  The probability for Kushiro in eastern Hokkaido rose 22 percentage points from the previous map to 69 percent, while Nemuro saw its figure rise 15 points to 78 percent. The increases are attributed to the scale and probability of an earthquake occurring in the Chishima Trench, which was revised last year.

Pennsylvania homes raided in investigation into mystery explosions
FBI agents and state and local police have swarmed two homes as part of an investigation into a series of mysterious explosions around a county about an hour north of Philadelphia. Police have been investigating reports of about three dozen explosions across Upper Bucks County since early April, typically in the middle of the night. No one has been hurt.
The most recent explosion happened June 14, not far from one home investigators raided on Thursday. A municipal worker on a ride-on mower was cutting grass along a roadside when he ran over something that exploded. He wasn’t injured, but the blast left a crater about 2 feet deep and 2 feet across.

Faith Leaders Urge Prayer for President and Wisdom as Search Begins for Justice Kennedy’s Replacement
Faith leaders are reacting to the announcement by Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy that he’s retiring after serving on the high court for three decades.  Evangelist Franklin Graham issued a call to prayer. “During the last presidential election, I encouraged people to vote and reminded them that election was not about bad language or one’s emails—but it was really about who did you trust most to nominate a justice or justices to the nation’s highest court,” Graham wrote on Facebook. 
“President Donald J. Trump has already nominated a conservative, Neil Gorsuch; and now he has a historic opportunity to nominate another justice to take Justice Anthony Kennedy’s place who is stepping down next month,” Graham continued.  “Let’s pray for the president, that he will select a justice who fears God, who will uphold the Constitution, and who will defend the liberties of all Americans,” he said.

‘Little House on the Prairie’ Deemed Too Racist for Kids
The Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) voted to remove Laura Ingalls Wilder’s name from a prominent children’s literature award.  Her crime? Racist stereotypes in her iconic children’s book series Little House on the Prairie. The organization says the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award will now be called the Children’s Literature Legacy Award.  “Wilder’s books are a product of her life experiences
and perspective as a settler in America’s 1800s. Her works reflect dated cultural attitudes toward Indigenous people and people of color that contradict modern acceptance, celebration, and understanding of diverse communities,” the ALSC said in a statement. “Changing the name of the award should not be viewed as an attempt to censor, limit, or deter access to Wilder’s books and materials, but rather as an effort to align the award’s title with ALSC’s core values,” it continued.

rain started falling throughout the region on Saturday, June 23, killing 5 people and leaving 12 missing in the province of Lai Châu. Floods and landslides swept away or damaged hundreds of homes, the country’s Central Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention said, adding that some sections of national and provincial roads were damaged, causing serious traffic jams.

The Activist Mommy Warns of ‘God’s Wrath’ as Ashley Madison Releases Top 20 US Cities for Adultery
Ashley Madison, the infidelity website that helps adults find willing partners for affairs, has released a list of the top 20 cities in America where users most look to cheat.  Conservative activists, such as Elizabeth Johnston, who’s known online as “the Activist Mommy,” have warned that Americans are
eager to attract “God’s wrath” by engaging in such deceit.  Ashley Madison shared its 2017 numbers with USA Today last week, revealing that a little over half of the website’s 54 million users are female. “We know that these women are coming to our site because we provide a discreet platform for like-minded adults to connect and potentially meet,” Ashley Madison’s president and CTO, Ruben Buell, said.

Supreme Court Unanimously Upholds Woman’s Right to Pray in Her Own Home
In a stunning reversal of a lower court decision Thursday, the US Supreme Court sided with religious liberty, ruling unanimously that a Kansas woman does indeed have the right to pray in her own home.  The case, Sause v. Bauer, centers on Mary Anne Sause, a devout Catholic who was playing her radio in her home when, according to her attorneys, police were called to investigate “a minor noise complaint.”
Sause says the cops harassed her and threatened to take her to jail when she asked why she would be arrested. Sause says that’s when things escalated. According to The Christian Post, when the retired nurse asked the officers for permission to pray silently, the officers allowed it and then ordered her to stop praying.

Paranormal Investigator Claims To Find ‘Time Warp’ Near Las Vegas
Jun 28, 2018 | 0  |     
Apparently what happens in Vegas, may not actually stay in Vegas.  A paranormal researcher named Joshua Warren claims he is the first person to ever discover a time warp, which he found near the city. Warren said he has been measuring the rate of time all over in areas between Las Vegas and the top-secret Air Force site known as Area 51.
Last week he found a spot in the desert just north of Vegas where he claims time has slowed down. Using what’s known as a “differential time rate meter,” also known as a “DT meter,” he claimed that for the first time ever he was able to record a measurement showing time had been slowing down for 20 microseconds — something that laws of physics prove should not occur.

Severe drought grips 40% of Inner Mongolia, China
A persistent drought is affecting as much as 40% of China’s remote northwestern region of Inner Mongolia, causing over US$91 million in direct economic losses.  The regional weather bureau said Inner Mongolia has seen 25% less rainfall since mid-June and is around 1 °C (1.8 °F) higher in temperature than during the same period in previous years. By June 27, 2018, nearly 37 million hectares (91 million
acres) of grassland and over 35 million livestock had been affected, according to data provided by the regional department of agriculture and animal husbandry. The conditions caused rat plague which is threatening more than 4 million ha (10 million acres) of grassland throughout the region. Officials said Inner Mongolia’s northeastern and eastern areas suffered their worst drought on record in 2017.

