The coming food shortage.

It’s in the air. Can you feel it?

The housing market has crashed, gas prices are rising, unemployment is increasing, and now there’s signs of a coming world-wide food shortage. Can anyone else see what’s looming on the horizon?

Here are a few news articles that came out just this week on the rationing of food:

The New York Sun is declaring Food Rationing Confronts Breadbasket of the World.

The Age is warning Japan’s Hunger Becomes a Dire Warning for Other Nations.

BreitBart is announcing UN Chief Warns World Must Urgently Increase Food Production.

Reuters is reporting Wal-Mart’s Sam’s Club is Limiting the Sales of Rice.

The Washington Post is revealing that Americans Hoarding Food.

NBC is announcing Bay Area Shoppers Asked to Limit Rice Purchases.

Times Online is reporting the Era of Cheap Food Ends as Prices Surge.

Ingrid Schlueter also recently hosted an episode of Cross Talk in which she dealt with this same issue. She begins the show talking about how so many people, (including professing Christians), spend inordinate amounts of money on their pets, then she transitions into the coming food crisis. I strongly encourage you to listen to this episode entitled: Rising Food Prices.

But for the grace of God…

One year ago today, 33 People were slain in one of the deadliest displays of human depravity in recent memory (9/11 notwithstanding, of course). Why did it happen? What could have been done to prevent it? What would cause a young man to feel such hatred that he would execute 33 other human beings in the coldest of cold blood? Two words:

Human nature.

It’s how we’re made. It’s what we do. We are born to do evil. We are born to put ourselves before others. Put two children in a room with one toy, and what’s going to happen? I think you and I both know the answer to that one. We are born with a nature that says, “I don’t care about God. I don’t want anything to do with God. In fact, I am God!”

When this happened, many people asked, “Why did God let this happen?” Some issued the oft-repeated question, “Why does God allow so much evil to happen?” These are questions that naturally come to the natural mind. But, they are not the right questions. If people saw themselves for who they really are, and if they saw the world through God’s eyes, they would be grateful that God has stayed His hand for so long, and they would rather ask, “Why doesn’t God allow more suffering? Why has God been so gracious to us?”

But for the grace of God…..

When we hear about 33 people being killed in such a cold-hearted manner, we are shocked, dismayed, and horrified. Yet many of these same people do not regard the fact that into this world of hatred, murder, and violence God sent His Son, to die a death much worse than a gunshot to the head. Because of people who think that they are God. Who think they deserve to live life however they want. Because everyone–and I do not exclude myself–everyone is their own god, everyone does what is right in their own eyes. And unless a person is renewed and quickened by the Holy Spirit of God, each one is capable of something like this. Even things much worse than this. Because that’s who we are.

But for the grace of God…..

Yet God saw fit to send His Son, wrapped in this disgusting, filthy flseh, and ransom some. He saw fit to rescue some from the pits of Hell, from the torment of Hades, from the fires of Gehenna. He decided, by only the good pleasure of His will to not let all of humanity perish, but to save a few from His wrath.

Genesis 8:21–“The intention of a man’s heart is evil from his youth.”

Jeremiah 17:9–“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked. Who can know it?”

Romans 3:11-18–“There is none righteous, no, not one; there is none who understands; there is none who seeks after God. They have all turned aside; they have together become unprofitable; there is none who does good, no, not one. Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they have practiced deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips; whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood; destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

The fear of the LORD. A concept many people have lost, even those who claim to be His. There is no fear of God before our eyes if we do not know Him. But if we do know Him, and we do fear Him–

Proverbs 14:26-27–“In the fear of the LORD there is strong confidence, and His children will have a place of refuge. The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to turn one away from the snares of death.”

Let us always remember that not only could we have been one of the victims that day. We could have also been the killer.

But for the grace of God….

Barack Obama’s pastor Jeremiah Wright.

racism.jpgJust when you thought this Trinity Church was as apostate as they come, Chris over at A Little Leaven has posted the following 3-minute video of Barack Obama’s pastor from Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Illinois .

