Longing to find a work-at-home program that really works, my wife and I searched and searched the internet for a program that actually delivers what it promises. We tried survey programs, only to get stuck buying products we neither needed nor wanted, what a disaster. We tried EBay promotions only to get stuck refunding the entire purchase price for a wok that the seller never shipped, plus this program stated it only cost $ 1.00 to get started. Don’t ask about the hidden costs you have to pay after 4 weeks.
Eventually we found our way to Wealthy Affiliate. The owners, Kyle and Carson, not only promised there was no quick way to make money with their program but rather they promised it would take a lot of work. This got our attention! As Kyle and Carson stated, “If something sounds too good to be true…”, was right on the money. We should listen more to old sayings, there is truth in those words.
It is in fact proving to take a lot of work, but the support from not only the other Wealthy Affiliate members, but also direct personal support from Kyle and Carson, is priceless. Today, my wife and I have built our own website, www.dfineonline.com, where we define online shopping sites by their ease of use, but also price and quality.

misconceptions about women in islam
——————————————————————————–
i`ll quote some of the points mentioned in the letter & show you the Islamic rule on them :
-”The Koran allots daughters half the inheritance of sons. It decrees that a woman’s testimony in court, at least in financial matters, is worth half that of a man’s.
Under Shari’a, or Muslim law, compensation for the murder of a woman is half the going rate for men.”
about the inheritance issue :
First, the principle of women inheriting half the money is only applicable in 45 percent of the cases. In the other 55 percent, women inherit the same amount or sometimes even more. For example, a mother and a father each inherit the sixth of their son’s property when they are not the only inheritors.
In addition, the laws of inheritance in Islam are proportional to the duties of spending. Indeed, a man in Islam has the responsibility of supporting his family, his brother’s children (when his brother dies), his parents (when they retire and do not have an income), his children from his previous marriage (if he has them) and his household, including his wife and children. A woman, on the other hand, does not bear this responsibility. She has the freedom to use the money she collects from her dowry or work as she pleases.
You might object here, saying that women today are working and helping their husbands pay the expenses, which entitles them to share equality with men. In fact, you should know that women’s economic assistance to their husbands, which has become the norm today, is only an answer to the females’ wishes. Islam does not oblige women to spend on their households. It is a free choice many women have themselves taken today to feel more liberated, so it does not entitle them to a bigger portion of the inheritance.
about the testimony of a woman :
[ 2:282] O you who believe, when you transact a loan for any period, you shall write it down. An impartial scribe shall do the writing. …….. Two men shall serve as witnesses; if not two men, then a man and two women whose testimony is acceptable to all. Thus, if one woman becomes biased, the other will remind her. It is the obligation of the witnesses to testify when called upon to do so. …… Financial transactions are the ONLY situations where two women may substitute for one man as witness. This is to guard against the real possibility that one witness may marry the other witness, and thus cause her to be biased. It is a recognized fact that women are more emotionally vulnerable than men. If the woman as a witness was worth half that of a man, the verse would have stated so clearly. But obviously that is not the case. Women’s testimony in all other matters are equal to that of a man or even supersedes his testimony as in the case of a wife testifying against her accusation of adultery
about compensation for the murder of a woman is half the going rate for men
This is totally false as both men and women are equally treated and compensated according to the Quran. Such laws are found in the fabricated books of Hadiths and Sunna and they are not the laws of God in the Quran
2-178 “O you who believe! retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the slain, the free for the free, and the slave for the slave, and the female for the female, but if any remission is made to any one by his (aggrieved) brother, then prosecution (for the bloodwit) should be made according to usage, and payment should be made to him in a good manner; this is an alleviation from your Lord and a mercy; so whoever exceeds the limit after this he shall have a painful chastisement. “
“For a woman to prove rape in Pakistan, for example, four adult males
of “impeccable” character must witness the penetration, in
accordance with Shari’a.”
