Another terrorist attack in the wee hours of 9-24 kept us offline for a little over a day.
Brethren, remember our dear persecuted brothers and sisters in Muslim countries, as well as China, Sudan, Nigeria, Indonesia, Malaysia and all around the rest of the world, as it seems we may wind up having to settle for somewhat compromised Forum internet service, because darkness cannot stand Light.
John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Meanwhile, please download and copy everything that you can, and encourage your friends to do the same. Websites, books and PDFs. Our only real defense, is to become as viral as the attackers, in terms of numbers of Christians getting this Word out. Download the websites to your computer and upload them to a website, or present them to friends or your bible study group in a slide show.
Don't expect any but the most Berean spirited church leaders to join in, and don't let "leaders" try to convict you, to prevent you from going around them to reach your brethren. They are walking in tradition that makes the Word of God of none effect even as they usurp authority that belongs to Jesus Christ alone. That's why they will try to prevent you from presenting other than their chosen doctrine.

Folks, we need to love and pray for our enemies and ask God to bless them.
They are blinded by the spirit of antichrist, and so can't understand that it is Satan that is in control, and that the consequences for them will be eternal.

And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who [is] like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? Indeed to those that live in and of the world it is a physically unidentifiable enemy in an undeclared war.
But to those of us in the kingdom is a readily identifiable spiritual enemy.
For some of us the final spiritual enemy in this final spiritual war. The spirit of antichrist warring against Jesus Christ.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places]. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
