Democrat: Obama's grandma confirms Kenyan birth
'This has been a real sham he's pulled off for the last 20 months'

The Pennsylvania Democrat who has sued Sen. Barack Obama demanding he prove his American citizenship – and therefore qualification to run for president – has confirmed he has a recording of a telephone call from the senator's paternal grandmother confirming his birth in Kenya.
The issue of Obama's birthplace, which he states is Honolulu in 1961, has been raised enough times that his campaign website has posted an image purporting to be of his "Certification of Live Birth" from Hawaii.
But Philip J. Berg, a former deputy attorney general for Pennsylvania, told the Michael Savage talk radio program tonight that the document is forged and that he has a tape recording he will soon release.
"This has been a real sham he's pulled off for the last 20 months," Berg told Savage. "I'll release it [the tape] in a day or two, affidavits from her talking to a certain person. I heard the tape. She was speaking [to someone] here in the United States."
He said the telephone call was from Obama's paternal grandmother affirming she "was in the delivery room in Kenya when he was born Aug. 4, 1961."
Berg said he's pursuing the issue because of "the most important document in the United States," the U.S. Constitution.
"Nothing is more important than enforcing the Constitution," he said. "The Constitution's provisions are very small for qualifying for president. One, be over 35, and he is. Two, be in the country 14 years, and he has been. Three, be a natural-born citizen. He is not."

Pastor charged with felony for spanking son...
Pastor charged with felony for spanking son
Posted: October 25, 2008

A Wisconsin pastor has been charged with felony physical abuse of a child after he spanked his 12-year-old son for lying and a teacher notified social services.
Barry W. Barnett Jr., 43, of Poynette, Wis., is free on a $10,000 bond, but he could face up to three years in prison and fines for disciplining his son, the local Portage Daily Register reported.
At the pastor's hearing, Barnett's son said his father was right to spank him .
"He gave me a chance to tell him the truth, and I just kept lying to him," the boy said.
The boy said his father gave him two "swats" that "hurt a little" on his rear end in June. He told authorities both he and his dad cried while he was disciplined.
The 12-year-old said he was warned he might receive a spanking if he continued to act up and that he understands what he did was wrong.
"You should not lie to your parents and you should not go to places (where you are not allowed)," he said.
One of his siblings mentioned the spanking to a teacher, who called social services, according to the report.
A June 7 report from the Divine Savior Healthcare emergency department indicated that the boy had slight bruising on his buttocks, but it said there was no swelling and he was not experiencing pain. The medical paperwork said the boy told physicians he didn't think he was abused and he loves his father.
The documents show the boy's doctor does not believe he was abused, and he called the event a "social services fiasco."

