For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

I loafe and invite my soul.

Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. It is truly more needful than ever that we as God's children watch and pray in these perilous times. It is imperative that we pay attention to what is happening around us because our world is changing rapidly, and these changes will affect every man, woman, and child on this planet which we presently occupy. Over the course of the last seven years that I have written this newsletter, I have noticed that the mainstream news cycle can be quite repetitive.

Each year, news outlets, seemingly working in concert, unleash a flood of stories regarding the devastating consequences of climate change. This fear mongering serves its purpose by emotionally and mentally battering the people of the world into submission. We are told over and over again that we all must .

However, I think it is important that we ask: what does going green really mean? In the minds of environmental extremists, people should be required to do far more than recycle bottles and cans, putter around town in a Toyota Prius, and buy wind generated power from the electric company. In July 2. 01. 7 Lund University in Sweden published a study which calls for drastic action. A portion of the paper declares. Have fewer children. What this report is really telling us is that having a large family is the worst thing anyone could do.

I cannot help but think of the words of Jesus that we find in Luke 2. People will be told that the world must unite to avert devastation, and human activity will be greatly restricted and controlled. Consider the Paris Agreement, which was signed in December 2.

This agreement, which calls on the nations of the world to unite in an effort to prevent global surface temperatures from rising 1. Celsius, from where they say it was before the Industrial Revolution, has been joined by nearly every country in the world, including North Korea.

Only the countries of Nicaragua and Syria refused to sign on. The original film, which was released in 2. In an effort to legitimize his prognostication, Gore was quoted as saying. However, former American President Barack Obama must feel that these rules should not apply to him. In May 2. 01. 7 Obama traveled to Milan, Italy, to speak at an event known as Seed & Chips: The Global Food Innovation Summit. Not only did Obama travel to this event in a private jet, but his entourage included a convoy of 1.

This vast consumption of fossil fuel enabled the former President to lecture the world about the overconsumption of meat. People aren't as familiar with the impact of cows and methane, unless you're a farmer. He then went on to say.

It doesn't mean we can't make progress in educating the advanced world about the need to reduce, just for dietary reasons, the amount of meat that we consume at any given meal. To this assertion Obama replied. Maybe hundreds. This is evident in recent comments made by famous scientist Bill Nye. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Nye was quoted as saying, . It's generational. So we're just going to have to wait for those people to 'age out,' as they say. Yet, this is likely the mentality of many liberal people today, even if they do not say so outright.

Nye's remarks were reminiscent of comments made by television star Oprah Winfrey in 2. Americans are still racist and.

We often hear stories of drought, famine, flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, record breaking cold temperatures, record breaking hot temperatures, animal die- offs, and other calamitous disruptions. Yet, people become so fixated on climate change that they never cry out to God, seeking rather to solve these problems themselves. Declining to have children, ditching your car, and adopting a vegan diet will not save the world. Isaiah 5. 5: 6- 7 tells us.

The world is changing, however, and cashiers may soon be asking customers if they are paying with a card, a microchip, or a smartphone. Cult Sci Fi Movies Chips (2017). Numerous countries around the world are growing extraordinarily close to becoming cashless societies.

For example, India removed more than 8. This is an important development because China is the world's most populous country, while India is the world's second most populous country. The combined population of China and India accounts for about 3. To demonstrate the pervasiveness of cashless transactions in China, a reporter named Jeremy Koh was recently sent out to conduct his everyday business on the streets of Beijing, and he was instructed by his editor not to use any cash whatsoever.

As it turns out, this was not a difficult task for Koh. Using his smartphone to process payments, Koh was able to rent a bicycle, pay a street vendor for breakfast, split the bill for lunch with a colleague, pay a taxicab fare, and purchase mineral water at a convenience store. The majority of mobile payments in China are made possible by two service providers known as We. Chat and Alipay. We. Chat reportedly has 8. The event is being promoted by Alipay as a springboard to transform China into a cashless society as much as possible within the next five years. Also on Alipay's to- do list is gaining a foothold into North America.

The program is called . With 7. 0 percent of the world, or more than 5 billion people, connected via mobile devices by 2. In 2. 01. 2, 4. 0 percent of all transactions in this country utilized cash. By the year 2. 01. This is distressing news, and as it turns out, people in the United States (aside from biohacking hobbyists) will soon be receiving implantable microchips, too. Nestled in the northwest region of my home state of Wisconsin, about 6.

Eau Claire, sits the small city of River Falls. Despite being a community of only 1. River Falls is the home of a company known as Three Square Market.

This company, which specializes in kiosks and self- checkout systems, is now offering employees an opportunity to receive an RFID microchip implant in their hands. According to an announcement on the company's website, this chip will enable employees to. He then went on to explain how this new payment system will work.

We'll hit pay with a credit card, and it's asking to swipe my proximity payment now. I'll hold my hand up, just like my cell phone, and it'll pay for my product. Then, the next iteration of the technology allows some additional tracking functionality. And so it goes until employees are expected to implant something that allows them to be constantly monitored, even outside of work. While the microchip is voluntary now, it is not difficult to envision a world where many people receive the chip simply because it has become a societal norm and an expectation. Furthermore, we know that veterinarians have been implanting animals and pets with microchips for years. It is likely that soon it will be suggested that parents have their children chipped for safety reasons, and elderly people, especially those suffering from Alzheimer's disease, could be targeted.

It is a fact that there are already thousands of people around the world who have received a microchip in their hands, and there are many more who are receptive to the idea. According to a poll conducted in the United Kingdom and published in 2. British respondents said they would be willing to be microchipped at work.

MANCHESTER – There seems to be no end to the tide of books criticizing economics, and – as I am an economist – it must make me something of a masochist that I keep reading them.

The exercise is all the more wearisome as the criticisms are both repetitive and increasingly misdirected. Not that everything about the state of economics is fine; far from it. But only if today’s critics of economics pay more attention to what economists are actually doing will they be able to make a meaningful contribution to assessing the state of the discipline. Ten years on from the financial crisis of 2. Queen Elizabeth II on a 2. London School of Economics: “Why did nobody see it coming?” (Indeed, almost all the recent examples of this literary genre start the same way.) The essays edited by Roderick Floud et al, Humanism Challenges Materialism, and Richard Bookstaber’s The End of Theory use Queen Elizabeth’s royal puzzlement to insinuate that the entire subject of economics is fundamentally flawed: “If economists couldn’t predict the biggest financial crisis in decades, what are they good for?”.
