In Monday's Dallas Morning News newspaper there was a front-page article about how the members of First Baptist Church of Dallas, TX, one of the nation's largest Baptist churches, had pledged $115 million to renovate their facilities. This incensed me that they would spend so much money on making themselves more comfortable when so many people are hurting financially right now. I wrote the following e-mail to the newspaper on Monday.
"So First Baptist Church of Dallas is raising $115 million to remodel their buildings. What an abomination to God! In the midst of the worst economy since the Great Depression, when so many people are out of work and in need of help, when so many people are hurting, instead of making a greater effort to reach out and help these people and the poor, FBC Dallas is gathering a record amount of money to revamp their property! How self-centered! What pride! What arrogance! What greed! What a complete abomination to God they are!
Oh yes, I know, they'll say that the leaders prayed about it and felt that it was God's leading to do this. Let me ask them this: "Would God approve of wasting so much money on yourselves when there are so many hurting people out there? Would God sanction such self-centeredness, such self-indulgence, such pride?" Oh, I know FBC gives money to different charities. Well, just think how much more good you could do with $115 million, instead of spending it on yourselves.
Acts 17:24,25 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that He is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelling not in temples made with hands; 25 Neither is He worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing He giveth to all life, and breath, and all things.
This is what the paper published on Wednesday.

The time has come for us to take a stand against the greed, self-centerness, arrogance and lukewarm/cold hearts that fill the churches today. We can be silent no longer!

America's Burial
Back in February I wrote about "America's Funeral" after I had been listening to the song "America The Beautiful" played by the Andre Rieu Orchestra. Last night I was listening to the same album and again listened to "America The Beautiful". This time I was struck by it as a slow, step-by-step tempo of the burial of this nation.
When we hear that the Lord's wrath will descend upon us and we will be destroyed "in one day", we think in human terms, while God thinks in His terms. "My ways are not your ways, and My thoughts are not your thoughts." "A day to the Lord is like a thousand years". In this case "in one day" means step-by-step over several years of our time, catastrophe after catastrophe after catastophe after catastrophe. The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was the beginning, the floods in Nashville were another step, the tornadoes in Oklahoma another step. These steps of destruction will continue one after another after another after another. It is my opinion that they will continue unabated, without letup.
When will it all end? - "Isa 16:13 - This is the word the LORD has already spoken concerning the USA. 14 But now the LORD says: "Within three years, as a servant bound by contract would count them, Moab's splendor and all her many people will be despised, and her survivors will be very few and feeble". Does that mean that these catastrophes will stop then? No, it simply means that within three years this nation will cease to exist as we now know it. The nation's splendor will be gone and there will be few survivors.
That is how close we are to the end, people. The next few years are going to be extremely hard for everyone, especially for those who do not know the Lord. But they will also be extremely difficult for those who think they are Christians, but who daily chase after the things of this world. Again, I call upon the Christians in this nation to repent and turn your eyes to the Lord, for He is the only one who you will be able to trust in the coming days. He is the only one who will able to lead you in the coming days. Turn off the idiot boxes and turn to the Lord in prayer, fasting and reading the Bible - that is the only way you will have the strength to endure to the end. Only he that endures to the end will be saved.

A Harbinger Of Things To Come
In my first post on here "The Destruction of the USA", I wrote about the solar storms that were predicted by scientists to hit the earth in 2011-2012, with the USA being devastated by them (this part being from the Lord). I also posted another article about solar storms several months later.
Here is the link to an article about a satellite hit by a solar storm and the results of that. http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/05/03/intense-solar-storm-spins-satellite-control/?test=latestnews
When the major storms hit this nation, the majority of our satellites will be blinded and/or destroyed. Notice, I said nothing about Russian or Chinese satellites being destroyed - God controls even the solar storms. We will be completely blinded and defenseless when this happens. That is when the Russians will hit us with nuclear weapons and demand our surrender. That is also when our proud, conceited, arrogant and egotistical President will be completely humiliated - when he bows his knees in surrender to the Russians.

The Darkness Has Begun
As always the Lord does things the opposite of the way man thinks He is going to do them. Instead of the darkness beginning from above the earth, the darkness has started flowing from beneath the earth. The recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexco did not come from the north either, instead it came from the south. Man has his ideas of how God is going to do things, God has different ideas. "For My ways are not your ways and My thoughts are not your thoughts."
In my recent message "Light Into The Darkness" I said "We've done what we can and, thank the Lord, some have listened. But the time is at hand when the warnings will cease. The time is at hand when great calamity upon calamity upon calamity will be poured out upon this nation and its people, the Lord's wrath will no longer be delayed". His wrath has begun. The time for warnings has passed.
This oil spill is going to be worse than anyone can imagine, it is going to be absolutely catastrophic. The economic, ecological and environmental damage from this are going to be unbelieveable. It is going to destroy one of the greatest fisheries in the world. Not only will fish be destroyed by this, but also crabs, shrimp, oysters, birds and countless other types of wildlife that inhabit the Gulf Coast. When it hits the beaches in Mississippi, Alabama and Florida it will destroy the tourism industry in those regions. Businesses will close and people will lose their jobs. Prices of seafood will skyrocket. Inflation will begin in ways that we never expected. Hyperinflation is just a step away.
Yesterday the Obamination said ""Your government will do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, to stop this crisis." What he forgot is that "If calamity come upon a city (or nation) is it not I who sent it, says the Lord". No one, not even this nation's government and all its resources can stay the hand of the Lord.
