A compendium of events that purportedly fulfill Biblical prophecy and portend an impending Rapture, Christ's return for His Church. To some degree this site is a bit of an overkill. Furthermore, the catstrophes of nature described in the Book of Revelation will take place after the Rapture, not before. Nevertheless, it's an interesting concept...

Creation Science

Answers in Genesis

Answers in Genesis does an excellent job of upholding the truth of God's Word in relation to matters scientific, including physical science, geology, biology, zoology, and astronomy. Answers in Genesis holds to a recent creation and presents compelling scientific evidence to support its claims. Answers in Genesis scholars interact with the Hebrew text of the Old Testament and are careful not to make claims that cannot be supported from both a Biblical and a scientific point of view. Answers in Genesis holds to a literal understanding of the Bible and a literal, world-wide flood that has radically affected the geological understanding of our present earth.

Center for Scientific Creation

In the Beginning: Compelling Evidence for Creation and the Flood is the name of the hard-bound book Walt Brown has written. This URL links to his web site, where he has posted the contents of the book. To me, Brown's greatest contribution has been his analysis of the Genesis Flood. While his explanation of the hydroplate theory is just that - a theory, it does more to describe our present, post-flood world than any other theory I have heard.

"Walt Brown received a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he was a National Science Foundation Fellow. He has taught college courses in physics, mathematics, and computer science. Brown is a retired Air Force full colonel, West Point graduate, and former Army Ranger and paratrooper. Assignments during his 21 years of military service included: Director of Benét Laboratories (a major research, development, and engineering facility); tenured associate professor at the U.S. Air Force Academy; and Chief of Science and Technology Studies at the Air War College. For much of his life Walt Brown was an evolutionist, but after years of study, he became convinced of the scientific validity of creation and a global flood. Since retiring from the military, Dr. Brown has been the Director of the Center for Scientific Creation and has worked full time in research, writing, and teaching on creation and the flood."

Institute for Creation Research

"ICR equips believers with evidence of the Bible's accuracy and authority through scientific research, educational programs, and media presentations, all conducted within a thoroughly biblical framework."

The Secret to Saving Money: Saving is not a matter of math, but a matter of focused emotion. Anyone can save, no matter what your income level. It's never too late to start!

I like mutual funds because I personally don't wish to invest the time and energy to watch the Stock Market. Having been burned, however, by the bear market described below, I am personally tracking the market on almost a daily basis.

I like WMIF because it has never invested in gambling, alcohol, or tobacco. Click here for a Prospectus. Because of my views of Biblical prophecy and my sense of what is going on in the U.S. and the world, I have greater confidence that Europe will survive as a force than that America will. Consequently I have added to my portfolio American's EuroPacific Growth Fund.

May 1, 2009 Caveat: Just what, not why. From about October 2007-February 2009 WMIF and most if not all other mutual funds fell victim to a very nasty bear market and lost about half their value. In March, 2009 the Dow Jones Industrial Average rebounded significantly from a low of under 7,000. At its height the DJIA had been trading in the 13,000-14,000 area. At present it rests at 8212.41. The last couple of weeks the market has been treading water. Whether or not this is merely a bear-market correction is anyone's guess. China is buying gold as a hedge against inflation. If you don't have any idea why the stock market went down globally, you have no business investing in it. Suffice it to say that the stock market reflects accurately what is occurring politically, economically, and providentially. Buyer Beware!

Cross Ministry - Equipping the Church to Evangelize and Disciple the Homosexual.

Cross Ministry began in 1996 with the idea that there needed to be a redemptive, Biblical, compassionate response to homosexuality. Everywhere that Tim speaks, he advocates that "we turn down the heat on the issue and turn on the light." "We share the truth of the Gospel, and that is that Jesus Christ is able to provide freedom for those who are locked in the bondage of homosexuality."

Tim was born in a home with an abusive father and a needy, manipulative mother. Rarely did he experience his father's approval and love, and on reaching puberty, he recognized an attraction for guys at school. Some time thereafter he began a sporadic involvement in homosexual activity. Tim says, "My homosexual activity continued until my early twenties when I decided that although I honestly did not know how not to be homosexual, I did know how to be obedient." Read Tim's' own story. Watch a video of the Vision of Cross Ministry.
