World’s largest active volcano awakens

After being dormant for nearly 40 years, the world’s largest active volcano, Mauna Loa, located on the Big Island in Hawaii, has apparently come to life sending a stream of ash into the atmosphere and darkening the skies. According to the US Geological Survey, it erupted late Sunday night, Nov 28, 2022, bringing with it dozens of earthquakes. Though there have been no reports of lava flows from the eruption, the skies turned amber-red because of the ash. Mauna Loa, which last erupted in 1984, is part of a group of five volcanos, located on the largely rural Big Island of Hawaii. The last time it erupted, its lava flows reached within five miles of the city of Hilo. The mention of the sky turning red is reminiscent of the Prophet Joel’s warning of columns of smoke, the iconic symbol of volcanos, that would bring with them fire, blood (death), a red moon and darkened sun. 30 “And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. …

Sermon at the University of Cambridge said Jesus had a ‘trans body’?

Church parishioners were left in tears after a sermon by a junior research fellow at the University of Cambridge in the UK on Sunday, Nov 20, 2022, implied that Jesus had a trans body. Joshua Heath came to this conclusion based on 13th and 14th-century paintings, composed centuries after Christ’s crucifixion. According to Heath, in a painting found in a 14th century Prayer Book, Bonne of Luxembourg, the wound in Jesus’ side, put there by a Roman guard checking to see if Jesus was dead, looked like a woman’s sex organ. He then pointed to another painting by Jean Malouel in the 13th century that had the blood from Jesus’ side trickling down to the Lord’s groin. Heath suggested that these paintings intimated Jesus had a trans body. As the sermon was being delivered shouts of ‘heresy’ could be heard coming from the Anglican church congregation as people showed their disgust about the homily. After the service, a member of the congregation wrote to Dr. Michael Banner, the Dean of Trinity College, who was also …

Portland: ‘The city is in peril’

Rains PDX, a Portland clothing door, recently closed its doors permanently. But along with that, the store manager posted a dramatic message on its door entitled “Our City is in Peril,” to explain the closure, Fox News reports. In its letter, the store said it was due to the 15 break-ins in the last year and half and the city’s unwillingness to deal with the city’s rampant crime rate. KATU2 provided the contents of the letter: “Our city is in peril. Small businesses (and large) cannot sustain doing business, in our city’s current state. We have no protection, or recourse, against the criminal behavior that goes unpunished. Do not be fooled into thinking that insurance companies cover losses. We have sustained 15 break-ins … we have not received any financial reimbursement since the 3rd.”  The city’s woke government, that saw its mayor get tear-gassed when he participated in the BLM riots that struck the city in 2021, along with their soft-on crime DAs has resulted in criminals being released the same day they are charged.

Chinese people take to streets demanding an end to lockdowns

People are taking to the streets across Communist China protesting the government’s heavy-handed approach to COVID lockdowns. The protests are being led by university students, the Daily Mail reports. The Chinese Communist Party, CCP, has instituted a zero tolerance policy, where one report case of COVID can result in oppressive lockdowns. As protests surge across the country, there were calls for ‘freedom’ and ‘democracy’ and as well calls for the resignation of CCP tyrant, Xi Jinping. The Daily Mail provides more details: Footage shared on social media appears to show police attacking anti-lockdown protesters who had been arrested and put on buses in Shanghai, on a third day of unrest in the world’s most populous nation. […] The witness also described students holding up blank pieces of paper, a symbolic protest against censorship. Demonstrations have erupted in at least seven cities – including Shanghai, Nanjing and Guangzhou – with violence breaking out between local cops and furious protesters. Footage circulated on social media showed crowds tearing down metal fences and barricades as they grappled with security officers who deployed …

Splitting churches: That LGBTQ Issue

A very large split is happening in some churches, these days. You might have heard of the United Methodist Church, a very large denomination with many churches, and their arguments about sexual identity. One of the largest Christian communities in the world is falling apart. This morning I went for a walk with some neighbors and someone remembered me from many years ago. I asked him where we met, and he named my old family church. He still recognized me, after all these years. We talked, and he explained that he lived near us, with his husband. I tried to avoid an awkward pause in the conversation. At our church, a lady that we know was talking to some of us, including a pastor. She talked about her life, and what was happening to her. One issue was that she had recently broken up with her girlfriend. That was awkward. You probably have similar stories. So, with Gay, Trans, LGBTQ or any identification; what should we do? There are other issues, like abortion, and the …

