Posted in Glory, Worship on March 21, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Posted in God's Love, Knowing God, Worship on February 9, 2010 | 1 Comment »

From Doug Wolter: As I look at the Psalms, I’m amazed at how little we do and how much He does.  For example: Psalm 23:1-3 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me besides still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of [...]

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 [...]

Christian Fasting

Posted in Christianity, Theology, Worship on September 25, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Last month I posted on fasting in Islam in light of the beginning of the month of Ramadan when Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset for 30 days. In my experience I have found that some Muslims don’t know that Christians fast as well. And unfortunately I know that there are many Christians who don’t [...]

In one of my earliest posts I mentioned that I love the Islamic greeting because it speaks a blessing on others (“Peace be upon you”, As-Salaamu ‘Alaykoum [السلام عليكم]). Each night when I put my kids to bed I give them a blessing. Blessings should be part of our lives. In 2007 and 2008 I [...]

Posted in Islam, Worship on June 15, 2009 | 3 Comments »

The Bible is pretty clear in its command to sing to the Lord. Music was a central part of worship in the temple (see 1 Chronicles 25). The Zabur (the psalms of the prophet David) says, “Oh sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth! Sing to the Lord, [...]
