There are news article circulating the internet from a research study done by the University of Exeter (British) that mankind’s behavior might be genetically programmed to make one individual nice and another nasty. From a news article, “Genes are to be blamed if a person good or bad and not the surrounding. To understand the concept of genetic polymorphism, researchers has produced a an innovative model of social evolution and concluded that some people are genetically programmed to help other, while the other aspect also tends to the same concept.” One of the definitions of nasty is defiled, another good word that could be chosen would be corrupt. For years psychobabble has declared many sinful lives as having a cause or origin outside of the control of the individual with the ‘diagnosis’. Now mankind is looking to take that one step further and not only deny their Creator, but through ‘science’ declare that sin might not be the individual’s fault, but rather their genetic makeup. Are the Holy Scriptures silent on this? “My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.” Psalms 139:15 “And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Genesis 2:7 God is the one who created mankind, not some nonsense evolutionary process. Man continually searches to find proof that there is no God, now furthering that, trying to excuse sin. There is a problem with that, all will stand...

“Then they will deliver you up to affliction and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.” Matthew 24:19 True Christians have always been the focus of derision throughout the ages, certainly it is nothing new. In America there has always been tolerance and aside from some name calling, usually there is no true violence against Believers. This of course is not the case in other countries, such as Iran, Syria, India, China or historically in place like Russia. The Roman Catholic church persecuted and killed millions of Believers throughout the middle ages, even into the 1800’s. “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and scourge you in their synagogues.” Matthew 10:16-17 The government has coined the term ‘lone wolves’, but in reality those who truly know Christ are His sheep. As our society continues to become more and more degraded, the threat from the actual wolves out there increases. What is a Believer to do? “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” 1st Corinthians 15:58 Persecution comes with our Citizenship (Philippians 3:20). While we might live in a region of the world where the persecution is light, nonetheless, if we lived in a region where the persecution is severe, including the threat of being killed, we must remember the words that Jesus...

“Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry nor prayer for them, nor make intercession to Me; for I will not hear you.” Jeremiah 7:16 Another tragedy hits America and this time a mass shooting. The media is dubbing it the biggest terror attack since 9/11 in America, others talk about it being the biggest mass shooting in the United States history and of course Obama is adding the term hate crime to the ordeal. To further complicate things, the man responsible for the murder of 50+ people, plus the further injuring of 50+ people claimed ties to ISIS before he was killed by the police. Panic ensued at the nightclub where the shooting took place and everyone was screaming and crying as a hostage situation unfolded and the shooter was taking life after life. A terrible situation that will undoubtedly cause much more ‘debate’ about gun control and push for more liberties to be taken away from Americans. To top it off there are (as of this writing) also reports of a man with a cache of guns and weapons who police stopped. He was apparently on his way to a LBGTQ (lesbian, bi-sexual, gay, transgender, queer) ‘parade’ in Los Angeles, with intent to do harm. This is being wrote on a Sunday afternoon, just hours after the shooting. While I am sure other details will emerge, as I read a couple of news articles today about the situation, I noticed a common theme. The twitter handles were being pushed in the media, #prayForOrlando #prayForPulse. What is Pulse? Pulse is...