i guess that you should the verse from the quran to realize that it has been twisted in your quote :
islam stood by the side of the woman if she`s been accused of adultary, & the witnesses must be at least four to say such word about her, but your quote is totally untrue & is not even in the quran , you can read the whole quran & won`t find such thing , the real case is :
24-4 “And those who accuse free women then do not bring four witnesses, flog them, (giving) eighty stripes, and do not admit any evidence from them ever; and these it is that are the transgressors, “
24-5 “Except those who repent after this and act aright, for surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. “
“In Islam, women can have only one spouse, while men are permitted four.”
read the verse about having more than one wife, very carefully. [4:3]
“And if you fear that you cannot act equitably towards orphans, then marry such women as seem good to you, two and three and four; but if you fear that you will not do justice (between them), then (marry) only one or what your right hands possess; this is more proper, that you may not deviate from the right course. “
What does it say? And what do you understand from it?
Man Supports And Protects Women
Do you understand that one must take on the role of supporter, protector, provider, custodian and servant to the family (man’s role)?
Woman Gives Birth – Raises Children
One must take on the role of carrying the child and delivering it and then feeding it and raising it to become a true servant of Allah (woman’s role).
Not Equal – But Treated Fairly In Justice
Men and women are not the same nor are they “equal” as some folks would have us believe. Whatever is on one side of an ‘equals’ sign must be exactly the same as what is on the other side without any difference in value, only in the way that it is expressed. How then could we say that a man, who is unable to conceive or give birth and then breast feed a baby is the equal to a woman who can?
Equal In Faith And Actions
They are equal in their beliefs and good deeds of course. But still they are not the same as each other. Each one must fulfill their role as humans.
Children’s Rights Protected
Islam is also very much about rights. Children also have rights in Islam. When a man dies his wealth is left to his family. How could the court know who to give the wealth of a man, if he was one of several husbands to a woman? How would a child know who his father was? No society ever supported the concept of a woman being married to two or more men at the same time.
Women’s Right – Best Treatment
Almost every society supported the concept of a man having more than one woman. Yet, they did not limit the number nor did they provide the protection and maintenance that Islam insists on for each one. Islam came to set things straight. Women were given rights. Men were strictly ordered to treat their women with the very best of treatment.
Limit – Number in Marriage
When the verse was revealed the companions of Muhammad, peace be upon him, did not run out with the attitude that they were going to get four wives all of a sudden. Some of them already had much more than that and these men had to divorce their wives, if they had more than four. So this was not an order to go out and get four wives. It was an order to begin limitations. And the first limitation was; No more than four.
Limit – Equal Maintenance and Treatment
Second, the limitation of equal treatment for all of them. How could a man keep more than one wife unless he was exceedingly wealthy and/or exceedingly strong and virile?
Next, the limitation very clearly states; “.. but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them) then only one …”
Woman’s Right To Choose Any Husband She Likes –
Even If He Is Already Married
One very important point that is often overlooked by modern society is the right that Islam gave to women which isn`t given to men. A man is limited to marry only from the woman who is not already married. Obviously, this provides rights for the children and the right to inherit from the father. But Islam also permits the women to marry a man who is already married to protect her in a society where the number of women outnumbers the population of men. Additionally, the woman has a large selection of men to choose from. In fact, she has the right to choose from any man in the community as long as he does not already have four wives. She also has the opportunity to see how the other wife was being treated and go into a marriage knowing exactly what to expect from her husband. After all, he must treat her in the same way as he is treating the other wife.
Women Need Husbands – Allah Provided the Answer
The prophet, peace be upon him, predicted that in the Last Days the women would outnumber the men to a great extent. Today we are seeing this become a reality all over the world. Allah has already provided for us for this occasion. After all, He is the One who makes it all happen and He already knew that many women would come into Islam in these days. He also knew many of the Muslim men would be killed or die at an early age, just as it is happening these days. Allah these women need husbands. Allah has given us the solution to all of life’s problems.
