Saints of God, we should pray for this Ohio pastor.  Pastor Tom Randall was arrested in the Philippines while doing missionary work there.  Allegedly, someone who was a part of the organization he was helping molested children and then, did sex trafficking.   We really feel in our spirit, the authorities in the Philippines arrested him, because he is serving Jesus Christ.  As you know, many people in foreign countries hate Christians.

According to Fox8.com, Coffey said Randall went to the Philippines on a mission to help with typhoon relief and to spend time with the kids at his orphanages, something he does for one month each year supported by local churches and his ministry called World Harvest.

We pray people who are connecting with Pastor Tom Randall's church in Ohio contact President Obama so he can meet with the authorities and politicians in the Philippines.  In the meantime, we will keep Pastor Tom Randall in our prayers.

Gay choir directors go way back in the day, it's nothing new and we do not know why one would be fired in this age.   Although, we do agree with the Word of God it's wrong to be a homosexual, it's hard to believe one would actually lose their job as a choir director.   For many years, they have directed choirs, been musicians and even preachers.  However, maybe it is time to become strict and not necessarily fire them, but put them on the altar. 

According to ChristianPost.com, First UMC made national headlines when word got out that their gay choral director had not been rehired by the church's lead pastor.   

We will keep you updated on any further news about this gay choir director.

This Nigerian president is very serious on the law against homosexuality.  There are dozens of gays who have been arrested and he is not stopping it one bit.  As we asked you before, what do you think God has to say about this new law against sodomy?  Remember, yesterday, we gave you a report a man was whipped 20 times before the court, because he is gay?  Does God agree with this new strict law, saints of God? 

According to ChristianPost.com , Nigeria's controversial Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act was signed by Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan on Jan. 7, reports The Associated Press, which obtained a copy of the document on Monday. Legislators from The Nigerian National Assembly signed off on the law on Dec. 17, though no announcement was made about it and the reason for such secrecy is unclear.  

We still agree with God's biblical commandments against homosexuality.  However, we ask you the question, how would it be in America, if it was against the law?

Dozens of Gays Arrested in Nigeria Under Strict New Law

Allegedly, Pastor Shahan killed his wife to marry his boyfriend.  Lust is a terrible thing.  Why couldn't this guy just divorce his wife and go live with his boyfriend.  It just does not make sense to kill someone, so you can start a new life with another person.  Now, of course, God does not like divorce, but he would rather that than murder. 

According to nydailynews.com, Shahan was placed on paid administrative leave from Birmingham’s First Baptist Church immediately after the brutal murder of his wife, Karen Louise Shahan. The woman was found stabbed to death in the couple’s Homewood, Ala., house on July 23.  

We certainly hope Shahan repents for this terrible crime.

Ask yourself this question Saints of God, does homosexuality now rule all or most nations?  Is it so powerful that the majority of the world agrees with it, even in national governments.  This street preacher, Tony Milano from America went to Scotland to give a message to the people on the street that homosexuality is a sin and was arrested for it. 

According to ChristianPost.com, Milano's colleague, Pastor Josh Williamson of the Craigie Reformed Baptist Church in Perth, pointed out, "Tony wasn't focusing just on homosexual practice – it was about all sin."  

This is why we always tell you, we have no time for sophisticated conferences, but only revivals, so souls can be saved and fully cleansed from their sins.   We live in such a wicked world, it's time to get back to preaching complete holiness in the church.

If you recall, we did a previous article on this blogger who is an atheist.  We thought Hemant Mehta was rejected because the people over the food pantry had the fear of God, but obviously not, they have accepted his money.  One thing we can't stand are alleged Christians who seem strong at first, then give into to those who oppose Jesus Christ.  Possibly, we were mistaken, these are not Christians over this food pantry. 

According to ChristianPost.com , Before this week, Mehta's $3,000 donation was rejected by two other groups over the course of two months. Mehta first raised the money as a donation for the Morton Grove Park District, after the local chapter of the American Legion cut its annual $2,600 funding to the department because one of its commissioners, Dan Ashta, refused to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. The park district rejected Mehta's donation, which he had raised from donors online, saying that it did not want to accept the money and possibly become involved in a "First Amendment dispute." 

We'll keep you posted on any further information about this atheist giving funds to the food pantry.

Pastor Andrew Hamblin was previously arrested for having snakes at his church has been exonerated by a grand jury in Tennessee.  As we pointed out in a previous article, there have been various ministers throughout history who believe it is a gift from God to handle snakes; Jim Jones of The Peoples Temple was one of them. 

According to ChristianPost.com, pastors like Hamblin argue that their practices are in line with what the Bible says, as Mark 16: 17-18 reads, "And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover." 

 May God bless Pastor Hamblin and we pray he's very careful handling those snakes.

This former youth minister, Oliver Brazelle has been arrested for molesting teen boys, sodomy.  It's such a shame in the 21st century more ministers are arrested for child molestation and it seems like it's a continuous cycle.  Saints of God, it's time we return to having more revivals and no more sophisticated church services without repentance.  

According to Rawstory.com , Brazelle is accused of sexually abusing a teenage boy who was a member of his youth group. The crime reportedly took place at Brazelle’s residence in the suburb Happy Hollow in the mid-1990s.  

We certainly hope Pastor Brazelle gets it right with God before it's everlasting too late.

It's very sad that this youth pastor is accused of murdering his wife, Karen.  If you watch the following video, you would never think he would harm anyone, the way he was ministering to those innocent little children.  However, now he has appeared before a judge, after being arrested and caught trying to leave the country. 

According to alabamas13.com , on July 23 of last year, Shahan's wife, Karen Shahan, was found dead in the couple's home on Hugh Circle in Homewood.  Two weeks later, Richard Shahan was brought in for questioning by the Homewood police, but was later released.  In the meantime, we pray he has repented and confessed his sin to the Lord.  However, his attorney allegedly says he's innocent.

May Karen Shahan rest in peace.

Thank God, we still live in a country where some people have the fear of God.  This atheist, Hemant Mehta who is well known on You Tube tried to donate some money to a food pantry, but they rejected it.  If this guy rejects God, how can he expect not to be rejected by people who may believe in Him?

This is very sad news, as you know many rebels hate Christians in Iraq, but we never expect for them to kill on the celebration of Christ's birth.  Thirty-eight people are dead after there were bombings that took their lives on Christmas Day. 

According to Christian Post, the attacks will likely only incite more anxiety in Iraq's waning Christian population, which has long been targeted by extremists following the U.S. invasion of the country and the toppling of Saddam Hussein. The population has dwindled down to less than 500,000 from 1.4 million in 2003.  

May all of the victims rest in peace, we know they are in a much better place, because they died for Jesus Christ.
