God is giving us His warning in the very fulfillment of the prophecies that are thousands of years old.

ARE YOU AWAKE? ARE YOU WATCHING? ARE YOU READY?

We as believers must be aware of exactly where we are in God's prophetic timetable. Knowing that, along with the holy Spirit, will give us the courage and urgency to do what Jesus commanded us to do...
"Go and preach the gospel".

Be informed! Join us and other like-minded Believers as we pray and study so we will NOT be as those in darkness, caught off guard, but we will walk in the light and know that our Redeemer is at the door!

"ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER WITH THESE WORDS"
I Thessalonians 4:18

“Christian Roommate” Ad is Civil Rights Violation?

A civil rights complaint has been filed against a Grand Rapids woman who posted an advertisement at her church last July seeking a Christian roommate.
“The statement “expresses an illegal preference for a Christian roommate, thus excluding people of other faiths,” according to the complaint filed by the Fair Housing Center of West Michigan.
“It’s a violation to make, print or publish a discriminatory statement,” Executive Director Nancy Haynes told Fox News. “There are no exemptions to that.”
Haynes said the unnamed 31-year-old woman’s alleged violation was turned over to the Michigan Department of Civil Rights. Depending on the outcome of her case, the Christian woman could face several hundreds of dollars in fines and “fair housing training so it doesn’t happen again.”
“This is outrageous,” said attorney Joel Oster, with the Alliance Defense Fund. His organization is representing the woman free of charge. “Clearly this woman as a right to pick and choose who she wants to live with.”

Haynes said they plan on pursuing the matter.
“We want to make sure it doesn’t happen again,” she said.

How far are we going to let this go?  The discrimination against Christians has reached a point beyond reasonable belief.
