Contentious Issues – The Son of God, Part 6: Believers Are Sons and Daughters of God

Posted in Bible, Contentious Issues, Theology on February 28, 2010 | 2 Comments »

(If there are awards for longest time between posts in a blog series, I would be a serious contender.) In one sense all people are children of God. Paul affirmed this in his sermon to the people of Athens, who were idol worshipers. He told them that God made us all so that we would [...]

The 99 Names of God

Posted in Islam on February 24, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Muslims celebrate the 99 names of God. As a Christian follower of Jesus, I find it helpful to look through the list of God’s 99 names because it reminds me of so many different aspects of who God is. I’d love to hear from Muslim friends about which name is your favorite and from Christian [...]

This is the side of a mosque in Tennessee that was recently vandalized. It makes me sick that someone actually connects the cross of Jesus Christ with such actions and thoughts.

As one whose name means “Warrior”, I take offense that a German orthodontist refused to treat a 16 year old boy because his name is Jihad (plus I have a good friend with this name). HT: Talk Islam

Anyone Up for a Trialogue?

Posted in Christians, Jews, Muslims, Understanding on February 3, 2010 | 4 Comments »

I love the idea of a Christian, Jew and Muslim “Trialogue”. It was put together by Bob Roberts, pastor of Northwood Church in Keller, Texas. It worked like this: Members of the church and the mosque went to the Jewish worship service Friday night at Temple Shalom. Then they all went to the Muslim worship [...]