New eruption of Mount Agung disrupts air travel, Bali, Indonesia
Several eruptions were registered at Indonesia’s Mount Agung volcano in Bali on June 27 and 28, 2018. The eruptions produced a dense ash plume that rose up to 5 km above sea level and forced AirAsia to cancel numerous flights on June 28. Officials in Ngurah Rai International Airport are still assessing whether to halt operations again.  Agung erupted on Thursday, June 28, 2018, producing a dense white
and black volcanic ash plume that rose up to 1.5 to 2 km (5 000 – 6 500 feet) above crater summit. This is up to 5 km (16 404 feet) above sea level.  Ashfall was reported in nearby communities. At least 27 AirAsia flights scheduled to arrive to and to depart from I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS), Denpasar have been canceled or postponed and the company urged all guests to update their contact details at airasia.com to ensure that they are notified of any updates to their flights.

Five dead, others ‘gravely injured’ in shooting at Capital Gazette newspaper in Annapolis
At least five people were killed and several others were “gravely injured” in a shooting Thursday afternoon at the Capital Gazette in Anne Arundel County, authorities said.  A shooter is in custody, police said. Police would not name the suspect, but said he was a Maryland resident in his late 30s and had specifically targeted the Capital.  “This was a targeted attack on the Capital Gazette,” said Anne Arundel County Deputy Police Chief William Krampf.

“This person was prepared today to come in. He was prepared to shoot people.” Police said a “long gun” was used in the incident, but did not specify which kind. They said officers did not exchange gunfire with the suspect, who was now being interrogated. They said officers had recovered “smoke grenades” used by the suspect in the building, located at 888 Bestgate Road. About 170 people were inside at the time of the shooting, police said.

Suicide among farmers in America reaches staggering numbers…
“Think about trying to live today on the income you had 15 years ago.” That’s how agriculture expert Chris Hurt describes the plight facing U.S. farmers today.  The unequal economy that’s emerged over the past decade, combined with patchy access to health care in rural areas, have had a severe impact on the people growing America’s food. Recent data shows just how much. Farmers are dying by suicide at a
higher rate than any other occupational group, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  The suicide rate in the field of farming, fishing and forestry is 84.5 per 100,000 people—more than five times that of the population as a whole. That’s even as the nation overall has seen an increase in suicide rates over the last 30 years. The CDC study comes with a few caveats. It looked at workers over 17 different states, but it left out some major agricultural states, like Iowa.

Red meat allergies caused by tick bites are on the rise

Red meat allergies caused by tick bites are on the rise
Experts say that this year’s tick season is shaping up to be possibly the worst in recent memory. Beyond Lyme disease and other tick-borne ailments, a new threat is emerging from ticks whose bites can prompt an allergy to red meat.   Tick bites can cause a long list of problems, and now there is evidence that a tick bite could be the trigger for an allergy to red meat, according to Dr. Scott Commins, Associate Professor
of Medicine in the Department of Allergy & Immunology at the University of North Carolina. A woman from Maryland had a horrible reaction while eating an Italian-style pork sausage last year, and her symptoms were all linked back to a tick bite she got three weeks earlier, while walking her dog.  In susceptible individuals, multiple tick bites appear to result in sensitization to alpha-gal, a substance present in red meat, which then causes an allergic reaction, according to Dr. Commins.

Ominous Cloud Formation in TN Prompts “UFO Fears”
Earlier this month, people near Memphis, Tennessee, spotted an odd formation in the sky after a storm.  It was an ominous, cylindrical mass that some likened to a UFO.  The mysterious sight prompted at least one person to snap photos, wondering what this UFO-like image might be.  Colby Hutton saw the mass in the sky over Adamsville, Tennessee, as he was driving over a bridge, his mom Angie Hutton told CBS
News.  Angie shared her son’s photo on Facebook, hoping someone could help them identify what it was. Local news station WMC-TV looked into the case.  It wasn’t an unidentified flying object, and despite it’s odd appearance, it has nothing to do with aliens at all. It’s a “roll cloud,” the National Weather Service (NWS) explains. These rare cloud formations are “low, horizontal tube-shaped arcus cloud associated with a thunderstorm gust front,” or sometimes, a cold front, NWS says.

California Considers Creating ‘Fake News Advisory Group’ To Monitor Media…
California is considering creating a “fake news” advisory group in order to monitor information posted and spread on social media.  Senate Bill 1424 would require the California Attorney General to create the advisory committee by April 1, 2019. It would need to consist of at least one person from the Department of Justice, representatives from social media providers, civil liberties advocates, and First Amendment
scholars. The advisory group would be required to study how false information is spread online and come up with a plan for social media platforms to fix the problem. The Attorney General would then need to present that plan to the Legislature by December 31, 2019. The group would also need to come up with criteria establishing what is “fake news” versus what is inflammatory or one-sided.