After watching this short video below I had the following questions:

1). Did this guy attend the Fred Phelps school of theology?

2). What chapter and verse is he expositing this racism from? Is he actually preaching out of the Koran?

3). Since the whole message in this video was political, does this mean that TUCC will now have its tax exempt status revoked?

On a side note: Amidst all the weirdness, anger, hate, and shocking words that spewed from Mr. Wright, I noticed three things in this video that may be missed if you’re not looking for them:

1:34 The back of his robe either catches on fire or there are ants crawling up his back. Fortunately two observant men are quick to fix the problem without Mr. Wright missing a beat.
2:22 What’s with the freaky James Brown hot tub dance moves? A little weird for a pastor to do during a “sermon,” or at any time for that matter.
2:38 Get ready, here comes the hypocrisy. After two and a half minutes of bigoted and racist-laden rhetoric, Mr. Wright says that he won’t stoop to their level of “hatred, bigotry, and small mindedness.”

I did some checking into this man and discovered the following myriad of videos.

This news video reveals a whole lot more on Mr. Wright. You may ask yourself after viewing this video, why this man chooses to live in this country.

In the following video advertisement for TUCC, you’ll see Mr. Wright with Barack Obama at 1:46, right after scenes of the dancing costume circus on “stage.”

Jeremiah Wright on Fox. No one will ever accuse Mr. Wright of being quick to listen. I think he forgot who was the host and who was the guest.

And more on the topic.

A blow to homeschooling from the People’s Republic of California.

homeschool.gif Justice H. Walter Croskey said in the court ruling against homeschooling, “Parents do not have a constitutional right to homeschool their children.” I didn’t see anything in the constitution about abortion, but that didn’t seem to be a hindrance.

I knew this was coming. It was inevitable as more and more people have chosen to homeschool their children to avoid the brainwashing “socializing” of their kids by the government’s secular worldview. After all, who has a better interest in your own kids than the government?

The government funded education system has less and less control on the indoctrination of your children so the only logical move for them to make was to make it illegal. Honestly, I was beginning to wonder what was taking them so long.

That’s “Minister” Kathy Griffin to you!

kathy.jpg Kathy Griffin caused waves last year when she made some rude remarks about our precious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ after she received an award (video).

So what is she up to now? Why, she’s become an ordained minister! That’s right. She received her ordination online from Universal Life Church so she could perform a marriage.

Read the news article here.

This just proves that just because someone is an “ordained minister” does not necessarily mean they’re actually saved and going to Heaven. There are a lot of woolly “sheep” howling at the moon these days and many are “ordained.”

Will the Mormon church be able to stop NASA’s planned assault on the inhabitants of the moon?

Mormon MoonAccording to this article NASA is set to slam not one, but two satellites into the moon. Since Mormon leaders have taught that the moon is populated (along with the sun), I anticipate that the LDS church will vehemently protest this planned attack on the moon. I expect to see the LDS church publicly confront NASA on their disregard for human life and their insensitivity to the inhabitants of the moon. The LDS church will have to race against the clock, though, as this attack on the moon people is scheduled for February 2009.

If they don’t take a stand here and now, Kolob may be next!

Two children strangled and stabbed to death in pagan ritual.

pagan-pentagram.jpg This is an unbelievable story out of Iowa of two young girls (eight-year-old Alysha, and ten-year-old Kendra) who were strangled and stabbed to death by their own stepfather (a self-professed pagan) in an occult ritual that went bad.

Read the articles on this sad story from the Sioux City Journal below:

January 8th article: Two dead in ritual killing

January 9th article: Stepfather practiced spells

January 9th article: Suspect kept to himself

And yet, you’ll still have some professing “Christians” claim that Harry Potter (steeped in pagan and occult practices) is somehow of value to Christianity and evangelism.

Will the prosperity “gospel” float in flooded Fernley, Nevada?

