German native population shrinking; Islamic influence rising (A Revived Roman Empire?)
A human-rights activist dedicated to debunking the overpopulation myth says even the German government admits that a low birth rate and Islamic immigration may forever change the face of the German nation. The Germans, he says, have nobody to blame but themselves.
German journalist and university lecturer Udo Ulfkotte recently warned that Islam is slowly but surely taking a grip on the European culture. He said more and more institutions are making allowances for Muslims, and even Islamic “sharia” law is beginning to take hold because 40 percent of Germany’s Muslims are convinced the country’s constitution is incompatible with Islam. Steve Mosher, president of the Population Research Institute, says while he mourns the loss of Christian Europe, he says the demographic changes there are the result of the fact that two generations ago, Europeans “lost their way.” He contends that their refusal to have children has paved the way for the eventual Islamic domination of the continent. And with a much higher birth rate among Muslims, it is easy how Islamic influence will continue to grow in Germany, he says. “If one people has babies and the other doesn’t, the shift in population can occur in the blink of an eye,” he shares. “The loss of Christian Europe is not being caused by Muslims; it’s being caused by the fact Europeans lost their way.”

U.S. Navy stages biggest show of force in the Persian Gulf since invasion of Iraq (Where is the U.S. in Bible Prophecy?)
American warplanes screamed off two aircraft carriers Tuesday as the U.S. Navy staged its largest show of force in the Persian Gulf since the 2003 invasion of Iraq, launching a mammoth exercise meant as a message to the Iranians. The maneuvers with 15 warships and more than 100 aircraft were sure to heighten tensions with Iran, which has frequently condemned the U.S. military presence off its coast and is in a faceoff with the West over its nuclear program and its capture of a British naval team. The Stennis strike group, with more than 6,500 sailors and marines, entered the Gulf late Monday or early Tuesday along with the guided- missile cruiser USS Antietam, the Navy said. It is the first time two U.S. aircraft carriers have operated in the Gulf since the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq,

Europe claims Israel preparing for war with Syria this summer (Israel - God’s Timepiece)
European officials have been claiming to Syrian leaders the past few weeks Israel is preparing for a military confrontation with Damascus, in some cases providing Syria with inaccurate information, WND has learned. A top source in Syrian President Bashar Assad’s Baath party told WND European leaders visiting Damascus in recent weeks delivered messages stating Israel was taking measures in advance of a large-scale conflict with Syria, including updating battle plans, training reservist soldiers and preparing the home front for missile attacks.
One senior European Union official told Assad the Israeli government instructed its major hospitals not to allow staff to take vacation time during the summer months for fear a conflict will break out during that period, according to the Baath party source.

Parents relying on the church to raise their children instead of doing it themselves (Christian Worldview/Issues)
A youth pastor from Illinois says too many parents are giving spiritual custody of their children to the church. That’s why his church is changing its schedule and procedures in order to make worship more of a family affair. Ray Baumann is an associate pastor at First Assembly of God in Belleville, Illinois. Baumann says while part of the “emergent church” movement for years, he looked for ways to draw big crowds while presenting the gospel in an entertaining manner so teens would come and continue coming. But the youth pastor says he realized that the church should not measure the success or failure of programs by man’s standards. Now he warns others about the emergent church movement, claiming that many churches are not presenting the entire gospel to teenagers. Youth ministry has become big business, explains Baumann, because many parents would rather rely on the church to raise their children instead of doing it themselves.

Sharing your faith could cost you your job(Christian Worldview/Issues)
A Christian woman is battling a California university and state social agency for terminating her internship because she shared her faith with co-workers during off-hours. Jacqueline Escobar was completing a master’s degree in social work at California State University Long Beach when she interned with the Department of Children and Family Services, or DCFS. A straight-A student, Escobar was complimented regularly by the DCFS for her work. But she came under scrutiny for sharing her faith with co-workers during lunch breaks and after-hours, and for changing into a shirt with a religious message – “Found” – after signing out for the day, according to the Pacific Justice Institute, which is representing her. A trial is scheduled to begin April 3.

‘Islamic world in cold war’ (Other Events to Watch)
The Islamic world is entering a cold war period as the divide between Shiites and Sunnis escalates, Israeli experts said during a conference at Tel Aviv University on Tuesday afternoon. Dr. Uzi Rabi, of the Department of Middle Eastern and African History at Tel Aviv University, said both Iran and Sunni nations were sending envoys to battle it out in Iraq. “There are many reports of Saudi Arabia indirectly supporting al-Qaeda, in order to prevent a Shiite takeover of Baghdad,” Rabi said. “There is a cold war going on in the Middle East between the agents of Iran and Sunni states,” he argued, adding: “pragmatic Arab states, such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, and the small Gulf states, have recently joined into a bloc aimed at checking the Shiite phenomenon sweeping the Middle East.” He added that for the first time in Israel’s history, there was a possibility for the country to “partially join this Sunni strategic alliance.”

Calls for conservative, Bible-believing members of the ECUSA to leave denomination (Apostate Christianity)
The founder of the American Family Association says the Episcopal Church, the U.S. wing of the worldwide Anglican Communion, has proven it has no desire to mend relations with conservative members of the denomination. It is time, says Rev. Donald Wildmon, for any conservative Christians in ECUSA to leave that denomination. The divide between conservative and liberals in the denomination was heightened four years ago when the leadership of ECUSA consecrated the church’s first openly homosexual bishop, V. Gene Robinson, who now oversees the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire. Last month, during a meeting in Africa, leaders of the worldwide Anglican Communion adopted an ultimatum calling for creation of a parallel leadership structure to oversee the conservative minority of Episcopalians — essentially, Anglicans in America — who oppose their church’s liberal views on homosexuality. But the Episcopal House of Bishops has rejected that demand. ECUSA’s leaders, says Wildmon, abandoned scripture long ago. “The authority of scripture has been denied by the liberal leaders in the Episcopal Church,” he states. “It is man making his own rules.” Wildmon points out that according to the Bible, “God is love” (1 John 4:16). “But what the liberals have done is make love God — and there’s a vast difference between the two,” he says.
