Study: Christian Teens Confused About Heaven (Christian Worldview/Issues)
A new survey by LifeWay Research indicated that many American teenagers are confused about what it takes to get to heaven. Results showed 53 percent of teens strongly agree with the belief that they will go to heaven because Jesus Christ died for their sins. Another 16 percent somewhat agree.

Among those not holding that traditional Christian belief, 27 percent said they trust in their own kindness to others and 26 percent trust in their religiosity as their means to get to heaven.

The survey, however, further found that even those who believe in Jesus Christ have confused ideas on how to get to heaven.

Malaysian fights for legal right to become Christian and leave Islam (Christian Worldview/Issues)
Lina Joy has been disowned by her family, shunned by friends and forced into hiding — all because she renounced Islam and embraced Christianity in Muslim-majority Malaysia.

Now, after a seven-year legal struggle, Malaysia’s highest court will decide whether her constitutional right to choose her religion overrides an Islamic law that prohibits Malay Muslims from leaving Islam.

Either way, the verdict will have profound implications on society in a country where Islam is increasingly conflicting with minority religions, challenging Malaysia’s reputation as a moderate nation.

Joy’s case began in 1998 when, after converting, she applied for a name change on her government identity card. The National Registration Department obliged but refused to drop Muslim from the religion column.

China to catch up with US economy: world poll (Where is the U.S. in Bible Prophecy?)
China is on course to catch up with the United States and join the front ranks of world economic powers, but that is little cause for concern even among Americans, a global survey said today.

But the same poll showed there is generally as much distrust of the United States as there is of China to “act responsibly” in world affairs.

Most respondents in 13 countries agreed it was “likely that someday China’s economy will grow to be as large as the US economy,” according to the opinion poll by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and WorldPublicOpinion.org.

“What is particularly striking is that despite the tectonic significance of China catching up with the US, overall the world public’s response is low key — almost philosophical,” said Steven Kull, editor of WorldPublicOpinion.org.

Hamas: Islam Will Rule the World, Destroy Israel and the Jews (Israel - God’s Timepiece)
The Hamas terrorist organization is conducting a simultaneous battle against Israel and its coalition partner, Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah faction, but not without a “higher” purpose.

According to the Palestinian Media Watch, the Hamas charter specifically mandates the murder of Jews in compliance with what it believes is Divine will. Violence and terror, which Hamas refers to as “resistance”, are considered legitimate tools to be used for this purpose.

Hitler’s Cross

The monstrosity of Adolph Hitler’s “Third Reich” remains a stunning chapter in the pages of history. Although the power by which he hypnotized an entire nation is legendary, one question in particular begs an answer: Where was the church of Christ? Seduced by the Satanic majesty of The Fuhrer, church leaders throughout Germany allowed the Swastika a prominent place alongside the Christian cross in their sanctuaries. Nationalistic pride replaced the call of God to purity, and with few exceptions the German church looked away while Adolph Hitler implemented his “Final Solution” to his Jewish problem. In this book, Erwin W. Lutzer examines the lessons that may be learned from studying the deception of the church: the dangers of confusing church and state, how the church lost its focus, the role of God in human tragedy, the parameters of Satan’s freedom, the truth behind Hitler’s hatred of the Jews, the faithfulness of God to His people who suffer for Him, comparisons between Hitler’s rise and the coming reign of the Antichrist, and America’s hidden cross — her dangerous trends. This book is the story of a nation whose church forgot its primary call and discovered its failure too late.

Woman minister re-appointed – as a man (Apostate Christianity)
A woman who has served as minister at St. John’s United Methodist Church in Baltimore for five years has been re-appointed to the position – as a man, according to church officials.

The announcement came at the Baltimore-Washington annual conference of the UMC, where the former Ann Gordon announced the change to Drew Phoenix, and talked of a “spiritual transformation” since the sex change procedure.

The move was not without challenge. Some ministers asked for a “ruling of law,” a move which automatically takes the issue to the church organization’s highest court, the Judicial Council, which will be meeting next in October.

U.N. Force Sought for Gaza; Israel May Consider Idea (Israel - God’s Timepiece)
As powerful regional players renew their familiar calls for the elimination of Israel, a long-standing demand by Palestinian Arabs to establish an international force in Gaza is receiving new attention at the United Nations — and even in Jerusalem, where it was previously rejected out of hand.

In the past, Israel has steadfastly resisted repeated Arab attempts to establish such a force. But after last year’s war in Lebanon, Israel agreed to augment the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon in the hope of ending the armed presence of an anti- Israel terrorist group, Hezbollah, on its border. The Israeli foreign minister, Tzipi Livni, recently started working on a plan to create a similar force that would enforce an end to weapons smuggling through Egypt’s border with Gaza, according to Israeli press reports.

Hurricane Forecasters Have A Word For Oilmen, Insurers And Coastal Home-Owners: Brace Yourself (Where is the U.S. in Bible Prophecy?)
Hurricane forecasters have warned oilmen, insurers and coastal home-owners to brace themselves for a re-run of the $80bn catastrophe that cut a devastating swathe through the Gulf of Mexico two years ago. Weather watchers put the probability of an “above-normal” hurricane season this year at 75pc.

Experts warned of dire consequences if the summer storms arrive as predicted. At the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, scientists said there would be between 13 and 17 named storms during the hurricane season, which officially begins on June 1 and runs until the end of November.
