CHRISTIANS AND THE WORLD​
​We will be persecuted ...

Picture
Jesus said, “I have manifested Thy name unto the men which
Thou gavest Me out of the world: Thine they were, and
Thou gavest them Me; and they have kept Thy word.” (John 17:6)


8-16-17, John Morris, PhD -- In the wonderful intercessory prayer of Christ for His disciples just before His death, there are several important references dealing with the relation of the Christian
believer to the world around him. In the first place, according to our text, they have been called out of the world and thus are not really a part of its system any more once they belong to Christ. Yet, they necessarily must still live in the world.

“These are in the world. . . . I pray not that Thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldest keep them from the evil” (vv. 11, 15). I have given them Thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world” (v. 14).

Like Christ, they are bound to be hated by the world. 
Nevertheless, Christ has sent them into the world as His witnesses. “As Thou hast sent Me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world . . . that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me. . . .” (vv. 18, 21).

Picture
And the most wonderful thing about all these relationships to the world we live in is that God planned them even before He created the world!

“Father, I will that they also, whom Thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold My glory, which Thou hast given Me: for Thou lovedst Me before the foundation of the world” (v. 24).

The Wonder of the Universe
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. God said, Let there be light: and there was light. God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness." Genesis 1:1-4

8-14-17, Stedman [1] --  Someone has said that this Genesis Chapter One scripture is the beginning of true science, because a fundamental part of the task of science is to observe and classify all that can be observed in the makeup of the world of nature. 

One of the marvels of God's Word [the Holy Bible] is that it's language communicates with all people; those of the most primitive and limited understanding as well as those most erudite learned scholars. It addresses itself with equal ease to all classes of humanity. It was the Bible that first said:
  • The number of stars is beyond computation. It declares that God stretched out the heavens (Isaiah 51:13) into limitless expanse that can never be measured and filled it with stars that are as numerous as the sands upon the seashore (Genesis 22:17). 
  • In Job chapter 26 the earth is suspended over nothing (cf. Job 26:7). In that poetic way it describes the mysterious force of gravity.
Science finally recognized that all matter is made up of invisible energy and that matter and energy are interchangeable and modern science has now established what the Bible says about the heavens to be true.  [1]

US MEDIA: Extravagantly Criticizes Pres Trump

8/14/2017

 
Picture

President Trump Did Not Target Only One Side of the TWO Sided Mayhem in Virginia - But the Media is Accustomed to Obama's Style to Quickly CHOOSE Sides and attack before all facts are in! 

8-13-17, On Sunday, Vice President Mike Pence criticized the media for its coverage of President Donald Trump’s remarks regarding the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia:

"
I take issue with the fact that many in the national media spent more time criticizing the president’s words than they did criticizing those that perpetrated the violence to begin with. We should be putting the attention where it belongs, and that is on those extremist groups that need to be pushed out of the public debate entirely and discredited for the hate groups and dangerous fringe groups that they are.”

In his Saturday statement President Trump condemned the violence but made it clear he blamed all involved in the violence; he said:

“We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides ... on many sides. It's been going on for a long, long time in our country -- not Donald Trump -- not Barack Obama. It has no place in America."

To most of the mainstream media, 'Antifa' group are ‘anti-racists’ yet they are fascists themselves because they oppose the right of conservatives to speak.

The primary three issues are preserving history against this censorship and revisionism -- this political correctness. The second issue is being allowed to advocate for your interests as a white person, just like other groups are allowed to advocate for their interests politically. And finally, this is about free speech. We are simply trying to express ourselves and do a demonstration, and the local government has tried to shut us down."

China to No Korea: We Won't Help You!

China will stay neutral if No Korea FIRST strikes USA; however, if the US or So Korea Strikes first, China will defend current leadership regime.
​Trump Threatens Trade War

8-11-17 Daily Wire --  China has delivered an ultimatum to North Korea: If they hit the United States, they're on their own. 

The state-run Global Times wrote in an editorial, "China should also make clear that if North Korea launches missiles that threaten US soil first and the US retaliates, China will stay neutral." 

However, should the U.S. and South Korea strike North Korea first, then "China will prevent them from" implementing regime change in North Korea.


Former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton, China fears "millions of refugees" flowing into the country should the Kim regime be destroyed. "They can work with us or face the inevitable consequences." Bolton believes there is a way for the U.S. to leverage China into supporting a reunified Korea: tell them to either support it or else the U.S. will launch a pre-emptive strike, which will cause all of China's fears about the Kim regime falling to come true. More here

All the Fountains of the Deep
“In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.” (Genesis 7:11)

Picture
8-11-17, John D. Morris, Ph.D.-- Our text describes the primary physical causes for the Flood of Noah’s day, as well as the primary sources for the vast waters which covered the earth. The first source is very interesting from a geological point of view, and to grasp some semblance of its meaning is necessary if we would understand the Flood.
​
As the “deep” in Scripture usually refers to the ocean (i.e., Genesis 1:2), so the “great deep” that was “broken up” evidently speaks of great subterranean reservoirs or chambers deep inside the earth, all of which spewed forth their contents at the same time. This breakup continued all over the earth for 150 days (see Genesis 7:11; 7:24; 8:2).

