Chick-Fil-A Supports Biblical Definition Of Family - Good For Them!

Dan Cathy, President of Chick-Fil-A

Genesis 2:24

King James Version (KJV)

²⁴ Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Chick-Fil-A is a long time Christian based fast food company based in Atlanta, Georgia. They have been wildly successful and very up-front about their Christian principles. They have never opened their restaurants on Sunday and have consistently supported moral principles and various charitable causes. Now they are supporting the Biblical definition of "family". Good for them!
We don't have to "attack" any interest group or position. It's not necessary to bash the gay lifestyle in order to make your point. We just need to support our positions. It seems though that we have reached a point in history where we can't support our position if it doesn't meet the criteria of the liberal controlled media. Cathy says the company will "stay the course" with their pro-family positions. He also points out that he and the rest of the company leadership are married to their "first wives".
You might find Mr. Cathy's positions to be antiquated and narrow. I find their positions to be refreshing and they offer me some comfort knowing that the whole world has not dropped off into hell, yet. The Bible says that we would reach perilous times in the last days when men get right and wrong mixed up.

Isaiah 5:20

King James Version (KJV)

²⁰ Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

There is intense media pressure to cast God and His Word aside and let the baser elements of human depravity control our society. The presence of the Holy Spirit and the effect of God's Word on this wicked world are the only things that have held this mess together. Soon this world will not be bothered with either and men will reap the consequences of their twisted desires. The only hope for a world that takes offense at Chick-Fil-A is a trusting faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. I urge you to come to Him today and take of the Water of Life freely.

In the meantime, if you are a Bible believing Christian I encourage you to stop in at your local Chick-Fil-A and make them a regular part of your lunch plans. A company that holds to a moral core deserves our business! 

Ben Bernanke Speech Today Was Gloomy - What Lies Ahead?

Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, offered a gloomy outlook for the US economy but the Federal Reserve chairman offered no hint of further monetary easing in testimony to Congress. The Drudge Report had a headline pertaining to his speech today and it was entitled "Gloomy". The phony fiat currency and debt based economy has simply begun to run out of steam the Fed has run out of bullets. Bernanke warned that the 8.2 % unemployment rate is unlikely to change anytime soon because the economic growth will be "frustratingly slow".
Mr. Bernanke uses terms like "soft recession"in describing our current predicament. The truth of the matter is we are in a "soft depression". According to the U6 unemployment rate in May of this year the number is a shocking 14.6%! Mr. Bernanke sited the fiscal problems of the U.S. and the declining Euro  as worrisome factors in his perception of our economic future.If you are interested in the real state of our economy then visit www.shadowstats.com, this site shows an amazing assortment of "true" information. If you have been living in the matrix and only gathering information from Brian Williams at 5:30 p.m. then this blog post may be upsetting. The truth is it really is gloomy.This editorial by Joe Scarborough on the Politico site was written in May of this year and is evidence, even from the left that we are indeed living in dismal financial times.

 The reality of worldwide economic chaos and bizarre events in nature force us to do one thing that is very important. We must evaluate where our hope lies. Where does your hope lie? Is it your bank account, stock portfolio, job, position of power, pursuit of pleasure or some other Earthly attraction? To survive the days ahead we must have an anchor for our souls. Our hope must be in the Lord, Maker of Heaven and Earth.

1 John 3:2-4

King James Version (KJV)

² Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. ³ And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. ⁴ Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.    Those words penned by St. John centuries ago give us the basis of the hope that believers can have even when everything else is falling apart. One day Jesus Christ will return. On that glorious day the Bible tells us that when believers see Him they will be instantly transformed into a new body and a new home. We will be like Him! Believers in Christ are unique in that we believe at any time we could be transported from this world of sorrow and despair into the instantaneous bliss of being in the very presence of God. That conviction is our hope! That kind of hope endures tough times and keeps our perspective on an eternal plane.  Have you trusted in what Christ did on the cross 2000 years ago? Do you believe it was sufficient payment for you sins? Trust Jesus today as your Savior. It is a simple, child-like faith and reliance in His provision to forgive you and give you eternal life. What lies ahead for the U.S. economy and the world as a whole? I don't know but I do have hope! 

Russian Ships In Mediterranean May Be Fulfilling Ancient Bible Prophecy

At this moment two Russian Navy ships have entered in the eastern Mediterranean and are steaming toward a Russian Navy base at Tarsus, Syria. These ships are advance units of a flotilla of 11 warships. The flotilla consists of one destroyer, five amphibious landing ships, two patrol frigates, two rescue tugs, and one tanker. Most of the ships are carrying units of Russian Marines. This movement of ships and troops represents the largest military move in this region by Russia in nearly 20 years. 
It is also being reported today that the U.S. Navy has deployed two more carriers to the region to bolster an already massive force.  The significance of these events cannot be overstated.
Centuries ago two Bible prophets gave details of events that may be unfolding before our eyes. In Ezekiel 38 the prophet told of a mighty nation to the north of Israel coming down into the region. In 38:8 the time is identified as the latter years. Two of the chief cities of this nation are identified as Mesheck and Tubal (Moscow and Tubalsk). When they make their move on Israel the Bible says that God in His Holy jealousy for Israel will devastate the invading armies and kill 5 out of ever 6 invaders. In ch. 39 it tells us the carnage will be so dramatic that it will take 7 months to bury the dead! Daniel the prophet gives another detail about this time period. 

Daniel 11:40

King James Version (KJV)

⁴⁰ And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.

We could very possibly be living in the time frame described by these Hebrew prophets. When you consider all the other events taking place at the same time it causes one to examine the state of the world and the state of their own soul. The following events continue to escalate alarmingly...mass animal deaths, increase in earthquakes, increase in volcanoes, increase in solar storms, record high temperatures, 56% of America in severe drought, collapsing economies worldwide, UFO sightings, strange signs in the sky and the approaching massive war in the middle east that will one day culminate in Armageddon. 

I've been accused of being an alarmist and spending too much time on prophetic studies. I really don't care what people think about my perception of the current events. I would rather be sounding the alarm than to be asleep in Zion.   Dear reader are you ready for the days ahead? Are you prepared to face God? Take a look at the video in the righside bar.