Who should you vote for? Which President is more likely to follow what the Bible teaches?
I have a strong stance on this issue.
Maybe it is too strong and offensive, but yet we still have freedom of speech (although many Democratic Liberals are trying to remove that right...as long as it concerns Conservative / Christian Talk Show's, Media, Blogs, etc.) and this is my blog, so I will state it anyways and if you don't like it...TOO BAD, get your own blog!
Here goes...
If you are a Christian. A true Christian. By definition, I am talking about someone who has devoted his/her life to following Jesus (our Lord & Savior) and trusting in Him alone for eternal life. Because of His shed blood, His death, burial, and resurrection... by God's mercy and grace in allowing us to have This free gift...
I am talking about the few left in this Country that truly "believe" in Him...which in context does not just mean to Know of Him, but to KNOW HIM, to Follow & Obey Him & His Word...The Bible.
And don't get me wrong...we all struggle with sin, but those of us that still know sin is sin, and sin is WRONG, and should not be allowed, or glorified. Those out there that do repent and strive to Obey God's Word even after falling flat on our faces. Those people and the ones that just claim to be a Christian ... LISTEN UP!
Still with me here?
If... IF you claim this...
Then HOW can you vote for someone that supported and supports laws for murdering / killing innocent babies. HOW can you vote for someone that supports HOMOSEXUAL Marriage.
These two alone... These two facts alone, not even touching on all the other dumb ideas Obama has, like government ran health care, & the fact that he wants more laws to ban guns from law abiding citizens, profit re-distribution, etc.
Those first two facts alone make it impossible for a true mature Christian (by definition) to vote for Obama.
WOW...yes, I am almost saying that you CAN NOT be a Christian and vote for Obama.
Maybe, just maybe you could be a new Christian, a baby Christian. A new convert that has been, or can be easily brain-washed by liberal media such as NBC, MSNBC, CNN, etc.
However, if your main reason for supporting Obama is his terrible idea for the economy. IF that is your main concern... our economy. If that is what you care about most... money in your wallets/purses, and having for yourself, pleasing your-self, rather than pleasing, obeying, living for, and TRUSTING in God to provide for you what you and your family NEEDS, then you may want to question if your "Christian walk" is true.
If you would rather vote for someone you THINK has a better plan for the economy, but yet his beliefs are CLEARLY contradicting what the Bible teaches... then my friend, you may want to take a deep look at yourself and determine who or what you are living for.
Everything is God's. Your money, food, health, family, job, cars, house, etc. = ALL GOD'S...not yours.
So don't you think that if you and our Country REPENTS, and turns back to serving God, and obeying His Word, and begging for forgiveness in Jesus alone.
Don't you think that if we say you know what, it is WRONG to be homosexual, so NO, I will not change God's created definition of Marriage that is between 1 man and 1 woman, and vote in someone who wants to change Marriage to allow HOMOSEXUALS to marry, and BABIES to be KILLED.
(Allowing that to happen would be an even greater sin.)
So don't you think that if we as a Nation cry out to God, repent, and turn back to following and trusting in Him alone through Jesus Christ, and then maybe... just Maybe He will again pour out blessings on our Country and our economy?
But even if He does not bless us or our economy, we still need to trust, follow and obey Him, because He alone is God, and the ONLY way to eternal life.
And that my friend, is worth more than anything this Earth, or the Best Economies can offer!

An associate editor of the campus newspaper at Massachusetts' Smith College has joined the chorus attributing to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama messianic characteristics, but she has gone one step further, calling Obama her "Jesus."
"Obama is my homeboy. And I'm not saying that because he's black – I'm saying that in reference to those Urban Outfitters T-shirts from a couple years ago that said, 'Jesus is my homeboy.' Yes, I just said it. Obama is my Jesus," wrote Maggie Mertens in the Smithsophian's commentary section recently under the headline: "I Will Follow Him: Obama As My Personal Jesus."
Biblical News Note: "More like Anti-Christ..."
"While you may be overtly religious and find this to be idol-worshipping, or may be overtly politically correct and just know that everything in that sentence could be found offensive, I'm afraid it's true anyway," she wrote.

JERUSALEM – Sen. Barack Obama is a Muslim of Kenyan origins who studied in Islamic schools and whose campaign may have been financed by people in the Islamic and African worlds, Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi said during a recent televised national rally.
"There are elections in America now. Along came a black citizen of Kenyan African origins, a Muslim, who had studied in an Islamic school in Indonesia. His name is Obama," said Gadhafi in little-noticed remarks he made at a rally marking the anniversary of the 1986 U.S. air raid on his country.
The remarks, translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, MEMRI, were aired on Al Jazeera in June.
The video also has been posted on YouTube and can be seen here.
"All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa applauded this man," continued Gadhafi. "They welcomed him and prayed for him and for his success, and they may have even been involved in legitimate contribution campaigns to enable him to win the American presidency.
"We are hoping that this black man will take pride in his African and Islamic identity, and in his faith, and that [he will know] that he has rights in America, and that he will change America from evil to good, and that America will establish relations that will serve it well with other peoples, especially the Arabs," Gadhafi said.

