We want talk about how Oprah has told the world she is a Christian at least a year ago and how now she wants to focus her Life class show on the OWN network with a segment about Christianity and faiths. We found it interesting how one blog sees Oprah's 'coming out of the closet for Jesus' moments. We respectfully agree with them in many ways but we do have our take on the whole scope of it too.
Read below what BCCN1 had to say about it:
On June 1, 2011, the Editor-in-Chief of BCNN1.com made the following statement after Oprah's public Farewell to her talk show:
"Evidently, Oprah Got Saved Recently, Now She Needs to Make that Clear to Her Millions of Fans
Based upon statements that Oprah made throughout last week regarding God and Jesus Christ, we believe that Oprah has recently truly accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Saviour and has been born again this year."
America was once known as a nation that did not condone a sinful nature, but nowadays, do not be surprised what news may hit the headlines. When we have a politicians whom oppose God's Word condoning homosexuality, a person within any authoritative position may not be a person of integrity when they support them. We are not saying Wade McCree should be excused, but this is really a spiritual issue. A door is open to all sorts of demonic spirits in a society that condones sin. It seems as though people in certain respectful positions are just going along with the flow of sin, because there seems to be hardly any boundaries between right and wrong. Therefore, this case involving Detroit Circuit Judge Wade McCree is no surprise.
If we expect for those within our judicial system or any other respectful profession possess moral conduct, then we should only support politicians that believe and completely follow God's Word. Sin is sin and this judge's illicit behavior is not only immoral and immature, but it is no less sin than homosexuality.
Furthermore, McCree's sudden apology could be because a complaint was allegedly filed by the bailiff's wife and her husband. In our opinion, if she would have said nothing, he probably would not have even issued an apology.
Read these following scriptures, since they have been ignored by many of our political leaders, then no wonder we have people like Judge Wade McCree allegedly acting out in nudity.
Holy Scriptures Against Homosexuality
-1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." -Leviticus 18:22 - "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable." -Leviticus 20:13 - "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads." -Romans 1:26-27 - "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."

Judge McCree: 'I made an extremely serious error in judgment'
myFOXdetroit.com - Detroit Circuit Court Judge Wayne McCree made headlines across the globe after he sent a nearly nude photo of himself to a court bailiff, who works for him. The photo was discovered by the husband of the bailiff and now he and his wife have filed an official complaint with the Michigan Judicial...Read full article, here.
This is just an update, regarding the suspicious murder of Brittany Killgore. Louis Ray Perez pleads not guilty, involving her murder. Investigators suspect foul play and her family finds her death very suspicious. In the meantime, Marine Lance Cpl. Cory Killgore, her ex-husband is allegedly in Afghanistan on duty. She recently divorced him and the couple had been only married for a year, according to various reports.
As we have said in our previous article, may Brittany Killgore rest in peace, but now that the story is evolving, we have a bit more to add. Obviously, Brittany's husband had nothing to do with her death, but her boyfriend could be a suspect and allegedly there are two other people. We would like to encourage all wives to remain with their husbands, no matter how hard it gets. In our opinion, a year is not long enough to make a marriage work. Now, we do not know all the details that occurred during Killgore's marriage, all we know is that her neighbors claimed Brittany allegedly mentioned she was going to divorce her husband and was dating someone else. Whether she did or not, she is no longer here. However, there are so many of you women whom yet are blessed to have life in you and have a chance to make peace with your husbands. They may not be perfect men, but if they are serving country, just be patient until they return home and thank God they are strong enough to be in the military. If you have a husband in the military, pray for his safety while he is in combat among other soldiers, because many of them have died during the war. It is time to pray when you have a husband in the military, not a time to divorce. If you can make it work, pray and ask God to give you strength, because when a husband is in the military or serving the community as a police officer, it is such a blessing every-time they are able to remain alive and not killed while on duty. We are not judging this deceased woman, all we are saying is, it is time for wives to be more wise in their marriages. When we separate from our husbands (or wives), we never know when Satan is working through the evil souls of men and women, but if we should remain dedicated to our spouses, then the angels of God can protect us from demonic forces. You see, when we our married, we must make sure we are completely following God's Word and not doing things our own way. Now, we can imagine it can get very lonely when we have spouses serving our country in Afghanistan, but we must pray and ask God for strength, because we do not just have enemies in foreign lands, but also within America and this is what allegedly happened in the case of Brittany Killgore.
Again, may Brittany Killgore rest in peace. We also pray for her family and her ex-husband, Marine Lance Cpl. Cory Killgore who is presently serving our country.

