Henry Kissinger says: “The president-elect is coming into office at a moment when there is upheaval in many parts of the world simultaneously… … “You have India, Pakistan; you have the jihadist movement. So he can’t really say there is one problem, that it’s the most important one. But he can give new impetus to American foreign policy partly because the reception of him is so extraordinary around the world. His task will be to develop an overall strategy for America in this period when, really, a new world order can be created . It’s a great opportunity, it isn’t just a crisis.” “… According to Henry Kissinger, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and former secretary of state under President Nixon, conflicts across the globe and an international respect for Barack Obama have created the perfect setting for establishment of “a New World Order.” In 1989 President Bush said “A new partne...

FAITH UNDER FIRE Going rate to kill pastor: $250 Rewards offered for murdering Christians, destroying homes, churches By Chelsea Schilling © 2008 WorldNetDaily Hindu extremist groups are offering money, food and alcohol to anyone who murders Christians and destroys their homes. The violence is nothing new in Orissa, India, where India's Communist Party estimates that more than 500 Christians have been killed by Hindu mobs in Orissa since late August, 12 times more than official government claims of only 40 homicides. But now the stakes are even higher – and pastors have a bounty on their heads. Faiz Rahman, chairman of Good News India, said Hindu militants are targeting Christian leaders, the Christian Post reported. "The going price to kill a pastor is $250," he said. Rahman, a head of several orphanages in Orissa State, said he's helped 25 pastors to leave refugee camps, but 250 Christian leaders are still in shelters. "All of the pa...

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” Ephesians 5:11-16 KJV 11And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them . 12For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. 13But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for what...

Gospel for Asia missionary Vinay Ganpati is still facing threats months after an anti-Christian mob attacked his church in Tamil Nadu, India. The attack happened after a local woman, believed to be a goddess, blamed two deaths on the Christian community. After the attack on the church building and congregation, one of the anti-Christians died in an accident. This caused people to further blame the Christians, and there were threats of more violence. On September 26, a group approached Pastor Vinay and told him to vacate the church and stop all activities by October 10. Vinay tried his best to reason with the group, explaining the land was lawfully owned by the church and that he couldn’t leave so suddenly. “The extremists were not ready to listen to him and again warned him to vacate by the deadline or face dire consequences,” GFA’s correspondent wrote. “Vinay seems very worried.” Vinay and his leaders plan to file a complaint with the pol...

By Michael Ireland Chief Correspondent, ASSIST News Service IRAN (ANS) — Two Christians from Muslim backgrounds were officially charged with apostasy last week at the Public and Revolutionary Court in Shiraz, Iran, raising fears for their continued well-being. Capital punishment for apostasy is not codified in Iranian law,  Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) explained in a media advisory. According to the Bill of Indictment obtained by Farsi Christian News Network (FCNN), the prosecutor requested the death penalty for 53 year old Mahmoud Mohammad Matin-Azad and 40 year old Arash Ahmad-Ali Basirat by evoking the judge’s constitutional obligations to refer to Shari’a law, and by citing Imam Khomeini’s book, Tahrir-ul-Vasile, which stipulates the death penalty for apostasy. CSW said that as Mr Matin-Azad and Mr Basirat, who have been detained since May 15, await a verdict, another Iranian Christian, Ramtin Soodmand, has been held without formal charge since August 21, 2008. Mr....

This post is to draw your attention to the serious Persecutions that our fellow Christians are going through in India. I have been worried for sometime now that almost everyone even the governments of the world are keeping quiet while these savage attacks are being meted out to our fellow  Christians all over the world.  we cannot sit back and do nothing brothers and Sister, there is something we can do and that is, call on Our Father in  Heaven to help us out in this case. I actually saw a Man threaten Christians on TV with death, if they don't denounce Christ and Christianity and it is so terrible and painful to see the horrific pictures and evil being perpetuated by these evil people on  Our Christian Brethren. So I am calling for Christians to Pray for India, I beg you to please take out time in your day to do this at least until the violence and maiming of the Children of God stops in India and elsewhere in the World. Here is a little summary of the events...

This is so sad , yet it is also a message to us Christians that while some of us are busy with getting wealth and stuff , Others are dying daily  through the serious "persecution business" working/thriving in certain regions of the Earth today. This is a sad  News report  coming out of Saudi Arabia . . . John August 14th, 2008 Christian , Muslim , Persecution , Saudi Arabia Israel Today reports that a young girl in Saudi Arabia was brutally executed by her Muslim father this week after he learned his daughter had converted to Christianity. Middle East business news website Zawya.com reported that the man, who is a prominent member of a “virtue committee,” first cut out his daughter’s tongue and held a one-sided religious debate with her. He then burned his daughter alive. Observant Muslims hold that their Prophet Mohammed taught that Muslims who convert to any other religion must be killed, often in extremely brutal fashion. THINK ON THIS Matthew 10:28-42 28...

This is getting out of hand nowadays you cannot mention the Name of Christ without being called - out on it, yesterday my husband visited  Skynews website and was so interested in commenting on the Antigua Murder poll but all that excitement was short-lived  because he was not only disappointed after he had commented and his comment was submitted for verification but for his comment to be refused after he was told to wait  for a while. Why  . . . because he mentioned Jesus Name. . . Oh the Name of Jesus made them reject His comment! (What a Wicked World)   In case you want to know what his comment was like, here it is . . . Very sad incident, what a wicked world . . .  too much guns. . . too much knives and people willing to use them. JESUS HAVE MERCY!!! Their reply . . . Sorry your comment cannot be sent.

Anuj Chopra, Chronicle Foreign Service Friday, June 27, 2008 (06-27) 04:00 PDT Tehran --   Illyas, 20, precariously straddles two worlds. At home, he's a devout Christian who wears a silver cross around his neck, reads the Bible and sings hymns praising Jesus Christ. In public, he is a pious Muslim who attends regular mosque prayers. Illyas and his parents - they asked a reporter not to mention the family name to ensure their safety - had been practicing Muslims until they watched a religious television program beamed by satellite from Reseda (Los Angeles County). At that time last year, Illyas's mother called a hot line number of Iran for Christ Ministries, prayed with a counselor and soon accepted Jesus Christ as her savior. Illyas and his stepfather quickly followed. Islam is the state religion of Iran - 98 percent of the nation's 66 million inhabitants are Muslims - and Islam has governed most aspects of life since the 1979 Islamic revolution that toppled the Shah o...

Matt 10:32"Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. 33But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven. Two Students—One Not Even a Christian—Wanting to Make People Smile, Place Statue of Jesus in their School by Teresa Neumann : May 29, 2008 : Staff - AP Jesus statue prompts controversy "Most people were smiling when they saw it." (Bristol, Vermont)—A class at Mount Abraham Union High School was recently required to read a play called, "The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail," about Henry David Thoreau's refusal to pay taxes over what he said was the U.S. "immoral" war in Mexico. As a way of illustrating what they had learned, students Torin Olivetti and Galen Helms erected a small, 2-ft. statue of Jesus in the school claiming that the school was being hypocritical "on the issue of separation of church and state" (since it already had a mur...