Iran ready to strike at Israel’s nuclear heart
From The Sunday TimesJune 29, 2008
Iran ready to strike at Israel’s nuclear heart
Uzi Mahnaimi in Tel Aviv
Iran has moved ballistic missiles into launch positions, with Israel’s Dimona nuclear plant among the possible targets, defence sources said last week.
The movement of Shahab-3B missiles, which have an estimated range of more than 1,250 miles, followed a large-scale exercise earlier this month in which the Israeli air force flew en masse over the Mediterranean in an apparent rehearsal for a threatened attack on Iran’s nuclear installations. Israel believes Iran’s nuclear programme is aimed at acquiring nuclear weapons.
The sources said Iran was preparing to retaliate for any onslaught by firing missiles at Dimona, where Israel’s own nuclear weapons are believed to be made.
Major-General Mohammad Jafari, the commander of the Revolutionary Guard, told a Tehran daily: “This country [Israel] is completely within the range of the Islamic Republic’s missiles. Our missile power and capability are such that the Zionist regime – despite all its abilities – cannot confront it.”
An editorial in a government newspaper, Jomhouri Eslami, said: “Our response will hit right at their temple.”
The sabre-rattling coincided with a visit to Israel yesterday by the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Michael Mullen, for talks with his Israeli opposite number, Lieutenant-General Gabi Ashkenazi. This intensified speculation that Israel was seeking US approval for a possible attack on Iran.
“Although the visit had been planned well in advance, we got the feeling he was coming to make sure we’ll obey the strict timetable agreed with the US,” said an Israeli defence source. He refused to elaborate.
President George Bush has approved the linking of Israel to a US infrared satellite detection system that could spot Shahab missile launches within seconds.
This should enable the Israeli air force to destroy such missiles in the booster stage. The system will also give the Israelis about 15 minutes to seek shelter before any warhead hits.

Iran has already on numerous occasions made it clear that they are not only seeking Nuclear Missles/Weapons, but also will use them against Israel and the USA ASAP!
We need to be in full support of Israel at all costs, and back them against these terrorists! Israel, or the USA should attack them first...its a no brainer!
The problem herin lies with the fact that as crazy as this sounds, Israel will somehow be blamed for this by most the World, which is just insane! This may occur possible by oil getting destroyed, or some other yet to be determined reason that is simply a lie to the real truth. That real reason? It's Biblical. The Jews are God's chosen people...it is by a Jew (Jesus) that we can be saved. It was the Jews first, that the Word of God was given to. Then the Gentiles....
The enemy (ultimately Satan) wants Israel destroyed, along with Christians and Jews. We are just too "politically correct" (wimpy or just plain dumb) to stop these terrorists and not care what the World thinks. We must take a stand for Truth and Freedom.

Cult? Obama Supporters Take His Name as Their Own
Obama Supporters Take His Name as Their Own

Emily Nordling has never met a Muslim, at least not to her knowledge. But this spring, Ms. Nordling, a 19-year-old student from Fort Thomas, Ky., gave herself a new middle name on Facebook.com, mimicking her boyfriend and shocking her father.
“Emily Hussein Nordling,” her entry now reads.
With her decision, she joined a growing band of supporters of Senator Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, who are expressing solidarity with him by informally adopting his middle name.
The result is a group of unlikely-sounding Husseins: Jewish and Catholic, Hispanic and Asian and Italian-American, from Jaime Hussein Alvarez of Washington, D.C., to Kelly Hussein Crowley of Norman, Okla., to Sarah Beth Hussein Frumkin of Chicago.
Jeff Strabone of Brooklyn now signs credit card receipts with his newly assumed middle name, while Dan O’Maley of Washington, D.C., jiggered his e-mail account so his name would appear as “D. Hussein O’Maley.” Alex Enderle made the switch online along with several other Obama volunteers from Columbus, Ohio, and now friends greet him that way in person, too.
Mr. Obama is a Christian, not a Muslim. Hussein is a family name inherited from a Kenyan father he barely knew, who was born a Muslim and died an atheist. But the name has become a political liability. Some critics on cable television talk shows dwell on it, while others, on blogs or in e-mail messages, use it to falsely assert that Mr. Obama is a Muslim or, more fantastically, a terrorist.
“I am sick of Republicans pronouncing Barack Obama’s name like it was some sort of cuss word,” Mr. Strabone wrote in a manifesto titled “We Are All Hussein” that he posted on his own blog and on dailykos.com.
So like the residents of Billings, Mont., who reacted to a series of anti-Semitic incidents in 1993 with a townwide display of menorahs in their front windows, these supporters are brandishing the name themselves.
“My name is such a vanilla, white-girl American name,” said Ashley Holmes of Indianapolis, who changed her name online “to show how little meaning ‘Hussein’ really has.”
The movement is hardly a mass one, and it has taken place mostly online, the digital equivalent of wearing a button with a clever, attention-getting message. A search revealed hundreds of participants across the country, along with a YouTube video and bumper stickers promoting the idea. Legally changing names is too much hassle, participants say, so they use “Hussein” on Facebook and in blog posts and comments on sites like nytimes.com, dailykos.com and mybarackobama.com, the campaign’s networking site.