Rabbis claim mysterious light in the heavens is “Messianic Message”
A recent flash in the cosmos, far brighter than any nova, has scientists stumped, but one rabbi who delved into esoteric ancient sources, suggested an answer to this astronomical riddle, while heralding a powerful Messianic message.  On June 17, astronomers at the Keck Observatory’s twin Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) telescopes in Hawaii discovered an enormous, unprecedented bright flash in space that had just appeared in the heavens. Supernovae typically take
several weeks to develop but this flash, 10 to 100 times brighter than an average supernova, appeared in a region of space the astronomers had checked only two days before. “It really just appeared out of nowhere,” said Kate Maguire at Queen’s University Belfast, part of the ATLAS team, to New Scientist. The discovery was designated AT2018cow in the Astronomer’s Telegram, a website where professionals in the field post new observations of cosmic phenomena. The serendipitous letter ending of the random designation inevitably led astronomers to dub the new discovery, ‘the Cow.’

Florida Teen Is the First Human to Contract Mosquito-Borne Virus Typically Found in Animals
A Florida teen was infected by a mosquito-borne virus never before seen in humans, and researchers say this could mean there are more diseases being spread by the insects than previously thought.  In August 2016, a young man developed a rash and fever as a result of the Keystone virus, which was first discovered in mosquitoes in Keystone, Florida, in 1964, according to a recent study.  He went to an urgent care clinic, where doctors initially thought he may have gotten an infection from the Zika virus;
however, he tested negative for the disease, reports a release on the findings. During his treatment, University of Florida (UF) researchers unexpectedly discovered samples of the Keystone virus in his system. “Although the virus has never previously been found in humans, the infection may actually be fairly common in North Florida,” UF Emerging Pathogens Institute director Dr. J. Glenn Morris said in the release.

California wildfires destroy buildings and force evacuations
Wind-driven wildfires destroyed buildings and threatened hundreds of others Sunday as they raced across dry brush in rural Northern California.  The Pawnee Fire that broke out Saturday near the community of Clearlake Oaks has destroyed 12 buildings and threatened an additional 600 as it burned out of control across about 2.5 square miles (6.5 square kilometers). Authorities ordered people to evacuate all homes in the Spring Valley area, where about 3,000 people live.
“What we’re stressing is that people, when they get the evacuation order, they heed it immediately and get out and stay out until it is safe to return,” state Department of Forestry and Fire Protection Battalion Chief Jonathan Cox said. “This is one of four large fires burning in Northern California. It’s a good reminder that fire season is upon us.” Erratic wind and heat gripping a swath of California from San Jose to the Oregon border drove the flames,

Christian TV Channel Fined For Speaking Out Against Transgenderism
The British morning show R-mornings, broadcast in Spain on Revelation TV, was hit with a fine of approximately $7,000 for comments made in 2017 that the Spanish government deemed, “could be considered threatening to the dignity of the homosexual and transgender group.”  Spain’s National Commission of Markets and Competition explicitly admits that there “was no manifest incitation to hate
these groups” but instead sanctioned the station for comments which might be construed to impeach the dignity of homosexual and transgendered Spaniards.  In reality, it does no such thing and the Biblical message that was conveyed is no different than any typical Sunday sermon. The comments were centered around the debate over children being removed by their parents from schools that promote and encourage transgender behavior in students as young as five.

Saudi Arabia’s air defense forces intercepted a ballistic missile launched by Yemen’s Houthi militia over Riyadh on Sunday, the state-run al-Ikhbariya television said on Sunday.  The Houthis’ al-Masira television said later that rockets were aimed at Saudi defense ministry and other targets in the Saudi
capital. Reuters could not verify the report independently. At least six loud blasts were heard and bright flashes were seen in the sky over Riyadh, and puffs of smoke were later visible above the city, a Reuters witness said. No casualties were reported immediately.

Rockford, IL received three times its average June rainfall by June 22
Multiple rainfall records were broken in Rockford, Illinois after heavy rain drenched the Rock River Valley this week, causing significant flash flooding and forcing officials to impose boating restrictions on the Rock River. Heavy rainfall was recorded across the state this month, leading to widespread river flooding. According to data provided by the National Weather Service, Rockford’s June rainfall total
reached an incredible 305.5 mm (12.03 inches) by June 22, 2018. The amount set its new June monthly rainfall record, breaking the previous record of 300.99 mm (11.85 inches) set in 1993. Rockford’s average rain in June is 118.1 mm (4.65 inches), making its current amount three times the normal. The region began keeping such records in 1905.

New growing and steaming cracks open up on Big Island as Kilauea volcano shows no signs of rest
New huge cracks next to two small fissures technically considered part of fissure 10 up at the corner of Pomaikai and Malama are growing and now steaming. The cracks on these properties run parallel to each other approximately 100 ft wide at their widest point going in the direction straight down rift in the
middle of the fissure line.  This doesn’t necessarily mean a whole lot unless we begin to see changes at fissure 8 which we still really haven’t seen yet. But the ground is still splitting apart, cracks are widening and we’re seeing more and more steam up there.

