New Way to Help Christians Start Businesses Overseas with Small Loans: Finally--a Christian KIVA. See their site here. This is brilliant and so needed--especially for Christians who lose their families and livelihood when they leave one religion to follow Jesus.
Children's Items Needed for Chinese Quake Victims: Have a new or used Christian DVD, CD or children's book/SS materials that you would to send to the children who lost everything in the August 2008 earthquake in China? About one million people are still living in tents as a result of that. I'll be working with a group serving that region for 5 weeks, starting this March. We can carry some in in our luggage. You can send a note to them that we will translate if you wish. We need to collect these items next week. I leave March 15th.
Muslim Terrorists Hate America for Not Living As Christians: They see America as defiling the world with immorality and secularism. They are often right. "Christian" America and "Christian" Europe is polluting the world with movies and music filled with ungodly values and images ( for the love of money)--practices that the American Church largely ignores. See attached statement by an expert on Islam. Only deep repentance and revival in the American Church can bring healing to our land and move God's hand to protect us from terrorist attacks that God may be allowing to bring us back to Him as a Church and nation. ( 2 Chron 7:13-14). Note verse 13. (Thanks to Mike Green for the attachment) Click here for details.
Darwinian Evolution: Enemy of the Bible, Friend of Atheism: The Theory of Evolution is the most powerful scientific argument against belief in God. Every atheistic, communist regime in the world has loved it. Hitler loved it. It is taught as indisputable fact in our public high schools, public colleges and other government- run educational facilities. Educators who dare to disagree are ostracized or disciplined by many public institutions. Scientists are not always right, as you might guess. One Noble Prize winning scientist, James Watson, co-discoverer of the double helix of DNA in 1962--says "A goodly number of scientists are not only narrow-minded and dull but also just stupid." Some honest scientists--even evolutionists-- will admit that Darwinian evolution as a theory as significant problems in current science. Science knows too much now to blindly accept evolution as the only way to explain the origin of life in all its complexities. The fossil record is supposed to be one of the major proofs of the Theory of Darwinian Evolution. However, well-known evolutionist Dr. Stephen Jay Gould now says, " The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as a trade secret of paleontology." ( From Pandas and People). In addition, our current knowledge of cellular mechanics is so astounding that another evolutionist, the other co-winner of the same Nobel Prize for biology in 1962, Dr. Francis Crick, has abandoned pure evolutionary theory and now guesses that life on earth must have begun when aliens deliberating planted DNA material on earth ages ago. He calls this Panspermia. To read more of this interesting theory by one of the world's great scientists, see http://www.iscid.org/encyclopedia/Panspermia
The Church needs to take this theory on and show that there is very credible science that challenges the Darwinian theory of evolution. Left unchallenged, this dubious theory will lead many other people to embrace atheism, as it in fact did to the esteemed Dr. Crick who was raised by Christian parents. See his own testimony of this here.
I dare you to watch two videos twice ( there's a lot to digest) and not be gravely concerned about how our children and youth are being taught a philosophy and a worldview that is scientifically suspect and theologically wrong. Watch "Expelled" by Ben Stein and Segment 5 of the Truth Project on evolution. Christian schools could be debating public schools on this. Every church should educate its parents and children in the scientific truth about intelligent design. Every fact of science about the origin and diversity of life fits a creationist model. Most scientists today simply do not want to deal with a spiritual or unknown cause for such things. 500 years ago, it was the opposite. The world's greatest scientists believed in God for hundreds of years.
If evolution is succeeding in deceiving our nation's and our church's children not to believe in the scriptures and in God, it is our fault--the fault of the Church. Only our prayers and the bold proclamation of the truth, scientific and biblical, can stop this insidious worldview from corrupting our nation even more.

Proposition 8 in California May Be Reversed on March 5. : Prop 8 defined marriage exclusively between a man and a woman. But, the gay community immediately sued California stating that Prop 8 is unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court of the state of California will hear oral arguments and decide whether to overthrow Prop 8 as being unconstitutional or to establish Prop 8 as law in California. It will take place on March 5, 2009. The justices to hear the case are: Chief Justice Ronald George, and Associate Justices Carlos Moreno, Joyce Kennard, Kathryn Mickle Werdegar, Ming Chin, Marvin Baxter and Carol Corrigan. At this writing we believe the hearing will take place at the courthouse at 350 McAllister St., San Francisco, CA 94102-4797. To confirm this, call the court's clerk at 415-865-7000. Given the location (San Francisco) we can assume that a large number of the homosexual community will be present. Some Christians will want to join together to pray outside the courthouse.
