"My God!" Screamed by Passngers as German Plane Went Down

The technology we have today provides us with some pretty eerie images.  Investigators of the Germanwings plane crash in France have found someones cell-phone memory card and turns out they were recording the scene inside the passenger cabin as they all realized they were going to die.

A mobile phone video purportedly shows the final chaotic seconds inside the cabin of the ill-fated Germanwings airliner immediately before it crashed, with two European media outlets claiming to have seen the footage.

One sequence reportedly shows passengers screaming "My God".

French magazine Paris Match and German daily Bild said the authenticity of the video, which was found on a memory card recovered from the crash site, is "unquestionable".

The video reportedly lasts just a few seconds and shows passengers knew what was happening to them before co-pilot Andreas Lubitz crashed the plane into the French Alps, instantly killing all 150 people on board.

"The scene was so chaotic that it was hard to identify people, but the sounds of the screaming passengers made it perfectly clear that they were aware of what was about to happen to them," said Paris Match, adding people were heard crying "My God" in several languages.

It added "metallic banging" could be heard more than three times — possibly the attempts of the pilot to open the cockpit door with a heavy object.

While we can't know for sure, we can make some assumptions based on European data that says 3% of Europeans would call themselves Christians, which leaves about 97% who are atheists or agnostics..  So if 150 passengers were on board that would translate to 145 of them probably admittedly having NO RELATIONSHIP with God through Jesus Christ...which is the ONLY way.

Yet in their final seconds of life, isn't it interesting that they all cry out to God?  Why don't they say, "Oh my land!" or "Oh my Porshe!" or "Oh my big house!"?

The Bible says that all men are hardwired with a gene in them that KNOWS there is a God.  This is just one other fact that shows how merciful our Creator is.  Yet people purposefully reject this knowledge.  They do everything they can to flush the knowledge of God from their lives...until finally God gives them over to the desires of their hearts and the lust of their flesh.  No doubt many can go the rest of their lives denying God....until they are faced with the fact that they are going to die really soon... and then those same atheists all scream, "My God!"

It's too late to pray for the souls of those dead people...but it's not too late to accept Jesus Christ as your savior if you are reading this and don't know Him.  It's also not too late to tell your co-worker, neighbors, family and friends what Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father except through me."




California Restricts Water Statewide for First Time EVER

If God doesn't send the rain to California really soon, the entire United States could start to feel it.  I don't need to remind any of my regular readers that 40% of USA food source comes from CA.  I also don't need to remind you of the unrest and disruption that would happen in the USA if 60,000,000 folks from out west end up needing to relocate someplace where the toilets still flush.

In a historic move, California is ordering water use to be slashed by 25 percent across the state to deal with a drought that just won't quit.

With more than 98 percent of the state suffering from a drought that has stretched into its fourth year, Governor Jerry Brown issued an executive order from the mostly snow-bare Phillips Station in the Sierra Nevada mountains -- an area that would usually have snow pack more than 66 inches deep at this time of year.

"Today we are standing on dry grass where there should be five feet of snow. This historic drought demands unprecedented action," Brown said in a statement. "Therefore, I'm issuing an executive order mandating substantial water reductions across our state. As Californians, we must pull together and save water in every way possible."

Similar measures were considered during California's 1970s drought but were never implemented, according to the governor's office.

Brown announced the emergency measures at one of the regular surveys researchers take of the snow pack at what in wetter, colder times is a popular ski destination. Snow built up over the winter provides an important measure of the amount of water that will be available for California's taps and irrigation systems in the months to come.

Even before the governor's order on Wednesday, that supply wasn't looking good. Statewide, snow surveys were at about 5 percent of their average for the start of April, according to the California Department of Water Resources.

"This year looks like the lowest snow pack on record going back 70-plus years for many snow courses," Frank Gehrke, chief of snow surveys with the CDWR, told NBC News last week. Gehrke also conducted the measurement on Wednesday. "And that has very severe ramifications for what's going to flow into the reservoirs come next spring and summer."

