Many in America do not know evil even when its standing at their front door knocking!! Russia and China have teamed together more than ever to spread their evil. More Here

As human rights abuses continue to come to light in the midst of the 2022 Olympic Games in China, part 2 of The Christian Post’s series on these abuses looks at how money talks and the ways that business is driving the Uyghur genocide in China. On December 23, 2021, President Joe Biden signed the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act into law. However, the legislation—which passed with strong bipartisan support in both the House and the Senate—was reportedly contested by major companies such as Apple, Nike, and Coca-Cola. And, when it comes to business, policy, and human rights, that is just the tip of the iceberg. Continue reading.

Give today “Open Doors . . . is calling on every Christian in the nation to join this boycott of the Olympics in the name of our persecuted brothers and sisters.” —Open Doors CEO David CurryDear Dewey,A few weeks ago, when we released the 2022 World Watch List, Open Doors CEO David Curry made that call to action.China is a beautiful country with a rich history. No doubt, the Olympic games—which start tonight—will focus on that beauty, as the best athletes in the world gather to compete in Beijing. But there is a dark side to this year’s Winter Olympics. At No. 17 on the World Watch List, China is also home to some of the world’s most vicious human rights and religious rights violations.
Christians and other religious minorities—most notable the Uyghur people—are suffering at the hands of their government. As God’s people who stand with our persecuted sisters and brothers, we cannot reward the Chinese Communist Party’s brutal behavior by simply carrying on as usual during the Olympics.
Here’s four reasons why Opens Doors is calling every Christian to take decisive action during this year’s Winter Games:

During the Games, the Chinese government will be scanning social media, watching global TV ratings and reading articles on how other countries perceive them. By boycotting the Olympics, we’re showing China’s oppressive regime we know what they’re doing—and that we won’t stay silent.We’re following the call in Hebrews to remember those who are suffering for Jesus as if we, ourselves, are suffering (Heb. 13:3).I hope you’ll take a few minutes today to read and share what’s happening—and then join us in being a voice for the voiceless.

What does it mean to be spiritually blinded?
Aug 4, 2020
The Bible teaches that man is in a period of spiritual blackout. Spiritually, he is blind. “We grope for the wall like the blind” (Isaiah 59:10). “The god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not” (2 Corinthians 4:4, KJV).
Man is also deaf spiritually. “They have ears to hear, and hear not” (Ezekiel 12:2, KJV). Jesus said, “If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead” (Luke 16:31, KJV). Spiritually, man is even “dead in trespasses and sins” (Ephesians 2:1).
All of this means that the communication between God and man is broken. There’s a wonderful world of joy, light, harmony, peace, and satisfaction to which millions are blind, deaf, and dead. They search for serenity and long for happiness, but never seem to find it.
Many give up the search and surrender to pessimism. Often their despondency leads to frantic rounds of alcohol, drugs, distractions through entertainment, and the practice of immorality, completely ignoring God on their desperate search to find an escape from sin-blighted existence. But God is there, speaking and beckoning. He sends forth His message of love, but we must be on the right wavelength. We must be willing to receive His message and then to obey it. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life” (John 8:12).