“Muhammad’s favorite wife, A’isha, according to her biographer, was
six when they wed, nine when the marriage was consummated. In Iran
the legal age for marriage is nine for girls, 14 for boys”
Allah has willed for this to happen in order to keep the sirah (life) of prophet Mohammad pbuh alive even after his death, because she had fresh memory at a young age , remembered everything, & she was the first one in number of Hadiths (sayings & acts of prophet Mohammad pbuh) she narrated.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was the last of the Prophets and the best of creation; and ‘A’isha was a very intelligent and observant young girl with a very good memory. ‘A’isha (may Allah be pleased with her) spent the next nine years of her life with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and she grew into womanhood, she remembered all that she saw and heard with great clarity, for to be the wife of the Prophet was even more than extraordinary. So much happened around him – the Quran continued to be revealed, verses by verses, and people’s hearts were constantly being turned over and transformed, including hers and she was a witness of so much of all that took place. It is not surprising, therefore, that a great deal of the knowledge that we still have today, about how the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) lived and behaved, was first remembered and then taught to others by ‘A’isha. It is thanks to this exceptional marriage, between a man nearing the end of his life and a woman still near the beginning of hers, that we know so much about the both of them
“Wives in Islamic societies face great difficulty in suing for
divorce, but husbands can be released from their vows virtually on
demand, in some places merely by saying “I divorce you” three
times.”
a wife can demand for a divorce if she does not like her husband for any reason. She can do so giving him back the bridal money he gave her. This is lawful as proved in the Qur’an and the prophetic narration: Allaah says (which means): {… Then if you fear that they would not be able to keep the limits ordained by Allaah, then there is no sin on either of them if she gives back (the Mahr or a part of it) for her Al-Khul’ (divorce).}[2: 229] , this case is called “Khulu”
The Prophet said to the wife of Thaabit Ibn Qays “Will you return his garden?” She said, “Yes”, then the Prophet ordered Thaabit to accept the garden and divorce her.” [al-Bukhaari]
the same case if a man divorces his wife, he has to pay for her.
“”Islam supposedly gives me the right to divorce,”
she says. “But what about my rights afterward?”"
In Islam, the woman is not neglected after the divorce. Indeed husbands are instructed to provide housing to the divorced wife until her waiting period is completed
“Women’s rights are compromised further by a section in the Koran, sura 4:34, that has been interpreted to say that men have “pre-eminence” over women or that they are “overseers” of women.”
first let`s read the verse : 4-34 “Men are the protectors and maintainers of women because of what Allah has preferred one with over the other and because of what they spend to support them from their wealth.”
What does it mean that men are “protectors and maintainers” of women? To answer this question, let us first look at the Arabic word that we are translating as “protectors and maintainers”. This word is “qawwâmûn” the plural of “qawwâm”.
This word – qawwâm – in turn, is an emphatic form of the word “qayyim”, which means a person who manages the affairs of others. The qayyim of a people is the one who governs their affairs and steers their course. Likewise, the qayyim of a woman is either her husband or her guardian – the one who has to look after her and ensure that her needs are met.
When Allah says: “Men are the qawwâmûn of women…” it means – and Allah knows best – that men are held liable for handling the affairs of women and are responsible for the women under their care. A husband, therefore, has the responsibility of taking care of his wife, protecting her, defending her honor, and fulfilling her needs regarding her religion and her worldly life. It does not mean – as all too many people have falsely assumed – that he has the right to behave obstinately towards her, compel her, subject her to his will, suppress her individuality, and thus heinously negate her identity.
His status as protector and maintainer is pure responsibility, pure liability, and not so much a position of authority. It requires from him that he uses his good sense, thinks carefully about what he does, and exercises patience. It means that he cannot be hasty and offhanded in his decisions. It does not mean that he can disregard his wife’s opinions and belittle her good person.
“beating is so prevalent in the Muslim world that social workers who assist battered women in Egypt, for example, spend much of their time trying to convince victims that their husbands’ violent acts are unacceptable.”
this is what islam says :
prophet Mohammad pbuh said “Do not beat the female servants of Allah”
he said as well : “the best of you is the best to his wife”
he also said :”Some (women) visited my family complaining about their husbands (beating them). These (husbands) are not the best of you.”
In another Hadith the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) is reported to have said: “How does anyone of you beat his wife as he beats the stallion camel and then he may embrace (sleep with) her?”