The state has been instituting increasingly urgent steps to combat the drought. Gov. Brown declared a state of emergency more than a year ago, saying that "the magnitude of the severe drought conditions presents threats beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment and facilities of any single local government and require the combined forces of a mutual aid region or regions to combat." Late last month, he signed emergency legislation to fast-track $1 billion for drought relief and water conservation projects.

Euro on Track for Worst Quarter...Ever!

Friends, I absolutely HAD to post this headline that appeared this morning front and center on Google News.  Check it out!!  It even includes the ... (dot, dot, dot) before the word "ever".

Euro on track for worst quarter…ever

The euro is seen clocking up its biggest quarterly decline at the end of March since its launch in 1999—and could fall even further over the coming months.

The currency, which is used by the 19 countries in the euro zone, continued to decline on Tuesday, reaching $1.0718. It has fallen over 11 percent against the U.S. dollar since the start of the year, putting it on track for its steepest-ever quarterly decline.

The currency's losses have been driven by the launch of the European Central (ECB)'s 1 trillion euro ($1.2 billion) quantitative easing program in March. Asset purchases by the ECB increase the supply of euros in the monetary system, pushing the currency's price lower.

But a weaker euro is not necessarily a bad thing. The central bank hopes that by keeping money "cheap" it will spur companies and individuals to spend and borrow more, spurring inflation from record lows. And a lower euro can also provide a boost to the region's exporters, as it makes their products cheaper on the global market.

The euro has also been hit by expectations that the Federal Reserve could soon raise U.S. interest rates from record lows, which have pushed up the dollar.

Given the euro's decline, pundits have been debating if—or when—it could reach parity with the U.S. dollar. This last occurred in 2002, and before that in 1999, at the launch of the euro.

There can be no doubt that the paper-money and fiat currency which has now taken over the entire world is a wobbly tower.  The U.S. financial markets are choppy and seem to be given over to wild fluctuations, the oil market fell to a level that we thought we would NEVER see again, the Central Bankers of the world are waving their magic wands and casting spells hoping their con-game doesn't get discovered and the European Union may be in the very process of coming apart.

"But Dennis, this is the way things ALWAYS have been!  The more things change the more they stay the same!"

Sorry, but your'e wrong.  We are living for the first time in HUMAN HISTORY where information travels around the globe at the speed of light and currency, wealth and confidence can flow in and out of a country at the speed of light.

Indulge me on this point for a few more moments...think about it....100 years ago if you were planting wheat in ND pulling a drill behind your horse and a bomb went off at the headquarters of Nestle Foods in Switzerland....what would that mean to you in ND?

Well first off it would be some weeks before a ship would arrive in America to tell someone and then it may be weeks before the news reaches you in ND...and then take weeks more if you actually decided to act on that information.

Today the same farmer is sitting in his tractor planting wheat and his SmartPhone goes off and tells him a bomb went off at Nestle Foods 30 seconds ago.  Without getting off his tractor he goes to his E*Trade account and sells all the stock he owns in Nestle...and within seconds of the bomb going off the capital is beginning to leave the company and their stock begins an emotional slide.

So clearly we are living in times that have NEVER been possible until recent years.  And while it can be great to have this information flow....the Bible says a day is coming when the financial markets will be destroyed in an hour...

"In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!"  Revelation 18:17

Up until a few years ago, Bible pundits couldn't figure out how that could be possible....now we know how it could happen....at the speed of light.

America Now 25% Atheists or Agnostics

Barna research has recently released some new troubling, yet not surprising, information.

Barna Group has released its 2015 study on the state of atheism in America, and has revealed that one in four unchurched adults in the country now identify as atheists or agnostics. The study also found that rejection of the Bible and lack of trust in the church are two main reasons why people are turning away from faith.

The study was focused on those who have not attended church within the past six months, and found that the majority of such people identify as non-practicing Christians. One in four, or 25 percent, however, were classed as skeptics, which Barna defines as people who "either do not believe God exists (atheists) or are not sure God exists, but are open to the possibility (agnostics)."

