I Love This

Posted in Arabs, Blessing, Christians, Peace on July 28, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Lest you think I only hate things, I wanted to post something I love. Ali Elhajj is an Arab follower of Jesus who founded The Bethlehem Christmas Project: Bringing Israelis and Palestinians Together on Christmas. They are bringing people together. They are blessing others. They are tearing down walls. They are making peace. I love [...]

Christian Muslim Forum

Posted in Christians, Muslims, Understanding on July 13, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I originally posted this last month, but for some reason I am getting lots of spam comments from it so I deleted the original post and am reposting it in the hopes that the spam will stop. I read about a men’s retreat for Muslims and Christians that looked at the life of Abraham in the [...]

Ethical Guidelines for Christian and Muslim Witness

Posted in Christians, Making God known, Muslims on June 18, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I previously mentioned the Christian Muslim Forum. One of the interesting articles on their site is “Ethical Guidelines for Christian and Muslim Witness in Britain.” Their goal is to help Christians and Muslims “share their faith with integrity and compassion.” Here are their 10 guidelines: 1. We bear witness to, and proclaim our faith not [...]

I Hate This Too

Posted in Christians, Fear, Muslims, Understanding on April 14, 2010 | 2 Comments »

A church in St Cloud, MN recently put an ad in the paper highlighting the dangers of Islam in America (click on the ad to read the whole thing). I think they misrepresent Jesus Christ in two major ways. First, they appeal to our fears by making gross misstatements about Muslims. They say, “How do [...]

Easter in Damascus

Syria News Wire posts some Easter pictures in Damascus (yes, there are Christians in Damascus – they’ve been there since the time of Ananias). The photos are from John Wreford. You can see a lot more photos from the Middle East at his site.

Holy Week Pictures

Posted in Christianity, Christians, Jesus Christ on April 2, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I immediately wanted to post a link to The Big Picture’s Holy Week 2010 pictures. But I had second thoughts after looking at the pictures. Most of the pictures come from traditions that are not biblical and began hundreds of years after the death of Jesus Christ. Especially sad are the traditions in which penitents [...]

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 [...]

Thanks for the Religion

As a freshman clarinetist in the marching band (I was an aspiring jazz saxophonist and wanted to improve my clarinet chops) I saw everyone of Kurt Warner’s games his senior year at the University of Northern Iowa. It was fun watching him over his NFL career and hearing his story retold and retold (he was [...]

Christian Janitor Dies to Save Muslims

Posted in Christians, Life, Muslims, Terrorism on November 13, 2009 | 2 Comments »

From SkyeBox: “A clash of civilizations.” That’s how many in the media and in politics describe the relationship between Muslims and Christians. This popular narrative, however, does not capture the full story. Yes, there is a faction of Islam that is hostile and even aggressively violent toward the West. And there are some Christians who [...]
