WEBSITE REVIEWS

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. (Mark 16.15-18)

The creator and maintainer of this web site is Sal Smario, President of "Voice of the Wilderness Ministries.

The first thing that strikes me about this site is that it is not cluttered with a bunch of graphics. To many graphics and animation can make a site unbearably slow.

Sal's site is dedicated to encouraging Christians to be on the watch for our Lord's return. He teaches classes on various subjects through IRC. I participated in his class series on the Book of Daniel and was truly blessed by them. After each class he holds a question and answer session.

CHN also maintains two newsletters. The first one, "The Hotspot", can be viewed via the website. The second one, "Watchers News" is a email newsletter he sends out on a periodic basis. Just go to his website and put your email address in the "join list" field that is at the bottom of the home page. I have posted an example of the email newsletter, click here to check it out.

All of his classes and teachings can be found in a study book, PC disk, audio tape of video tape format at his online bookstore.

I will get my hands on one of his study guides and do a future review on it, so be on the look out.

If you ever want to check out one of the class sessions he holds, drop him a line and find out when the next one starts or just go to Galaxynet - #Prophecy_Classroom on IRC to see if anyone is there.

You also should check his site out on a periodic basis because he is currently working on a info-mercial and CD which will contain many of his lessons.

Overall, on a scale of 1 to 10, CHN is a solid 7 for design, 5 for structure and a 7 for content.

Even though you might find yourself disagreeing with some of Sal's explanations of Biblical events, his site will still bless you and cause you to want to be a watcher or at least be more conscience of the fact that everything will indeed come to a end one day.

One very important biblical fact Sal and I agree on is that The Church will be caught up at the beginning of the tribulation. The Church, the Body of Christ, will not go through the tribulation.
