EDITOR NOTE At Christian Times Magazine, our mission is to distinguish ourselves from those who are providing the world with fake news. We report on facts and we have a team of professional reporters and columnists who provide insightful analysis and accurate reporting on the breaking stories happening right now. We are a source of truth and tradition at a time when the world needs it most.

CTM has been established for some time and we are becoming a respected brand across the United States. To continue that success, we need support from our readers, who make everything we do possible.

Our President, Donald Trump, is being vilified by the mainstream media. He has had some outstanding achievements, like cutting taxes for millions of ordinary Americans and withdrawing the United States from the hated Iran and Paris Climate Agreements. When people are searching for the truth about what our great President has done, we need to be there to ensure people are hearing facts, not fiction.

CTM intends to launch a News TV channel soon, which shows how well Christian Times Magazine is doing across our nation. But again, we cannot make these accomplishments happen without your support. Together, Christian Times Magazine's readers and writers can Make America Great Again.

Yours Sincerely,

Anil Anwar CEO / President

“stay naway from those windows” This relativistic trend, that is spreading everywhere from television to Congress, is becoming incredibly strange. Being a politically minded person, I immediately think of the climate change hysteria. Then, of course, there is the troubling rise in support for Socialism, particularly among young people. The most immediately concerning problem is this disturbing identity crisis trend among children who are only questioning themselves and their feelings because they are being taught, through a variety of sources, that all human sexuality is fluid. They are now questioning themselves because they are confused and because it has become popular and even powerful to question their identity and to be oppressed.

unproven theory. It is a series of fluctuating false absolutes. Have you ever heard of any decent scientist in your entire life, until recently, of course, pronouncing anything as permanently “settled science” particularly due to some kind of fictitious majority vote? No decent scientist would ever do that. Even if they were 99.99…% sure that they were correct they would still say something such as “based on our current level of understanding we think” or something to that effect.

Each piece of data is a small part of the overall fundamental truth that is slowly being discovered over time. With each discovery, our knowledge expands, and theories slowly evolve.

Socialism

One world-ending method of destruction based on selfdelusion is of course not enough for humanity. We have to learn the calamitous lessons of the destructive nature of Socialism for ourselves rather than learning from the mistakes of others throughout history.

This shocking rise in support for Socialism, particularly among the youth, is incredible. Somehow, they managed to get through school without being taught anything about

the horrors of socialism and the millions of people who have suffered and died because of it. They actually believe that it is the kind and moral option. If they have heard of the oppression, starvation, and mass murders of the past they are convinced that they are somehow going to be the first people moral enough to implement it correctly.

An unintended consequence of the effort to make everyone feel loved and accepted, along with this relativistic trend, seems to have resulted in the popularization and promotion of an inaccurate belief in the sexual fluidity of all human beings. We all have some aspect of ourselves that is different from others. Elizabeth Taylor, for example, had violet eyes and a double row of

They seem to imagine some kind of glorified hippie commune where everyone is happy, healthy, has an iPhone, free Wi-Fi, and is surrounded by only that which is good. No one seems to have told them why the hippie movement failed either. Knowing the results of the supposedly moral policies of Socialism, and its comrades, I have this urge to yell “stay away from those windows, or you are going to end up living in squalor and dying like those poor people from the U.S.S.R. or eating food out of trashcans like the Venezuelans.”

While we are all unique in a number of ways, it is simply not true that all human beings are sexually fluid with no natural inclination to think of themselves as the sex that correlates with their body or to be attracted to members of the opposite sex. There is nothing shocking about this. There have been numerous studies that have shown this to be true. These are just three issues that illuminate the destabilizing effect that the popularization of relativistic individualized “truths” are

COME TO THE MOUNTAIN Pastor Robert Summers and I have been friends for 47 years. I first met him in our home while we were pastoring a church in Buffalo, Texas. I had begun a new work there in the small Central Texas town and had invited him to come and speak to our young people at the youth center we had just established. If my memory serves me correct, it was a Friday evening and he had stopped by the parsonage so that we could meet and then drive over together to the youth center.

The name of the work was called, YOUTHARAMA. We were just waiting for the Friday night football game to end at the local high school football stadium. Some of the ladies who were working with me at the time were already there at YOUTHARAMA and were preparing for the arrival of all the teenagers following the game. The ladies in the community would prepare sandwiches, cookies and light refreshments and Sodas for the young people and bring them over on Friday and Saturday nights.

