Death of a God

Image
Kim Jong Il DEAD! The Not So Supreme Former Leader of North Korea Creative Commmons, www.Kremlin.ur Just yesterday I was thinking of North Korea and its tragic history. Even more tragic is the way people are forced to live. Today I found out that the "Elvis of Asia" or Kim Jong Il died at 69. Only God truly knows how many thousands, if not millions of people have died under his dictatorial regime. If regular North Koreans suffered, Christians fared much worse. Thousands of people live in concentration camps, all because they refused to worship or be a part of the Cult of Personality. Kim's mug, as well as the mug of his father are plastered in every building in North Korea. As I thought about this "hermit country", my heart made a longing for its freedom. I prayed to God that one day the North Korean's would be free and join their southern brethren. More importantly I am hoping that once free, all of North Korea will convert to Christianity. How ...

U.S. Senator Tells the Truth!

Image
Senator Durbin is Against Religious Freedom It sure seems that way. Illinois Senator Dick Durbin has been holding out on the re-authorization of H.R. 2867. If re- authorized it would once again fund the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), a commision which has been instrumental in monitoring religous freedom all over the world. According to published reports Senator Durbin has been holding out because he rather build a Federal prison in his home state that will house terrorists. If the USCIRF ceases to exist all Christians in the world will be wiped out by their enemies. And if Durbin does not support religious freedom the next step will be to eliminate religious freedom in the United States. I have said it once and I will say it again--everyone should have the freedom to believe in any faith of their choosing. The playing field should be equally leveled and let God choose His people. No one should be discriminated or oppressed for what they b...

The Evil of Blasphemy Laws

Image
The Evil of Blasphemy Laws Public Domain, "Ecce Homo", Antonio Cisneri, 1871 Yesterday, it dawned upon me that blasphemy laws are quite evil. Historically speaking many people have been put to death for the charge of blasphemy. Currently, Asia Bibi is in jail for blasphemy. Hundreds of Christians are being slaughtered in countries in Africa and the Middle East because someone charged them as blaspheming the name of God. Actually these grotesque actions show that people are terribly insecure with their own faith. People are incense with hate when simple words offends them. And it is a complete contradiction. I believe that God is all powerful he does not need anyone to defend Him. The idea that one must be killed because she/he had the free will to speak his/or her mind is abhorrently evil. And then again, it dawned upon me that Jesus Christ himself was killed for the same charge!! Wow... I thought. The implications are earth shattering! Our Lord and Savior was kille...

Arab Spring Unites the Persecuted Church

Image
Praise be to God, our Heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Today, the day right after 11/11/11 the Moody Church in Chicago hosted the Persecuted Christians: Affliction or Privilege? The Impact of Islam in the East and West Conference . Being the first of its kind in a major U.S. city, and the first of its kind to be held in a world renown church, the conference's aim was to bring to light how Islam has impacted east/west relationships. There were over 13 speakers who spoke about their experiences as Christians living in the Middle East to a crowd of over 250 people. It was noted that in the 20th century alone, over 45 million Christians have been collectively killed by world governments such as the Soviet Union, Nazism, and the Communist Khmer Rogue. In Sudan over 2 million people were killed, most being of Christian descent. The tragedy of the ordeal is that many Christians in the West have been slow to recognize the persecution of Christians. But conference speakers posed t...

Mom of Two Condemned to Die

Image
To all of my 70 followers, I ask you today to please take action. It is not often I get political. As a matter of fact I don't like politics. But this is not about politics. This is about how the whole world is turning a blind eye to the persecution of Christians. Christian persecution is very real. Hundreds, if not thousands of people are under the threat of execution because they are Christian. One such person is the mother--Asia Bibi. I'm posting this so that any one who comes across this blog as a frequent reader or accident can take action and sign the petition to save her life. Please watch the video about this courageous Christian woman and her family. God bless you. Pass the word around and let us help save her.....