US unprepared for increasing level of deadly bug diseases
In many parts of the United States, this weekend marks the start of summer sleepaway camp season, which means swimming, arts and crafts, marshmallow roasts — and, very often, ticks.  Of the more than 1,600 overnight camps that are members of the American Camp Association, more than a third are in New England and the mid-Atlantic states, where Lyme disease is particularly prevalent, according to
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  According to a May CDC report, cases of vector-borne diseases — those caused by viruses and bacteria carried by ticks, mosquitoes and other bugs — tripled in the United States from 2004 to 2016. For years, experts have voiced concern that many local public health agencies are unprepared to control such pests and limit the spread of the diseases.

Kushner says U.S. “Mideast Peace Plan” to be revealed soon
Jared Kushner, U.S. President Donald Trump’s senior adviser, said Washington would announce its Middle East peace plan soon, and press on with or without Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas.  The comments underlined gaping divisions between Washington and the Palestinian leadership that have widened since Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in December and moved the U.S. Embassy there, overriding decades of U.S. policy.
Palestinian officials, who want East Jerusalem as the capital of a future state, accused Kushner of trying to undermine Abbas and what they described as their leader’s moderate camp. Kushner – Trump’s son-in-law who is meeting leaders in the region, but not Abbas – told Palestinian newspaper Al Quds in an interview published in Arabic on Sunday, that he doubted whether the Palestinian president was willing or able to seal a deal.

Xi says China must lead way in reform of global governance
China must lead the way in reforming global governance, the foreign ministry on Saturday cited President Xi Jinping as saying, as Beijing looks to increase its world influence.  China has sought a greater say in global organizations such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and United Nations, in line with its growing economic and diplomatic clout. Since taking office in late 2012, Xi has taken a more muscular approach, setting up China’s own global bodies like the Asian Infrastructure
Investment Bank and launching his landmark Belt and Road project to build a new Silk Road. Beijing has cast itself a responsible member of the international community, especially as President Donald Trump withdraws the United States from agreements on climate change and Iran, and as Europe wrestles with Brexit and other issues. China must “uphold the protection of the country’s sovereignty, security and development interests, proactively participate in and show the way in reform of the global governance system, creating an even better web of global partnership relationships”

King of Turkey on cusp of becoming more powerful than ever
Recep Tayyip Erdogan sat in stony silence as he listened to the complaints of his citizens.  During his final drive for votes ahead of Sunday’s elections, the Turkish president agreed to go on a popular radio call in show, where the host nervously played recordings of people who had phoned in with their gripes.  The callers raised bread-and-butter issues that any democratic politician might expect to face – hospital
waiting times, school exams, small business regulations – but Mr Erdogan’s face darkened as he answered.  “The things that they have said are not true,” he told the host. “They haven’t said these things after serious examinations and because of that I deplore them [the claims].” Fifteen years after Mr Erdogan first took over as prime minister of Turkey, he appears on the cusp of an election victory under a new constitutional framework that would make him powerful than ever.  READ MORE https://www.yahoo.com/news/angry-erratic-erdogan-cusp-becoming-080000736.html

Venezuela urged to stop the transmission of measles and diphtheria
The Pan American Health Organization on Friday painted a bleak picture of Venezuela’s healthcare system, calling for urgent action to stop the transmission of measles and diphtheria amid an intensifying crisis that has seen an exodus of doctors.  The Americas were declared measles-free in 2016, but the viral
disease, which causes pneumonia, brain swelling and death made a comeback in Venezuela last year, according to PAHO, which is the regional office for the World Health Organization. The first case was confirmed in July 2017 but as of June 2018 that figure has risen to 2,285, with cases in 21 of Venezuela’s 24 states and the federal capital.

This Persecuted Coptic Girl’s Message to the World Will Give You Chills
A Coptic Christian church’s worship service turned into a bloodbath after a gunman opened fire, killing at least 11 people.   The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack, and many Christians were left wondering if they will ever be safe enough to worship Christ without fearing terrorism. One young girl, Nesma Wael, was there when the attack happened and wrote a heartfelt message to the world published by BeeCatholic.
Her message reads: “After Mass ended, I left the church with my cousin and my mother. My mom wore a cross around her neck, and all three of us were not wearing veils. In poorer neighborhoods, Muslim women often wear veils so they are distinguished from Christian women. “As we turned into a side street, we saw someone on a motorcycle heading toward the church. The next thing we knew, the man crashed his bike after hitting a pothole. My mother ran up to him to help, reassuring him, as she said: ‘In the name of the Jesus Christ, are you okay?’

Facebook Blocks Ads About Prophetic Trump Film
The producer of “The Trump Prophecy,” a film about a man who said God told him in 2011 that Donald Trump would become president, says Facebook is silencing him online.  Producer Rick Eldridge told Fox News that Facebook is blocking ads about the movie, saying it is too “political.” When the producers tried to appeal the ban of their ads, Facebook said “the text and/or imagery you’re using qualifies as political,
based on the definition we’re using for enforcement.”  “The name ‘Trump’ requires a reaction. Unfortunately people try to come up with a conclusion before they know what the story is about. We’re not doing political ads but that’s what we’re being accused of,” Eldridge told Fox News. The movie is being created from a partnership between ReelSWorks Studios and Liberty University’s film department.