Robert and I visited for a few minutes and then we drove on over to YOUTHARAMA. That night the youth played ping-pong and pool and some table games, and then we began to sing some songs together. Then Robert gave an inspirational message to the young people. We had a good-sized crowd of youth that evening for his visit with us. He later became one of our frequent visitors to the youth center to speak and inspire our young people to follow Christ. In 1974, when my family and I moved into the Youth Center full-time, we had an official ‘Grand Opening’ and Robert was the featured speaker.

CTM | ISSUE 33 | PAGE 14

Our paths would cross back-and-forth, again and again over the next few years and our friendship would grow and mature. In 1977, we moved the ministry down to the Texas Hill Country(at Canyon Lake) and later, my wife and I became the Youth and Childrens’ ministers at Church in the Wildwood, where Robert’s Dad was Senior Pastor.

In 1985, Robert and his wife JoAn felt called to the Dallas Texas area to begin a new ministry, which would later become known as Mountain Creek Church. Eventually, property was purchased on top of a mountain - the highest Peak in Dallas County. A prayer ministry was developed from this mount and it became known as, ‘Prayer Mountain.’

Ministries conducted on this mountain evolve around the activities of the church body, which meets regularly on Sundays - morning and evening. The Church and Prayer Mountain have a continual flow of unique ministries moving forth from the mountain. A Healing Ministry is conducted there weekly for those in need of Prayer and Healing. An active ministry to Youth and children are under the leadership of capable Youth Directors. The Church meets regularly for Fellowship Dinners and The Men have a regular time monthly for Men’s Breakfasts.

The true cry of their ‘heartbeat’ is made regularly throughout The MetroPlex and the nation to everyone to ‘Come To The Mountain’ for a time of repentance and devotion to God, and for times of Renewal before The Almighty. These times are for the strengthening of the body of Christ throughout the nation.

There are currently hiking and biking trails being developed on the 100 acre complex. These Trails are for the purpose of encouraging Wounded Veterans to come for hiking and biking as a means of helping and healing from post traumatic stress.

The New Pavilion on the mountain Is nearly complete and will be Dedicated in October 2019. The governor of Texas has been invited and is expected to attend. The public is cordially invited as well.

From this time forward, there will go out a cry from the heartbeat of this mountain, ‘Prayer Mountain Dallas,’ to many parts of this nation, and that cry will be without a doubt, “Come To The Mountain!”

And from that mountain there shall flow rivers of healing and salvation to many throughout the world; because the vision of this church and the ministries conducted there by Prayer Mountain Dallas are worldwide in scope.

These ministries are anointed of God and The Holy Spirit and will be for years to come.

To God be the glory Sincerely, Charles LingerfeltAssociate Publisher CHRISTIAN TIMES MAGAZINE

Brief summary of the ministry at Prayer Mountain and Mountain Creek Community Church Prayer Mountain and the related congregation were founded in 1985 with a vision to serve the DFW Metroplex by providing a special park setting for prayer retreats. The Mountain is the highest point overlooking the six million population Metroplex.

The Mountain Creek Church began in our own living room with 16 people in 1985. Robert and Joan Summers founded the ministry. From the beginning well seasoned men of God have served as presbyters: Des Evans, Cleddie Keith, Jim Mackey and others.

We began with 5 acres. The forested campus eventually grew to 100 acres.

Prayer Mountain sponsors a Healing Room every Saturday. This ministry is led by Joseph and Mary Gracey. They were originally part of International House of Prayer in Kansas City. Â

We strongly believe in the importance of united prayer. We work with prayer groups from various ethnicities and denominations. We pastored Church in the Wildwood where we evangelized and discipled young Hippies who had lived in communes in the hills. We built a small Bible school there for training youth. Dad and mom summers were church planters. They were a source of prayer and inspiration for Prayer Mountain. This was their 7th plant. Our congregation is composed of many well experienced missionaries. We have traveled in many nations- seeing the great need.

CTM | ISSUE 33 | PAGE 16

We regularly have hundreds of people coming to the mountain. We have built this outdoor meeting place with large full bathrooms. Three large Mountain bike clubs have worked to create 17 miles of looping trails through the woods. State bicycle rallies are regularly held here. Our youth receive the concession profits for their outreach. The biking and hiking trails are known as The Big Cedar Wilderness Trails. You may look us up on the internet.

Our church staff serves under an eldership board. Our elders look to seasoned presbyters for crucial direction of leadership. Our grounds and prayer rooms are open daily with staff and security present.

We have, through prayer, experienced many miracles. I regularly remind our people to remember these, to monument these miracles to build our faith. (See short blog on the subject) We have proven that small congregations can do big things for God.

percent. The plan also has layers of protection for American jobs and wages, including recruitment requirements, displacement prohibitions, and wage floors.