” Each year hundreds of Muslim women die in “honor killings”– murders by husbands or male relatives of women suspected of disobedience, usually a sexual indiscretion or marriage against the family’s wishes.”
“There is no such concept in Islam that is called “honor killing”. Islam holds every soul in high esteem and does not allow any transgression upon it. It does not allow people to take the law in their own hands and administer justice, because doing so will be leading to chaos and lawlessness. Therefore, based on this, Islam does not permit such killings.
First of all, in order to sanction killing, it must be through a binding verdict issued by an authoritative law court. Individuals themselves have no authority either to judge cases or pass judgments. Therefore, a Muslim should not sanction such killing because doing so will be leading to the rule of the law of the jungle. A civilized society cannot be run by such laws.”
“Like all other religions, Islam strictly prohibits murder and killing without legal justification. Allah, Most High, says, “Whoso slayeth a believer of set purpose, his reward is Hell for ever. Allah is wroth against him and He hath cursed him and prepared for him an awful doom.” (An-Nisa’: 93)
The so-called “honor killing” is based on ignorance and disregard of morals and laws, which cannot be abolished except by disciplinary punishments.
“In Islam, there is no place for unjustifiable killing. Even in case of capital punishment, only the government can apply the law through the judicial procedures. No one has the authority to execute the law other than the officers who are in charge.
Honor killing could be a wrong cultural tradition. It is unjust and inhumane action. The murderer of that type deserves punishment.”
“Female circumcision, also called female genital mutilation, is another case
in point. It involves removing part or all of a girl’s clitoris and
labia in an effort to reduce female sexual desire and thereby
preserve chastity.”
female circumcision is more a cultural practice than a matter of Islamic teachings. the hadîth (sayings of prophet Mohammad pbuh) which refer to the practice are all weak. The presence of that practice in Egypt an Nubia up to this day is just a continuation of a practice that has been around since the time of the Pharaohs. It is often hard for people to give up deeply ingrained customs and cultural practiced. They continue to be passed down from generation to generation.
Another example of the tenacity of custom is the practice among Indian Muslims where the woman pays a dowry to the husband. This is a pre-Islamic Indian custom that Islam declares false. Islam requires the husband to pay a dowry to the wife. Nevertheless, this custom persists among Muslims in both India and Pakistan, even though the history of Islam in India goes back for many long centuries.
Likewise, Islam put an end to many pre-Islamic customs that marginalized women and denied them their rights. It put an end to people condemning each other’s lineages. It put an end to the practice of wailing at a person’s burial. Nonetheless, these practices can still be seen in some Muslim societies and are often regarded by the people of those societies to be part and parcel of Islamic Law.
The Shâfi`î school of law has been the prevalent legal school in Egypt since its formative years. It may be that the scholars of the Shâfi`î school who promoted the view that female circumcision is obligatory had been influenced by the prevailing culture of the region.
There is no evidence that this practice was widespread among the Pious Predecessors. Moreover, the practice has never been prevalent in the regions where Islam originated – Mecca and Madinah and the surrounding areas of Arabia. It is extremely rare. If female circumcision had truly been endorsed by Islamic Law, it would certainly have been practiced and perpetuated in those regions. Only male circumcision is practiced, due to the authentic evidence in the Sunnah that it is part of the natural way (fitrah).
We conclude that female circumcision is merely a cultural practice that has no prescribed Islamic ruling for it and that is supported by no decisive ****ual evidence. It is simply a regional custom in the places where it is practiced. We must then take into consideration that many medical professionals consider it to have detrimental affects for the girls who undergo the operation. On that basis, it would be impermissible to allow this custom to continue. In Islamic Law, preservation of the person – the life and bodily soundness of the person – is a legal necessity. Anything that compromises this legal necessity by bringing harm to the person is unlawful.
“They are required to cover their bodies–in varying degrees
in different places–for fear they might arouse the lust of men
other than their husbands.
But many Muslim women feel cultural and family pressure to cover themselves.”
Muslim women observe HIJAB (covering the head and the body) because Allah has told them to do so.
