Are Millions of College Kids Mentally Disabled?

Depression, anxiety, ADHD have infected huge percentages of college kids.  What is going on?  Has the liberal agenda of godlessness in our public schools taken root and now hopelessness is the outcome?

The Journal report includes just one sentence addressing causes: “Psychologists have many theories to explain the rise in mental-health diagnoses among college-age students, from social-media habits to less stigma around mental illness.”

So what’s really going on?

One online report, “The top mental health challenges facing students,” cites depression, anxiety, eating disorders, addiction and suicide as the top issues, and the American Psychological Association, in its “Campus Mental Health” report, bemoans rising levels of “sexual assault and self-injury” and the need to “develop suicide prevention programs.” But there’s not much exploration of causes.

Moreover, even when causes are addressed, the giant elephant in the room is almost always ignored.

Thus, one psychiatrist, writing an op-ed headlined “1 in 5 college students have anxiety or depression. Here’s why,” cites the usual suspects – “excessive social media use,” “mobile phone addiction,” “cyberbullying,” the “rising cost of college” (leading to “dread of debt”) and other stressors. To his credit, he also revealingly cites the “skyrocket[ing] … number of requests I receive from high school and college students and their parents for stimulants such as Ritalin and Adderall” to help junior perform better on “major exams, such as finals, the MCAT or the LSAT”

12 Indications Another Global Economic Crisis Could Be Around the Corner

Most of us remember how terrifying the financial collapse of 2007-2009 was.  But now almost 10 years have passed and most people have probably forgotten how and why the Great Recession all came about.

So did we really FIX anything from 2009?  Or have we just papered over it by demanding that the Federal Reserve DO SOMETHING...and their answer was to lower interest rates to zero and created trillions of dollars out of thin air?

There have not been so many trouble signs for the global economy in a very long time.  Analysts are sounding the alarm about junk bond defaults, the smart money is getting out of stocks at an astounding rate, mortgage rates are absolutely skyrocketing, and Europe is already facing a full blown financial meltdown.  

Of course expectations that another global economic crisis will happen among the general population are probably at an all-time low right now, but the reality of the matter is that we are probably closer to a new one erupting than at any point since the last one in 2008.  

Since the last financial crisis our long-term debt problems have just continued to grow, and there are many that believe that the next crisis will actually be far worse than what we experienced ten years ago.

So how bad are things at this moment?

The following are 12 indications that the next major global economic crisis could be just around the corner...

#1 The "smart money" is getting out of stocks at a rate that we haven't seen since just before the financial crisis of 2008.

#2 Moody's is warning that a "particularly large wave" of junk bond defaults is coming.  And as I have written about so many times before, junk bonds are often an early warning indicator for a major financial crisis.

#3 According to the FDIC, a closely watched category known as "assets of problem banks" more than tripled during the first quarter of 2018.  What that means is that some really big banks are now officially in "problem" territory.

#4 U.S. Treasury bonds are having the worst start to a year since the Great Depression.

#5 Mortgage interest rates just hit a 7 year high, and they have been rising at the fastest pace in nearly 50 years.  This is going to be absolutely crippling for the real estate and housing industries.

#6 Retail industry debt defaults have hit a record high in 2018.

#7 We are on pace for the worst year for retail store closings ever.

#8 The two largest economies on the entire globe are on the verge of starting an international trade war.

#9 The 9th largest economy in the world, Italy, is in the midst of yet another financial meltdown.  In fact, this one appears to be the worst yet, and there are fears that it could spread to other areas of the eurozone.

#10 Italian banking stocks crashed really hard this week.

#11 Italian two year bond yields are the highest that they have been since the crisis of 2014.

#12 German banking giant Deutsche Bank just announced that it will be cutting another 7,000 jobs as it "seeks to turn the page on years of losses".  Those of you that have followed my work for a long time know that I have written extensively about Deutsche Bank, and it really is amazing that it has survived for this long.  If Deutsche Bank fails in 2018, it will essentially be a "Lehman Brothers moment" for the entire planet.

The mainstream media in the United States almost entirely ignores Europe, but I believe that what is going on over there is the key right now.

Italy is a financial basket case, and Europe isn't going to be able to handle a complete and total Italian financial collapse.  If you will remember, Europe could barely handle what happened in Greece, and the Italian economy is many times the size of Greece.

