Not Ashamed of the Gospel!!

Alabama State Government, Public Domain
I ain't White. And I don't believe that Governor Robert Bentley of Alabama is racist for his most recent eye-popping comments he made inside a Church. All those people that are saying he is racist and a throwback to the racism experienced in Alabama during the Civil Rights Era are full of rubbish.. He said:

"anybody here today who has not accepted Jesus Christ as their savior, I'm telling you, you're not my brother and you're not my sister, and I want to be your brother."

What he meant to say is that we are not spiritual brothers and sisters. It's true! He does not hate non-Christians just because they don't believe in Jesus Christ. Does it sound harsh? To those that don't ever want to accept God's ever redeeming love through Jesus Christ, of course it sounds harsh. But Jesus Christ said the same thing himself when his family was looking for him when He was preaching. In the book of Mark 3:31-35 we read.
31 And his mother and his brothers came; and standing outside they sent to him and called him. 32 And a crowd was sitting about him; and they said to him, "Your mother and your brothers are outside, asking for you." 33 And he replied, "Who are my mother and my brothers?" 34 And looking around on those who sat about him, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 Whoever does the will of God is my brother, and sister, and mother."
The people that are criticizing the governor are the true intolerant and racist bunch. They fear Jesus Christ and would do anything to stop Christians all together from professing their faith. Bentley was inside a Church. The enemies of Jesus Christ want to stop us from expressing our freedom of speech even inside a Church. To Christians across the world, don't buy the media hype. Christians are not professing that we hurt anyone who does not believe in our faith. We are not saying that we are the "chosen people" and everyone else is a gentile. Like the governor said we WANT you to believe in Jesus, but if not that is up to you. I commend the governor because He is not ashamed of the Gospel in this post-modern world we live in.

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 ...

Jesus Christ and Che Guevara

Public Domain, Che Guevara There is no denying that many special interest groups are spreading false perceptions of Christianity. One that is very notable is done by the socialists/communists. One of the biggest idols of socialism is Che Guevara. He is idolized by many people frustrated with how capitalism exploits the poor. If you ever go to a protest you will see Che's mug on t-shirts or banners. One would think it was as if we were viewing a photograph of Jesus Christ. But it is not. And that is what the socialists want the public to believe in an attempt to win converts for their revolutionary cause. They often say, Jesus Christ was a revolutionary, just like Che! This of course is totally false. Jesus Christ and Che Guevara are complete opposites. Jesus did cause a revolution, but it was a spiritual revolution. Jesus Christ's mission was never meant to be political. Che, who was a doctor, was so incense about fighting for the rights of the poor that he felt ki...

Muslims and Christians DO NOT Believe in the Same God!

"Trinity"  Coecke Van Aelst, 1502.  Public Domain Muslims and Christians do not worship the same god.  In many interfaith circles that is the common denominator, supporters in this belief always say, “We believe in the same god.”  But the truth is that the God we worship as Christians, is not the same god Muslims or any other group worships. The Christian God Is All-Loving He commanded us through His Son Jesus Christ to love and pray for our enemies. He also said to love our neighbors just as ourselves. This is a radical departure from most faiths that believe the opposite. Other faiths teach that we have a duty for self-defense and even kill other people who are trying to hurt us.  Jesus said, “If someone slaps you, turn the other cheek.  If someone wants your coat, give it to him.”  This is a very hard thing for humans to do.  It is so much easier to hate, fight back, swallow our pride than to love and forgive. The Christian...
