147 Christians Massacred by Islamists Terror Group Al-Shabab. Christian Persecution gone Global?

In the constant onslaught of media and information, there are events that we can easily miss, and glance over. Often times, we can become completely unaware of the impact of what is taking place. During this past weekend, 147 Christians were massacred in a school. Their crime: being a Christian. According to CBN, gunmen simply began asking one student after another a simple question: are you a Christian or are you a Muslim? “If you were a Christian, you were shot on the spot.” At the same time, in the nation of Yemen, according to the Christian Post, a man was crucified for the simple act of aiding American military forces. The very fact that he was friendly towards America has caused this repercussion that is sending shockwaves to Christians around the world.

In a brief video from Prager University, we can learn and see clearly as to why the Western Media is not making these horrible atrocities known to the world. In the West, the acts of brutality, outright massacres, and persecutions are not as overt, but there appears to be a gradual chipping away of the Judeo-Christian values and principles that the nation of America is built upon. It is easy to see the boiling water of persecution against the Christians in the world. In the West, is the church the proverbial frog as the heat is gradually being turned up? Amidst the tears that are being shed across the globe, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, David Cameron, shares profound words as he proclaims the UK as a Christian country. These are critical moments for the Body of Christ, in every nation. Hear the full stories about what is taking place, how we must respond, and so much more.

Is it Munich 1938 All over Again? Are we Partnering with Iran for the Destruction of Israel?

Some are familiar with the atrocities that took place at the hands of the German leader Adolf Hitler during World War II. During his reign 60 million people were killed; of those 6 million were Jews. Before his tyrannical leadership, there was a pivotal agreement that was brokered that affected a portion of land: Czechoslovakia Sudetenland. The Czechoslovakians were waiting for France to help defend them. The Soviet Union also had a treaty with Czechoslovakia, and it indicated willingness to cooperate with France and Great Britain if they decided to come to Czechoslovakia’s defense. British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain traveled to Germany with desires ultimately to avoid the war. The offering from Chamberlain to the Czechoslovakians is to either accept the agreement or go to war alone. This deal was the Munich Agreement. Less than a year later, these events did not conclude in the

outcome that Chamberlain had expected. Upon hearing the outcome, Winston Churchill stated, “You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war.” This sequence of events is eerily similar to what is taking place with America, Iran and Israel.

God Belongs in my City: What does this look like if we respond the possibilities are endless

Often times, we can become so overwhelmed with all of the events that are taking place in our generation and in the world. What can one person possibly do in response? Some can say to themselves, “I’m only one person. What can I do?” What does it look like to see just a few people stand up and respond in response to a situation, in their own city? When a few individuals came across a New York City billboard that stated, “A million New Yorkers are good without God….”, their response has not only mobilized hundreds of others to respond in the cause of Christ; but a movement is now spreading across the cities of America and the world. When we see the things that are currently happening in our world, we have the empowerment to ask God what His heart is for the situation and to respond. Here more of the encouraging and exciting stories that others share of their own journey walking throughout their own cities, and so much more.

With all this Technology are Humans Really Smarter Now? What Happens if we can’t Google any more?

It’s nothing new to realize that technology in our culture is a constant evolving reality. What was up-to-date and current 6 months ago is now considered old news. With this increasing presence of technology, and its “abilities”, how does this effect humans and their own knowledge? A recent study sought to answer the question if we as a people really were smarter. Yale University Psychology student ,Matthew Fisher said, “The Internet is such a powerful environment, where you can enter any question, and you basically have access to the world’s knowledge at your fingertips.” Just because we have access to this knowledge does that make us smarter? The world has knowledge and masses of knowledge, but God desires to make revelation of who He is known to us. There is a profound difference. Hear more about the report, the vital differences between knowledge and revelation, and so much more.