•

Promote national unity. The President's plan is designed to attract immigrants who are ready to integrate into

America's melting pot. Before being able to apply, green card applicants must pass a U.S. civics exam and demonstrate English proficiency. The plan also gives priority to young applicants who are likely to build long-term ties and contribute to our society over their lifetimes.

•

Prioritize the immediate families of U.S. citizens and new immigrants. Spouses and children of U.S. citizens and

initiating immigrants should be at the front of the line to obtain a green card. The President's plan prioritizes immediate family members of U.S. citizens and permanent residents.

•

Increases diversity and equality. No matter where in the world someone is born or who their relatives are, if they want

to become American, they should face the same standard as anyone else applying. The "Build America Visa" will use a clear, fair point-based criteria—one that prizes extraordinary achievement and potential to contribute to our Nation—to determine who should be issued a green card for permanent residence in the United States.

This outline all sounds like common sense, and how is it that we have not been doing this already? We must do better, and our President is trying to do just that. The democrats who have agreed with these ideas in the past will launch into hysterics once legislation is introduced in the House. Once the final version is available for review and comment, we shall see what the Dems have to say.

Finally, as a reminder, none of this will matter if the border is not secured. The people will keep on coming. The cost will keep on rising. We must have an endgame in the plan. The cost of managing this crisis will continue to drain from our economy, education, jobs, training, and finally, a spiraling tax burden with no end in sight. As President Trump has said, a better America is a better world. MAGA.

But with the huge influx of immigrants coming across the porous southern border, it is hard to fathom that the number hasn’t changed since the Bush Administration.

A study led by Dr. Mohammad Fazel Zarandi at Yale University shows that the number of illegals residing in the U.S. is closer to 23 million and may be as high as 29 million. Other studies place the number between 20 and 38 million. Recently, illegal immigration has become a hot button issue among swing voters, and the Democrats do not want them knowing the true number of illegal aliens living here as recent polls show that swing voters coming out strongly against illegal immigration.

investigation farther. His focus is now on Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. He requested the past personal emails and text from both. When he was asked about probable cause. He stated in a huff, “Probable cause, we don't need, we can go around probable cause.”

At one point I agreed with the above fb post that said the Stormy Daniels issue was the left's lowest point. Apparently Cummings took that as a challenge. When anyone decides to step around the everyday rights and rules of law to get what they want, it shows more about their character than any other words they have spoken. Cummings stepping around the law in order to use any desperate measure to bring President Trump down is only one of the many character flaws of the Democratic Party. As future investigations take place, I hope the American people who fell apart over the election will realize just how low their party of choice has sunk.

They have lead their flock into the arms of socialism while lining their pockets. The cities they are supposed to guide have become like third world countries and the people in those cities have reached points of hopelessness. It's time to vote these people out and replace them with patriotic America loving leaders who will look out for the future of their people, not put them on welfare.

When 2020 rolls around, vote RED. At this point you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

The problem with NHS reform is that the British press and public fear any reorganisation will end the principle of free point of entry for millions of citizens.

Despite this, Corbyn has failed to use Trump’s visit as an opportunity to destroy the special relationship, one the UK will need post-Brexit.

to Congress but by screeching and squawking in a wide variety of outlets including her own social media. She is in favor of free college tuition, Medicare for all, a Federal jobs guarantee, and the radical and expensive “Green New Deal”. In a short time Cortez has built a strong reputation as a drama queen, a liar, and a party animal.

A quick tour of both NY and Washington DC thus demonstrates the diabolical depths to which the D party has plunged the nation’s 4th most populous state. Recently New York is one of the few states to be losing population. Voters are fleeing high taxes, rising violent crime rates, and excessive regulation. About 50,000 residents leave every year, according to Jan Vink of the Cornell University Program on Applied Demographics, and the trend is accelerating.

Following the 2020 census, the state may lose a few seats in Congress along with billions in Federal funding.

At the same time, state and local tax bases are being eroded, resulting inevitably in higher taxes for the residents remaining. Why? Because the D party in control shows no signs of cutting spending growth or even of slowing it down.

Over time the glory of the Big Apple -- once the great port and financial center -- sadly is being reduced by leftist policies, corruption, and abuse of power to a very big Detroit on the Hudson.

The Myth of Mr. Right or Ms. Right, we can do without. We need to discover who we are first, then so called Mr. Right or Ms. Right will come into position. I believe that preconceived notions are the death of many developing good relationships. We need to be patient and chased and let God make things clear to us. They can hide stuff from you, but they can hide nothing from God. The best advice I have is don’t rush into any relationship.

Confession time. In my first marriage I was not matched with the right woman for me, because I was in a hurry. She was a good woman, but ultimately not for me. We were married 11 years and had 2 children.