China will have the world’s most powerful naval gun ready for war by 2025
China is currently testing the world’s most powerful naval gun and people with direct knowledge of a U.S. intelligence report say it will be ready for war by 2025.  Railguns use electromagnetic energy instead of gunpowder to propel rounds, and China’s is capable of striking a target 124 miles away at speeds of up to 1.6 miles per second, according to the report. For perspective, a shot fired from Washington, D.C., could reach Philadelphia in under 90 seconds.
Railguns have long appeared on Russian, Iranian and U.S. military wish lists as cost-effective weapons that give navies the might of a cannon with the range of a precision-guided missile. The rounds used in China’s railgun cost between $25,000 and $50,000 each, according to the intelligence assessment. Though not an exact comparison since the weapons have different technologies, the U.S. Navy’s Tomahawk cruise missile has an estimated price tag of $1.4 million each.

New Study Reveals That Marriage Is Good for Your Heart
Although through the years there have been many jokes about marriage, a new study says living with a married partner may help ward off heart disease and stroke, according to the news agency AFP. Researchers combing through 20 years of data on more than two million people, aged 42 to 77, found that being married significantly reduced the risk of both afflictions.
Their findings were recently published in the medical journal Heart. The study examined ethnically varied populations in Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia. Compared to married people, the divorced, widowed or never married were 42 percent more likely to develop cardiovascular disease and 16 percent more likely to have coronary heart disease, the study found.

Volcanic eruption reported at Telica volcano, Nicaragua
A moderately strong explosion took place at Nicaraguan Telica volcano at 13:08 UTC (07:08 local time) on June 21, 2018. The last eruptive phase of this volcano started on September 23, 2015, and ended May 11, 2016. It had Volcanic Explosivity Index of 2.  The volcano ejected a plume of gas and ash, sand and some rock up to 500 m (1 640 feet) from the crater. The column drifted to the east, south and southwest. INETER said fragments of ejected rock fell near the crater while the sandy material reached distances of
up to 1 km (0.6 miles). The volcano is now emitting gasses, but they do not represent a danger for the population. The agency said that new explosions are likely to occur during the day. Ashfall was reported in the communities of Los Manglares, Las Marías, Pozo Viejo, El Porvenir and Monte de Los Olivos. This activity represents the normal activity of an active volcano such as Telica and, at the moment, this type of activity does not present a danger to the population, INETER said.

Neuroscientist Claims Majority Of Diseases Caused By Negative Thoughts…
Former Surgeon General Doctor Vivek Murthy brought mental health to the forefront last September when he wrote in the Harvard Business Review that loneliness is a “growing health epidemic.” Now a recent survey by health service companyCigna adds to that by showing many Americans say they sometimes or always feel alone. The survey of more than 20,000 U.S. adults ages 18 years and older revealed some alarming findings:
Nearly half of Americans report sometimes or always feeling alone (46 percent) or left out (47 percent).
One in four Americans (27 percent) rarely or never feel as though there are people who really understand them.
Two in five Americans sometimes or always feel that their relationships are not meaningful (43 percent) and that they are isolated from others (43 percent).
One in five people report they rarely or never feel close to people (20 percent) or feel like there are people they can talk to (18 percent).
Interestingly, Generation Z — those ages 18 to 22 — were the loneliest group in the survey, while adults 72 and older were the least lonely. “Loneliness is defined as a feeling of being alone or lacking social connectedness,” Dr. Douglas Nemecek, M.D., chief medical officer for Behavioral Health at Cigna, told CBS News. “At Cigna, we’ve been hearing more and more from our customers and individuals calling us that they’re feeling lonely, alone and disconnected from others.

Invasive plant that causes 3rd-degree burns, permanent blindness discovered in Virginia
Officials in Virginia are warning residents to be on the lookout after an invasive plant was found Tuesday in the northern part of the state that can cause third-degree burns and even permanent blindness.  The Massey Herbarium at Virginia Tech said in a Facebook post that 30 giant hogweed plants were discovered in Clarke County, located between Winchester and Leesburg.  The plant contains a very toxic sap, that when combined with sun exposure, can cause severe health hazards.
“In brief, the sap prevents your skin from protecting itself from sunlight, which leads to a very bad sunburn,” according to the New York Department of Environmental Conservation. “Heat and moisture (sweat or dew) can worsen the skin reaction. The phototoxic reaction can begin as soon as 15 minutes after contact, with sensitivity peak between 30 minutes and two hours after contact.”

One of the driest places on earth covered in lakes after tropical cyclone Mekunu
When Tropical Cyclone Mekunu rumbled over Oman in May, it dumped torrential rainfall on the city of Salalah. Now, a new satellite image reveals the extent of unloaded rainfall in the nearby desert of Rub’ al-Khali, the world’s largest sand desert and (normally) one of the driest places on Earth.  The image, taken by NASA’s Operational Land Imager three days after the storm brought heavy rains to the region—Salalah saw 11 inches of precipitation in just 24 hours, more than double its yearly average—captures the
arid desert’s typical large swaths of sand with ripples sculpted by wind. But there’s one novel feature: water lakes in the flat lowlands between the sand dune tops.Aside from being quite the sight, these bountiful rainwater deposits could be beneficial for local business. “The land will need 30 days to sprout their summer plants,” Ali Al- Hatish, a regular visitor desert visitor, told Al Arabiya.net. After that, camel owners expect this vegetation to feed their camels for the next two years.

