Gun control or controlling the availability of gun as a weapon of defense is one of the most contentious laws in modern times. Gun control advocates want to severely restrict the availability of a gun to the citizens of America. Does it mean that the citizens of America are too casual or ill tempered that they will not be able to handle a gun? The answer is no. The groups who have been advocating the gun control norms have always … Continue reading →
It’s your responsibility and yours alone to prepare yourself and your family for emergencies. There’s no escaping the fact that everyone is at risk. Earthquakes and hurricanes do not discriminate. There are also the everyday disasters that you hear about on the news, such fires and floods that wipe out the home of an entire family and cause serious injuries or death to those who were not prepared. And, now, we’re faced with a potential worldwide pandemic breaking out of … Continue reading →
Continuity of government (COG) is the principle of establishing defined procedures that allow a government to continue its essential operations in case of a catastrophic event such as nuclear war. Nov. 18, 2011 – FEMA Continuity of Government plan FEMA documents that confirm information received from DoD sources that show military involvement in a FEMA-led takeover within the United States under partially-classified Continuity of Government (COG) plans. It involves not only operations for the relocation of COG personnel and key … Continue reading →

Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. [Mark 16:15] This is our walking orders as Christians. To share the gospel with everyone. Regardless of our place in society, the country we live in, or whatever our circumstances… we are told to preach … Continue reading →
Like the loving parent who gently shakes a child to wake them up, God is shaking the world today in an attempt to wake us from our slumber. And like the child who doesn’t wake up immediately, the shaking becomes a bit more firm and serious. As America and, for that matter – the world continues in its slumber, the shaking becomes stronger and more severe. Our tallest buildings have been toppled. Our shorelines have been battered, and a major … Continue reading →
In our society, domestic violence is a crime, duels are outlawed, employers are required to provide a harassment and discrimination free environment, animal abuse is punishable and a person can be held in custody for psychological evaluation, if found destroying trees. The reason for these laws and practices are because we want to keep our society safe and guarantee the basic human rights for everyone. It is generally understood that violence is inhuman and uncivilized, and nothing is solved by … Continue reading →
A study reported in ScienceDaily reveals how atmospheric ions, produced by the energetic cosmic rays raining down through the atmosphere, helps the growth and formation of cloud condensation nuclei — the seeds necessary for forming clouds in the atmosphere. When the ionization in the atmosphere changes, the number of cloud condensation nuclei changes affecting the properties of clouds. More cloud condensation nuclei mean more clouds and a colder climate, and vice versa. Since clouds are essential for the amount of … Continue reading →

Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you … Continue reading →
Online Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) training is a good accomplishment for any healthcare skilled to have under their belt.

By becoming familiar with the HIPPA regulations you are going to keep from exploiting any of their personal information. By supplying yourself or your employees with on-line training … Continue reading →
By Chuck Baldwin July 9, 2008 I ask the indulgence of my non-churched readers, as this column is specifically designed to challenge the hearts and minds of professing believers. The Old Testament prophet Jeremiah faced a generation that is very similar to the one we face today, I am afraid. Political and corporate leaders had given themselves over to corruption and duplicity. The fundamental underpinnings that founded and supported the nation were being dismantled. And the spiritual leaders seemed to … Continue reading →
Pragmatism is more concerned with what ‘works’ than with what is true. In the absence of objective truth, how are we to decide which of two possible actions is preferable? The answer is provided by the only philosophical system made in America: pragmatism which maintains that the value of ideas is determined by their consequences. Developed by the 19th-century American philosophers Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, and others, this philosophical doctrine holds that the test of the truth of a … Continue reading →
Any cursory review of this issue has to conclude that we have to change welfare as we know it. We simply cannot continue to handle this problem as we have in the past. Having established this as a premise, what does the Bible reveal about this critical matter? Can we discharge our responsibilities to the poor by personal charitable action or through supporting the humanitarian (i.e. welfare) policies of the State? President Lyndon Johnson’s “war on poverty” is now into … Continue reading →
Preparedness used to be a word reserved for ‘conspiracy theorists’. People would think you were a little strange if you were ready at a moment’s notice to evacuate with an emergency kit, or if you stored extra food and water in case the stores shut down due to a natural disaster. That’s no longer the case. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, state emergency management agencies, the American Red Cross, and other leading government and non-profit agencies are consistently delivering the … Continue reading →
The purpose of FEMA is to coordinate the response to a disaster which occurs in the United States and which overwhelms the resources of local and state authorities.
