THINK ABOUT IT

This is the message coming from the pulpits of churches across the nations. Some call it prosperity gospels. According to Wikipedia.org, Prosperity theology (sometimes referred to as the prosperity gospel , the health and wealth gospel , or the gospel of success) [ A ] is a Christian religious doctrine that financial blessing is the will of God for Christians, and that faith, positive speech, and donations to Christian ministries will increase one's material wealth. But this message is not only unbiblical, but it is satanic . Worldly prosperity as God's blessing This type of message is contrary to the revealed will of God. For the Bible says in John 2:15-17 15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For everything in the world--the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does--comes not from the Father but from the world.

While all of these churches may seem similar since they all believe that our savior is Jesus Christ, the Bible is the word of God, the Holy Spirit guides us, and that we have a future waiting for us after death, they also have different beliefs regarding each subject. The doctrines behind these subjects are sensitive and differ among all of these denominati

On Wednesday  January 7, two masked men entered into the office of Charlie Hebdo in a rampage. By the time the whole episode was over, 3 days had passed and 20 people died including three gunmen. While we sympathize with the victims, we fear that the ones who truly benefit from this carnage are the proponents of the global totalitarian surveillance system. Already the British spy agency MI5 is already requesting more powers to fight against terrorism. Governments know that when people are afraid, they will easily hand over their liberties in the name of freedom, so they will not let a good opportunity to pass by. According to yahoo news , " after laying out the threats, Parker  the head of the MI5 made a fresh call for more powers for the security services -- an issue that is of ongoing and heated debate in Britain, as elsewhere. "My sharpest concern as director general of MI5 is the growing gap between the increasingly challenging threat and the decreasingly availabil
