Just saw an interview with the widower of a woman who apparently died from a lung disease supposedly caused by a diet drug produced by Wyeth (I didn't hear the words "Fen-Phen" ...so I'm not sure if it's related. Anyway, the story indicated that the judgement awarded was $1 billion - which far exceeds Texas' cap on punative damages.

PROPHECY ABOUT UPCOMING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION (Proverbs 21:1, Romans 13:1-5, 1 Peter 2:13,14) ***SPIRITUAL GIFTS ARE GIVEN BY GOD FOR A SPECIFIC REASON AND PURPOSE. MY MAIN GIFT IS THAT OF EVANGELISM. HOWEVER, WHILE I DO NOT CALL MYSELF A PROPHET, GOD SPEAKS THROUGH ME OFTEN TO SHARE HIS WORD WITH THOSE WHO WILL HEAR. I SPENT MUCH OF LAST TUESDAY NIGHT (3/2/04) IN PRAYER, AND WHILE I HAD NO PLAN TO SAY ANYTHING OF THAT TIME ALONE WITH GOD, THIS IS WHAT GOD CLEARLY SHOWED ME. I AM SIMPLY BEING OBEDIENT TODAY TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU. PLEASE PRAY OVER...

Stricter Judgment "Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we shall incur a stricter judgment." James 3:1Scripture singles out people in positions of leadership for greater accountability. You notice, when reading the Old Testament, that during the theocracy God judged the nation based on the behavior of the people: "And the children did evil in the sight of the Lord." [422] During the monarchy, God judged the nation based on the behavior of the king: "Ahaziah did evil in the sight of the Lord and provoked to anger the Lord God of Israel." [423]...

A Soldier's Judgement from his God (My Title) To all who serve, or love or care for those who do... The soldier stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shining Just as brightly as his brass. Step forward now, you soldier, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To My Church have you been true? The soldier squared his shoulders And said, No Lord, I guess I ain't Because those of us who carry guns Can't always be a saint I've had to work most...

The US intends to withhold part of a $9bn loan guarantee package for Israel because of its actions in the occupied Palestinian territories, US officials said on Monday. US officials refused to say how much would be withheld from the total approved by Congress to help Israel get through its economic crisis. If the amount proved to be significant then the Bush administration, faced with a collapse of the Middle East "road map", would be taking the first concrete action to express its disapproval of certain actions by Israel. Officials would not specify why the US intended to make the...

Standing before the Washington press corps on Monday, US State Department Spokesman Philip Reeker set a new departmental record for moral cowardice. Speaking just 24 hours after Hizbullah terrorists killed an Israeli teenager by firing indiscriminately across the Lebanese border, Reeker could not bring himself to explicitly condemn this wanton act of murder. Instead, in remarks that dare I say it reeked of moral relativism, Reeker stressed it was incumbent upon all parties, Israel included, not to inflame tensions in the region. "We have been in contact with the Israelis," he said, "and with the other parties, with Lebanon and...

The word appeasement has been on my mind this past week. I believe this is because the United States continues its attempt to appease the Arab interests pertaining to Israel’s covenant land. The Merriam Webster dictionary provides one definition for appeasement: –“to buy off (an aggressor) by concessions usually at the sacrifice of principles.” This definition is right on! Isn’t it ironic that as the Bush Administration continues in its effort to “appease” the Arab nations, events continue to worsen weekly here in the United States. We have weekly terror warnings, while we are becoming more obsessed daily with our...

In the book that John McTernan and I have written, “Israel: The Blessing or the Curse”, we identified 34 significant same day events when the United States pushed on Israel to give up her covenant land or made major public statements pertaining to the covenant land of Israel. These events included hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, major stock market corrections, tropical storms and other events. These were some of the largest and most significant in U.S. history. Yesterday, as President Bush’s weekend radio address (included below) was about to be aired nationwide on the U.S. battle on terrorism and his vision of...
