Video on Mosque Controversy

Posted in Christians, Contentious Issues, Fear, Muslims on September 22, 2010 | 1 Comment »

In this short video Hussein Rashid and Joseph Cumming share their thoughts on the Ground Zero mosque controversy. I found Joseph’s comments to be very helpful in thinking about how Christians should respond. How does loving our neighbor as we love ourselves (Matthew 22:39) impact our view on this? How does Jesus’ command to do [...]

Posted in Christians, God, Muslims, Truth on September 17, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Stephen Hawking’s new book, The Grand Design, makes the claim that we don’t need God to create the universe. Hawking writes, “Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the Universe exists, why we [...]

Unlikely Friends

Posted in Christians, Sin on September 7, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Craig Gross, pastor of XXXchurch, has debated Ron Jeremy, a prominent porn star, over 60 times. Craig believes porn is destructive. Ron believes it is good. Craig submits to God through Jesus Christ. Ron is not a Christian. Sounds like two people who wouldn’t like each other. Yet, in a piece on CNN’s religion blog Craig [...]

When an armed robber came to rob the shop, she said to him, “I’m just going to talk to you about Jesus.” The conversation was caught on the security camera. She reached out to him with compassion in the name of Jesus. He changed his mind. Read the BBC article and watch the video. HT: [...]

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.

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 [...]

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.
