In recent years, the house of Lords has been a bastion of common sense and morality, but no longer. Read on:
The House of Lords has voted in favour of a change to civil partnership laws to allow gay couples to marry in churches and use religious language during the ceremony.
Peers voted 95 to 21 in favour of the amendment to the Equality Bill late last night, overturning a ban under the Civil Partnerships Act on same sex unions taking place in religious premises.
This is a sad day for our nation.
Praise God for the 21!

What are the odds?
Had this on my mind for a while now, see what you think.
I am not a gambling man, never have been, never will be. I have great sport with cold callers who try to sell me insurance. I tell them I don't gamble which usually stops them in their tracks, at least for a few seconds. Once recovered they put up a fight, but I tell them, "The only thing guaranteed in insurance is that I will pay the premium every month." Nothing else is guaranteed, that's a gamble.
So, where's all this going? Well, lots of people gamble on the lottery, they buy tickets faithfully every week in the hopes that their luck will be in. And to make sure they do, every so often, a big winner splashed up in the media to keep 'em hooked. After all, "IT COULD BE YOU." ( Cue big bass voice!)
The odds of winning the lottery are in the order of 2,000,000 to one. That's two million to one against, yet people flock in droves to buy their tickets. Sad really when you think about it.
As we are into numbers, let's look at another 'hot potato', Evolution, which is taught in our schools as fact. What are the odds that evolution is true? Well, Borel's law of probability states that if the odds of something happening are worse than 1*10^50 (that's 1 with 50 zeros after it), then that event will never happen. It's impossible... Interesting.
So, what are the odds against evolution? Dr. Harold Morowitz, a former professor at Yale University, estimated the probability of the formation of the smallest, simplest form of life known is 1*10^340,000,000. That's one with three hundred and forty million zeros after it. Just a few more than 50 wouldn't you say! It gets better...The well known atheist and evolutionist, Carl Sagan, estimated it at 1*10^2,000,000,000. That's one with two billion zeros after it. Definitely more than 50, and yet, he still 'believed' in it. Some faith!
If a figure with 50 zeros after it represents impossibility, and these staggering numbers above are the odds against the 'simplest' form of life even starting, what are the odds against a single cell 'thing' becoming a human being?
What are the odds that God created the heavens and the earth, and all life? Well, either He did, or He didn't. I make that 50/50, or one in two. Now, hands up if you'd buy a lottery ticket if your chances of winning where one in two! So, why do seemingly intelligent scientists cling to the myth of evolution in the face of such staggering odds, and why does the education system insist on force feeding it to our kids when it is plainly, by mathematical proof, impossible?
WHY?

Harry Patch
I was born in 1948, so missed the war completely. My mum and dad went through it a bit, though they never talked about it much.
As a 'baby boomer', I can only offer my heartfelt thanks to Harry, and all the other heroes who gave their lives in those terrible wars. Without them I would not be living in the country or freedom that I do today. Their hard won freedom for us is precious, and we should never forget that. War is an abomination against humanity, who are made in God's image. Harry and the others went on our behalf, selflessly giving their all that we might live.
Farewell Harry, and God bless you mate.
Colin.

The Uncomfortable Definition of an Infidel
I received this recently and really felt the need to pass it on. See what you make of it.
Allah or the Lord Jesus Christ? The Muslim religion is by far the fastest growing religion in the UK.
Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my prison security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their beliefs. I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.
After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked: 'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven.
If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?' There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, 'Non-believers!'
I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?'
The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of 'a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.' He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.'
I then stated, 'Well, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope Benedict commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!'
The Imam was speechless! I continued, 'I also have a problem with being your 'friend' when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question. Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?'
You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam remained speechless. Needless to say, the organizers and promoters of the 'Diversification' training seminar were not happy with this way of dealing with the Islamic Imam and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs.
Within twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the UK. to elect a government of their choice, complete with sharia law. I think everyone in the U.K. should be required to read this, but with the Liberal justice system, liberal media and the political correctness madness, there is no way this will be widely publicised.

Mob Rule
I have just been reading an extract from the book,"Even Greater." It is the account of what happened when Reinhard Bonnke tried to hold a Gospel crusade in Kano, Nigeria in 1991. Islam, it seems, has no answer to the Gospel other than violence, and this episode is the epitome of that failing.
It seems that after a sermon in a Mosque, a mob took to the streets looting, killing and burning. Churches, businesses, you name it, they attacked pretty much everything in site. Reports speak of dead bodies everywhere. It beggars belief in these so called modern times.
So, what was the outcome? Well, on the surface Reinhard and his team had to leave the country. It looked as though Islam had won. But those who know Jesus know that He is never defeated. And true to form, just short of ten years later, 1.6 million gathered to hear the Gospel, of which 1.4 million made a decision for Jesus. Over a six day period, more than 3.4 million accepted Jesus.
Mob rule? I think not. Mobs destroy, kill and maim. They are one of Satan's favourite weapons, read the book of Acts! No, Jesus rules and brings life, peace and freedom to those who will accept Him.

Red Envelope Day
The numbers, 9-11, will forever stay in our memories. It's the date of the atrocity committed when the twin towers were brought down by terrorists. I can remember vividly watching on TV as the second plane hit. It made me sick to my stomach. I don't know the exact numbers, but it was at least 5000 people that died that day, not all Americans. Tragic.
America went to war over it, invaded another country, full of righteous indignation..."How dare they kill Americans..." Strange is't it, terrorists kill 5000 and it's war, yet Americans kill way more Americans than that every week, but that's, "A women's right to chose." Vehemently defended in the courts, news papers and media. "How dare they say we don't have the right..." To what? To kill Americans!
There's a new guy in the White House, so far he's uped the money to support the killing of Americans, and done his best to set the terrorists free. The Bible says, "By their fruit you shall know them." Watch this space.
This is a picture of my two daughters, taken a long time ago when they were very young. What a pair of sweethearts they were, and still are...A benefit to society.
Today is red evelope day. The good people of America, and the UK are sending empty red envelopes to the President and Prime Minister. Each envelope represents an aborted baby. I personally hope and pray that it sticks in there throats.