I have two things to say...
1) Barack Obama is not a Christian. At least not by the definition of "Christian" which means follower of Jesus and His Word. Why you ask?
Simple.
He is not only Pro-Choice (Pro-Death of babies), but also in favor of Partial Birth Abortions, and if that does not work, killing them as they are coming out of the womb (or, being born). You may possibly be deceived into thinking this way at first becoming or prior to being a Christian, but once you are truly a Christian (not just a title), there is no way you can be in favor of this act which is clearly against the Bible. See the following Link for what the Bible clearly teaches about Abortion... http://www.livingwaters.com/witnessingtool/whatGodswordsaysaboutabortion.shtml
He is also in support of Homosexual Marriage, which is clearly a Sin/Abomination and against what God's Word teaches.
2) Liberalism is clearly a Mental Disorder!

JAFFA, Israel – A blog posting on Sen. Barack Obama's official campaign site urges Americans to take action to secure the release of imprisoned terrorist fundraiser Sami Al-Arian, comparing the controversial former professor to Martin Luther King and
Malcolm X.
The posting is just a sampling of a large volume of racist, anti-Semitic and pro-Palestinian rhetoric published on the user-friendly MyObama community blog pages. The Obama campaign does not monitor all blog material, which is posted by registered users, but says it removes offending posts that are brought to the attention of the administrators.
In a blog post on Obama's site titled, "We are all Palestinians," user Ulf Erlingsson laments what he calls the "harsh" conditions of Al-Arian's imprisonment – explaining he "lives in segregation … is not allowed any visitors and is given only two phone calls a month."
The posting quotes Agha Saeed, chair of the American Muslim Taskforce on Civil Rights and Elections, comparing Al-Arian to King and Malcom X, who "symbolized the struggle for human rights in the fifties and sixties. Dr. Sami Al-Arian has come to symbolize the current struggle for human rights."
Al-Arian is also labeled an "internationally recognized political prisoner."
Obama's site readers are called upon to "take urgent action. Just 3 phone calls and 1 E-mail to make a difference."

JAFFA, Israel – A blog posting on Sen. Barack Obama's official campaign site urges Americans to take action to secure the release of imprisoned terrorist fundraiser Sami Al-Arian, comparing the controversial former professor to Martin Luther King and
Malcolm X.
The posting is just a sampling of a large volume of racist, anti-Semitic and pro-Palestinian rhetoric published on the user-friendly MyObama community blog pages. The Obama campaign does not monitor all blog material, which is posted by registered users, but says it removes offending posts that are brought to the attention of the administrators.

Will pro-abortion Catholics be excommunicated?
Will pro-abortion Catholics be excommunicated?
Jim Brown - OneNewsNow - 6/28/2008 4:05:00 AM
Catholic pro-life activist Judie Brown is railing against members of Barack Obama's National Catholic Advisory Council because of their ardent support of abortion on demand.
The Wall Street Journal reports that of the 21 senators, congressmen, and governors listed on the Council's National Leadership Committee, 17 have a 90-100 percent approval rating from the National Abortion Rights Action League. Senator Obama himself has a 100% approval rating from the group that now carries the name "NARAL Pro-Choice America."
Judie Brown, founder of American Life League (ALL), says Obama's NARAL Catholics give their church a bad name. "Every single one of those so-called Catholics who is in any way advising a pro-abortion individual who is running for president, should each be told by their bishop that they may not any longer receive Holy Communion -- and that they are, in fact, are no longer Catholics in good standing with the church. But the bishops are not telling these people that, and that is how this sort of thing happens," Brown explains.

