What's up with that???

Dear readers,

Peace and grace to every single one of you in the name of Jesus!

Todays' article will be short! Normally I leave each article posted for a full 7 days because it takes that long for everyone to read and digest the information. Many then respond with comments or questions. I started out by publishing responses to questions but after a short while, I realized that it would take an entire column each week to do that so I transitioned into personal responses, at least for the time being. Also, for reasons I will explain later, this article will only be on top of the blog for three days.

This entire venture has been an extreme learning curve for me since my entire 25 years of ministry has been as a church and missions pastor. I am very used to speaking to live audiences and leaning on my pulpit with promises of "I will close my message any minute now"! Did you notice that pastors always seem to say that---at least three times during any one message? Well, what can I say, it is the ole nature of the beast. We just never seem to run out of words, but I am always careful to REALLY close when people start snoring and falling off the pews!

I am somewhat frustrated because there are so many things happening in the world these days that I could literally write a new article every single day and still have more articles on the "back burner". Obviously I cannot do that, nor would you have time to read them all but I do realize that changes need to take place soon and that is the reason for the next paragraph or two.

We need a volunteer that is a real expert in computer programing, website design and Google analytics. Also someone that is advanced in Apple computers and can help us take this ministry to new levels worldwide. The truly great news is that this expert volunteer must be willing to relocate to our area of Mexico for at least a month or two, take care of their own expenses, work tirelessly with little thanks (except ours of course) and patiently show us computer dummies how it all needs to be done! The other good news is that I will double your pay each month. Of course that still amounts to exactly ZERO but after all it is the thought that counts!

If you are a person that really does know what you are doing in the computer world and have a true love for helping our Lord and Savior build his Kingdom in these last days, then please contact me SOON! Small free housing is available for one person or a mature adult couple. Pastoral recommendation required.

NOW, I want to personally thank all of you who take the time each week to read my articles. The Lord has increased you in numbers as well as countries which now (Praise the Lord) numbers 27. Recently joining us are folks in Fiji, Ireland, Australia and Singapore. Thanks also to my steadfast few in The United Kingdom, United States, South Africa, Liberia, Nigeria, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Finland, Germany, Russia, Israel, Romania, France, Austria, Nepal, India, Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, Philippines, and Belize.

So, where do I want to go from here? Obviously every country on planet earth and most particularly within the Middle East. Also we hope to cover all of South America with a Spanish edition, reach out to more of the African Nations and Europe plus begin video presentations on YouTube.

That however will require a great deal more equipment so we truly appreciate donations coming in from either direct mail or credit card authorizations. By the way, no one in this ministry draws a salary and our overhead is minimal. Money received is used for ministry expenses.

Our immediate schedule involves leaving today for a one week trip to Northern California. Then back to work until we fly to Israel on October 27 where we will lead a tour group for the first 15 days and spend the remainder of two extra weeks in meetings and visiting other ministries based in the Holy Land.

This short article you are now reading will be replaced just three days from now and we will continue the series on Matthew 24 beginning with false christ's as listed in verse 5. In the meantime I would like to make a few comments on the Iranian Nuclear plant that is currently being covered by over 200 news sources worldwide. "WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?

The Russian sponsored plant is in fact now being loaded with Uranium rods, the expected Israeli attack did not take place, the world is still waiting for the "other shoe to drop" and we are all one step closer to a nuclear bomb in the hands of religious extremists. Way to go world leaders! Frankly your collective lack of responsible leadership and failure to avert a crisis that could begin a world war 3 type event is just simply amazing to me.

In the meantime the Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea, Arabian Sea, Gulf of Oman and Persian Gulf are all literally BRISTLING with heavily armed NUCLEAR war ships from countries that hate each other. Iran is receiving in the next two weeks, 80 TONS of Uranium for the new reactor---all the while insisting it is for PEACEFUL intentions and the production of electricity. Of course at this very moment (no kidding--I am watching it on T.V. as I write this), Iran just proudly announced its new strategic bomber called---betcha can't guess? They have named it "the Ambassador of death"! What's Up With that President Ahmadinejad? And you expect us to believe that your reactor is for peaceful purposes?

Hey, no problem but then of course we have another rogue State (North Korea) that seeks world domination through nuclear power; Both Pakistan and India who are mortal enemies, both armed with Nuclear missiles. The United States is rapidly pulling out of Iraq (right next door to Iran), the Taliban and Al Qaeda are becoming manifestly stronger against U.S. and Allied forces in Afghanistan. There are at least two full on dictators in the Southern American hemisphere, not to mention the meltdown of the entire worlds economy as we speak. Then we have unprecedented earthquakes, massive tsunami's and flooding on several continents. China is rapidly building it's military (anyone remember the Bible speaking about a future 200 million man army marching out of the East?) and several heavily armed terror organization trying to provoke full on war with Israel!!!!!!! Well, other than those little things everything is just hunky dunky.

I could go on and totally ruin your day but the bottom line folks is that we REALLY are in the end times and it behooves us to know what is going on. And with that I will leave you to think about it for the next three days. The next article will include comments from my friend pastor Gary Boggs about the steady and extremely rapid decline of the greatest Nation the world has ever known---The United States of America.

Until then,

God bless you all in Jesus name.

Pastor Rance.