Do you think that this happened because the residents simply “didn’t have enough faith?” Somehow I believe that these folks aren’t having their “best life now.” It takes times like this to see what a folly the false prosperity “gospel” truly is. fernley-flood.jpg

Here’s more examples of how the prosperity “gospel” is an utter failure outside an affluent industrialized Western country during times of prosperity.

Rick Warren’s glowing remarks on Mike Huckabee.

In one of my previous posts we saw how Baptist Minister turned politician Mike Huckabee capitulated when it came to a serious and important issue (maybe not in the eyes of politics but eternally serious for the millions of those trapped in the maze of Mormonism). Well, now I understand why Huckabee back-peddled from the issue. Apparently Mr. Huckabee is cavorting with ilk like Rick Warren, and we all know how Mr. Warren is when it comes to defending the faith. Check out Warren’s comments found on Huckabee’s website by clicking here.

Another victim of the Jehovah’s Witnesses.This time it’s a 14-year-old boy.

dead-jw-boy.jpg

The young boy in this picture (age 14) is dead.

And who is to blame? None other than the Watchtower Bible and Tract Association, also known as the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Read the ABC news article here.

This is one of the reasons why reaching the cults is so vitally important. And yet there will still be people (even professing Christians) who will say that you’re not loving if you challenge false teachers and their false doctrines. They’ll even say such ridiculous and Biblically ignorant things like, “Jesus would never challenge their faith.“

If you listen carefully when they say these things you can hear the hiss from their forked tongues.

Also see another senseless death of a mother who refused a blood transfusion after giving birth.

The Mormon “Jesus” is Satan’s brother.

As stated before, DefCon is not interested in delving into the political realm unless the topic is of value to the readers of this blog. This happens to be one of those occasions.

Ordained Southern Baptist minister turned politician (that’s where it all goes wrong) and current presidential candidate Mike Huckabee asked a very good question of Mitt Romney’s faith: “Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?” (Click here to read more about it, including the LDS spin).

Now this is a great question, but unfortunately–since Huckabee is now a politician–he caved under pressure and apologized. For what? For daring to ask a serious question about one of Mormonism’s many heretical and blasphemous false doctrines. (Read more about Huckabee’s capitulation by clicking here).

I found it interesting that in both articles linked above, the following quote can be found:

“The authoritative Encyclopedia of Mormonism, published in 1992, does not refer to Jesus and Satan as brothers. It speaks of Jesus as the son of God and of Satan as a fallen angel, which is a Biblical account.”

Well of course! Mormonism constantly changes, shuffles, obscures, and hides their true doctrines, and have been doing so for years. So as a public service to the readers of this blog–and those reporters of these articles that apparently don’t know much about Mormonism–I thought I’d share with you some quotes from Mormonism that may clear up the confusion.

The appointment of Jesus to be the Savior of the world was contested by one of the other sons of God.He was called Lucifer, son of the morning.Haughty, ambitious, and covetous of power and glory, this spirit-filled brother of Jesus desperately tried to become the Savior of Mankind. Milton R. Hunter, The Gospel Through The Ages, 1945 Edition, Page 15.

Two of our brothers offered to help.Our oldest brother, Jesus Christ . . . said, “Here am I send me” . . . Satan, who was called Lucifer, also came, saying, “Behold, here am I, send me . . .”After hearing both sons speak, Heavenly Father said, “I will send the first” (Abraham 3:27). Gospel Principles, 1997 Edition, Pages 17-18.

“Who will redeem the earth, who will go forth and make the sacrifice for the earth and all things it contains?” The eldest son said: “Here am I;” but he did not say “send me.” But the second one, which was “Lucifer, son of the morning,” said, “Lord, here am I, send me, I will redeem every son and daughter of Adam and Eve that lives on the earth, or that ever goes on the earth.” “But,” says the Father, “that will not answer at all. I give each and every individual his agency; all must use that in order to gain exaltation in my kingdom; inasmuch as they have the power of choice they must exercise that power. Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, Volume 13, Page 282.