Brittany Killgore Murder: Marine Louis Ray Perez Pleads Not Guilty, Held On $3 Million Bail
By ELLIOT SPAGAT
VISTA, Calif. — Brittany Killgore was hoping to unwind for three days after filing for divorce from her Marine husband serving in Afghanistan.
Prosecutors believe things quickly went wrong when she met another Marine for a night out.
"She sent a text saying, `Help,'" Patrick Espinoza, a deputy district attorney in San Diego County, said Thursday. "She was missing from that point on."
Authorities said Killgore's body was found in brush near Lake Skinner on April 17, hours after paramedics...Read full article, here.
The incorporation of an optical microscope and a transparent microspheres were creating a new breakthrough in microscope technology. The new tool is called microsphere nanoscopes help scientists live observe the virus for the first time.
This new microscope capabilities beyond the limits of optical microscopy. With microsphere nanoscope, the researchers can see the object measuring about 50 nanometers, or 20 times smaller than the object that can be viewed using a standard optical microscope.

During this time, the size of the smallest object that can be viewed through an optical microscope is only 1 micrometer (0.001 mm) or 1,000 nanometers. Germs generally measuring about 1,000 nanometers, while the thick strand of hair 100 thousand nanometers.

With the tremendous capacity of the microscope, the scientists, led by Professor Lin Li and Wang Zengbo, now can observe the inside of human cells and check the live virus and determine the cause of the emergence of the virus.
The new system at the nanoscale imaging microscope is based on the ability of optical devices in capturing images of objects near a free virtual field of optical diffraction and strengthen it with the microspheres. "It was a world record. We believe we can only see 50 nanometer-sized objects, but also a much smaller size," said Professor Li. "In theory, no matter how small the size limits of objects that can be seen a microscope."
Actually have greater capability of optical microscopy flouresens, which can be used to see the inside of the cell, albeit indirectly through staining method. "But it can not dye the virus," said Li. *** [SCIENCE.ORG | MAHARDIKA SATRIA HADI | KORAN TEMPO 3862]
Not without reason that Leonardo da Vinci chose the left side of face in his famous painting, Mona Lisa. Recent psychological research suggests the left side of the face look more fun than the right side.
Human emotions can be read from the look on his face. The muscles of the face designed to be easy to show expressions that represent a variety of feelings. Of all muscles in the face, left side muscle is more expressive.
Research conducted by two psychologists, Kelsey Blackburn and James Schirillo, from Wake Forest University, the United States confirmed this concept. The results are published online in the journal Experimental Brain Research. "Appears the left cheek bone reveals the intensity of emotions that are considered more aesthetic," says Blackburn.
Experiments that involve volunteers and a stack of photographs of human faces. Volunteers were asked to rate the beauty of the left and right faces of women and men. Every face in the photo is divided into two, namely the left and right. The result is then reflected in two new photos. The photos were displayed in black and white.
When the assessment is collected, the researchers found a pattern that is very convincing. Volunteers showed great interest in the left side of the face, "he said. Interest in the left side of the face also explain why the portrait painter faces more highlight left side of the face.
More confirmation comes from the examination of pupils. During the photo's face, dilated pupils when he saw the left side of the face. Pupil dilation has long been associated with pleasure.
According to Blackburn, the research they are doing well in line with the concept of right brain dominance on the expression of emotion as well as the muscles controlling the left. *** [SCIENCEDAILY | ANTON WILLIAM | KORAN TEMPO 3862]
As a man of God, we think it is time for Rev. Al Sharpton to start changing the way he operates National Action Network. He should not just see himself as a civil rights activist, but mainly as a man of God and as a complete follower of Jesus Christ, he should not just focus on racial discrimination and definitely not support homosexuals, but he should begin to recognize that prisoners like Anna Gristina are allegedly being abused by the prison system. There are various reasons why Rev. Al Sharpton should really consider the needs of prisoners. This case of Anna Gristina being forced to wear diapers and a T-shirt reveals how bad prisoners allegedly endure persecution. This claim is no different than African Americans facing racial discrimination. Although, we realize Rev. Al Sharpton has supported prisoners in the past, allegedly, it has been just for those whom faced racial discrimination before their freedom was taken away based on skin color, not necessarily for prisoners in general. Therefore, as ministers of the gospel we are supposed to consider all people whom are in prison, not just operate our ministries based on racial issues just because we maybe civil rights activists. As for homosexuals, Rev. Al Sharpton should no longer support their agenda.
