The Roman Catholic Church is the largest organization in the world, yet the Vatican has never revealed its net worth. The value of its works of art, great churches, properties, and stocks runs into tens of billions of dollars. Author Jason Berry tells Ian Punnett what happens to the money dropped in the collection basket on Sunday mornings.
There is a whole bunch of research that actually says that prayer… is an extremely powerful healing mechanism; that when you send somebody prayer — and they compare people who get prayer versus those who don’t — that the ones who get prayer do better. If that’s any indication, it certainly worked in my case, because I’m actually feeling pretty good.

“There is a whole bunch of research that actually says that prayer, as we’ve talked about on the program in the past, that prayer is an extremely powerful healing mechanism; that when you send somebody prayer — and they compare people who get prayer versus those who don’t — that the ones who get prayer do better. If that’s any indication, it certainly worked in my case, because I’m actually feeling pretty good.”
Katherine’s producer, Ray Masters, has asked that her listeners of faith join in prayer with Psalm 91.
Psalms 91
[1] He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High,
who abides in the shadow of the Almighty,
[2] will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.”
[3] For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence;
[4] he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
[5] You will not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
[6] nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
[7] A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand;
but it will not come near you.
[8] You will only look with your eyes
and see the recompense of the wicked.
[9] Because you have made the LORD your refuge,
the Most High your habitation,
[10] no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.
[11] For he will give his angels charge of you
to guard you in all your ways.
[12] On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you dash your foot against a stone.
[13] You will tread on the lion and the adder,
the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.
[14] Because he cleaves to me in love, I will deliver him;
I will protect him, because he knows my name.
[15] When he calls to me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will rescue him and honor him.
[16] With long life I will satisfy him,
and show him my salvation.

This is a song by Chuck Girard that was originally released in 1979.
Think of all the hate there is in Red China
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama!
Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space,
but when you return, it’s the same old place,
the poundin’ of the drums, the pride and disgrace,
you can bury your dead, but don’t leave a trace,
hate your next-door-neighbour, but don’t forget to say grace,
and you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend,
you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction.

I added the word alleged, because Osama almost certainly died almost 10 years ago. Type in “Osama” into my search engine at ToBeFree if you’re interested as to how sure it’s been that we’ve been told the truth about this supposedly wonderful event.
And did you know that Osama bin Laden wasn’t even wanted by the FBI for 9/11, because there wasn’t enough evidence?
Osama even said he did not do it.
The only video in which he said he did was certainly not him saying it, but an Osama with a wider nose, wider face….
There are so many lies and deceptions today, but even if Osama did have something to do with 9/11, and that the planes really did take down the towers (which they could not have — which I prove at ToBeFree), and that 9/11 was not really an inside job blamed on Osama to justify the subsequent wars and police state mandates, and that Osama really was just now killed, not a look-a-like, and then the body was dumped into the ocean because of Islamic law, which is not really Islamic law or tradition — then what should the real Christian response be?

Gaga, playing Mary Magdalene, is attracted to Judas’ ways. She not only “converts” to his side but also effectively brings Jesus down. This attraction to the “dark side” is summed up in these simple words:
I wanna love you,
But something’s pulling me away from you
Jesus is my virtue,
Judas is the demon I cling to
(Matthew 7:13, 14 NKJV)

“Enter by the narrow gate;

Almighty God,
The Great I Am
Immoveable Rock,
Omnipotent powerful
Awesome Lord,
Victorious Warrior
Commanding King of Kings
Mighty Conquerer,
And the only time,
the only time I ever saw Him run
Was when
He ran to me,
Took me in His arms, held my head to His chest
And said “My son’s come home again”.
Looked in my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice
He said “Son, do you know I still love you?”
It caught me by surprise when God ran
The day I left Home,
I knew I’d broken His heart …

Animation Showing How the Canon 10D and 24-85mm Lens are Assembled
This animation was created by students of the Engineering 128: Advanced Engineering Design Graphics course at UC Berkeley during the Spring 2008 semester. The first part shows a Canon 10D DSLR exploding into its individual parts, and then those parts coming together again to slowly rebuild the camera, while the second part does the same for a Canon 24-85mm lens. Pretty…impressive considering that it’s for an undergraduate course.

Yet because it’s written about so often in Scripture, I think God does want it on the forefront.”

FRANCIS CHAN from his book “Crazy Love,”
emphasis mostly mine
—
The Engrossed
Jesus didn’t pull the greatest command out of nowhere. He hearkened all the way back to the days of Moses, when God says to His people,
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts, Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the door-frames of your houses and on your gates.
—Deuteronomy 6:4–9
In Moses’ time, the heart was understood to be the seat of a person’s emotions, the very center of his being, the place where decisions are made. The soul was considered the basis for a person’s traits and qualities, or his personality. Strength refers to physical, mental, and spiritual strength.
So within this command to love God with “all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength,” every fiber of humanity is addressed. Our goal as people who follow Christ should be no less than becoming people who are madly in love with God.

I brought this over from ToBeFree.
Alex Jones is a talk show host trying to wake up people to tyranny being brought upon US by the globalists. He sees what is going on with ‘Christians’ too, who have been key supporters of globalist candidates like President George W. Bush, who have thrashed our country and the Constitution, just like Obama is doing.
The unbiblical pre-trib rapture doctrine is one of the main psyop ways Satan is able to convince ‘Christians’ that they don’t really have to follow Christ. Thus, America is falling fast, and it won’t be pretty for anyone.
The ‘Christians’ won’t get taken out before things get really bad.
I put ‘Christians’ in quotes, because most really aren’t, biblically. Most ‘Christians’ wouldn’t go even if there was a pre-trib rapture. See: Who-Goes-To-Heaven Scriptures — Narrow is the Way | Who are the Children of God?

Harold Camping proclaims the rapture will happen on May 21, 2011. He say’s if you don’t believe “his” prediction with all your heart, then you will be left behind to face the wrath of God.
Moreover, according to the Jewish tradition of that day, the betrothal was a common form of wedding. In this tradition we see that the “FATHER” of the bridegroom was the only one who knew at what time he would send out the BRIDEGROOM (Jesus) his son to take the BRIDE (true church/saints) to live with Him.
So Jesus was giving a parable of His return and applying it in an applicable context to the culture of that day.
What a wonderful God!
Yes, Christ is coming back, but he doesn’t reveal the date of his coming because even he doesn’t know, only the Father knows the exact timing when to send back his Son to catch up the saints.
Please watch out for these false prophets, there will be plenty more as the real day approaches.

We can now see that this obsession with safety, which Francis Chan shows here is reverse-Christianity, is how they’re able to bring US into a police state — as most American ‘Christians’ are willing to allow even their daughters’ naked bodies to be seen by TSA screeners; though, the chances of being killed by a terrorist is less than being killed by a bee sting.

Excerpt from Crazy Love by Francis Chan, page 133 (original formatting)
Risk Takers
Haven’t we all prayed the following prayer? Lord, we pray for safety as we travel. We ask that no one gets hurt on this trip. Please keep everyone safe until we return, and bring us back safely. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen. The exact wording may vary a bit, but that is the standard prayer we recite before leaving on mission trips, retreats, vacations, and business trips.
We are consumed by safety. Obsessed with it, actually. Now, I’m not saying it is wrong to pray for God’s protection, but I am questioning how we’ve made safety our highest priority. We’ve elevated safety to the neglect of whatever God’s best is, whatever would bring God the most glory, or whatever would accomplish His purposes in our lives and in the world.
Would you be willing to pray this prayer? God, bring me closer to You during this trip, whatever it takes….