SAVE PASTOR YOUCEF NADARKHAN

Image
Voice of the Martyrs is reporting that Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani's death sentence has been upheld by the Iranian Supreme Court and that your urgent action is needed! Pastor Youcef, a leader in the Full Gospel "Church of Iran" was arrested in 2009, after protesting a decision by the government requiring that his son study the Quran. He was later sentenced to death by the Iranian regime for apostasy. Pastor Youcef appealed the decision and was waiting for the Supreme Court to review his case and decide whether to uphold the death sentence. A judicial execution of a Christian convicted of apostasy has not occurred in Iran in two decades. Sources inside Iran have informed our ministry partners that there is no more action that can be done within the Iranian court system at this time to overturn this sentence which can be carried out at any time. The only option right now is to IMMEDIATELY and SWIFTLY raise international attention to this issue. Please petition the Iranian le...

Islam Unites Christians

Image
Radical Islam Unites Christians Attacks against Christians by radical Islamists across the globe is having unintended consequences. Christians of different denominations are uniting to raise awareness about the violent nature and deception of Islam. Held in Downers Grove, IL the conference The Persecuted Church: Christian Believers in Peril in the Mid dle East is one of many assemblies happening throughout the United States. On March 12, 2011 speakers from many Christian sects gathered in front of over 300 attendees to speak about their experiences and to discuss strategies to stop the Islamic onslaught. Speakers noted that in Islamic countries such as Egypt, the indigenous are killed because of their Christian faith in plain view and collaboration of the government. Attackers of St. George Church in Egypt fired away at Christians from behind army tanks. In Iraq, Julianna Taimoorazz stated that “No mercy is shown to children. Infants [are] broiled and presented to their mothers on a ...

Ancient Mummies Come to Life

Image
Public Domain, "Rest on the Flight into Egypt", Luc-Olivier Merson, 1880 Egyptians were not Arab. Thousands of years before the advent of Islam, the original Egyptians were African. As we hear cries of revolution in Egypt, I get an eerie sense that it is Egypt’s ancient past which is crying for freedom. For hundreds of years Islam and the Arab culture has dominated Egypt. The Arab culture has dominated the land so much that modern day Egyptians actually look more Arab than Egyptian. There was a time when Alexandria was the hub of knowledge. There was a time when Egypt welcomed the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, when he was a baby. Christians are not welcomed anymore. Just a few months ago a bomb was sent off that killed over a dozen Coptic Christians in front of their Church. Extremists have always oppressed minority groups in the land of the Pharaohs. During the swine flu epidemic thousands of pigs were slaughtered by Egyptian authorities because they ignorantl...

Slaves to Sin

Image
Public Domain, Washinton State Legislature The masses are still slaves to sin. Today the Nation is celebrating the life of Civil Rights Leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that he was a man of courage and a man of God. He was the figure that when he saw an injustice he spoke against it. He was a man that lived his to fulfill Jesus Christ’s commandment to “love your neighbor such as yourself”! American is a much better place because of his admirable work. His work allowed for us to live more free. But today in 2011. We are still not free. Our slave mentality persists through our unrighteous acts. We smoke, we drink, we use drugs, we are sexually immoral, we spend all of our lives partying, lying, stealing and cheating. We hate our neighbor and wish we can be better than everyone else. We may be free physically. But all of humanity is still a slave to sin. We continue to be prisoners because we do not want to turn to God. We do not want to open our ...

Why Christianity is Above all Faiths

Image
Public Domain, Sermon on the Mount, Henrik Olrik, 1890 Can somebody please tell me why the general public is so naive and gullible? Recently in Pakistan a moderate politician was assassinated because he had the courage to criticize antiquated laws in his country. The person I am talking about is Punjab Governor Salman Taseer. He was shot dead by his own security guard Malik Mumtaz Qadri because Taseer did not believe in the current blasphemy laws that condemn anyone for talking "bad" about Allah, the Koran or Muhammad. Asia Bibi is currently in prison for not believing in Muhammad. She made a heartfelt declaration of her faith in Jesus Christ and right away she was beaten, and thrown in jail by radical Islamists. This entry is not meant to criticize anyone but to glorify God---I will expound why Christianity is so much different. I will expound why Jesus Christ is Savior and Lord of Lords. I will expound why Christianity is so much better. I will expound why if this earth is...
