A Shocking Story Of Slavery Out Of The Country Of Sudan

We must never forget to pray for the oppressed Christians of Sudan.

This very sobering story about the horror of slavery in Sudan is from The Voice Of The Martyrs:

-----

The brass shackle is called, in Arabic, a "bacle". Peter held it out as if it were a sacred object. It was a reminder of his family's past and of Peter's great blessing.

His grandfather had made the bacle, but it was not a craft project. In fact, he was forced to wear it by his Islamic masters. Peter's grandfather, though harassed and tormented by his Mulsim masters, would not join their faith. He held fast to his faith in Christ, and his body bore the scars of his refusal. Because he was not a Muslim, he was seen as nothing more than an animal.

Shortly before he died, Peter's grandfather had the bacle removed and gave it to Peter's father. "Our family will not always be slaves," he said, "but we must never forget."

Later Peter's father gave it to him, and he carried it with him when he escaped from his Muslim owner and fled to freedom. Today it is no longer a sign of ownership, but a sign of God's overcoming power. It is a symbol of God's hand on a family, working through three generations to bring them to freedom.

"Never forget my people," he urged. "Never stop praying for persecuted Christians in Sudan."

Men Are Leading The Spiritual Decline Of America

Very few readers of this blog will doubt that there is a spiritual decline taking place in America.

Do you know who is leading the charge?

Men.

You don't think this is true?

Did you realize that the typical American church draws a crowd that is 61% female and 39% male?

Did you realize that on any given Sunday there are 13 million more women than men in the churches of America?

Did you realize that every Sunday almost 25 percent of married, churchgoing women will go to church without their husbands in America?

Did you realize that approximately 90 percent of the boys who are being raised in church in America will abandon it by their 20th birthday?

Why is there such a spiritual gender gap in America?

Is there anything we can do about it?

If you have some ideas for a solution, please feel free to leave a comment.

But once in a while.....

Once in a while someone actually lets a bit of the truth slip out.

The Archbishop Of Canterbury Pronounces That Gay Relationships Are Comparable To Marriage

Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, has come out and said that gay relationships are "comparable to marriage" and that gay sexual relationships can "reflect the love of God".

Rowan Williams is the head of the Church of England - one of the largest protestant denominations in the world. This is just another indication that we are seeing the apostasy of the end times right before our eyes.

Halloween Is Coming - Should We Embrace The Darkness?

Halloween is less than two weeks away.

Are you ready?

Do you know where the word "Halloween" came from?

Do you know that a holiday named "Samhain" was celebrated on October 31st for centuries before the word "Halloween" was invented?

Do you know that Samhain is still celebrated by many, many people today?

Do you know that many "Halloween traditions" of today can trace back to the pagan practices of ancient peoples?

Raiders News Network just came out with this great article that gets into a bit of the history of Halloween. It is surprising just how much we do not know about this holiday.

Many people would celebrate Halloween no matter what is is associated with, while others are really seeking to unmask this holiday.

So should Christians celebrate Halloween? The Christian Broadcasting Network recently released their opinion on this matter:

But are they being too soft?

Halloween is just one of many pagan holidays throughout the year. Raiders News Network also posted this guide to what witches and other pagans will do after Halloween is over:

So what are we to make of all of this?

Well, we recently released a new YouTube video on the history and the dangers of Halloween, and we believe that after you watch this video your opinions about this holiday may change dramatically:

A Story That Shows That We Could Learn A Lot From Some Sudanese Boys

The following is a stunning story of the courage of some Christian Sudanese boys that is originally from The Voice Of The Martyrs:

-----

"Say it with us," the soldiers screamed, kicking and punching the boys' faces and abdomens. "Allah is God, and Mohammed is his prophet. Say it!"

The four young Sudanese boys cried and screamed out for their mothers but they refused to repeat the words that would mean saving their lives yet renouncing their Christianity. Their red blood began to flow across their black skin, but they would not give up their faith in Christ.

The older teenage boys looked on in horror. They had seen this Southern Sudanese families murdered by sword-wielding Islamic fighters. Now they watched as their four young friends and relatives--the youngest only five years old--were beaten to death.

Already the soldiers had forced each older boy to lie over hot coals and ordered them to repeat the Muslim creed and join the Islamic faith. None of the boys would say the words despite the excruciating pain.

There were fourteen boys and thirteen girls abducted in the raid that day. The girls have never been located and were likely sold as slaves or concubines in Northern Sudan. All of the boys were tortured, but none relented.

The next night the older boys escaped, still bearing the scars of the previous nights. Not one renounced his faith.

Did You Realize That The 2nd Coming Of Yahshua The Messiah Was Written About In The Old Testament Scriptures?

Did you realize that the 2nd coming of Yahsua the Messiah was written about in the Old Testament Scriptures hundreds of years before Yahshua came the first time?

Check out the absolutely stunning scriptures below. The second quote from the book of Zechariah even tells us EXACTLY WHERE Yahshua will return to this earth. (Hint: it is exactly the place where he left this earth from).

Daniel 7:13-18

In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.

I, Daniel, was troubled in spirit, and the visions that passed through my mind disturbed me. I approached one of those standing there and asked him the true meaning of all this. So he told me and gave me the interpretation of these things: 'The four great beasts are four kingdoms that will rise from the earth. But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom and will possess it forever—yes, for ever and ever.'

Check out this scripture as well:

Zechariah 14:3-4

Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights in the day of battle. On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south.

What Are Half A Million Plastic Coffins Doing In The Middle Of Georgia?

This is a really creepy story.

The video posted below contains footage of an absolutely stunning discovery.

There are a half MILLION plastic coffins in the middle of Georgia, and nobody is sure what they are for.

You can get more information on the type of coffins in the video here:

http://www.polyguardvaults.com/index.cfm?ID=9

Now, why in the world would the government or anyone else need so many coffins?

Some observers are speculating that the government may be expecting a half million people to die relatively soon.

The Atlanta airport is a major airline traffic hub, one of the biggest in the entire country, which means Georgia is a prime location to conduct military operations. It is also the home of the CDC - the Center for Disease Control.

Are there other locations around the country with huge stockpiles of coffins waiting for people to die?

Does the government know something that we don't know?

Could it be possible that a worldwide "population reduction" is being planned?
