News from the Dark Regions

[fzappa13]

I was thinking of Syria last night too and all the innocents caught in this meat grinder. I would that it were not so but I fear such things must needs be. I suspect we too will see some of this before it is all said and done if we are heading into what I think we are. This is just the beginning. But, know that God is able to deliver His in the same manner that you noted.

Hello all.

I was watching the CBS Evening News last night and they showed the story in the first link. The man in the video couldn't finish what he was saying because he began weeping.

It's always too much for me to see a grown man cry...I cried with him and for him.

Because I am no genius I want you to tell me if these things are all right:

I have asked God for a miracle for this town and Damascus.

He rained manna and quail on Israel when they fled Egypt (many carrying their idols with them); I have asked Him to do the same for Madaya.

He fed John the Baptist with locusts and wild honey. I have asked Him to send locusts to Madaya.

He sent ravens to feed Elijah. I have asked Him to send ravens to feed Madaya.

Ask, seek, knock.

I asked Him these things because these people are begging the world for help and the only way I know to help is to pray and we serve a good God who said, "if you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much MORE will your heavenly Father give to those who ask?"

In keeping with this whole line of prayer I asked for big things for North Korea and Haiti.

(E. M. Bounds said to "ask BIG.")

Please pray with me for this world. Please.

And then there's the "pray without ceasing."

Even if i prayed without ceasing I still wouldn't have time to pray for all the people/places/things that need praying for.

Free Theology Course on the Topic of Abortion

Free Theology Course on the Topic of Abortion

A ray of light in the dark regions of abortion:

"This Friday marks the 43rd anniversary of the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. In light of this, Ligonier Connect has just released R.C. Sproul's important series on the difficult subject of abortion and made it permanently free for anyone to enroll and study.

Abortion is such a deeply divisive issue because fundamental moral issues are at stake. In this course, Dr. Sproul moves beyond the shouting matches in order to examine the issue calmly and rationally. With clarity and compassion, he explains why abortion is a violation of God's purposes for His creation."

Nero burned Christians under the same rationale: "inciting hatred."

Are you lame?

Abortion is the ultimate failure to accept responsibility for your actions.

"Vigilant Solutions, one of the country’s largest brokers of vehicle surveillance technology, is offering a h*** of a deal to law enforcement agencies in Texas: a whole suite of automated license plate reader (ALPR) equipment and access to the company’s massive databases and analytical tools—and it won’t cost the agency a dime."

Coming soon to a state near you.

Of course, this may have some real use for state governments, as in...

Pro-Lifer group president had to abort her child to achieve her dreams...

"I’m Ilyse Hogue. I’m the president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, which I might not be if I hadn’t had access to a legal abortion twenty years ago when I got pregnant due to a contraception failure."

"I believe that if a woman has been raped, that is a pregnancy that she should be able to terminate. If she is a victim of incest, this is not a woman’s choice, this is a woman being violated," - Gov. Chris Christie

From the comments on the page below:

Rebecca Kiessling, who was conceived in rape, was flabbergasted that Christie defended abrotions that could have claimed her life...

"Children like me ‪#‎conceivedinrape‬ are really taking a beating tonight! Who will defend us?” she asked. “What message does that send? Such discrimination would never be tolerated with any other people group!"

Apple's 1984 commercial come full circle with the former's Big Brother (David Graham) now played by Facebook's Zuckeberg as a foreshadowing of the dystopian future:
View attachment 23388

http://www.theverge.com/2016/2/22/11087890/mark-zuckerberg-mwc-picture-future-samsung

I can almost hear Zuckerberg chanting the commercial's original screed:

"Today, we celebrate the first glorious anniversary of the Information Purification Directives. We have created, for the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology—where each worker may bloom, secure from the pests purveying contradictory truths. Our Unification of Thoughts is more powerful a weapon than any fleet or army on earth. We are one people, with one will, one resolve, one cause. Our enemies shall talk themselves to death, and we will bury them with their own confusion. We shall prevail!"

Sigh.

If you are talking to an electronic device about your personal problems, you may just have other problems that need to be dealt with beforehand...

What does a smartphone say when you tell it you were raped, want to commit suicide, feel depressed or are being abused...
