Faith On The Line - Stress, Stress Go Away Vol 18 | Page 27

Let nothing in your life interfere with
intimate association with your Creator,
Redeemer, and Friend. Fight to take private
daily time to study His Word, to know Him
as He really is, for this
is the good battle
to believe that gives
us the victory over
unbelief.
Wherever you’re
at in your experience
with the Lord, if you
have been “staggering at the promises of
God through unbelief,” there is only
one solution that
can bring relief from
this conviction—only one thing that can
bring true forgiveness, healing, and hope of
eternal life to your heart.
Quietly turn to God in your heart, and
without any excuses, confess your unbelief
to Him, ask for His forgiveness and strength.
And then, by His grace, determine to get
in the fight to know Him personally with
a determination to respond in faith and
obedience to whatever He reveals to you.
Right now, in the quietness of your mind,
won’t you echo this prayer?
Father in heaven, I realize that it has been
unbelief in Your Word that has kept me from
experiencing the fullness of the victorious
salvation experience You intend for me. I am
confessing my unbelief—please forgive me. I
choose to believe Your promise in 1 John 1:9.

Let nothing
in your life
interfere with
intimate association with
your Creator,
Redeemer, and
Friend.

Please heal me and infuse my
heart with Your victorious character of love and faith as I fight
to daily, faithfully, and earnestly
study Your word to know You
and Your ways. Thank You for
causing me to triumph as You’ve
promised in 2 Corinthians 2:14.
In Christ’s name I pray. Amen.

Californians don’t have
the right to know they’re
eating GM food
Consumers in California apparently don’t have
the right to know if they are buying genetically engineered foods. The California Assembly recently
voted down the Consumer Right To Know
Act, or AB 88, which was introduced by
Jared Huffman, a Democrat from San
Rafael. This is too bad. The bill would
have considered genetically engineered
fish or fish products “misbranded” if they lacked
labeling that conspicuously identifies them as such.
The timing of this measure was significant. The
first-ever proposed commercialization of salmon
genetically engineered to mature more quickly
is currently under review by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration. The new fish could hit
shelves fairly soon, but we’d never know if we
were buying it...
“If you want to avoid sugar, aspartame, trans-fats, MSG, or
just about anything else, you read the label,” Mark Bittman
notes. So why aren’t genetically modified organisms listed?
Because they don’t have to be.
In the spring of 2000, the FDA announced that the labeling
of GE foods would remain voluntary. Perversely, the companies
selling GMO-free products that want to add “NON-GE” labels
are the ones facing tight regulations and litigation challenges
from their competitors. The agency argues that guaranteeing a
product is free of GMO material is virtually impossible.

Roundup found in
city-dwellers’ urine
Studies have already found Monsanto’s toxic herbicide Roundup
in groundwater, in streams, and even in the rain and air of US agricultural areas. It’s been found in our blood and even
crosses the placental barrier to enter our unborn fetuses. So are we surprised that a German university
study has now found significant concentrations of
Roundup’s main ingredient glyphosate in the urine
of city dwellers?
Perhaps we should be surprised at the amount: all
the samples had concentrations of glyphosate at 5 to
20 times the limit for drinking water.
Roundup is used on railway lines, urban pavements, and roadsides. It’s used to dry down grain crops before harvest. But the single greatest use of Roundup is on genetically engineered “Roundup
Ready” crops—designed not to die when sprayed with the poison.