“O Prophet, tell your wives and daughters and the believing women to draw their outer garments around them (when they go out or are among men). That is better in order that they may be known (to be Muslims) and not annoyed…” (Qur’an 33:59)
Other secondary reasons include the requirement for modesty in both men and women. Both will then be evaluated for intelligence and skills instead of looks and sexuality. A Muslim school girl is quoted as saying, “We want to stop men from treating us like sex objects, as they have always done. We want them to ignore our appearance and to be attentive to our personalities and mind. We want them to take us seriously and treat us as equals and not just chase us around for our bodies and physical looks.” A Muslim woman who covers her head is making a statement about her identity. Anyone who sees her will know that she is a Muslim and has a good moral character. Many Muslim women who cover are filled with dignity and self esteem; they are pleased to be identified as a Muslim woman. As a chaste, modest, pure woman, she does not want her sexuality to enter into interactions with men in the smallest degree. A woman who covers herself is concealing her sexuality but allowing her femininity to be brought out.
Often forgotten is the fact that modern Western dress is a new invention. Looking at the clothing of women as recently as seventy years ago, we see clothing similar to hijab. These active and hard-working women of the West were not inhibited by their clothing which consisted of long, full dresses and various types of head covering. Muslim women who wear hijab do not find it impractical or interfering with their activities in all levels and walks of life. Hijab is not merely a covering dress but more importantly, it is behavior, manners, speech and appearance in public. Dress is only one facet of the total being. The basic requirement of the Muslim woman’s dress apply to the Muslim man’s clothing with the difference being mainly in degree. Modesty requires that the area between the navel and the knee be covered in front of all people except the wife. The clothing of men should not be like the dress of women, nor should it be tight or provocative. A Muslim should dress to show his identity as a Muslim. Men are not allowed to wear gold or silk. However, both are allowed for women.
For both men and women, clothing requirements are not meant to be a restriction but rather a way in which society will function in a proper, Islamic manner
“Muslim countries tradition keeps ordinary women at home and off the
Street”
This also is not true. The social structure in the East where Islam (Submission) prevails encourages the woman to make her house her first priority but there is no prohibition whatsoever on women having to work and earn their living. The Muslim (submitter) woman has been given the privilege to earn money, the right to own property, to enter into legal contracts and to manage all of her assets in any way she pleases. She can hold a job or run her own business and no one has any claim on her earnings including her husband. Historically, Muhammed’s first wife was a merchant who hired Muhammed to work for her. Muslim women went along with their husbands, fathers and brothers during battles to take care of the wounded and help in the back lines of the troops..
“no right for woman to vote in islam”
This also is not true. Women in Islam (Submission) have the right to vote, express their views on any public matter, run for an office and even be the head of a state
Allah said in the Holy Quran :
60-12 “O Prophet! when believing women come to you giving you a pledge that they will not associate aught with Allah, and will not steal, and will not commit fornication, and will not kill their children, and will not bring a calumny which they have forged of themselves, and will not disobey you in what is good, accept their pledge, and ask forgiveness for them from Allah; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful”

If you ask most men they will tell you that they are not sure what to say or what to do when they approach an attractive woman. They want to know what the latest pickup line is and they will search the Internet for different websites to obtain different ammunition so they can impress a woman.
The problem with this approach is that it doesn’t work because the guy is trying to be someone he is not. Pickup lines have their place as long as they don’t sound like pickup lines.
Let’s take a closer look at what a pick up line is and what an icebreaker is. A pickup line is generally just what the name implies and that it is designed to pick up on a woman. But most men walk away feeling frustrated because their intention was to pick her up instead of simply trying to get to know her or trying to make her feel good.
A far better approach is to use a solid icebreaker. An icebreaker is far more effective because it comes off as more natural.
Let me give you an example of what I am talking about.
Let’s say that you are at a private house party and that there are a lot of guests and people are standing around talking and having a good time. You see a woman from across the room, she has long hair, a beautiful smile, and she’s holding her drink out as though to say “come over and talk to me big boy”.