453 earthquakes strike Kilauea summit in 24 hours
Kilauea volcano in Hawaii is continuing to erupt, with the volcano and surrounding areas experiencing 453 earthquakes alone within the last 24 hours, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS).  Within the surrounding Leilani area, 5,914 acres of land have now been impacted, while 553 houses have been destroyed. The volcano has produced a large laze plume after an ash eruption on Sunday morning at the Kilauea summit.
USGS warned lava is shooting between 60ft and 165ft into the sky from Fissure 8 as lava continues to pour into the ocean at Kapoho Bay. USGS said: “The ocean entry is a hazardous area. Venturing too close to an ocean entry on land or the ocean exposes you to flying debris from a sudden explosive interaction between lava and water. Also, the lava delta is unstable because it is built on unconsolidated lava fragments and sand.

Earthquake swarm under Puyehue-Cordón Caulle volcano, alert level raised, Chile
Chilean authorities increased the alert level for Puyehue-Cordón Caulle volcano to Yellow (2 of 4) on June 20, 2018, following increased seismic activity detected under the volcano since the beginning of the month. The last eruptive phase of this volcano started on June 4, 2011 and ended in April 2012 (VEI 5). According to parameters observed between June 1 and 15, 2018, a total of 272 earthquakes were
recorded under the volcano, of which 48 were classified as long-period (LP) earthquakes associated with dynamics of fluids inside the volcano.  215 earthquakes were volcano-tectonic, associated with the movement (injection or withdrawal) of magma. These were located 0.6 km (0.4 miles) west of the center of 2011 eruption, at a depth of 2.8 km (1.7 miles). In addition, the seismic network registered 9 hybrid earthquakes of moderate magnitude, associated with evidence of deformation.

US stepping up Earth’s protection from asteroids and comets
The U.S. government is stepping up efforts to protect the planet from incoming asteroids that could wipe out entire regions or even continents. The National Science and Technology Council released a report Wednesday calling for improved asteroid detection, tracking and deflection. NASA is participating, along with federal emergency, military, White House and other officials.
For now, scientists know of no asteroids or comets heading our way. But one could sneak up on us, and that’s why the government wants a better plan. NASA’s planetary defense officer, Lindley Johnson, said scientists have found 95 percent of all these near-Earth objects measuring one kilometer (two-thirds of a mile) or bigger. But the hunt is still on for the remaining 5 percent and smaller rocks that could still inflict big damage.

New Zealanders warned giant volcano is ready to erupt for the first time in 500 years
New Zealand‘s Mount Taranaki is ‘almost certain’ to erupt in coming years and cause mass devastation to its nearby townships, experts have warned.   The chances of the volcano, on the west coast of the North Island, erupting within the next 50 years and ‘producing volcanic hazards’ is extremely likely, authorities said. ‘An eruption of Mount Taranaki is not a matter of ‘if’, it is a matter of ‘when’,’ a report on the
region’s latest five-year Civil Defence plan stated. ‘An eruption of Mount Taranaki could produce volcanic hazards such as tephra falls, pyroclastic density currents, lava flows, lahars, flooding, debris avalanches, sector collapses, lightning and volcanic gases.’  More than 450,000 people visit the Egmont National Park each year to hike its trails to the mountain’s 2500 metre summit.

Male Legislative Librarian Who Identifies as Female Sues State of Alaska for Not Covering ‘Gender Reassignment’ Surgery

Male Legislative Librarian Who Identifies as Female Sues State of Alaska for Not Covering ‘Gender Reassignment’ Surgery
A legislative librarian for the State of Alaska who was born male but identifies as female has sued the State after being informed that “AlaskaCare does not cover gender reassignment surgery.” The 36-year-old librarian, who goes by the name Jennifer Fletcher, obtained the desired operations last year, but ended up paying out of pocket. “This diverted financial resources that … Fletcher would have been able to use to pay off …
student loans and other debt,” the legal challenge, filed by the homosexual and transgender advocacy group Lambda Legal, reads.  It contends that AlaskaCare’s blanket exclusion of surgeries relating to gender dysphoria, in deeming such procedures to be medically unnecessary, deprives Fletcher and others of “equal dignity” and sends a message that “Fletcher’s worth as an employee is lesser than others, since the exclusion deprives [him] of compensation that other employees receive.”

The Danger of the”Hyper Grace” Prophetic Movement

The Danger of the”Hyper Grace” Prophetic Movement
(By Jeremiah Johnson) “Prophetic ministry flowing from those called to the office of prophet under the New Covenant still has the capacity to rebuke, correct, and discipline. Does it need to be done with brokenness and the right heart? Absolutely! But for the hyper-grace prophetic movement to now teach that the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross has banned prophets from delivering prophetic words that rebuke, bring correction, discipline, and call for repentance is heresy.  Here are five key indicators that the hyper-grace prophetic movement has overtaken a church culture or movement:

1. Warning the people that there are consequences for their sin and rebellion now gets prophets labeled as “doomsday prophets”.

2. Prophetic words calling for repentance and renouncing of specific sin is labeled as “judgmental and critical”.

3. If the prophetic words are not positive and encouraging, the prophet is labeled as “operating under the Old Covenant”.

