“IT’S CHRISTIAN GENOCIDE! Europe Parliament Unanimously Rules as Christians Murdered by ISIS
The increasing persecution happening to Christians throughout the world is causing more and more attention. Most recently, the European Parliament has gathered in response to this. They have unanimously voted, deciding that the amount of persecution against Christians is Genocide. Freedom’s House, Nina Shea boldly shares, “It’s very important to call it genocide. It’s important because it’s the truth.” She continues to share about the bleak outcome for Christians where ISIS is present. ‘In the ISIS controlled territory, there is no evidence right now of any Christian life. All the Christians have either been killed or driven out…’The free fall of Christian population in Syria and Iraq reveal just how bleak the reality is. In Syria, once home to 1.2 million believers now has less than 500,000. There were once 1.5 million believers in Iraq. Two thirds have either been killed or forced to flee. It is good that the European Parliament sees these alarming truths. What is the present administration voicing?
Remember when the journalist, James Foley, was beheaded by the hands of ISIS? After sharing a five-minute speech about the horrifying loss of James Foley, President Obama then proceeded to play golf while imagery of the brutal act was rapidly spread for all to see. We have to begin to stand up for the persecuted church. We must put all of these realities into context. If we don’t stand up for justice, if we wait too late, then we’re bait.

Data, Medicine, Cures, Reverse Aging, Future Health Merging in a Data Revolution in a Technologically Advanced World. “This Calls for Wisdom” Revelation 13:18
Technology is all around us. It is an everyday part of our lives. It wasn’t always like this. We didn’t always have plumbing. In order to make a copy, someone had to rewrite the entire page. We used to take horses to work. Fast forward to today and the advancements of technology are unending. This is true for healthcare as well. With the advancements of technology, diseases and sicknesses are able to be identified, even cured, with the early identification breakthroughs.
CNN’s Fareed Zakaria recently interviewed David Agus M.D., Professor of Medicine at USC’s Keck School of Medicine, and author of The Lucky Years, to get a pulse on just where the medical industry is right now. According to Agus, the transformation to mandated digital records has created significant databases providing the ability for surprising discoveries. For example, cases have been studied regarding women with ovarian cancer, “if you happen to be on a blood pressure medicine, called a ‘beta-blocker’, you live about a year and a half longer”. Agus continues to share that this would have never been a reality had the data not been closely looked at and realized.
Agus also shares how big data studies have revealed the impact upon residential areas around airports. “…if you do circles around an airport, the closer you live in, the higher the rate of neuro cognitive decline. Meaning that the brain needs quiet time every night…” Agus continues to share about the advancements of responding to cancer, how cancer can differ in our bodies based on aging, and also reversing the process of aging.
It is a beautiful sight to see how scientists are discovering the miracle of how God created the inner workings of our body. Every day of our lives, individual healings are taking place whether we realize it or not. While the medical communities may be reaching discoveries about reversing the aging process, the question we must ask ourselves is, ‘why do we want to live longer’? If we are not living our lives with the values of eternity now, why would we want to add more to our life if we do not want to live for eternity? Technology is a beautiful thing. Are we supposed to submit to technology or is technology supposed to submit to us? These are important topics that we must seek wisdom from the Lord about. Watch the full interview with Dr. Agus about the changing advancements, how spending time with the Lord provides the peace that we need, and so much more.

CRY NOW FOR JUSTICE, BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE! IF YOU WAIT TOO LATE, YOU’LL BE BAIT!
Justice is vital to understand. If we don’t understand the importance of justice, we can be blind to the outcomes of injustices taking place. When the Young America’s Foundation hosted a discussion with Dinesh D’souza and Bill Ayers, the topic of justice was presented with this bold question. “Do either of you feel that our criminal justice system has become too political?” The answer was quite straightforward.
By understanding who Bill Ayers is, those who were also part of the same attitude and spirit, Saul Alinsky, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama (before presidency), we see more what is taking place today. Isaiah 59:14-15 shares, “So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance; truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter. Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey. The Lord looked and was displeased that there was no justice.” When we see injustice, it matters that we become the voice for the voiceless and stand up. As Isaiah 59 reveals, God is not pleased if we do not. Hear this full discussion about justice, how you can learn more about the vitality of crying out for justice, and so much more.

Franklin Graham and Daughter Cissie Graham Lynch on 7 Day Tour Part 3- Capernaum
The beautiful journey of the Holy Land, Israel, continues as Franklin Graham and his daughter Cissie Graham Lynch visit Capernaum. As Franklin points out the town next to the waters of the Galilee, he shares about the biblical significance of this moment. “Right now, we’re at Capernaum. We’re pretty sure because of the ruins here and the synagogue and what they have found; that this is Capernaum, that this is Jesus’ headquarters; and this is where He lived during much of His ministry.” It was in this very place that the men described of in Mark 2:1-12, lowered down their crippled friend in front of Jesus in hopes that he would be healed. See the beautiful imageries of this water front town, the very place where Jesus walked, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: Israel, faith, and hope. Greg and John shared in this segment.