'Efficient' instructor arrested on 15 counts of unlawful sex with inmate minors

A 60-year-old science teacher at the Brevard County Juvenile Detention Center in Florida has been arrested and charged with 15 counts of unlawful sex with minors and one count of filing a false police report.
Palm Bay police said Adrienne Laflamme told her 17-year-old student to conceal their sexual liaisons, including a threesome with a third student, and drug use so she wouldn't lose her job, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
"This woman's actions are an absolute disgrace," Detective Jasmine Campbell said. "We have reason to believe there are other victims and it's important that they come forward."
Laflamme is just the latest instructor to make WND's big list of American teachers accused or convicted of having sexual relations with students. She reportedly began the four-week heated affair with the inmate student within days of his release. The boy's mother said the teacher regularly picked the boy up from their home to have sex with him at her own residence.
The affair continued for several weeks, and Laflamme had sex with the student at least 15 times, including one threesome with a 14-year-old boy.
The teacher, away on vacation, loaned her vehicle to the boy. She filed a police report claiming the vehicle was stolen after learning police were investigating her.

Americans shouldn't elect Barack Obama for President...
Add me to the list!
James L. Lambert - Guest Columnist - 6/27/2008 4:00:00 PM
I agree with the growing number of people in the Christian community who are making the case that Americans shouldn't elect Barack Obama as the next president of the United States. I find myself in the company of people like Bill Keller, James Dobson, former NFL player and pastor Dr. O'Neal Dozier, Dr. Gary Cass, and Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, who all believe the Illinois senator would be a bad choice.
Focus on the Family's James Dobson took aim at Obama this week on his radio show, saying he things the Democratic candidate is "deliberately distorting the traditional understanding of the Bible to fit his own worldview, his own confused theology." Dobson and others are particularly upset by Obama's support of gay marriage, abortion rights, and partial-birth abortion, as well as his tendency to favor a socialistic philosophy in government.
For my fellow Christians who are "on the fence" when it comes to the November election, consider the following:
- Obama has been a strong defender of the abortion industry, as demonstrated by his speaking appearance at a Planned Parenthood convention.
- He has been sympathetic to the cause of gay marriage. He recently appeared in the gay magazine Advocate.
- Obama has said that there are many ways to heaven -- which flies in the face of claims by Christ himself who said He is the only way to God. In a response to Dobson and other Evangelicals, Obama has stated that "folks haven't been reading their Bible." Yet Obama's belief in the "big tent" of salvation (with there being "many paths to God") runs completely contrary to scripture.
- The sacrifice of Christ on the cross becomes meaningless in Obama's worldview, according to Jesse Lee Peterson. Peterson, an ordained minister and director of the Brotherhood of a New Destiny, recently appeared on my local TV show. Dr. Gary Cass, founder of Christian Anti-Defamation League agrees. "Why did Jesus have to die in the first place?" Cass asks. "Christians believe Christ had to bear the punishment for their sins and only personal faith in Christ in Christ's death and resurrection can save [us] from eternal judgment."
- Obama would likely nominate extremely liberal Supreme Court justices if he is elected, so contends Dr. O'Neal Dozier. Rev. Dozier, pastor of The Worldwide Christian Center in Florida, is appalled at the ignorance many black Christians have pertaining to the Democratic presidential candidate. Obama, notes Dozier, has made it crystal clear that he would appoint future Supreme Court justices in the mold of Justice Ginsberg -- a former ACLU counsel who has shown by her court decisions that she believes the high court should do more than interpret the law. Obama's Supreme Court nominees would dramatically affect legal opinion for a generation. Case law involving free speech, freedom of religion, and the continued slaughter of millions of babies will depend on the make-up of this court. Dozier is deeply concerned that many black Christians will end up voting for Obama "simply because he is black." It is Dozier's opinion that many black pastors "are weak spiritually," making it difficult for them to take a moral stand on cultural issues (i.e., abortion, gay "marriage," religious freedom, monogamy and government dependency). Dozier sees the need for pastors in his community to teach Christians the importance of living right before God.
"The media has given [Obama] a free pass" when it comes to his core beliefs, says Keller. Like Dobson, Petterson, Dozier, and Cass, Keller questions some of Obama's basic core religious beliefs. "He doesn't believe in Hell…Obama has stated that even though his mother didn't believe in Christ as her Savior, she is in Heaven." Regarding Obama's almost 20-year association with Trinity Church, Keller said that "two of my board members are from Chicago -- and Trinity has always been known as a radical church ... one that [promotes] black separatism and black liberation theology."