4. Prophets who cry out for holiness and consecration and live a lifestyle of prayer and fasting are labeled “legalistic and harsh”.

5. Prophets who call out and expose false prophets and unbiblical practices are labeled “self-righteous, prideful, and rebellious”.

As we look at the life and ministry of Jesus and examine the New Testament, we see that correction, rebuke, uprooting, tearing down, and discipline are a part of prophetic ministry. Yes, building, planting, and encouraging are all a part of prophetic ministry but we must have balance! The same call that God gave Jeremiah in chapter 1 to tear down, uproot, overthrow, and destroy under the Old Covenant still holds weight under the New Covenant as demonstrated by Jesus Christ.”

Elite Girls School in New York Now Admitting Transgender Students
The Brearley School, a nearly $50,000 a year prestigious private girls’ school on Manhattan’s Upper East Side in New York, announced Monday that every applicant who considers themselves female are now welcome to apply and current students who no longer identify as female will be allowed to remain. The school insists in a statement on gender diversity that it will remain a school for girls.
“We recognize that the changing gender landscape poses questions faced by all girls’ schools. Brearley reaffirms its mission as a leader in girls’ education, and going forward will consider all applicants who identify as girls. In the instance that a current Brearley student no longer identifies as a girl, the school is committed to supporting the child and the family as appropriate to navigate the challenges inherent in being a transgender student in a girls’ school,” the school, founded in 1884, said.

‘Fight the Snakes That Are Coming Against You’

‘Fight the Snakes That Are Coming Against You’
(By Joe Joe Dawson) Just a few nights ago, I got in late from the Appeal to Heaven Conference, and it was so powerful. I had just gotten home and was getting ready to go to sleep. I fell asleep around 1:00 a.m. and had a prophetic dream. I woke up around 5:00 a.m. from the dream. This was one of the clearest and most vivid prophetic dreams the Lord has ever given me. In the dream, I walked into a house. Right when I walked in, on the living room floor, there was a very small black snake. I walked over, stepped on his head and kicked him out of the house.
In dreams, small snakes normally represent deceitfulness or poverty. They can mean a few different things, but it was just a small snake. After this, in the dream, I got in my car and started driving down the road. As I was driving, there were just a few snakes in the middle of the road, and I just drove over them. As I kept driving, more and more snakes were on the road. There were so many snakes at one point that I became fearful in the dream. Instead of driving over all of them, I drove around some of them and just let them be.

Canadian Judge Recognizes Two Men in Polyamorous Relationship With Woman as Parents of Child

Canadian Judge Recognizes Two Men in Polyamorous Relationship With Woman as Parents of Child
A Canadian judge has ruled that two men who are involved in a polyamorous relationship with a woman who gave birth last year should both be recognized as the child’s parents on his birth certificate. “Society is continuously changing and family structures are changing along with it,” wrote Justice Robert Fowler of the Newfoundland and Labrador Supreme Court’s family division. “This must be recognized as a
reality and not as a detriment to the best interests of the child.” He said that it would not be in the child’s best interests to deny parental recognition to both men, stating that when lawmakers passed the Children’s Law Act of 1997, which only allows two parents to be named on a birth certificate, they didn’t take into consideration the “now complex family relationships that are common and accepted in our society.”

Popular Arkansas Pastor Timothy Rogers Calls Hell a ‘Fairytale’ No Different Than Santa Claus
Timothy Rogers, a popular Arkansas evangelist and singer, is coming under fire after he recently declared at a funeral that Hell is a “fairytale” no different than Santa Claus.  Rogers, 38, who leads the Prince of Peace church in Blytheville, made his comments during a more than hour-long presentation at the funeral of a young man he said he did not know but was of the same generation. “‘Is he (the young man who passed) going to Hell? Did he accept Jesus as his …?’ See, y’all have been sold a lie. You’ve been bamboozled.

All that stuff is a fairytale. To believe in Hell means you have to believe in Santa Claus. I don’t care how you cut [it]. Hell is an imaginary place. And I was told that if anything that does not have an explanation must be imagination,” Rogers declared. “So that’s why you can talk about a Hell that you don’t know nobody went to. For a billion years ain’t nobody ever came back and told you that they were hot. For a billion years, ain’t nobody ever came back and told you that they up in yonder singing around in a choir. I didn’t come for you to agree with me.

Next blood moon on July 27th will be the largest of the 21st century
Next month’s “blood moon” eclipse will be the biggest the world has witnessed so far this century, with large swathes of Europe in line for a spectacular visual display on the night of July 27. And if that isn’t enough to whet the appetites of amateur stargazers, Mars will the closest to Earth it has been since 2003.
During a total lunar eclipse, the sunlight which reaches the Moon is refracted by Earth’s atmosphere, which filters out the Sun’s blue light – making the moon look red.  Next month’s eclipse will be especially long because the Moon will pass almost directly through the center of the Earth’s shadow or umbra.
The Earth will be at its furthest point from the Sun on the day in question, allowing it to cast a bigger shadow.

