I am pro-life. I believe life begins at conception and that all life is valuable in the sight of God. I am also pro-pro-choice. I believe people who are pro-choice are created in the image of God and worthy of respect as those whom God loves, even if we don’t agree. I am also pro-Muslim. [...]

Human Shields
Posted in Christians, Life, Muslims on January 10, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Muslims turned up in droves for the Coptic Christmas mass Thursday night, offering their bodies, and lives, as “shields” to Egypt’s threatened Christian community. In the days following the brutal attack on Saints Church in Alexandria, which left 21 dead on New Year’ eve, solidarity between Muslims and Copts has seen an unprecedented peak. Millions [...]
Death for Blasphemy?
Posted in Life, Mercy on December 6, 2010 | 4 Comments »
The Spanish Inquisition is a great stain on the history of the church. People were killed for things they said. There are plenty of examples of this throughout the history of the church. It is tragic that such things happened. In fact, this is why Jesus died. He was killed for what he said. “The [...]
Muslims Vocally Supporting Christians

From Islamicate: Muslims in Egypt from all shades of the theological spectrum are speaking out against al-Qaeda in Iraq’s anti-Christian declaration: “But instead of turning against Christians, calls to protect them echoed from throughout Egypt’s Islamic community. “‘This is something to be rejected and strongly denounced, and it serves none but those who want to spark [...]

Indonesia endured an earthquake that led to a tsunami on Monday (at least 311 dead) and then a volcano eruption less than 24 hours later (at least 28 dead). The devastation seen in these pictures should compel us to cry out for God’s mercy.

Al-humdulillah! (Praise God!) Tong Phuoc Phuc noticed that many pregnant women entered the clinic, but then came out without their babies. He asked if he could take the aborted babies and give them a proper burial. He believes rightly that they are human beings, worthy of all the dignity, respect and rights of other human [...]

Posted in Life, Muslims on October 22, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Cancer is no respecter of persons. It doesn’t care if you are a Muslim or Christian or anything else. This is why it is good for Muslims and Christians to work together to seek the cure. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and October 27 is Global Pink Hijab Day. Its goal is to raise [...]
The Power of a Photo
Posted in Life on October 15, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
From Zach Nielsen: (this is a photo of a child at 10 weeks) Jennifer Rego: For myself, the power of the photograph is precisely that it is the reminder that I need that defending the unborn is not simply “a cause”, or an “issue”, because people are not causes or issue, they unique, unrepeatable human [...]
Chilean Miners Rescued
Posted in Life on October 13, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I don’t know how much it cost Chile to do all the work necessary to save the lives of the 33 miners trapped in the mine for over two months. But as I watched the video of the first one rescued and looked at the pictures I kept thinking about how valuable human life is [...]
The Grace of God in Adoption
Posted in God's Love, Knowing God, Life on October 6, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Adoption is certainly not a contentious issue, yet it is viewed very differently within Islam and Christianity. The rightness and beauty of adoption is so obvious to me, not only because it is clearly a biblical concept, but because it so wonderfully demonstrates the love of God for his people. I am amazed to think [...]