The reference to “broken up” merits attention, for it implies a wrenching of the earth’s crust, a great tectonic event. The same word is used in Numbers 16:30-33 to describe the supernatural opening up of a great pit into which the rebellious Korah and his followers and their families fell, thereby squelching their mutiny against Moses’ leadership.

Picture
Any such breaching of the earth’s crust results in earthquakes, and if occurring under water results in devastating tidal waves now called 'tsunamis' traveling through the water at speeds approaching the speed of sound. Continued pulsation of these fountains all over the earth for 150 days would totally restructure the surface of the earth.

Clearly this  demonstrates God’s hatred for the sin of the antediluvian world. Coupled with the other factors involved in the Flood, it is no wonder that “the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished” Noah preached 120 years .. the people just scoffed and only eight people and the animals were saved. 1 Peter 3:20
Picture
Jonah 2:10 And the LORD commanded the big fish ... and it vomited Jonah onto dry land. ... and it spewed Jonah onto the dry land. Jonah hated the people he preached repentance to ... yet they believed anyway.

Abiding Fruit
“Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in My name, he may give it you.” John 15:16

8-10-17, Dr Henry Morris, PhD -- Every true born again Christian desires to be a fruit-bearing Christian, not one who is “barren” and “unfruitful” (2 Peter 1:8). He or she also earnestly desires that the fruit—whether that of a godly character (Galatians 5:22-23) or that of others won to Christ (Romans 1:13)—will not wither but remain strong and healthy before the Lord.
 
The promise of Christ in our text is that our fruit will remain, if He has chosen us and we go forth praying in His name and seeking sincerely to bear fruit for His name’s sake. It is significant that the Greek word translated “remain” (that is, meno) is also commonly translated “abide,” as well as “continue.” In fact, it occurs no less than 12 times in John 15:4-16, the last being in our text verse above.
Picture
Our Children are important "Fruit"
IF we obey the Lord we will bear fruit!

Jesus said, “If ye continue in My word, then are ye my disciples indeed” (John 8:31). “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you” (John 15:7).
 
Note the progression. He says, “Abide in Me, and I in you” (v. 4). This means He says that “My words abide in you,” and also we are to “continue in My love,” which implies that “ye keep My commandments.” It follows, then, that as we “continue” in His Word, we shall “bring forth fruit” that will “remain!”

 8-10-17, The media is going berserk trying to blame President Trump for North Korea's overt behaviors threatening the USA with nukes - BUT how was this crazed Kim Jong-Un able to acquire them in the first place? 

It was President Bill Clinton who cleared the way for the DPRK [North Korea] to go nuclear. See Video from October 1995 when President Clinton explained how much safer the world will be with this deal with North Korea HERE

Under Barack Obama and during Kim Jong-Un's five years in power, he has overseen three times as many missile launches [no outcry, nothing done by the Obama regime therefore - the wicked kept on going full steam ahead!] as his father did during his eighteen-year reign.

 The better a nation can defend itself, the more likely it is that no one will want to risk going against them and that results in more peacetime. [So it's only fair that North Korea and Iran also have these weapons! Except for their diabolical ideology!--Ed.]

Is God’s Judgment Coming on America?

Picture
"The sun will be turned to darkness…before the
coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord." 
Joel 2:31
 
8-7-17, Anne Graham Lotz -- A few years ago I was teaching through the book of Joel when the ancient words of his prophecy came up off the page. I knew with hair-raising certainty that God’s severe judgment was coming on America! I have taught Joel several times since.  Each time has served to confirm with deep conviction that God is warning America of impending disaster and destruction.
 
In light of Ezekiel 33:1-6 that commands a watchman to be faithful to warn others of the danger coming against the land, I feel compelled to issue the warning once again.
 
I believe the warning is triggered by the total solar eclipse of August 21, 2017, nicknamed America’s Eclipse. For the first time in almost 100 years, a total solar eclipse will be seen from coast to coast in our nation.  People are preparing to mark this significant event with viewing parties at exclusive prime sites. The celebratory nature regarding the eclipse brings to my mind the Babylonian King Belshazzar who threw a drunken feast the night the Medes and Persians crept under the city gate.  While Belshazzar and his friends partied, they were oblivious to the impending danger.  Belshazzar wound up dead the next day, and the Babylonian empire was destroyed.

