Wow! Thanks for posting all those Quinn.

I think God is trying to get everyone's attention to alert us all that we are indeed living in the last days. Sad thing is, there are still so many scoffers. I wish people would wake up and turn to Him before it's too late.

Jesus is coming back, and He's coming back soon! :yeah :yeah :ring

Floods close roads, cause evacuations

Gov. Kathleen Sebelius declared a state of emergency in 12 counties Saturday as swelling floodwaters turned the town of Neodesha into a virtual island and forced dozens of evacuations and rescues across a broad swath of southeast Kansas.

And the sprawling weather system that has already dropped 12 to 14 inches of rain on these drenched counties is expected to drop another 2 to 4 inches through this afternoon, National Weather Service meteorologist Matt Wolters said.

"I don't know what we're going to do with it," said Gary Fitzmorris, a Wilson County commissioner who has emptied his 6-inch rain gauge twice in the past couple days. "I've just never seen it rain this much. I don't think anybody else has either."

The floods that have devastated swathes of the country are God's judgment on the immorality and greed of modern society, according to senior Church of England bishops.


One diocesan bishop has even claimed that laws that have undermined marriage, including the introduction of pro-gay legislation, have provoked God to act by sending the storms that have left thousands of people homeless.

While those who have been affected by the storms are innocent victims, the bishops argue controversially that the flooding is a result of Western civilisation's decision to ignore biblical teaching.

The Rt Rev Graham Dow, Bishop of Carlisle, argued that the floods are not just a result of a lack of respect for the planet, but also a judgment on society's moral decadence.

"This is a strong and definite judgment because the world has been arrogant in going its own way," he said. "We are reaping the consequences of our moral degradation, as well as the environmental damage that we have caused."

The bishop, who is a leading evangelical, said that people should heed the stories of the Bible, which described the downfall of the Roman empire as a result of its immorality.

"We are in serious moral trouble because every type of lifestyle is now regarded as legitimate," he said.

"In the Bible, institutional power is referred to as 'the beast', which sets itself up to control people and their morals. Our government has been playing the role of God in saying that people are free to act as they want," he said, adding that the introduction of recent pro-gay laws highlighted its determination to undermine marriage.
