Nate May's Prius is loaded down with water. The back is filled with boxes, each holding three one-gallon jugs that he just bought at Walmart. He and other volunteers are driving around Charleston, W.V., dropping off the jugs to people who have contacted his ad hoc group, the West Virginia Clean Water Hub. It's paid for with donations. "There are a lot of people this has put in a difficult bind. Some of them can't get out, some of them are elderly, some of them — it's just too much of a financial burden," May says. "We just take them...

When the disciples returned after Jesus had sent them out to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead and the cast out devils. He asked them two significant questions. One was, “Who do men say that I the Son of man am?” The other, “Who do you say that I Am?” The first they immediately answered, that the people thought that Jesus was a prophet like Jeremiah, John the Baptist or even Elijah. This showed how folks viewed of Jesus. Their knowledge of Him was limited to that of Old Testament prophetic ministry, and of course Jesus Christ...

We have a tendency in our society to take our drinking water for granted and assume that water contamination will be taken care of by our local authorities. We need to change the way we think in this regard because budgets for water treatment are drying up and the use of recycled water is now becoming more common. We can no longer just think of water as a gift from Mother Nature that will always be there when we need it, but rather as an industry and commodity which needs investment! Here is one way how the contamination in drinking...

How safe is your tap drinking water? it’s possible pesticides or contaminants could be flowing from your faucet. Public water systems, tap waters are tested and regulated by the government. By law, municipalities have to test the water and report to consumers once a year. They can test once a year, four times a year, sometimes less. They test for 90 contaminants like copper, arsenic, lead. There is a report that tells you what’s in the water and if it’s dangerous. But they average the results. So if you live in an agricultural area, pesticides in the water spike in...

President Obama sent a clear message to our nation’s children by validating homosexuality and same sex marriage. America’s president made it plain he supports “gay marriage.” This is a reflection on the continued slide into immorality within our nation’s leadership. President Obama needs prayer. His view is just plain wrong and reflects his deepest core values. What a person values is reflected in his or her character. Values define beliefs, kingdoms, cultures, people groups, and purpose. Personal values gather people and personal values divide people. To some Christ is a stumbling stone. To others he is the light of the...

In the October, 2011 issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, Australian researchers report the outcome of a study which suggests site-specific protective effects of various fruits and vegetables against the risk of colorectal cancer. The finding may help explain inconsistent results from other studies which sought to examine the effects of plant foods against the cancer disease. Lin Fritschi, PhD and colleagues at the University of Western Australia compared 918 colorectal cancer patients to 1,021 controls who had no history of the disease. Questionnaires completed by the participants were analyzed for the frequency of consumption of 38...

We eat with our eyes first, don’t we? God made food attractive so we would choose to eat what’s good for us. As you walk into the produce section of your grocery store, you can’t help but notice the beautiful colors of the vegetables and fruits. It’s like a painter’s palette with its rich display of color. Green, red, yellow, purple and orange, with some of those variegated together. It’s a pretty fresh looking sight, but did you know that the colors of your acid/alkaline vegetables and fruits are important to your health. Let’s learn how you can benefit from...

When you find yourself craving a healthy snack on a hot August afternoon, why not reach for something...

Most people and particularly women will tell you that they do not drink enough water. Drinking healthy water is essential to health, beauty and longevity. One can survive without food for 40 days, but ones health will gradually deteriorate without water after two days depending on temperature and amount of body water loss. Moreover, it is not only the kind of water we drink — be it tap water, bottled water or alkaline ionized water — or how much we drink. It is also however, very important when we drink it. Drinking water at the correct time increases its effective...

The state is a collective of men. Going back to the beginning there was only one family, the family of God. There was only one government, the government of God. In the beginning it was God ruling over man. It was only after Cain’s rebellion that the division of kingdoms came into being. Cain refused to be governed by God and left to build the first city-state of man ruling over man secular government. Because man wants to be a god, determining good and evil for themselves, lawlessness in society increases as the god-man rebels against the “rule of law”....

When a nation, any nation turns its back on God freedom is painfully lost. Enslavement is easy when Christians do not understand liberty. To stay free requires resistance. Spiritual resistance belongs to the Spirit led son and daughter that understands how to use the sword of the Spirit against the wiles of the enemy. Christ said, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at...

There are forces in this world that want a one world government, a one world economic system, and a one world religion. The Church must provide answers to socialism and the biblical limitations of the State. Left unchecked socialism leads to a breakdown in society and national serfdom. The answer to socialism is grasping your personal liberty provided by the King of kings and the Lord of lords. When a nation of peoples’ resolve to put first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness they are at once freed from the wickedness of serfdom. Again, these forces want a one...

There are many kinds of war. There are civil, religious, class and the highest of all, spiritual. As we take a moment to pull back the curtain we understand the true warfare is the battle against God fueled by the hatred of Satan. Scripture reveals his wicked heart. “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which dist weaken the nations! For thou has said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon...

For the left-wing radical, deceit, political double-talk, and to lie is part and parcel to gaining the commanding heights and creating a new America. To lie, however, is still sinful. Christ said of the enemy he is a liar and the father of them. Today our Republic is under siege by those of a different spirit. They are lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, and lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God and “the...

Imagine this, U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner read from the U.S. Constitution as he sat onstage for an interview with Politico's Mike Allen at the Newseum in Washington May 25, 2011. Not to uphold the constitution, but to make a case for raising the U.S. national debt limit. A bitter partisanship is escalating between the White House and Congress over raising the national debt ceiling. Republicans want to cut spending, while Democrats and the White House want more government. So the Treasurer to make his point utilizes the U.S. Constitution. Holding up a U.S. Constitution pocket-book to his audience, he...

The United States borrows over 40 percent of every dollar it spends. We now have a whopping $14.3 trillion debt and on a course to double in the next 10 years. Once the most prosperous nation in the world we have become one of the most enslaved. Scripture says, “The rich ruleth over the poor and the borrower is servant to the lender” (Proverbs 22:7). Profaned leaders, worshiping the god of Mammon, have enslaved us through non-Constitutional entitlement programs, wars, waste, bankster fraud, political corruption, and debt. James Madison, architect of the U.S. Constitution, wrote, “History records that the money...

Oftentimes people email me notes saying that we should just pray. I certainly believe in prayer but prayer alone will not stop the battle to destroy our nation. As Christian Americans we must engage the enemy of our souls both spiritually and naturally. The truth is that our nation is in serious trouble and the battle against a demonic fifth column within our country can no longer be ignored. Daniel Webster (1782-1856) warned, “There is no nation on earth powerful enough to accomplish our overthrow. Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention...