Kilauea shooting lava 180ft into air and showing no sign of stopping
Hawaii’s relentless Kilauea volcano is spitting deadly lava up to 180ft into the air six weeks since the monster first began its terrifying eruption sparking fears the devastation is far from over.  In the latest update from the US Geological Survey (USGS), the organization which has been monitoring the beast since its very first explosion on May 3, warned blistering lava has been seen shooting out of the volcano reaching heights of 180ft as Big Island remains on red alert.
The eruption shows no sign of stopping with USGS warning: “The eruption in the lower East Rift Zone continues with little change.” Lava is currently spilling out of Kilauea’s Fissure 8 and pooling towards the ocean where the combination of blistering heat from the lava and the cool water creates laze, a toxic phenomenon containing hydrochloric acid that when it comes into contact with skin causes severe rashes and blindness in eyes.

Viral Video Shows Priest Slapping Baby During Baptism
A video posted on Reddit showing a priest slapping a baby during a baptism is shocking viewers and garnering attention.  The video clip shows a French priest attempting to comfort a crying baby at a baptism ceremony. But 24 seconds into the video, the priest smacks the child on the cheek, eliciting louder cries and a gasp from the person filming.  A man standing behind the child, who’s suspected to be
the baby’s father, is also seen looking shocked at the priest’s actions and shortly afterward begins to grab the child away from the priest. The priest doesn’t let go though, continuing to grasp the child’s head as the father pulls him away before the video abruptly ends. Internet users are confused, worried and appalled at the priest’s actions, with one person writing, “That was uncalled for.”

Chinese Pastor Tortured in Prison Breaks into Song After Release
A Chinese pastor who was reportedly tortured while in prison is now a free man. Yang Hua was released Tuesday from a Chinese prison after spending nearly two-and-half years incarcerated on trumped-up charges.  According to his wife, Wang Hongwu, Yang broke out into loud worship songs after his release.
“Even though my husband experienced misfortune, his belief remains resolute,” Wang told ChinaAid. In December 2015, Pastor Li Guozhi, also known as Yang Hua, was taken into custody by authorities after a raid on his church in central Guizhou Province. Chinese authorities accused him of “illegally possessing state secrets” and collecting “illegal” donations from his church.

Former Satanic High Priest Says Christians’ Prayers Hindered Him from Carrying Out Evil
John Ramirez once worshipped the devil and carried out evil in the name of Satan.  Now a pastor, he knows all about the dark side. He once sacrificed animals as part of satanic rituals and his friends even called him, “Luficer’s son.” In his book, Armed and Dangerous: The Ultimate Battle Plan for Targeting and Defeating the Enemy, Ramirez details why Christians need to pray more effectively.

“I wrote this book because I wanted Christians to know that it’s not only a defense spiritual warfare, but there’s an offense spiritual warfare,” he told CBN News. “We need to keep the devil, the devil in his place.”Ramirez said he was most effective in Satanism when believers were prayerless.

More than 150 tremors hit Vancouver Island in last 24 hours, Cascadia fault line monitored
Vancouver Island is normally moving toward the Lower Mainland at a rate of about one centimeter per year.  “Ferry fares keep going up but the distance is actually getting a little bit shorter,” jokes John Cassidy, a seismologist with the Geological Survey of Canada. But every 14 months or so there is a Tremor and Slip event – a discovery made by two local scientists Gary Rogers and Herb Dragert – when
Vancouver Island slips backward a few millimeters towards Japan. Seismic recording instruments show Victoria moving in one direction and then changing direction for about two weeks during these episodes. These events add pressure to the locked Cascadian Subduction Zone fault. “It involves tiny tremors that we can record. They are not earthquakes. People don’t feel these shaking events. But we can easily record them over many seismic stations at the same time,” said Cassidy. “It looks like a train or a rumbling.”

I Couldn’t Break Free From Lust’s Chains Until I Did This

I Couldn’t Break Free From Lust’s Chains Until I Did This
(By Doug Weiss) Since the beginning of my more than 30 years counseling men who are trying to conquer lust, I have used this tip because it gives men the highest likelihood of becoming lust free: Make a phone call. This principle has two applications. The first application is to call another guy every day, regardless of how you are doing with lust. This is a time to check in on both your victories and failures. This phone call tells lust that you are viciously serious about getting rid of it in your life.
The second application is to call a guy when you are being tempted to lust. You make this call when the situation is occurring, or if you have found yourself lusting after another person or image. As soon as you make the call, it will immediately bring you back to reality—to protecting yourself and those you care the most about. The men who choose not to make daily calls also tend not to make calls when they are in trouble. This principle is successful if you use both parts: call daily to check in, and call when you are battling.

Deadly cold wave strikes Peru killing 600
According to Chile’s Ministry of Health (Minsa), 604 people have died of pneumonia by June 20, 2018, due to low temperatures. The number includes more than 400 older adults and 72 children under the age of 5. Since winter season is just beginning, low temperatures, snow and frost are expected to continue.  The director of the National Center of Epidemiology, Gladys Ramirez,
said that Lima has the highest number of influenza AH1N1, followed by Piura, Puno, Cuzco, Madre de Dios and Tacna. This season’s frost arrived earlier than usual and has already affected more than 32 000 Peruvians in 11 regions of the country. In some areas, such as San Antonio de Putinas in Puno, temperatures plummeted to – 15 °C (5 °F), causing deaths of at least 6 children.