The can has been kicked down the road several times before on the Italian crisis, but now we are getting to the point where it simply won't be able to be kicked down the road any further.

And once things start unraveling over in Europe, we will be deeply affected in the United States as well.  The global financial system is more interconnected than ever before, and at this point we are even more vulnerable than we were just prior to the crisis of 2008.

When this thing breaks loose, it won't matter who is in the White House, who is in Congress or who is running the Federal Reserve.

When this bubble bursts there is nothing that anyone will be able to do to stop it.

Global central banks have been able to buy a few extra years of time by engaging in unprecedented levels of intervention, but now they are almost out of ammunition and events are beginning to escalate at a very frightening pace.

We shall see if they can pull another rabbit out of a hat in 2018, but I wouldn't count on it...

As followers of Christ we know we are supposed to hold our wealth (Mammon) very loosely.  When you realize how much smoke and how many mirrors actually comprise our temporary wealth, it makes it much easier to fall out of love with it.

"The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil."

Yep!

The Bible also says that during the Great Tribulation that the entire financial system is going to collapse in an hour.

For the last 2000 years people have been reading Revelation and wondering how in the world that could possibly come true when China was on the other side of the world and had NOTHING to do with America's financial system.

But today we know that the entire system is linked together.  We also know that the entire system is based on faith and confidence.  In what?  In the governments that print the money!  So when Venezuela comes apart their money becomes almost worthless...which we are witnessing today!

When the smoke and mirrors are finally revealed...the system will implode.

We have no idea if there is going to be another huge crash before the rapture or if false prosperity is going to continue until the final collapse during the Great Tribulation.

The Jesus Mentioned in Islam is a Lie

As fewer and fewer folks know their Bibles, it becomes easier for our enemy, Satan, to insert lies into the church.  One massive whopper lie now believed by many “Christians” is that Allah and God are the same entity and that Muslims are our brothers in faith because the Koran mentions Jesus.

“That they said (in boast), ‘We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah’;- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not.” (4:157, Yusif Ali).

If we confess with our tongues and believe in our hearts that Jesus Christ is Lord and that God raised him from the dead, we will be saved.  The Koran says Jesus never died...so there can be no resurrection.

Friends, without a ressurection you may as well go do something else because our faith would be worthless.

Conclusion;  Islam is a lie from the Father of All Lies and is the only religion fabricated with the sole purpose of destroying another religion, Christianity.

Barrage of Missiles Fired From Gaza

I have an app on my iPhone called RED ALERT.  It's a free app and will send you a text every time a missile is launched into Israel.  Of course the Israeli's have the same app so they can know if they need to seek shelter...but I have it just because I'm an Israel watcher.

This morning the app started going off and has been going off ever since.

It would appear that the missiles have been coming from Gaza.  Some rumors are claiming that ISIS is claiming it has something to do with it.

GAZA-ISRAEL BORDER (Reuters) - Palestinian militants launched their heaviest barrages against Israel since the 2014 Gaza war on Tuesday and Israeli aircraft struck back, in a surge of fighting after weeks of border violence.

Three Israeli soldiers were wounded by shrapnel, the military said, after dozens of mortar bombs and rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip, triggering warning sirens in southern Israel throughout the day. There were no immediate reports of Palestinian casualties.

Israel has long said it will not tolerate such attacks, and its warplanes hit more than 30 targets belonging to armed groups, including a cross-border tunnel under construction, the military said. It accused Gaza’s dominant Hamas movement and the pro-Iran Islamic Jihad group of launching the salvoes.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the barrages, which came after Islamic Jihad vowed to take revenge for the killing of three of its members on Sunday by Israeli tank shelling.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened his security chiefs and Intelligence Minister Israel Katz said the country was “at the closest point to the threshold of war” since the seven-week conflict with Palestinian militants four years ago.

“If the firing (from Gaza) does not stop, we will have to escalate our responses and it could lead to a deterioration of the situation,” Katz said on Army Radio.

Why do Bible-believing Christians love Israel so much?  Why do we pray for that nation and pray for it's people? 

Because we are thankful that they (the Jews) have delivered the Bible to us and delivered the Messiah-Jesus to us.  We also are aware that many, many prophecies will be fulfilled using the nation of Israel.

