25 And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, 26 and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. 27 She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched [...]

I Hate This
Posted in Jesus Christ, Racism on February 14, 2010 | 4 Comments »
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. The sad irony is that when they nailed Jesus to the cross they (and we, by our own sin) were rejecting him and saying, [...]

Contentious Issues – The Son of God, Part 5: Jesus Christ Is God’s Unique Son
Posted in Bible, Contentious Issues, Jesus Christ, Theology on December 24, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Now we come to the most contentious part of this contentious issue. We have seen that the Bible teaches Adam was the son of God, the people of Israel were the son of God, the son of David was the son of God and that Jesus Christ fulfills each of these so that he is [...]
The Wonder of the Birth of the Messiah
Posted in Arabic, Jesus Christ, Worship on December 23, 2009 | 12 Comments »
This is a great video of an Arabic Christmas Carol. It brings together things that don’t seem to fit and yet are true of our Savior. Certainly some of you will watch this and think that this could never happen, that God could never do this – you may even think it is blasphemy. I [...]
Thankful for the Sacrifice (Happy Holidays)
Posted in Bible, Islam, Jesus Christ on November 28, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Happy Thanksgiving (belated) Eid Mubarak This week we celebrated Thanksgiving and Eid Al-Adha. They go together really well. Thanksgiving is all about giving thanks to God, the one to whom all thanks is due, for all good things are from him. With Thanksgiving coming one day before Eid Al-Adha I found myself thinking a lot [...]
Contentious Issues – The Son of God, Part 4: Jesus Christ
Posted in Bible, Contentious Issues, Jesus Christ, Theology on November 15, 2009 | 3 Comments »
We have seen three different times in the Old Testament where someone is called the son of God. Adam was the son of God. The people of Israel under Moses were the son of God. And the son of David, the one who would be king, was the son of God. Now we come to [...]
The Honor of the Word of God
Posted in Bible, Honor/Shame, Jesus Christ, Qur'an on November 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Both Muslims and Christians call Jesus Christ the word of God (كَلِمَةٍ ٱللَّهَ ). As I was reading in the Psalms (Zabur) this morning I was reminded of Al Imran 45 (3:45) from the Qur’an. In both verses we see God honoring or exalting his word. Psalm 138:2 I bow down toward your holy temple [...]

24 The Lord bless you and keep you; 25 the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; 26 the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. Numbers 6:22-27 Jesus Fulfills this Blessing The Lord bless you Jesus also wanted to bless, for in the gospel of Mark the [...]
The Prophet Elisha Points to Jesus Christ
Posted in Bible, Jesus Christ on September 3, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Jesus Christ makes the amazing claim that he was written about in all of the Old Testament. After his resurrection Jesus said to his disciples, ““These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the [...]