Of that number, nearly one-third said that they have never attended a Christian church service in their lives.

Barna found that the three main reasons people decide not to believe in God stem from rejection of the Bible; lack of trust in the local church; and the "cultural reinforcement of a secular worldview."

"Skeptics dismiss the idea that the Bible is Holy or supernatural in any way. Two-thirds contend that it is simply a book of well-known stories and advice, written by humans and containing the same degree of authority and wisdom as any other self-help book," the report said.

It added that the other one-third believe that the Bible is either a historical document that contains "the unique but not God-inspired accounts of events that happened in the past," or do not really know what to make of the Bible.

The group explained that today's skeptics, much like their counterparts two decades ago, are defined by their denial and doubts about God's existence. Their demographics have been changing considerably, however.

As other studies have also found, younger people are more likely to be skeptics than older people. Barna says that today, 34 percent of all skeptics are younger than 30.

The statistics also showed that half of all skeptics have a college degree, and that many more women today are joining their ranks — only 16 percent of skeptics in 1993 were women, but by 2013 that number grew to 43 percent.

Kinnaman added in his statement: "Figuring out how to effectively engage skeptics is difficult. One of the unexpected results we uncovered is the limited influence of personal relationships on skeptics. They are considerably less relational and less engaged in social activities than the average American. Christians for whom 'ministry is about relationships' may be disappointed when they find that many skeptics are not as enamored of relational bonds as are those who are already a part of church life."

"But in giving his followers the Great Commission, Jesus didn't mention anything about doing what is easy. New levels of courage and clarity will be required to connect beyond the Christianized majority."

Barna reached out to 23,000 churched and unchurched adults for the study, and found that for each survey of 1,000 people, the estimated maximum sampling error was plus or minus 3.1 percent at the 95 percent confidence level.

No doubt the Catholic church and it's problems involving thousands of pedophiles and homosexual perverts has much to do with Americans no longer trusting the church.  Think about it....would you send your 11 yr old boy on a camping trip with Father Thomas?  If you answered no, then by Barna's definition you no longer trust "the church".

Of course the other reasons would include the millions of college kids we send off to colleges across the country to study under atheist professors.  When they get done with college MILLIONS are of the belief that what they learned in Sunday School (if they even went) can now be relegated to the same place Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny live.

And finally, the blame can be laid squarely at the feet of millions of parents....most of whom have little or no working knowledge of the Bible and were totally incapable of passing on the confidence that the Bible can be trusted as an answer for ANYTHING we need while traveling in this flesh body wandering around on this Satan-filled earth.

But take heart Christians!!  Even if the Bible and the Gospel message are dying in America they are growing with leaps and bounds in places all across Africa, the Middle East (Iran specifically) and China!

"Even the gates of hell" can't tear down the story of Jesus Christ and the salvation that He alone came to give us!!

But yet, I must admit that it is hard to watch America fall into the lost abyss....where we will soon join the ranks of atheist-Europe and join them in their Post-Christian wallow.

Indiana Signs Law

The LGBT mafia is coming after Indiana after the Governor there signed the "religious freedom" law.

I believe the lawmakers there were trying to insert some protection for churches who refuse to marry gay people.  I also believe they were trying to offer some protection to private businesses to refuse certain customers.  I'm guessing this had something to do with the bakery owners from Oregon who refused to participate in a gay wedding celebration and the business has since had to shut down.

Within minutes the LGBT mafia was calling for boycotts of the state and some businesses announced they would start to put their business someplace else besides Indiana...and today the backlash continues.

Indiana's top two Republican legislators will push for an update to the state's controversial "religious freedom" law, the pair said at a news conference today following a wave of national backlash to the state's newest law.

"Hopefully by doing this we'll put the whole issue to rest," Indiana Senate President Pro Tem David Long told reporters at the State Capitol.