"I will bless those nations who bless Israel and I will curse those nations who curse Israel."

Moderate Muslim Wants to "Fix This" Mess Within Islam

The problem with telling lies is that you have to tell more and more lies to cover up the initial lie you told.

Witness Islam and the massive amount of proven lies that this religion expects it's followers to believe.

"The promises God made to Abraham flow through Ismael." (whopper lie)  That's why the Bible clearly has God calling himself the "God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob" because God new liars would surface in the future and tell lies.

"The Jews never had a Temple on the Temple mount!" (huge lie)  So how come they keep finding massive amounts of evidence that the Jews have been on that land since King David 3000 years ago?

"Islam is a religion of peace founded by a peaceful man named Muhammad." (massive lie)  The people of ISIS, HAMAS, HEZBOLLAH and the other 45 Muslim terrorist organizations are actually acting much like Muhammad acted....he killed anyone who disagreed with his vision of Islam or he subjected them to slavery or 2nd class citizenship if they refused to convert to Islam.

In an interview with Sky News Arabia on April 20, Egyptian intellectual Dr. Khaled Montaser referred to the "scientific-miraculous" nature of the Quran (i'jaz) as a "great delusion" and "an anesthetic or a nice sedative" for the Arabs and the Muslims, making them feel superior: "we are superior," "we are the best," "we are the greatest."

Montaser, head of the Dermatology Department of the Suez Canal Authority, linked this "delusion" to the prevalence of Islamic terrorists. "As Muslims," he said, "we pay a steep price for this. We are at the tail end of all the nations."

"Among the names of all those who detonated explosive belts in Europe or America," he went on, "one cannot find a single Hindu or Buddhist name. They always have Muslim names. Furthermore, how come Muslims always oppose modernity?"

"Our interpretation," he went on, "is in conflict with modernity..."

"They insist on screaming their religion out loud: 'I am a Muslim!' They are always screaming that they are the only ones in possession of the truth, that they are the best, the only ones to be spared the Hellfire. They carry these notions with them wherever they go... Where does extremism come from? People, we must admit -- as our president has often said -- that there are elements in our books of heritage that incite to this. We must admit this... As a thinker trying to fix this, I must find this shocking. The reality is bitter. As Muslims, we pay a steep price for this. We are at the tail end of all the nations."

Sixteen years ago, Dr. Montaser published a book in Arabic entitled, "Wahm al-I'jaz al-Ilmi" ("The Illusion of the Scientific-Miraculous Nature [of the Quran]"), in which he called for purging from Islam all materials that contradict scientific findings.

Montaster attributed the attempt to read science into the Quran stems from feeling of inferiority that Muslims feel in relation to the West.. "The Arab individual is paralyzed," he said.

"He cannot walk from his bedroom to the kitchen and from there to the street without a fatwa from his cleric. 'What should I do? How should I sleep? How should I have sex with my wife?' And so on and so forth. He is constantly in need of someone to reassure him. But the scientist cannot provide such reassurance."

Because Muslims, he said, claim that "every new invention has already been mentioned in our Quran and the Hadith [collection of Muhammad's sayings]," the Quran is God's unaltered word and contains "scientific" facts and data that have been there for all eternity and have only been discovered by researchers in modern times. Therefore, the Quran's miracles will never cease, and its message is universal, for all humankind throughout the ages.

This combining of science and miracles helps Muslims defend against any treatment of the Quran as merely a historical document, the way in which some scholars view the Bible. While Muslims like to quote any work that highlights the historical, rather than divine, nature of the Bible, they always say the opposite about the Quran.

This morning I heard on CBS News that Belgium had some type of explosion that authorities were calling terrorism.

I yelled at the TV, "What kind of terrorists were they?  PETA terrorists?  Lutheran terrorists?  Buddhist terrorists?"

Of course neither the TV nor CBS News gave an answer...but we know without hearing that it was a MUSLIM TERRORIST who probably screamed "Allah Akbar!" before blowing up.

Let's continue to pray for these lost Muslims who have been so deluded by Satan that they are on a fast path to hell.  Let's pray that the Holy Spirit puts salve in their eyes so they can see and unstops their ears so they can hear.

Otherwise it only takes 10% of the Muslims (100,000,000 people) to make a terrorist mess of the entire world.