Since you are a confident male you walk up to her and you simply say, “Excuse me, but I was wondering if you have ever heard of gazing into a person’s spirit?” And most women will respond to that by saying they have never heard of gazing.
This is known as an icebreaker because you’re walking up to a woman and simply asking her if she knows about something. Whether she does her she doesn’t is irrelevant because if she knows about it she will give you her opinion. If she doesn’t know about it then you can educate her and show her what it means.
Now for this example it’s really not that important what gazing into a person’s spirit really means because you can pretty much make that up. The important thing is is that you are using an icebreaker instead of a pickup line.
In other words, you are communicating that you are a fun person that you have a certain knowledge on a certain subject. You can find out all kinds of neat sayings despite going to Google.com and doing a search on different topics.
Here is another good example of an icebreaker. One criteria of a good icebreaker is that it leaves the woman feeling good about herself and feeling good about your interaction together, even if nothing romantic transpires between both of you.
One of my favorite icebreakers is to simply ask women if they know what their horoscope said today. This is a win-win situation for both of you because even if she does know hat her horoscope is you can simply ask her what it said and then you can comment on it. If she doesn’t know what her horoscope is you can simply make something up.
I don’t recommend you do that because you can simply go on the Internet and look up all the horoscopes for that day and simply read them a couple times and you’ll be able to remember the highlights of each one. Women love talking about their horoscope.
So go out there and try some icebreakers instead of trying so hard to pick up a pretty woman. You will find that this approach is 10 times more effective than using pickup lines.

We are first conditioned by our parents,relatives and other well meaning people. A lot of these suggestions are beneficial to us, such as stay away from that, it is hot;do not eat that it will make you sick; or you may want to do that differently. Good advice and many helpful ideas. However, if we carry a lot of this advice through to adulthood it is no longer appropriate.
Many parents will put their fears upon their children. Such things as the fear of drowning by going into water, fear of dogs and many other animals. These, though are only the tip of the iceberg. There are the relationship areas as well to be aware of. This will include such sayings as, ‘Men only love one thing,’ or ‘All women ever want is your money.’
Our parents are our first teachers and for survival reasons we need to take notice of them. Pretty basic stuff and that is the way it is. Without looking at our beliefs with a fine toothed comb we will not be aware of the limitations that we carry with us. These will be in the form of beliefs, expectations or attitudes to many areas such as money, relationships and the world in general.
These beliefs will not only affect our general reality, but our health and prosperity as well. An example of this can be found within the modality of Emotional Freedom Technique. The practitioner may uncover a pattern. This pattern is one where the client experiences many allergies. What therapists have found is that the patient has an underlying belief that the world is an unsafe place for them. If one watches the TV news or reads the paper then you could easily take on the belief that the world is not a safe place. The reason however here is that the news is spoon fed to us to highlight the sensational and disastrous and fearful. A lot of people have a great appetite for information presented in this way.
So, what do we do about our limiting beliefs? We all know people whom we would not judge as more intelligent, beautiful or handsome than us and yet they seem to have great ease in their lives. We know others who are in the same profession or job and they seem to be far in advance of us in getting ahead. It does not seem matter what neighborhood they live in in either, so it is not their location that makes the difference. Then what is it?
The first step is to become aware of what is going on in your life and patterns of experience that repeat themselves. Some of these may be in the realm of money such as emulating one or both of your parents belief systems and behaviors towards money. Begin by becoming aware of patterns in your life and the life of your parents.
There are many books to read on this subject and courses to experience, to assist in bringing patterns to the fore. There is much to be said for gathering with others in a group situation with the intent of working through these issues. You will find there will be much triggering and heightening of awareness. This will give you more choices for inner growth.
once you begin this journey you will find that it is never ending throughout your life. You will notice, without judgment, people who just want to stay and operate in their comfort zone. You will be aware that this is not your path as you are choosing a path of expansion and growth of an inward nature. This usually takes greater courage and determination than an outer journey, and can be ever so much more rewarding.
Take care and enjoy!

Who is winning the war? Do you want to know the final outcome of the wars that are being fought globally? Everyone you talk to has a different opinion about which war should or should not be waged and whether or not the sacrifices are worth it.