According to God's Word, as born again believers we are not supposed to condone homosexuality, along with other sins. Therefore, all the time Rev. Al Sharpton is using to support homosexuals should be given to prisoners of all races facing discrimination like Anna Gristina, along with yet supporting African Americans. It is God's will that we consider those whom have made mistakes in their lives and now being mistreated behind bars.
We believe it is time for all civil rights activist whom claim to be ministers like Rev. Al Sharpton to take heed and begin standing up righteousness and begin to not only focus on racial issues. They should exclude support for homosexuals or any other sort of sinners, God's not pleased. In Matthew 25:43, our Word says this: 'I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.' If you noticed, it did not mention for us to single out any particular race, age or status. It also did not even mention for us to just visit them for a particular reason, we are to care for all prisoners.
Anna Gristina's family is raising funds for her to return home for Mother's Day. So, let us not just pray for her freedom, but let us also pray for her to receive Jesus Christ as her personal Savior. If God should allow her to be released, we also pray for other prisoners to be treated right and not be forced to wear diapers and T-shirts, because that is persecution and oppression. Jesus wants all ministers to make sure they do not forget prisoners, the homeless and any other group of outcasts, no matter what they have done or whom they are.
New York Madam forced to wear ‘diapers and T-shirt’ in Riker’s cell as family launch website to raise $2m bail By Emily Anne Epstein
Accused 'Manhattan Madam' Anna Gristina is having to endure a sweltering, rat-infested Rikers Island cell wearing only a T-shirt and a diaper, her husband has sensationally claimed.
The shocking allegations were revealed as Kelvin Gorr launched a website to help pay off his wife's enormous $2million dollar bail, saying the small clan cannot afford it on their own.
This is great news that God is using prisoners to win lost souls as men and women of God. We think it is a wonderful program to ordain prisoners as pastors. In California alone, there are over 25 prisons that offer this program to prisoners to become ordained ministers. Also, Florida and Michigan operate the The Urban Ministry Institute (TUMI). Possibly, if this school expands all over the nation, we will see this nation changing into a positive one and more prisoners will come out with their testimonies as they become leaders of their own congregations, instead of many whom have never been to prison and have no testimony. This would add more meaning to today's church, because many pastors of mega ministries and even those of smaller churches are just in ministry to gain wealth through tithes and offerings. As more prisoners leave the prison system as pastors, then we will no doubt see pastors as witnesses for Christ, instead of those whom are celebrities with much fame and fortune.
It would be very interesting to see the world change and many souls completely submit to Jesus Christ, all because they experienced spiritual healing through sermons preached by pastors whom were once prisoners. Even if prisoners who are pastors remain in prison for many years, at least they will lead many souls to Jesus Christ while they also spend time in prison.
You know, God loves prisoners and He has not forgotten about them and this is why He is making a way for them to become pastors and spread His Word to save souls. The Urban Ministry Institute is a wonderful program and is truly God sent.

The Urban Ministry Institute, which provides seminary classes to prisoners, is growing from 5 to 26 California prisons
The prison guards at the California Rehabilitation Center (CRC), a Level II correctional facility in Norco, Calif., rushed in when they saw a group of inmates submerging a man's head in the communal sinks, thinking they were preventing a race-related murder.
"The guards come in wanting to know why the races are all together. They thought we were trying to drown the guys, but we were just baptizing them," said Cary White, the man who was baptizing the three...Read full article, here.