Picture
Picture
Jewish rabbi’s have historically viewed solar eclipses as warnings from God to Gentile nations. Therefore, my perspective on the upcoming phenomenon is not celebratory. While no one can know for sure if judgment is coming on America, it does seem that God is signaling us about something; time will tell what that something is.
I can almost hear the tears in Joel’s voice as he pleads for us to repent and return to God, because who knows? He may return and have pity and leave behind a blessing. (Joel 2:13-14)

Regardless of whether or not the conjecture regarding America’s Eclipse is accurate, we know our nation and our world is in turmoil. Without doubt this is the time for God’s people to get right with God.  To repent of our own sin. To share the Gospel with our neighbors. And to pray that in the midst of His coming wrath, God would remember
​mercy (Habakkuk 3:2).

For the glory of His great name, Anne

Is College Worth It? Walter Wms

University Degree Not for All Students:
Only 25 percent of students who took the ACT in 2012 met the test's readiness benchmarks in English, Reading, Math and Science; only 5% of black, 13% of Hispanic met the readiness benchmarks in all four subjects.  
***
Many High School Students Accepted Are

"not able to perform at even an eighth- or ninth-grade level"

Picture
8-8-17, FrontPage, Dr. Walter Williams -- August is the month when parents bid farewell to not only their college-bound youngsters, but also a sizable chunk of cash for tuition. More than 18 million students attend our more than 4,300 degree-granting institutions. A question parents, their college-bound youngsters and taxpayers should ask: Is college worth it? Let's look at some of the numbers. ​

Picture
According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, "when considering all first-time undergraduates, studies have found anywhere from 28 percent to 40 percent of students enroll in at least one remedial course. When looking at only community college students, several studies have found remediation rates surpassing 50 percent." Only 25 percent of students who took the ACT in 2012 met the test's readiness benchmarks in all four subjects (English, reading, math and science). Just 5 percent of black students and 13 percent of Hispanic students met the readiness benchmarks in all four subjects. The NCSL report says, "A U.S. Department of Education study found that 58 percent of students who do not require remediation earn a bachelor's degree, compared to only 17 percent of students enrolled in remedial reading and 27 percent of students enrolled in remedial math."

Picture
Picture
The fact of business is that colleges admit a far greater number of students than those who test as being college-ready. Why should students be admitted to college when they are not capable of academic performance at the college level? Admitting such students gets the nation's high schools off the hook. The nation's high schools can continue to deliver grossly fraudulent education — namely, issue diplomas that attest that students can read, write and compute at a 12th-grade level when they may not be able to perform at even an eighth- or ninth-grade level.

You say, "Hold it, Williams. No college would admit a student who couldn't perform at an eighth- or ninth-grade level." During a recent University of North Carolina scandal, a learning specialist hired to help athletes found that during the period from 2004 to 2012, 60 percent of the 183 members of the football and basketball teams read between fourth- and eighth-grade levels. About 10 percent read below a third-grade level. These were students with high-school diplomas and admitted to UNC. And it's not likely that UNC is the only university engaging in such gross fraud.


Picture
Picture
Many students who manage to graduate don't have a lot to show for their time and money. New York University professor Richard Arum, co-author of "Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses," says that his study shows that more than a third of students showed no improvement in critical thinking skills after four years at a university. That observation is confirmed by the many employers who complain that lots of recent graduates cannot seem to write an email that will not embarrass the company.

​In 1970, only 11 percent of adult Americans held college degrees. These degree holders were viewed as the nation's best and brightest. Today, over 30 percent hold college degrees, with a significant portion of these graduates not demonstrably smarter or more disciplined than the average American.  [Most universities espouse liberal socialistic views and some ban any conservative values like UC Berkeley in California that had a violent riot.--Ed.]

Declining academic standards [admissions often focus on ethnicity & race] and grade inflation tend to confirm employer perceptions that college degrees say little about job readiness.
What happens to many of these
​ill-prepared college graduates?

If they manage to become employed in the first place, their employment has little to do with their degree. One estimate is that 1 in 3 college graduates have a job historically performed by those with a high-school diploma or the equivalent.

In 2012 according to a professor of economics at Ohio University and the director of the Center for College Affordability and Productivity, Richard Vedder said that graduates with bachelor degrees, we had:
  • 115,000 janitors
  • 16,000 parking lot attendants
  • 83,000 bartenders
  • 35,000 taxi drivers 
There is absolutely no shame in a youngster graduating from high school and learning a trade.  [Graduates from tech schools learning a vocational 'trade' are almost guaranteed of a job.--Ed.] Doing so might earn him much more money than many of his peers who attend college. The bottom line is that college is not for everyone. Source
