Christianity and race relations go hand in hand. God loves all races and as Christians we should have the same values. There is no room for racism in the faith. Christianity was built on the principles of love, hope and unity in Christ, regardless of color. When people focus on color, it is as a means to divide, when the love of God unites us in the faith.

Christians in the Middle East, have come under attack by some, not all, Muslims in the region, who are engaging in religious discrimination. The religious persecution in the Middle East is manifesting itself in the form of violence against Christians, which is completely unacceptable. People should have the right to practice their faith without fear of persecution or violence.
President Obama has pledged $3 billion dollars in U.S. taxpayer money to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, while attacks against Christians continue unabated. I for one do not want my tax money given to those that would harass, persecute and engage in violence against Christians. I am all for democracy in Egypt and celebrate with the nation in its victories, but the government must show fairness and tolerance for Egyptian Christians and Jews.
U.S. President Barack Obama
If U.S. tax dollars are to be given in such great number and during an unprecedented financial crisis in America, it should be to provide food, clothing and shelter to Egypt's poor. Not to an organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, who "supports terrorism" according to the FBI.
If the violence against Middle Eastern Christians does not desist, the West needs to reconsider the financial aide to offending governments and provide asylum to those being persecuted based on their religion with the possibility of death.

After President Barack Obama's Palestinian love letter this month, demanding the nation of Israel return to unsafe 1967 borders, influential Jewish publications are encouraging American Jews not to vote for him in the 2012 election. Jewish Americans are being encouraged to, "Help elect a Republican president."
There are millions of Jewish voters in America and it will not bode well for any candidate losing their vote. It's gonna be Chicago 2012 for Obama without the Jewish vote. Not to mention, Christians aren't amused with Obama's pronouncement against Israel, another influential voting demographic.

Israel can’t trust Obama
Published: 05.29.11, 18:11 - Op-ed: President Obama’s recent speeches highlighted his affinity for the Palestinian cause...By now, most objective observers would agree that Obama‘s heart and sympathy lie with the Palestinian cause and if elected to a second term he will work hard to be the “father” of the Palestinian state at Israel’s expense. Israel’s friends, Jews and non-Jews alike, need to work very hard during the next 17 months to help elect a Republican president who will be Pro-Israel first.

Retired New York transit worker, Robert Fitzpatrick, has wasted $140,000 in advertising money, for a series of ads insisting the world is going to come to an end on May 21, 2011. The ads state, "Global Earthquake! The Greatest Ever - Judgment Day: May 21." Judgment Day is not May 21, 2011.
I wish people would not proclaim such things and in the name of God. The Bible does speak of a day where the world as we know it will end by fire, popularly believed to be an asteroid, thus creating it anew. However, the Bible does not indicate the actual date of the event, but gives an indication of the general time period in history, based on world events that are to happen prior to this cosmic event. This is not it.
Having written that, I do believe a massive earthquake is coming to Los Angeles in the near future that is going to cause catastrophic, unprecedented damage and many deaths. I do believe it will be stronger on the Richter scale than the recent earthquakes in Haiti, Japan and Spain. It was also an imprudent idea for the state to allow people to build on such potent faults, due to the seismic shifts that occur on them. One of the most potent, San Andreas, runs right under what is now downtown Los Angeles, among other places, which is ram packed with skyscrapers. Skyscrapers and very potent earthquakes do not mix.
There is another school of thought, based on the Mayan calendar, which allegedly states, the world will end in 2012 (you know, like that stupid Sony movie). However, I am of the belief, the world will not end in 2012. I do however, believe 2012 will be a turning point for the world that will produce many events, both stunningly good and shockingly bad. But time will go on beyond next year.
The purpose of Bible prophecy is to be a source of reassurance to believers, that God is who He says He is and knows, "The Beginning from the end." God is the Creator and knows the past and the future with absolute certainty, a gift He originated and shared in part with a few prophets, such as Joseph and Daniel in the Bible.
During their time, people believed the words of the prophets, because they were able to accurately predict the future, something only God would know and could share - as God is everywhere and knows everything, when time began and when it will renew. He created time.
In closing, God wants each person to change their unethical ways, place their faith in Christ and live a good and decent life. He wants you to live each day as if the last, not try to make it the last.
