Does anybody believe we are headed to a financial crisis?

Maybe after they win, the Lord will see fit to take McCain home to heaven and we'll have a good president.

That is an absolutely despicable thing to say! How would you feel if someone looked forward to your demise to achieve a political goal?

The news events of the last several months point to a downward spiraling economy. Do you believe that God in His Divine Design may be sending this to purify the Church and create one last opportunity for seeds to be sown on fertile ground.

HEARD THAT WITH IN THE NEXT YEAR, THERE WILL BE A GOOD NUMBER ( BETWEEN 10 AND 20 ) MORE MAJOR INSTITUTIONS GOING UNDER.....

pushing the way for more government control.... the ones that are failing, the government is "loaning" them the money and then taking the control of the institution ( about 80% control )which means the government had the controling vote as to who, what, where, when, why and how things will be done with in that institution......

GOVERNMENT IS JUST TOOOOOOOOOOOO BIG FOR THEIR BRITCHES..........

time for revolution..... Jefferson even said a revolution is good for the country once in a while.....

Mr. Bush has never seen an opportunity to expand the power of government that he didn't like. Rino to the max.

Those comments didn't set well with me either. McCain may turn out to be a great President if elected. I do believe he is knowledgeable in the area of foreign policy, and that he would be a strong and independent leader. Regardless of how Democrats try to link him to Bush, he is his own man, and a McCain/Palin administration would be quite differen't from Bush and Cheney.

Agreed; I watched the debate tonight and John McCain was on top of his game. 72 isn't as old today as it would've been 50 years ago and his being smart enough to choose Sarah Palin, who I consider to be the most promising leader of my generation, has totally changed my view of McCain.

Someone tonight at a prayer meeting I was at mentioned something interesting.

Anyone here old enough to remember the financial situation in the 70's?

I was too young to know what was going on, but I recall huge price jumps in 3 consecutive years in the school lunches, milk and dessert. That reminds me of what's going on with the food prices now.

But anyway, apparently there were some bad shake-ups back then, too.

But in the 70's we saw a huge harvest of souls through such things as the Jesus Movement.

If we keep our eyes on Jesus, choosing not to fear but to have faith in the Lord, learn to listen and be directed by Him with our finances, invest in the Kingdom rather than the banks, we will see the glory and goodness of God working in our lives.

The Lord means for another huge harvest of souls, but it tends to take massive shaking up of the world and the things man relies on in order for hearts to be receptive to Him.

Let us choose not to whine, complain, bicker, point fingers, fear, judge, . . . . Rather, let us pray and praise and seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness!

Wouldn't you rather be in a position to be used of the Lord for the Harvest?

So please, prepare yourself for the Harvest.

I've thought of this too, nebula, and I hope we do have such a harvest. We need to be mindful that the Lord is in control and that we can do nothing without Him. Good post!

Well said Sister Nebula.

If it got me to heaven...... I promise I would not care in the least

If all things work together for good to those that love God, who are the called according to His purpose, how can this be bad for us? Are there any here not looking for the soon coming of the Lord? This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come, and men shall wax worse. Is the Lord not going to call us home soon and punish this wicked world. Do you think if we get together and pray for Jesus not to come that He will delay His coming? Will His prophesies not come to pass?

Next I noticed that this thread digressed into a discussion of who will come to office in the elections. Does anyone think that God is not going to have the person He wants in office even if it were to be Pharaoh. The Bible says there is no power but of God, and the powers that be are ordained of God. The most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men, and whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God. Quit worrying about who God chooses because we belong to Him. I oft think of the song "His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me." We are in the cleft of the Rock and let the storms come; we'll trust in our Savior. AMEN?

I think God is doing this for a reason. As soon as I heard it I thought this almost immediately. God has his hand in evreything in the world why not the economy as well? I belive it might be a test to see what the leaders and the people of the nation are going to do. Because they have acted rebelous to God and to his people world wide.

My question is.. If the US can't recover from this who will rise up to help Israel? Or who will stand for Chrsitianity in the world? It would become a desperate time. And perhaps this whole thing is building up to it. The end times. Why not? All the signs are there.. people in Israel are making preperations for rebuilding God's Temple on the Temple Mount.. things are building up

Hallelujah! Praise His Holy Name!
