South Sudan Conflict: 3.7 Million in Need of Food
South Sudan Conflict: 3.7 Million in Need of Food, UN Says - bbc.co.uk
Excerpt from this article:
"The UN's humanitarian co-ordinator in South Sudan Toby Lanzer told the BBC $1.3bn (£790m) was needed to deal with the crisis. Violence broke out in South Sudan on 15 December, starting as violence between rival army factions. It has now killed thousands of people and displaced around 860,000."

I don't have a "Donate" button on My Gospel Project. That is because I don't ask for - or accept - any donations. And I don't have any ads on this site. But while I don't want any donations for myself, I do ask my readers to donate to various causes that I believe in. For example, Sermonaudio.com, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, & Wycliffe Bible Translators.
When Typhoon Hiayan hit the Philippians, I ran several posts asking people to consider donating to the relief effort in that country (see: Typhoon Hiayan Aftermath: People Walking Around Like Zombies ...Looking For Food). My church supports a missionary in one of the areas hardest hit by Typhoon Hiayan, and so I was privy to timely reports of what was going on soon after the typhoon hit.
One of the things our missionary reported was that there was a lot of corruption in the Philippians government, and much of the money and food sent to the Philippians did not make it to the people effected by the typhoon, but rather ended up in the hands of the government.
Not long after Typhoon Hiayan hit the Philippians, another man I know flew from the Philippians to the United States. Without even telling him what my church's missionary said he told me that much of the food and money sent to the Philippians would likely never get to the people who need it the most. It would be skimmed off by corrupt politicians, bureaucrats and military personal (See Philippian corruption Magnifies Effects of Typhoon Hiayan).
I bring this up because I want to ask my readers to consider donating to the humanitarian crisis in South Sudan. But don't just write a check to the first organization that says they are going to help. Do your research.

More Than 60 Reported Tornados Hit Midwest
More Than 60 Reported Tornados Hit Midwest - theblaze.com
Our Nation Laid in God's Balance (2013) , by Dr. Joel Beeke
Amos 3 (1978), by Rev. Cornelis Pronk
Excerpt from this article:
"CNN said more than 60 tornadoes had been reported throughout the region as of 5:10 p.m. Sunday, citing the National Weather Service. 'The whole neighborhood’s gone. The
wall of my fireplace is all that is left of my house,' said Michael
Perdun, speaking by cellphone from the hard-hit town of Washington,
where he said his neighborhood was wiped out in a matter of seconds."
-----------------
I don't believe in global warming (see my latest post: It's Not Just Winter, It's A New Ice Age). But I do believe in climate change, or at least that there appears to be an increase in storms and earthquakes and such. I don't think this is related to how many cars are on the road, but rather it is just one more sign that the Bible is true and that our Lord Jesus is coming back soon (See Matthew 24 and Joel 2:28-32).
The Philippians were just hit by one of the strongest typhoons in recorded history, and now the Midwestern states in America have been hit by a reported 60 tornadoes.
As men sow in this seed time, they will reap in that harvest
Pastor Charles Spurgeon once said: "Life is seed time. Of all men it may be said, 'They have sown.' Prudent men put the question, 'What will the harvest be?'" (Source) And Ralph Venning wrote in the 1600s: "As men Sown in this seed time they will reap in that harvest." (Source)

Typhoon Haiyan Aftermath: "People Walking Around Like Zombies ... Looking for Food!"
Typhoon Death Counts Surpasses 10,000: People Walking Around Like Zombies Looking for Food; Martial Law Imminent - zerohedge.com
Excerpts from this article:
"It is truly stunning just how brittle the stability of society becomes once the 'just in time' amenities everyone takes for granted, disappear without a trace. Worst of all, the Philippines could be just the beginning: Vietnam is next, as is the very densely populated region of southern China. 'Vietnam authorities have moved 883,000 people in 11 central provinces to safe zones, according to the government's website.'"
Our Lord Jesus told a parable about how it will be for the lost on judgment day. He said:
"Then he shall say unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee a hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, In as much as ye did it not unto the least of these, ye did it not unto me." - Matthew 25:41-45

"Worse Than Hell!" The Philippians Typhoon Victims Call Out for Help!
According to CNN:
"People in the Philippines struggle to grasp the enormity of what they lost to Typhoon Haiyan and challenges they still face. The death toll may hit 10,000."
And Samaritan's Purse reports:
"Officials fear that up to 10,000 people could be dead in the city of Tacloban alone. Reports indicate that almost 650,000 people have been displaced."
----------------------
The Bible says:
"The righteous man considereth the cause of the poor, but the wicked regardeth not to know it." - Proverbs 29:7
Please consider donating to Samaritan's Purse, which is a Christian Organization that is in the Philippians right now helping those affected by typhoon Haiyan.
