RESEARCH ON HOMOSEXUALS EMERGE FROM SHADOWS

A few salient facts are known about the Americans whose lives might be changed by a Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage expected this summer.

About one in five gay and lesbian couples is raising children under age 18. One in 10 men with a male partner or spouse is a military veteran. As many as 6 million Americans, roughly 2 percent of the population, have a parent who is lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT).

 

Pray that the eyes of understanding of God's laws will enlighten those who are living in the sin of the immoral homosexual lifestyle. Pray that those who advocate such behavior have their eyes open to God's truth while there is yet time.

 

"You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."  
(Lev. 18:22)

 

"I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints." (Ephesians 1:18)



GOODBYE, COLD WAR, HELLO COOL WAR?   
It is nearly a quarter of a century since the Berlin Wall fell, bringing the Cold War to a close. The triumph of liberal democracy briefly seemed to herald "the end of history" before the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, triggered what the Pentagon called GWOT - the global war on terrorism - and a clash of civilizations between the West and militant Islam.


Just over a decade later, this conflict is drawing to a close. Much of al-Qaeda has been dismantled; President Barack Obama has declared that "the tide of war is receding" and it is time to conduct nation-building at home.

 

Pray that the United States will find effective and creative ways to work with foreign governments to minimize the need for escalation of defensive tactics that drain productive deveopment to help its citizens live free, productive, and peaceable lives.  

 

"And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; ... The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them." (Isaiah 11:1-6)

   

OFF THE CLIFF AND INTO THE DEBT TSUNAMI

The vast, mind-boggling numbers used to describe the national debt make it almost impossible to comprehend. Anyone claiming "A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking real money" would be a veritable piker these days: The national debt stands at well over $16 trillion.

To bring home the ugly reality of U.S. indebtedness, consider what would happen if an ordinary American household faced a financial situation as dire as the federal government's.

 

Pray that sound godly economic principles will become the basis for national recovery.

 

"Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it?" (Luke 14:28)

   

FEDERAL REVENUE TO SET RECORD IN 2013       

Federal revenue will return to its pre-recession levels in 2013, according to projections from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), setting a record for the most money the government has ever taken in.

In its latest Budget and Economic Update, the CBO forecasts that federal revenue will top $2.7 trillion in 2013, slightly higher than the $2.6 trillion the government collected in 2007, when the last recession officially began.

Government revenues had fallen by nearly $500 billion during the recession to $2.1 trillion in 2009, contributing to the $1.5 trillion deficit that year. However, federal revenues have been recovering since the recession ended in June 2009, and the CBO now projects that they will slightly eclipse their pre-recession peak
.

 

Pray that in seeking ways to cut our national budget down to size we do not create greater hardship upon families who would be losing their jobs to government cutbacks. Pray that all necessary and productive jobs will be protected from unnecessary cuts.

 

"The Christian who is pure and without fault, from God the Father's point of view, is the one who takes care of orphans and widows, and who remains true to the Lord--not soiled and dirtied by his contacts with the world." (James 1:27)    


ECONOMIC CRISIS "BALKANIZED" GLOBAL FINANCE

The economic crises in the United States and Europe wiped out decades of progress in expanding the world financial system, depressing the flow of investments and loans across borders and potentially setting the stage for an epoch of entrenched low growth, according to a new study on global finance patterns.

The McKinsey Global Institute report combines databases from the International Monetary Fund, global central banks and other sources to try to sum up what has been lost in the aftermath of the 2008 Lehman Bros. failure and subsequent crisis in the euro zone
.

 

Pray for God's righteous intervention in the affairs of government. Pray that He will give government officials wisdom in resolving their mismanagement of sound principles of economics. Pray that the U.S. and her allies will humble themselves and call upon the name of the Lord to save us from needless suffering and economic calamity.

 

"Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share." (1 Timothy 6:17-18) 

        


90% INCREASE IN BREAST CANCER OVER PAST 33 YEARS

The Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer commented on a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association published February 27, 2013. The authors, led by Rebecca Johnson, MD reported that the incidence of advanced breast cancer which, by the time of diagnosis, had already spread to distant locations (i.el bone, brain, lungs, etc.) among women aged 25-39 years had jumped by nearly 90% during a 33 year period. [1]

Noting there are more aggressive breast cancers and low survival rates among young women, researchers said the increases in the incidence of advanced cancers were statistically significant and climbed from 1.53% in 1976 to 2.90% in 2009. That's an increase of 2.07% per year, compounded.

 

Pray that the Obamacare edicts that force supporting of abortion premiums in insurance premiums be deemed unconstitutional, and that the exposure of the direct link of abortion-to-cancer be further exposed.

 

"Truly children are a gift from the Lord; the fruit of the womb is a reward." (Psalm 127:3)

 
      

BIBLE SCIENTIFICALLY ACCURATE BY NASA DISCOVERY        

In 2004 astronomers using NASA's, Spitzer Space Telescope, probed the dusty disks that surround young stars to look for the earliest signs of the formation of planetary systems. What they discovered coincides with Genesis description of Earth's formation.

For generations the statement at Genesis 1:2 "Now the earth proved to be formless and waste," has made no logical sense to Bible scholars or scientist until these revealing discoveries were made.

 

Give thanks to the Lord that His Word is true for all to see. Give praise to the Lord for His wonderful works of creation.

 

"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." (Psalm 19:1)