Not only does he support abortion, he has voted in favor of partial birth abortion.
Not only is he for partial birth abortion, he is also for finishing the job (killing) the baby, if the abortion failed.
In my opinion, how can we as Christians (followers/obeyers of Jesus and His Word ---unless you are a phony pretend Christian who will here the words, "Depart from Me, ... I never knew you...") even possibly consider such a person? SIMPLE...
Answer=Moral Decay in our Nation (due to the removal of God and His Word from schools, and everywhere), our so called politcal correctness in never wanting to offend anyone...even when it's the truth (and so be it if the truth hurts...let it hurt and learn from it!), and the very simple, but true fact that, "Liberalism is a mental disorder" as stated by Michael Savage.

Hate crimes meeting puts emphasis on 'homophobia,' 'transphobia'
Hate crimes meeting puts emphasis on 'homophobia,' 'transphobia'
- OneNewsNow - 6/28/2008 4:25:00 AM
NEW YORK - Member States of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) were caught off guard in a meeting in Helsinki last week. They were expecting to discuss crimes motivated by racism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism and religious intolerance. Instead the OSCE staff presented them with a draft of a soon-to-be-published document that includes repeated references to "homophobia" and "transphobia."
Sources inside the meeting told C-FAM's Friday Fax that while the public portion of the meetings stayed on the agreed topics of racism, xenophobia and religious intolerance, working group sessions revealed serious concerns on the part of participating States over the draft document's overwhelming focus on homosexual rights. Member States reminded the OSCE that it has no mandate to discuss "homophobia" or "transphobia" and that the OSCE ministerial council had previously rejected these issues as part of the organization's hate crimes mandate. (Note: Transphobia is a new term that the cultural left uses to refer to discrimination against those who have undergone sex change operations or are otherwise confused about their sex.)
Thirty-eight states participated in the two-day expert-level meeting, which was organized by the OSCE's Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights to facilitate hate crimes data collection between member countries and the OSCE. One of the primary objectives of the Helsinki meeting was to finalize the 2007 annual report, "Hate Crimes in the OSCE Region: Incidents and Responses." The organizers of the meeting did not allow for a substantial discussion of the 250-page draft, which contained numerous references to "homophobia" and "transphobia." Despite the lack of negotiations or consultations, at the close of the meeting the chairman declared that the report had been accepted through consensus.
Observers expressed concern that the OSCE is becoming more advocacy-driven in regards to homosexual rights and the organization has introduced terms like "transphobia" that have not been agreed to nor defined by Member States, rather than simply focusing on reporting and data collection.

Presbyterian Assembly votes to drop homosexual clergy ban
Presbyterian Assembly votes to drop homosexual clergy ban
Eric Gorski - Associated Press Religion Editor - 6/28/2008 5:40:00 AM
WASHINGTON - The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), bitterly divided over sexuality and the Bible, set up another confrontation Friday over its ban on ordaining non-celibate gays and lesbians.
The denomination's General Assembly, meeting in San Jose, Calif., voted 54 percent to 46 percent Friday to drop the requirement that would-be ministers, deacons and elders live in "fidelity within the covenant of marriage between and a man and a woman, or chastity in singleness."
The proposed change to the church constitution requires approval from a majority the nation's 173 presbyteries, or regional church bodies - a yearlong process that has proven to be a barrier to similar efforts in the past.
Of equal importance to advocates on both side of the debate, the assembly also voted to allow gay and lesbian candidates for ordination to conscientiously object to the existing standard. Local presbyteries and church councils that approve ordinations would consider such requests on a case-by-case basis.
That vote was an "an authoritative interpretation" of the church constitution rather than a change to it, so it goes into effect immediately. The interpretation supersedes a ruling from the church's high court, issued in February, that said there were no exceptions to the so-called "fidelity and chastity" requirement.
Both votes could put further strain on the 2.2-million member church, which like other mainline Protestant denominations has seen some conservative churches leave after losing battles over the place of gays and lesbians in the church and what the Bible says about gay relationships.

