The rate at which a full on persecution of Christianity in America is being prepared is on the increase. World Net Daily reports that a San Diego pastor is being threatened with fines for holding Bible studies in his home. Here is how things work. Instead of outright banning of something like Bible studies in your home, the government demands an expensive permit process to go on.

There is no doubt that for many, it is the supreme value.

This nasty virus, we are told, might lead to a pandemic - the spread of a disease which could kill MILLIONS - maybe TENS of MILLIONS of people.

One of the end-time signs that Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24 was "plagues", or "pestilences".

There's a subtle trap in much of Christianity today, and it is as old as book of James. We've got a lot of emphasis on turning up for meetings, but not a lot of emphasis on checking whether people are ACTUALLY DOING what the Word of God says. Going to lots of meetings is NOT a substitute for doing the things that God commands - and there are a lot of them that can only be done OUTSIDE of church meetings.

It is sometimes necessary for those who wish to boldly proclaim the truth to have work or business activities that support the main business of serving Jesus and His Kingdom interests. In my case that has been necessary. It is not that we've not had financial help over the years - we have, but generally, if it comes to a choice between using gifts to support ourselves and using gifts to reach more people, we'd rather expand the ministry.

Is this the change you really voted for? President Obama has only been in office for two months. Now we have HR 1388. The Bill was sponsored by Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) with 37 others. The Bill was introduced to the floor of the House of Representatives where both Republicans and Democrats voted 321-105 in favor.

Here are the words of Basilea Schlink on this issue:

Preparation starts today!

1. Every time difficulties and impossible situations arise now, I will believe in the omnipotence of God and His fatherly aid. I will not give place to worry, but completely trust in the Father's tender, loving care, for He never gives me more than I can bear and always has ways and means to help. Then by the time persecution breaks out, I shall be 'practiced in faith' so that I can experience His aid.