Instead of trying to make sense of global strife, do not lean on your own understanding (Prov. 3:5) but consider what God has to say. The Bible is not merely a book of wise sayings; it is chockfull of prophesies, all of which have been coming to pass.
You may be wondering what Alqaeda, the Taliban and North Korea’s nuclear power have in common. They all ultimately have their fury set on the United States and Israel. The world is trying to decipher it in its own way. Yet, if you watch and listen closely to the news you will hear that the Muslim population considers Western nations to be Christian and pro-Israel. Whether they realize it or not, they are right about one thing. The time is fast approaching when there will be only two global enemies. Those who know the God of Israel and those who hate Him! The end-time prophesies are numerous and being fulfilled daily.
“When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob. And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the Lord their God.” (Ez. 28: 25-26)
As a born again believer, you are grafted into the spiritual Israel (Rom. 11:17)and are of Abraham’s spiritual seed. God’s promise to Abraham was: “I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee.” (Gen. 12:3)
Those who curse Israel are already cursed.
Today, as never before, is not the time to be sitting on the fence. Are you looking for the Truth? Seek the Lord while He may be found. Call upon Him while He is near! (Isa. 55:6) Many calamities will happen, as well as a false peace. Be prepared! True, lasting and global Peace will only be obtained when everyone is united in God’s Love. Jesus Christ is the embodiment of that Love. The Lord God Almighty and the Lamb will be the temple of the New Jerusalem. And the city will have no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it; for the glory of God will light it. “The Lamb is the light thereof and nothing unclean will enter it except “they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.” (Rev. 21: 22-27)
“The tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.” (Rev. 21:3)
Are you sure your name is in the Lamb’s book of life? Jesus is waiting: “behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” (Rev. 22: 12-17)
You are winning the war if you confess that Jesus is the Son of God as God then dwells in you and you in God. (1 John 4: 15) Whosoever is born of God overcomes the world. “Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? (1 John 5: 4,5)

Someone once told me that if you found something good to say
that you should never be afraid to repeat it. Men will quote
Bible long after I’m gone and the words of people like Abraham
Lincoln or George Washington will be repeated countless times
but no one will say when its time to quit repeating their
sayings. Such words are never put to rest they are only passed
on to others, they belong to humanity they are legacy and wisdom
and will never cease to salt the earth. Here are some of the
best words I have heard in my brief stay on this old planet.
The three golden gates is something I first heard about from one
of my first pastors, Richard Land. It did not originate with him
but I have always been glad that he chose to repeat these words
to me. Richard is now heard across the nation daily on hundreds
of family life radio stations.
He said that before you say anything to anybody you should see
if it can pass successfully through all three of the golden
gates. If it couldn’t make it through all three gates it was
probably not something that should be spoken at all.
The first golden gate is, “Is It True.” For most people this is
the only gate they let their words pass through. Who has not
heard someone retort “well it is true isn’t it” right after they
had slaughtered someone with a few poison words. This is poor
diplomacy at best and is often used as a cloke of maliciousness.
That something is true is not a mandate for you to repeat it to
the hurt of others. It is no secret that truth without love is
cruelty and love without truth is sentimentality. Many truths
are weapons in the hands of those whose motive it is to hurt.
Truth then is only gate number one, so lets move on.
The second golden gate is, “Is It Needful.” Regardless of the
veracity of what you are about to say, do you really need to say
it? Here is where a lot of retort will fail to report. Most of
the nasty things repeated would have no sting at all if they
attempted to pass through gate two. Only people of character
will have a gate number two. People who care about others, who
understand the weight of words and who seek love are those who
have a second golden gate. The power of this golden gate comes
from the golden rule. If we disregard someone else’s peace,
privacy or dignity who will guard our own?
The third golden gate is, “Is It Kind.” This is the gate that
causes a person to honestly look at their own motives for saying
something. True things can be spoken to hurt. Un-needful things
are spoken daily by the careless and indifferent. Words spoken
without love are the worst of the bunch because they have a
lingering and damaging effect whose poison goes on and on. They
are the great enemy of mankind. The are the precursors to every
evil result from hatred to murder. Most words that have made it
through the first two gates will fail at gate number three.