Homosexuals march on Jerusalem
Homosexuals march on Jerusalem
Jim Brown - OneNewsNow - 6/28/2008 4:20:00 AM
Christian Zionist Jim Hutchens says the recent homosexual pride parade in Jerusalem merely contributed to the moral climate that will bring about the besieging of Jerusalem foretold by prophets of the Bible.
Homosexuals and their supporters marched through the Holy City Thursday in direct defiance of the Hebraic scriptures as Orthodox Jews held a counter protest nearby. The so-called "gay pride" parade was allowed to proceed after Israel's Supreme Court rejected a petition to ban the event.
Hutchens, president of The Jerusalem Connection International (TJCI), says the Bible warns of a worldwide moral decline that affects the Holy Land as well. "There is a judgment that God brings worldwide and on Israel, as a matter of fact. And I think those are the events that lead up to what we refer to as Armageddon, the apocalyptic besieging of Jerusalem," Hutchens contends.

Steven Curtis Chapmans Family Receives Outpouring of Sympathy in The Loss of Their Precious Daughter Maria Sue Chapman
Chapmans Receive Outpouring of Sympathy
CBNNews.com
May 24, 2008
CBNNews.com - Funeral arrangements have been made for the 5-year-old daughter of Christian singer Steven Curtis Chapman.
The Chapmans' daughter Maria died after being hit by a car in the family's driveway. She had been playing there Wednesday evening as her brother, who was driving a Toyota Land Cruiser, pulled up. He did not see his little sister.
"He understandably is just devastated," Chapman's pastor Scotty Smith told CBN News about the son involved in the accident. "Their beautiful home has a couple of bends in the road. It just was totally an accident. and this young man's heart is crushed."
Smith has been a friend of the Chapman family for more than 20 years. He is urging others not to forget to include Maria's brother in their prayers.
"I encourage all to just redouble their prayers. because we all can predict how the enemy will try and whisper in his heart," he said.
Maria was the youngest of three girls from China that Chapman and his wife Mary Beth adopted. They also have three biological children.
The entire family was home when the accident happened. Two other kids witnessed the tragedy. Maria was rushed to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital where she later died from her injuries.
Visitation for the Chapman's little girl will begin Friday, May 23, at the Christ Presbyterian Church in Nashville, Tenn. A memorial service will take place Saturday, May 24, at 11 a.m.
Loving the Adopted
Early Thursday, a video of Maria was posted on the Shaohanna's Hope web site, showing a couple of her most "kid-like" moments. In it, Maria helps her dad clean the kitchen after eating pancakes. The video is slated Dishwashin' Daddy.
Chapman stands close behind his daughter, playing his guitar and singing a song as his "chief bottle washer" rinses cups in the sink.
The Chapmans have always had a heart for adopting and founded Shoahanna's Hope ministry after bringing their first adopted daughter home from China.
In his latest music tour, Chapman began the campaign Change for Orphans, asking audience members to donate to the adoption cause.
The singer/songwriter was recently inducted into the Music City Walk of Fame and has sold more than 10 million albums, winning him more than 50 Dove Awards.

Send Your Condolences to the Family of Steven Curtis Chapman
The Christian world is mourning the tragic death of singer Steven Curtis Chapman's daughter, Maria Sue. The following statement has come from Chapman’s manager, Jim Houser:
“Maria Sue Chapman, adopted and youngest daughter to Mary Beth and Steven Curtis Chapman, was killed in a tragic accident in the family driveway on Wednesday evening. She was LifeFlighted to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital but for only reasons God can explain she went home to Him ... not to Franklin as we all so desperately wanted.
"Your prayers are needed for all in the Chapman family. This is a family who has so generously loved and given to so many. Just hours before this close knit family was celebrating the engagement of the oldest daughter Emily Chapman, and were just hours away from a graduation party marking Caleb Chapman's completion of high school. Now, they are preparing to bury a child who blew out 5 candles on a birthday cake less than 10 days ago. These words are unthinkable to type. And yet we trust in a God who was not surprised by this and because of Jesus I am certain through faith in Him we will see Maria again.”
Steven Curtis Chapman’s Web site has posted a special video diary in memory of Maria that you can access by going to:

Chapman stands close behind his daughter, playing his guitar and singing a song as his "chief bottle washer" rinses cups in the sink.
The Chapmans have always had a heart for adopting and founded Shoahanna's Hope ministry after bringing their first adopted daughter home from China.
In his latest music tour, Chapman began the campaign Change for Orphans, asking audience members to donate to the adoption cause.
The singer/songwriter was recently inducted into the Music City Walk of Fame and has sold more than 10 million albums, winning him more than 50 Dove Awards.