Tim Allen says his new Santa series will emphasize a religious aspect of Christmas

In a recent interview with The Wrap, Hollywood actor Tim Allen, 69, who will be starring in Disney Plus’s The Santa Clauses, says the six-part series will be focusing on the religious aspects of Christmas. Allen stated the original script was emphasizing otherworldly things such as ghosts and goblins, but after Allen’s insistence has since decided it will focus on the real St. Nicholas, who was the historic figure on which modern Santa Claus is based. “I said no, this is Christ-mas. It’s Christ-mas. It literally is a religious holiday,” Allen said in the interview. “We don’t have to blow trumpets, but I do want you to acknowledge it. That’s what this is about. If you want to get into Santa Claus, you’re gonna have to go back to history, and it’s all about religion.” That part of the story will not be developed until the final two shows of the series. St Nicholas was the Bishop of Myra (270 AD to 340 AD), who became famous for the miracles attributed to his prayers and …

The UK still giving foreign aid to the Chinese Communist Party

Communist China has a space agency and has developed nuclear weapons. It is also the world’s second-largest economy and yet, according to the country’s budget documents, the United Kingdom still sent £51.7 million ($62.68 US) in foreign aid to China in 2021, the Daily Mail reports. Not unexpectedly, this news has shocked British taxpayers. Though 2021 assistance is down from what the UK gave the communist regime in 2019, ten years ago, the UK was only providing £27.2 million ($32.98 million US) in foreign assistance to the communist regime. READ: Britain still gives mega-rich China £51.7million in foreign aid despite promises to end the handouts While it’s uncertain what the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) actually spent the money on, perhaps it was used it to fund the illegal police stations the CCP has set up across the UK.

Klaus Schwab calls Communist China a role model for the world

In an interview with a Chinese media outlet, run by the Chinese Communist Party, Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF), declared Communist China to be a ‘role model’ for the ‘world of tomorrow.’ He went so far as to suggest that some countries should embrace China’s totalitarian communism. Timcast.com provides more information on Schwab’s comments. Schwab said he respected China’s “achievements,” referring to them as “tremendous.” “I think [China is] a role model for many countries,” the WEF founder continued, He conceded, however, it should be up to each country to adopt their own economic system. “We should be very careful in imposing systems,” he concluded. “But the Chinese model is certainly a very attractive model for quite a number of countries.” READ: Klaus Schwab: China Is ‘Role Model’ for ‘World Of Tomorrow’ Schwab lavished praise on the communist regime that enslaves Muslims and restricts religious freedoms, freedom of the press and personal freedoms through its abusive Social Credit system.

Religious leaders condemn Canada’s euthanasia laws

In an interview with Fox News, religious leaders in Canada are condemning the country’s euthanasia laws which are among the most expansive in the world. Since, the program, which goes by the acronym MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying), was introduced in 2016, the provisions have been gradually loosened each year. In 2023, the rules will be expanded allowing those who are experiencing mental illness to apply for medically assisted suicide and to even give doctors permission to suggest it as an option for their patients. In an interview with Fox News, Vancouver’s Roman Catholic Archbishop, J. Michael Miller called the law ‘morally depraved’ adding: “In six years, Canada has gone from totally banning euthanasia to one of the most permissive euthanasia regimes in the world. And even more access could be coming, including allowing ‘mature minors’ to request it.” RELATED: Canadian religious leaders speak out as country set to allow euthanasia for mental illness The loosening of Canada’s medically assisted suicide laws Breitbart provides more details on the gradual loosening of the rules for medically …

Supernatural Patience and Endurance

By Rick Renner

Here is an important fact to know about the apostolic ministry: God didn’t leave it to us to guess who is a true apostle and who is not! I’m thankful for that! In Second Corinthians 12:12 the apostle Paul wrote by the Holy Spirit about the signs that will help us discern correctly whether an apostle is in our midst. He said, “Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.”
