Pastor J.D. talks about the Islamic terrorist attack in Barcelona and addresses one of the most serious threats facing the church today.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ: It has been painful to watch the effects of several decades of reprogramming generations of American citizens to believe that just because something offends you, it must be eradicated or removed. Yet we are witnessing this very thing. The entitlement mentality to not be offended, to have free college, abortion on demand, to not have their feelings hurt to to determine one's sex by the mood or mode one gets up with in the morning has driven our society to the edge of uncertainty. Despite the fact that only a few hundred white nationalist...

Muslim agitator Sekou Odinga spoke recently at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice at City University of New York, a place where students presumably go to learn about American law and order based on the U.S. Constitution. But Odinga brought another message. The community organizer received applause at several points during his speech titled “Minorities and immigrant communities in the U.S. have a right to armed struggle and self-determination.” *snip* The Marxist newspaper Workers World published an article in February 2015 celebrating Odinga’s release, stating: “He was unjustly framed on six counts of attempted murder of police for ‘fighting...

Like weeds in the Spring, orange construction barrels pop up seemingly everywhere when road construction season begins. Those obstacles force us to pay very close attention to our surroundings by making us slow down, change our routes, pay careful attention to the detour signs and generally have a heightened awareness of the events happening all around us. Such is the same with Biblical Prophecy. Those signs, especially the ones centered on events in Jerusalem, are popping up everywhere. Since we do not want to be knocked off course, it's imperative that we carefully evaluate all the warning signs we encounter....

Pastor J.D. talks about two specific prophecies in the Bible that point to the events surrounding the Temple Mount, and how it may spark the setting off of the perfect prophetic firestorm in the days and weeks ahead.

Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas canceled scheduled security coordination meetings between Israeli and Palestinian officials.

Israel’s Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman told Ynet that Israel can manage without Palestinian security cooperation, but that the Palestinians will suffer without it. “We’ve managed for many years without...

t’s the old game – Arabs attack and then Israel is blamed for defending itself. Following the murder of two Israeli soldiers on the Temple Mount, at the hands of three Muslim terrorists, Israel did what any sovereign nation would do; it took measures to make sure it doesn’t happen again. In this case, authorities installed security detectors at the entrances to the site to keep it safe and orderly. But Mahmoud Abbas and other Arab leaders could not resist the temptation to accuse Israel of acting provocatively against Muslim sensitivities. Abbas demanded bloodshed… and over the weekend an Arab...

Full title : Jihadi first befriended, CHATTED with 2 German tourists before PULLING OUT MACHETE and slaughtering them Abdel-Rahman Shaaban was moderate … and then he wasn’t. One moment, he is the West’s dreamy idea of Muslim immigration; the next, reality. “Stay back, I am not after Egyptians,” Shaaban shouted in Arabic at his pursuers, according to the officials.

The seizure of Infidel girls and their use as sex slaves is sanctioned in the Qur’an. According to Islamic law, Muslim men can take “captives of the right hand” (Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, 33:50). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful unto thee thy wives unto whom thou hast paid their dowries, and those whom thy right hand possesseth of those whom Allah hath given thee as spoils of war” (33:50). 4:3 and 4:24 extend this privilege to Muslim men in general.

The Senate can't seem to repeal ObamaCare. Or get much of anything done. But it found time for important matters like this... as Judith Bergman at Gatestone reveals.
