Please count me in as one who cares; NOT a Sheeple. Pray for our President. He's as good as we can get, but the arm-twisting and good 'le boy pressures to go along must be stupendous.

Nations and civilizations will rise and fall, but the real horror is when "even the elect are deceived."

Beware of false prophets everywhere, even, and especially, in the church.

Pray for the Good News to find fertile ground in China, so that the light will influence the darkness in China.

Pray that the light won't go out in America.

let not your heart be troubled. Satan will have his new world order, but Jesus will have His first: Matthew 24:14 is set like a lighthouse in the middle of some very dark verses.  "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."

My theory here is that the 'witness' to all nations is the demonstration of the Holy Sprit and power.

When we see the manifestations of God's presence across the world, when we see Israel embrace her Messiah, when we see EVERY SHRED OF MANMADE CIVILIZATION AND RELIGION SHAKEN TO THE CORE,(has it already started?) and the church flowing in peace and strength, look up. Our redemption draws nigh.

The Democrats and the Republicans are on the same side.   Bush continues Clinton Agenda.   Here are the good old boys!

We started singing...  Bye Bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

>Nations and civilizations will rise and fall, but the real horror is when "even the elect are deceived."

The elect are not deceived.  If one is deceived, then that one is not one of the elect.  Jesus said most would be deceived and warned to beware of deception more than anything.

Mt 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

>Beware of false prophets everywhere, even, and especially, in the church.  Pray for the Good News to find fertile ground in China, so that the light will influence the darkness in China.  Pray that the light won't go out in America.

Beware of deception by the elected!  China's intent is not to receive the gospel but to fire their missiles at the America.  The light has already gone out in America.