Send Your Condolences to the Family of Steven Curtis Chapman
The Christian world is mourning the tragic death of singer Steven Curtis Chapman's daughter, Maria Sue. The following statement has come from Chapman’s manager, Jim Houser:
“Maria Sue Chapman, adopted and youngest daughter to Mary Beth and Steven Curtis Chapman, was killed in a tragic accident in the family driveway on Wednesday evening. She was LifeFlighted to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital but for only reasons God can explain she went home to Him ... not to Franklin as we all so desperately wanted.
"Your prayers are needed for all in the Chapman family. This is a family who has so generously loved and given to so many. Just hours before this close knit family was celebrating the engagement of the oldest daughter Emily Chapman, and were just hours away from a graduation party marking Caleb Chapman's completion of high school. Now, they are preparing to bury a child who blew out 5 candles on a birthday cake less than 10 days ago. These words are unthinkable to type. And yet we trust in a God who was not surprised by this and because of Jesus I am certain through faith in Him we will see Maria again.”

Court allows partial-birth abortion in VA
Court allows partial-birth abortion in VA
Jeff Johnson -
A federal court has struck down Virginia's ban on partial-birth abortions a second time, even after the legislature amended the law to comply with the first negative decision.
(WARNING: The following story contains material not suitable for children.)
A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decided Tuesday that Virginia's ban – which is nearly identical to the federal ban upheld by the Supreme Court – is unconstitutional. Victoria Cobb, president of the Family Foundation of Virginia, says the reasoning of the two judges who voted to overturn the law is baffling.
"This is a case where we have some judges who have read into the law that an abortionist can accidentally perform this procedure when intending to perform a 'normal' abortion," Cobb explains.
The two Clinton appointees said they overturned the law because there is no exception to protect an abortionist who accidentally delivers an unborn child up to his or her neck and then punctures the child's brain to end its life.
"There is no question in the minds of most people who look at this issue objectively that one cannot 'accidentally' have a partial-birth abortion," Cobb contends.

Chicago hosts 'Queer Prom' tonight
Chicago hosts 'Queer Prom' tonight
Jim Brown - OneNewsNow - 5/23/2008 11:00:00 AM
Conservative activists are speaking out against a so-called "Queer Prom" for Latino youth tonight in Chicago.
The event at the National Museum of Mexican Art is being billed as a dance for "LGBTQ youth" (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning), but adults are also invited. Lambda Legal, the group Latinos Progresando, and a homosexual bathhouse known as "Steamworks" are among the sponsors.
Mario Diaz of Concerned Women for America says Latino groups should be finding ways for Hispanics to pursue the American dream, not promoting homosexual activity.

Marriage laws aren't changed – yet
Whoa! Marriage laws aren't changed – yet
Activists note California court cannot change existing statutes

Some 10 days ago, four black-robed members of the California Supreme Court trashed traditional marriage of one-man-and-one-woman. But that opinion has to be translated into changes in state law, forms, and procedures before any actual same-sex "marriage" can take place, and that hasn't happened yet and might not for some time, according to a pro-family organization.
For example, one of the legally established forms in California involving marriage issues reflects several references to "bride" and "groom" and "husband" and "wife" that must properly be filled out by "qualifying" individuals before state law allows it to be recognized, according to Randy Thomasson of the Campaign for Children and Families.
And state law demands, "Every person who knowingly procures or offers any false or forged instrument to be filed, registered, or recorded in any public office within this state … is guilty of a felony." Thomasson believes that leaves a formal change in state statutes as the only way the state can implement what the court has expressed in its opinion.
