    Dear Friends and Partners,

    As you know, Haiti has suffered a massive 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck near the capital of Port-au-Prince on Tuesday, January 12th. The damage is extensive and it has been reported that the number of injured or dead is estimated to be in the hundreds, possibly in the thousands.

    WE NEED YOUR HELP. Revival Ministries International has affiliates, missionaries, on the ground in Haiti that could use our help now.

    Please, ask the Lord what He would have you to do. Your gift will go directly into the Haiti Fund. It doesn't matter what you can give, prayer, your time, food, clothes or money.

      tantrum

        what i need to know about the world, about man, about judgement, and about love,i may still be learning but it seems like you have it all conquered.

        this world of yours is going from bad to worse, because of what is being done in it & to it by people everyday. things we do always come back to haunt us in one way or another. eat the wrong foods, drinking, drugs, smoking, this invites diseases & sickness in to your bodies, disobey the law  of man you are fined for it or go to jail.man is usely ready to war over the drop of a hat , over the dumbest things. they do not like anyone telling them  what to do always thinking they know what is best even as children we know it all & usely  that does not change as we grow up ,not thinking of what awaits us . soon our looks are disappearing, hair thinning, weight gain all over our bodies, not as big & powerful in the body as we once was . looking for ways to hide the wrinkles, bulges , flabby skin, gray hair  trying to hang onto the days of our youth now fading. look at your parents/ grandparents. do you think they always looked this way or just because you are special this stage will pass you by.

        i have been accused of trying to pass my religion on others & for judging, and weather you believe or not does not change anything of GODS will or not.it will come to pass.

        if some think what i say is hateful or hurtfull they are all truths.... and for those who say judge not or to remove the mote from my own eye, GOD has already sit his judgements for us to follow in the moral laws & what he hates. jesus was saying not for us to judge but not to be hypocrites like the pharisees who do one thing & exalting themselves in public on their precieved righteousness while sinning in private.(LUKE 11:37-52)

      stephen was caught & tried by the sanhedrin on lies by people who opposed the gospel. he accursed ( judged them) of being stiff-necked uncircumsized hearts,like their fathers.

        paul judged peter in ( gal. l2:11-14) for his action in public in front of all..  GOD has told us the things that are right & just in his eyes and we are to stand firm in the faith on his words..

      my love for my fellow man is not the same as some of you here. i worry more about GOD saving their souls from hell that which is spiritual, not carnal.

      i see great things taking place in haiti ,all peoples pulling together to help freely giving their all & more. maybe you will find a little prayer might help. who are they thanking,praying to.paul no god who does not exist, or to the world or man or love..... NOPE they are thanking & praying to GOD... GODS blessing be on them to make them stong....

        Why are you so scared you need to disguise who you are? See? This makes everything you say a hateful lie. In fact - if I believed in such crap, I would suggest you are the devil come to push people away from Christianity, because you are doing a sterling job.

        You are all that is why no one believes in your ridiculous god any more. LOLOL

        You have no truth to share and you do not know the meaning of the word "love," because it certainly does not involve "I told you GOD would kill those who practice voodoo and now they are thanking GOD for killing their families and sparing them. lol lol

        The thing of it is, just like my beliefs can't alter the metaphysics of the universe, neither can your personal arrogance.

        You read whatever holy texts you think are revealed, presumably including the Bible, you find a way to use that text to support what you want to believe, and you declare your personal opinions and fantasies to be the will of God.

        Your arrogance doesn't make it so, and it does not excuse your callousness in blaming a disaster on its victims.

            Why do people ignore facts and embrace the most hateful parts of the Bible that supports their hate? As I said earlier your religion is coming to an end.  Not the world, not the truly God loving and good intentioned people in this world.  Just your empire of lies and hate. Martin Luther King said it best. NO LIE CAN LIVE FOREVER! Dont think for a minute I didn't notice your sudden shift to all peace and love after you condemed the people of Haiti. I aint fallin for it! You and that Animal Pat Robertson(and I say animal because as of today; I have not heard him apologize yet)...just dont get it. You said something that should have never even entered your mind, but sense it obviously entered your mind; the goodness in your heart should have stop those words from ever passing your lips. Let's see if you can understand the rage and shock and horror people felt when they heard that animal make his comment..A man that had to bury thousands of people in a mass grave today said "I saw so many children...so many children."

        I suspect that's not entirely accurate. Most believers are only interested in themselves and their own personal salvation. They could give a rats patootie about mankind and terrestrial problems. This world is a mere stepping stone to some greater existence as far as they're concerned.

        Hence, we really don't have to look that far for answers as to why the worlds in such bad shape.

        Yes, standing firm by saying unfortunate people made a deal with the devil.  Way to follow the teachings of your prophet (by which I mean ignore them completely and preach whatever makes you feel self-righteous and more important than other people, therefore feeding your Ego).

        I believe in a god, btw... so your "give me proof" argument has no bearing.  I think it's disgusting how they shun people for taking a different path to the top of the mountain.

        Well Christian principles were taken from Jewish Principals, so technically everything was inspired by the Jews.

        Look, you can't stake claim on solid principles.  It doesn't take a genius to figure out that "Thou Shalt Not Kill" is a good rule for any society.  While we're at it, maybe you should realize that religion is nothing more than an outdated form of government...

            Yes, default to your false statements which have no basis.  Jesus' characteristics (even down to the death and resurrection, his birthday, etc) were based on prophets before.  Its sad that when you have no decent response to a statement you default to something that has no basis whatsoever.

    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
    Then he is not omnipotent.
    Is he able, but not willing?
    Then he is malevolent.
    Is God both able and willing?
    Then whence cometh evil?
    Is he neither able nor willing?
    Then why call him God?

    (Epicurus 341 – 371 BCE)
