"They call it the God particle:
a mysterious sub-atomic fragment that
permeates the entire universe and explains
how everything is the way it is. Nobody has ever seen the
God particle; some say it doesn't exist but, in the ultimate
leap of faith, physicists across the world are preparing to
build one of the most ambitious and expensive science
experiments the world has ever seen to try to find it."

False messiahs and false prophets will appear.
They will work spectacular, miraculous signs
and do wonderful things to deceive, if possible,
even those whom God has chosen.

The book of Jude is a tiny book, tragically neglected by students,
yet overflowing with fascinating Old Testament references and
allusions: lessons from Israel in the wilderness, the angels
that sinned, the strange events of Sodom and Gomorrah,
and other insights from Cain, Balaam, as well as
the mysterious person known as Enoch.

WARNINGS ABOUT DECEPTION
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 1 Peter 1:13
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. Matthew 24:11
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1
"Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers used to treat the false prophets in the same way. Luke 6:26
In a season 5 episode of the action/drama television series
broadcast by Fox ( http://www.fox.com/24/)
the wife of the president of the US is drugged and about
to be committed to a mental health institution.
Her husband President Logan, does not believe
what she is telling him about a telephone conversation
she had with a former president. Her husband thinks she
is delusional and puts her in the hands of a doctor who
makes a diagnosis and proceeds with a full 'treatment plan'.
It turns out that she was not in fact delusional and the
information she was passing on was 100% accurate.
I have more than a passing interest in Mental Health issues
and mental health professionals. I happen to think that there
is a blurring of lines between fantasy, facts and faith that puts
much power in the hands of pastors, prosecutors
and those practicing psychiatric medicine.
What exactly is sanity anyway?
Who gets to decide if you are insane?
Have you been acting a little 'loopy' of late?
Are your ideas about 'reality' a little out of 'the main stream'.
For instance...have you been 'talking to God' much lately?
Most people would rather not think or talk about such matters...
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
DOES IT REALLY MATTER?
In looking at the large numbers of people who do not vote,
and at evidence that other forms of political participation
have languished, many political scientists find reason for
concern about the health of the American political system.
They argue that Americans have become cynical about
politics and distrustful of government, and a few contend
that this distrust stems from the failure of political parties
to attract and include the large numbers of new voters.
These observers warn that such trends
could lead to the breakdown of democracy.

a. The selfish are insane: as they are ruled by the tyranny
of their emotions, which distorts their understanding. Right
is what is they like, wrong is what they do not like, which of
course changes with circumstances. If a murder realizes
private profit it is right; if it uncovers a threat to their survival,
it is wrong. But they cannot form the understanding that
something has a value independent of their own interests,
which undermines their understanding of the world. The
selfish cannot form a clear and constant understanding.
b. The unselfish are sane: as they are ruled by a fixed set of
values which is more important than themselves and therefore
independent of their feelings. This moral code allows them to
resist the tyranny of their emotions and form
a stable understanding of the world.

AP - President Barack Obama is trying to persuade a weary public and wavering Democrats to get behind his frantic, late-stage push on health care, while Republicans dig in and demand starting from scratch after a year's worth of work.

Matthew 24:22 "Unless those days had been cut short,
no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the
elect those days will be cut short.
Luke 18:7 now, will not God bring about justice for
His elect who cry to Him day and night,
and will He delay long over them?
John 4:48 So Jesus said to him, "Unless you
people see signs and wonders,
you simply will not believe."
