People sometimes wonder why I bother to talk about the dangers of Islam. They say, “Why not just present the positive aspects of the Gospel?” They forget that Jesus Himself warned of dangerous belief systems. And He called them by name! As a minister of the Gospel, it is my duty to show that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is not just another “religion.” It is the very truth of God! Sometimes that can best be accomplished by revealing the
The pitcher for the Boston Red Sox [Curt Schilling] cemented his place in baseball history when he won Game Six of the 2004 American League Championship Series (ALCS) over the New York Yankees. He pitched just days after ankle surgery and endured a sore and bleeding ankle to go seven innings and allow only one run. His bloody sock became a part of Major League Baseball history. The Red Sox went on to win the World Series. Schilling has three
Christians believe that Jesus Christ is our Redeemer. He redeemed us from the penalty of our sins — eternal torment and separation from God — by taking upon Himself our sins and guilt, and paying our penalty by dying in our place. It doesn’t seem like an even exchange, does it? He gets our sin and we get His righteousness. His righteousness reconciles us to the Father. And it happens the moment we believe in and accept Christ’s substitutionary death.
The migrant crisis in Europe has lately been appearing more frequently in the headlines. That’s mainly because some European nations are being forced to take steps to reverse the damage. In fact, some of the more liberal, multiculture-oriented nations are being overwhelmed by the human tsunami they have welcomed into their midst. But one of the more alarming and surprising results of this liberality is manifesting itself in Sweden. A recent study shows that for every 100 Swedish girls ages
From the perspective of Bible prophecy, 2015 may be remembered as the year Satan’s key project began to rise. Since at least the time of Nimrod, Satan has been laying the groundwork for a one-world government, with his man in charge. Through the millennia since, he’s had successes and setbacks. But in 2015, the foundation became complete enough for him to begin building the actual edifice. [2015] seemed to bring us to the critical time when Satan’s one-world order got
Fox News reported on December 16, that a Muslim Civil Court judge in New York City was sworn in using the Koran, the holy book of Islam, as a testament to her radical Islamic belief system. That a judge or politician can now legally swear allegiance to the Islamic ideology, one that allows wife-beating, abuse of children, and other crimes that would usually be considered aberrations in Western countries, is a stark change to the previous, God-inspired value system of the United States.
President Barack Obama finally acknowledged last week that the war on terror has entered a new stage. But he’s still unwilling to admit just how serious and deadly the struggle has become. When two ISIS sympathizers attacked a Christmas party in San Bernardino, California, last week, they killed 14 and wounded 21. It may have been a defining moment for the President and the Left. When he addressed a nation in mourning last Sunday evening, he couldn’t resist the opportunity
Last month, the Palestinians once again firebombed Joseph’s Tomb in Shechem, Israel. This is at least the 10th time in the last 30 years the Palestinians have tried to destroy the tomb. Now, Muslims claim to revere Joseph and hold his tomb to be sacred. So why do they frequently try to destroy it? In Genesis, Joseph extracted a promise from his brothers that after his death they would carry his bones from Egypt back “…to the land which He
Any reasonably informed person realizes that Europe, and the U.S.A. to a lesser extent, is in the midst of an unprecedented refugee crisis. With the dramatic developments in the Middle East – the Syrian civil war, the explosion of ISIS and other terrorist armies, the entrance of Russia into Syria, among other things – millions of Middle Easterners and North Africans have been displaced. And hundreds of thousands of them are streaming into Europe seeking protection. Many are also taking
