Peter Schiff Was Right 2006 – 2007

He spoke but no one listened. He debated but no one took him seriously. Why would this guy want to continue to go the path that is least walked. Why would be put his business ventures at stake? The answers seems to rest in that fact that he knew the truth about the upcoming crisis even if that meant being humiliated and unpopular. Who is this man? Funny how the previous lines could represent a number of people all throughout history. But my illustrating is referring to Peter Schiff. Who is Mr. Schiff? He is an “American stock broker, economist, author, financial news commentator, video blogger, the president of Euro Pacific Capital and a 2010 candidate for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Democratic Senator Chris Dodd” (wikipedia: Peter David Schiff). What makes him so interesting is that he was one of the few economists in the world to openly tell the world about a devastating economic crisis that was soon to come.

So why didn’t anyone want to listen to him? He wasn’t stating what people want to hear. Not only that but there are many groups (government, media, banking, etc) that have an invested interest in the general citizens continued trust the US financial system. Any great hysteria could topple over the financial system that we currently hold in this county. Scary? Without God–yes. But what is scarier is that there is a God quickly coming and we are arguing over if He even exists. The wicked nature of humanity is “dress[ing] the wound of my people as though it were not serious. “Peace, peace,” they say, when there is no peace” Jeremiah 8:11.

Here is a video to watch so that you can get a picture of just what it means to stand up for the truth. Now please do likewise.

God Bless!

God Provides Before The Prayer

1 Peter 4:11 NIV
If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

God Provides -- Before the Prayer

“God, I am going to need you to change my grades.” The funny part of this phrase is that I never thought the idea, nor said the prayer—but it happened. It all started when a new teacher had graded people in a rather controversial manner (in many opinions), which had caused for a new final grade.  What is crazier yet, is that since this  consequently increased my GPA, I was now able to apply for the department’s study abroad scholarship. Originally not looking for scholarships, I was informed by my teacher (and program dean) of the available money. I decided to ask her if it was possible to use the money for an internship. Her response was yes, on the terms that the internship was unpaid. Coincidentally, I was looking and praying about a volunteer position with the organization called Gospel Ministries International, which is an umbrella organization covering ministries all over the world. The uniqueness of these ministries is that all expenses are prayed for, and God provides.

So, God obviously wants me to step forward while He provides. Oh, I almost forgot, the director commented that there is a 1:2 chance of getting the scholarship. Really can’t beat those odds. So my prayer to you is that you keep stepping out on faith, God has you!

Amen!

Can the Bible help your budget?

With financial security on everyone’s mind, I have decided to talk about biblical financial principles. The Lord knows the stresses of money and how it can cause one to loose faith in Him, so it is timely that the video that I am about to show you came about. Please click on the link to watch the video: “Can the Bible help your budget?”

This will be the first entry in this thread, enjoy!
