Lets hope God will give other chances.I think racist, businessmen mob, foreign gov mobs?,the occult have tried to cause a lot of trouble and still will try to continue.over a 1000 in each state?Watchout for tricksters. scamsters. Some gov agree with occult laws or beleifs.Lets serve the rapture lets hop me a prophet gets money and moves to serve the rapture.Churches do not have helpfull outreach. Seems like always asking for money. Supposed to serve GOd at church(if on track) not businesses. That is truth. and if the church is on track. Lets pray for the men know that standing for christian beleifs changes life. amen. That the women know that dedicated following God is greater than decent living or wealth and or parties.Life in God trustworhthy friends, kids, safety, everlasting relationship!!, day. amen!

Another passing that should be noted is Ralph Winter on May 20th. He certainly was a giant in the missions movement. We should keep his family in our prayers, and should also remember the above leaders in their significant transitions. May God continue to raise up men and women after His own heart to serve His purposes in this generation.

When I first became a Christian, my father gave me a book of Pat Robertson's, which I found inspiring. I later discovered the truth about the anti-Christian doctrine of Pharisaic Zionism which is totally questionable in every way - it's violent war-making racism, it's manipulationsim within the context of US politics and particularly Congress, it's non-miraculous violent creation of a state on someone else's property supported by the 'liberal' (zionist-owned) media in the US, the absurdity of believing that the New Jerusalem will be based on an anti-Christian state. Jesus totally condemned the Pharisees. John Hagee, Tim La Haye and, unfortunately, Pat Robertson are amongst those who have chosen to lead their sheep after the Pharisaic goats.
