Man in India Delivered Completely by God after Trying Everything Else; a Testimony to Entire Village

By Gospel for Asia: Feb 17, 2008  

“Nogen’s dramatic healing was a testimony to the power of Christ. After seeing the change that Christ brought into his life, many people in Nogen’s village chose to put their trust in Jesus, too.”

Villager(Jharkhand, India)—Nogen acted like a madman. He ran wildly from one place to another in his village in Jharkhand, India. He was incoherent and could no longer speak clearly. Of course, Nogen’s family was concerned and tried all they knew to get help for him. What they did not understand was that Nogen was being controlled by a demonic spirit.

Nogen’s family asked GFA missionary Kamat Ramtake to pray for Nogen.

Kamat prayed for him, and slowly Nogen began to regain his senses. But the family decided it would be good to also take him to a local witch doctor, who said a mantra over him. Much to their surprise, Nogen got worse after the witch doctor’s incantations. (more…)

CHARIOT WHEELS FOUND IN THE RED SEA

What great faith the Israelites must have had to begin their descent 11 miles down and then back up again to reach the other side of the Great Red Sea.  Can you imagine the feelings they must have had? God always takes care of us but is our faith as strong as theirs must have been?

Expert: Liberal Christianity Intensifies Radical Islam Threat

Michelle A. Vu, Christian Post Reporter – 7th February, 2008

The Western church’s growing tendency to blur theological differences and not uphold the absolute truth is contributing to the threat of radical Islam to the Western world, said a highly respected expert on Islam.

 “When faced with the uniqueness of Christ we become inclusive. He loves everybody so we talk about love, and hell and damnation goes out the window,” said Sookhdeo. “It becomes too embarrassing. So our church has conformed itself according to society.”

Patrick SookhdeoSookhdeo – a former Muslim and advisor to British, American and NATO military officials on jihadist ideology – recently spoke to 1,500 people at Focus on the Family (FOTF)’s headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colo, about the threat of radical Islam to the Western world. The event was broadcasted in two parts by FOTF this week, the last part of which aired on Wednesday.

Christians are afraid to admit that only believers in Jesus Christ will be saved and others – Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists – are lost, because that would be arrogance in a society dominated by secular humanist ideology, Sookhdeo argued. (more…)

Pride March Photo: Vicki Jones

 Dear Friends and Family in Christ,

The following is an email from Salt Shakers with attachments of some very shocking articles regarding the Rudd Government’s unrighteous support of the ‘Homosexual Pride March’ in Melbourne and ‘Sexual Diversity’.

As Bible-believing God-fearing Christians, what do you think our Almighty Father, the Righteous Judge of Heaven and Earth, is thinking and feeling as our federal government endorses gross public sin and wickedness?

Barnabas Fund Response to the Archbishop of Canterbury`s recommendation to apply Islamic law in the UK

Copyright © Barnabas Fund – 11th February 2008

UNITED KINGDOM

Dr Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, argued in a lunchtime radio interview on Thursday 7th February that the adoption of Islamic law, shari`a, in Britain is unavoidable. In the evening he gave a lecture at the Royal Courts of Justice (organised by the Temple Church and the Centre of Islamic and Middle East Law at London University`s School of Oriental and African Studies) in which his main argument seemed to be that in a plural multi-faith society the concept of one universal law for all citizens must be adapted to accommodate the reality of other law traditions in minority communities. He elaborated especially on the Muslim community in the UK and on Islamic law, and argued for an accommodation between English law and Islamic law so that either law system could be used for dispute resolution and for marriage, divorce, inheritance and other matters.

President Bush Delivers His Last White House Prayer Breakfast Speech

President George W. Bush acknowledges the applause as he attends the 56th National Prayer Breakfast Thursday, Feb. 8, 2008, at the Washington Hilton Hotel. Said the President, by President George W. Bush : Feb 8, 2008 : The White House

“The more time we spend with God, the more we see that He is not a distant king, but a loving Father…When we spend time with the Almighty, we realize how much He has bestowed upon us, and our hearts are filled with joy. We discover that by surrendering our lives to the Almighty, we are strengthened, refreshed, and ready for all that may come.”

The following are excerpts from White House transcripts:

THE PRESIDENT: It is fitting that we gather in prayer, because we recognize a prayerful nation is a stronger nation. (Applause.)

Every President since Dwight Eisenhower has attended the National Prayer Breakfast, and I am really proud to carry on that tradition. It’s an important tradition, and I’m confident Presidents who follow me will do the same. The people in this room come from many different walks of faith. Yet we share one clear conviction: We believe that the Almighty hears our prayers, and answers those who seek Him. That’s what we believe; otherwise, why come? Through the miracle of prayer, we believe He listens—if we listen to His voice and seek…His presence in our lives—our hearts will change. And in so doing, in seeking God, we grow in ways that we could never imagine. (White House photo by Joyce N. Boghosian) (more…)

LONDON, UK (ANS) — Leading British politicians have distanced themselves from the Archbishop of Canterbury’s belief that some Sharia law in the UK seems “unavoidable”.

According to a BBC story, Gordon Brown’s spokesman said the prime minister “believes that British laws should be based on British values”.

The Tories [Conservatives) called the archbishop’s remarks “unhelpful” and the Lib Dems said all must abide by the rule of law.

The BBC reported that Dr Rowan Williams said the UK had to “face up to the fact” some citizens do not relate to the British legal system.

He said adopting parts of Islamic Sharia law could help social cohesion. (more…)

Walk for Life 2008 by Christian PostBy John Connolly : Jan 23, 2008 : LifeSiteNews.com

Abortion survivor testifies: “The abortionist signed my birth certificate. My life is not defined by abortion. I am not a victim, I am a victor.”

(San Francisco)—25,000 participants attended the Walk for Life West, an event attached to Martin Luther King Jr. celebrations on Sunday.

Those who participated in the walk for life bore signs and banners that read “Abortion Hurts Women” and “Women Deserve Better.” Eight California Catholic bishops were on hand to support the event. An estimated 250 pro-abortion advocates came to counter-protest the police-guarded march.

Gianna Jessen, who developed cerebral palsy as an infant after an attempted saline abortion in Los Angeles, gave an address to the crowds at the rally before the march.

“I was aborted and did not die,” she said. “I will limp my way into heaven.”

“The abortionist signed my birth certificate,” she continued, “My life is not defined by abortion. I am not a victim, I am a victor.” (more…)