These gates are useful in almost every personal relationship you
will ever have. They can help marriages, families, and any
interaction with anyone on any level. They require a conscious
effort to use and in time you will become more skillful at using
them but in every case you will become a better person for
trying

Web hosting has become a hard line business. There were times when it used to prove costly to avail web hosting services but now there are options like low cost web hosting which offers quality services at low costs. The only difference is that you don’t get a brand name attached with the low cost hosting. There are many of us who go crazy for brand names and are ready to pay even the double amount only for the sake of a large and popular name, but under it, we get the same quality. So, if you are trying for low cost hosting, just take care of some of the requirements which can ensure a good low cost web hosting.
The first thing to check is the disk space. Majority of the websites need less than 100 Mb space and within it, one can easily accommodate the images and other files. With such a space, the average cost of the website must be approximately 0.10$ per MB. So, if you are getting low cost web site hosting within this pricing, then it is a good pricing. Next thing which you must check is the bandwidth, which is used for transferring the data. Hence, the low cost web hosting that you are availing must offer sufficient bandwidth which can upload your files and images at a faster time.
Also remember that never take low cost web site hosting contracts for longer durations. You must first take it on monthly contracts and observe the performance and services. If satisfactory, then only you should renew the contracts else you should move and try for any other web hosting company. One must be aware about the low cost hosting companies who try to catch the attention of customers by offering more discounts on long terms of registration. But beware as they can be cheats also who will not offer you promised services once the contract has been signed.

Every expecting mother – and some fathers, too – enjoys picking out baby clothes. As you browse through all of the selections available, you dream of cradling your soft and warm bundle of joy close to you while staring adoringly into his or her eyes. But, when it comes to selecting infant clothes, there are a few things you need to be aware of in order to keep your baby safe and comfortable.
Ease of Use
As a parent, you definitely want to be sure the baby clothes you pick out are easy to use. There is nothing more frustrating than chasing little legs and arms and trying to force them into infant clothes that simply are not baby-friendly. Worse yet, once you manage to get the clothes securely in place, your baby manages to wiggle free and you have to start the entire process over again. Not only is this time-consuming and difficult for you, it is not much fun for your baby either.
With our baby sleep suits for boys and girls, you won’t have to worry about it. Complete with cute little designs and sayings, our sleep suits contain leg poppers to make dressing easy. The envelope necks also make them easy to slip on and off your baby and provide him or her with plenty of room to move in comfort. Something that will make you and your baby both happy.
The Ability to Stay Put
Baby clothes can be difficult to keep on an infant. Their bodies simply aren’t shaped to hold on clothes in the way clothes fit on adults. They are round and pudgy without hips to help hold their pants on. In addition, their constant movement often causes shirts to ride up and expose their little bellies. For this reason, bodysuits and romper suits can often be a great choice when it comes to infant clothes, particularly in the winter time when you want them to stay put in order to keep your baby warm.
Keeping Clean
Everyone knows that baby’s are not exactly clean. Therefore, you want to find t-shirts and long sleeve shirts that are easy to wash and stain resistant, while still being comfortable to your baby. Therefore, baby clothes made of cotton are often the best choice.
Of course, no shirt is able to fend off all of the stains your baby will encounter, making a bib a good idea. We have many adorable designs to choose from and they all come with extra padding to ensure fluids don’t soak through and ruin your infant clothes. After a quick wash and a press, the bibs will look good as new.
Staying Safe
Safety is, above all else, the number one priority when it comes to infant clothes. Therefore, all of our baby clothes are created with safety in mind first. The bibs are made with Velcro latches, which are strong enough to keep them in place on your baby but are still able to detach easily in order to prevent choking in case of an accident.
Our nightwear, is safe, as well. You will never have to worry about any of these nighttime baby clothes becoming tangled around your baby or causing any safety problems at night. This is a fact that will allow both you and your baby to get a good night’s rest every night.
