What the Church Can Learn From Starbucks' Bold Stance on Gay Marriage?
This past week during Starbucks' annual shareholders meeting, CEO Howard Shultz shut down an investor who asked if the company’s support of a gay marriage initiative in Washington state was to blame for a disappointing earnings season.
Shultz responded, “Some things are not a financial decision.” His bold words brought immediate applause from the other shareholders. Shultz then added that if the investor didn’t like the company's position, he was welcome to “sell [his] shares ... and buy shares in another company. Thank you very much.” |

North Korean Church Leaders Ask for Prayer Amid War Preparations
North Korean church leaders are asking Christians worldwide to pray for their country amid increased war threats and combat preparation by North Korean military officials.
Prayer for beleaguered believers in North Korea is more important than ever, says Open Doors, an organization that supports persecuted Christians in 60 countries. According to underground Christians, there is a war-like atmosphere in the country: "We are to meet the decisive battle with a gun in one hand and a hammer in the other," summarized a Christian leader about the message the North Korean people recently received from the "high command." |

Homosexuality, The Supreme Court, and God's Warning
This ruling by the Supreme Court on the so-called "Gay Marriage" issue has the potential to be the Roe vs. Wade ruling of this generation. Interestingly enough, both abominations are twin roots of the same tree nurturing the culture of death. They are both Anti-Christ, anti-life, anti-family, and anti-child. Regardless of which way the Supreme Cort rules, the truth is man cannot make straight what God calls crooked (Ecclesiastes 1:15). We cannot tolerate what God deems intolerable and neither can we continue to change moral wrongs into civil rights and expect to thrive as a nation.

Carl recalled, in an article in American news site WND today, how “Christians in Tanzania, for example, are on alert after an Assemblies of God pastor was killed while attempting to stop Muslim youth from killing two Christian meat cutters.” |