Major corporations, athletes, celebrities and gay-rights activists have lambasted the state's legislature and governor for enacting Senate Bill 101, a "religious freedom" law that states government must clear a higher threshold when enforcing laws that contradict citizens' or corporations' religious beliefs.

Both socially conservative advocates of the bill and pro-gay-rights opponents have said the bill could allow businesses to deny services to gays and lesbians based on their sexual preference. A Christian wedding photographer, for instance, could refuse to photograph a gay wedding by claiming it violated his or her religious beliefs, activists on both sides have said.

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence signed the bill last week, stating in a press conference after he signed it that the law was not meant to promote discrimination.

Indiana State House Speaker Brian Bosma today clarified that the bill was not intended to do that. Bosma called it a "misconception" that the law "allows the denial of services to any Hoosier. It doesn't do that."

Bosma and Long said they will "encourage" their legislative colleagues to pass an update to the bill in the four remaining weeks of their legislative session to specifically address that issue, saying both sides -- supporters and critics alike -- have mischaracterized what the bill would mean for gays and lesbians.

That question has been unclear since Pence signed it into law. In an interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday, Pence repeatedly dodged specific questions on whether the bill could mean denial of services for gays and lesbians, if companies claimed religious grounds for doing so. Pence repeatedly stated the bill was not about discrimination and had been mischaracterized.

Long and Bosma criticized Pence and said his ABC interview prompted them to call the press conference.

Pence "did not answer questions clearly" in that interview, Bosma said. Pointing to their interpretation that the law will not mean denial of services, Long said, of Pence, "It would've been helpful if he said that yesterday."

Major groups and corporations from Apple to Angie's List to the NCAA and the NBA have released statements expressing a range of "concern" and condemnation of the law. Social conservatives like Bob Vander Plaats of the influential Iowa-based group FAMiLY Leader have praised Pence and the law.

The fallout over SB 101 also hangs over the 2016 presidential race, as Pence has said he's considering a run for the GOP nomination and will reportedly finalize his decision sometime this spring.

Similar laws are on the books in other states, including neighboring Illinois. A similar federal law was signed by president Bill Clinton.

I was on Twitter when this all started going off and the liberal/atheists immediately started showing photos of black people sitting at lunch counters in Selma, AL back in the 1960's and comparing the LGBT fight to that of black people.

So I tried to respond with logic to some of these photos....AND I GOT RIPPED TO SHREDS!!

It was actually good fun....it reminded me of a time we had a raccoon caught in a catch-alive trap and if you came too close it would snarl like a mountain lion and snap at you!

I tried to explain to them that being black is a physical trait and was easily seen by all people and easily discriminated against.  I reminded them that no black people have EVER had to "come out of the closet" and explain to their parents, family and friends that they are black....because we can SEE they are black.

LGBT folks, on the other hand, can't be readily seen.  They can ONLY be identified by their behavior....so I tried to make that logical point and suggested they come up with another analogy instead of hijacking the Civil Rights Movement.

I never used foul language and never threw derogatory terms at the atheist/liberals I was engaging...but they almost immediately started throwing them at me.  A..hole and motherfu..er were favorites used by my debate opponents.

Friends, I believe that America is too far gone and it will soon become impossible to elect a Christian to any national office.  What will be the litmus test?  "Do you support gay marriage...yes or no?"  If the candidate says "no" that he believes marriage is a word used ONLY to describe the union between one man and one woman....he will be immediately silenced by the LGBT mafia and the death threats (yes, there are many) will start coming his way immediately.

One Twitter user put up a chart that offered 10 similarities between Christian Bible believers and ISIS.  He said in the caption that it is getting harder and harder to tell the difference between Christians and ISIS.  He had lots of supporters giving him the THUMBS UP on that comment.

Jesus said that the world will hate us because it hated Him first.  But I am simply amazed at how quickly the hatred of Christ-followers have come to America.  To me this is simply more evidence that Satan and his minions are behind the perversion that is LGBT.
