Former Muslim helps Leading The Way viewers find new hope in Christ

Wednesday, October 29, 2014 – By Peter Wooding Europe Bureau Chief for ASSIST News Service

Ever since Leading The Way began broadcasting Christian programming to the Arab world through its 24/7 satellite TV channel THE KINGDOM SAT, something miraculous has been happening.

Every week Muslim viewers are turning to Leading The Way’s dedicated follow-up teams to find out how they can know more about Jesus.

One such team member often ministering late into the night is Rahim*. Every week he corresponds with viewers from the Middle East and North Africa via Skype, Facebook, email, text messages, and in-person discipleship meetings, sharing the love of Christ with those who are hungry to know God’s truth.

Some are Muslims who want to know more about the Christian faith, while others have made the dangerous decision to accept Jesus as their Saviour and are in need of spiritual support as they face extreme persecution.
Rahim has faced violent persecution himself and can identify with those who turn to him for help. He was a devoted Muslim until the power of Christian radio helped him find new hope in Christ.

“I was raised in a Muslim family and I was very dedicated to Islamic practices. My father was happy at this time, but I was empty inside,” said Rahim.

He added: “One time when I was searching by radio, I listened to something that was talking about God, and afterwards I see this is Christian radio. This brought problems to me. For the first time I wanted more knowledge about Christianity.

Why Obama Hates Netanyahu

October 30, 2014 by Daniel Greenfield

Obama’s foreign policy was supposed to reboot America’s relationship with the rest of the world. Old allies would become people we occasionally talked to. Old enemies would become new allies. Goodbye Queen, hello Vladimir. Trade the Anglosphere for Latin America’s Marxist dictatorships. Replace allied governments in the Middle East with Islamists and call it a day for the Caliphate.

Very little of that went according to plan.

Obama is still stuck with Europe. The Middle East and Latin American leftists still hate America. The Arab Spring imploded. Japan, South Korea and India have conservative governments.

And then there’s Israel.

The original plan was to sideline Israel by focusing on the Muslim world. Instead of directly hammering Israel, the administration would transform the region around it. The American-Israeli relationship would implode not through conflict, but because the Muslim Brotherhood countries would take its place.

That didn’t work out too well. Instead of gracefully pivoting away, Obama loudly snubbed Netanyahu. A photo of him poking his finger in Netanyahu’s chest captured the atmosphere. Netanyahu delivered a speech that Congress cheered. And Obama came to see him as a domestic political opponent.

RUAP Media Release: Mother-in-law of stabbing victim demands 20-year sentences for drawing blood with a knife

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – THURSDAY 13th NOVEMBER 2014

Mother-in-law of stabbing victim demands 20-year sentences for drawing blood with a knife

Mother-in-law of stab victim willing to speak to the Press

The tearful mother-in-law of a 31-year-old mother of three stabbed to death in Geelong last week has demanded tough penalties for carrying or using knives.

Mrs Yvonne Gentle, mother-in-law of Tyrelle Evertsen-Mostert, stabbed to death last week by an acquaintance she had helped, have had discussions with Daniel Nalliah, leader of the Rise Up Australia Party and first upper house candidate for South-East Metropolitan Region in the forthcoming State elections, to determine and effective policy on knife crime.

Mrs Gentle, Victorian State President of Rise Up Australia, said: “Tyrelle was a member of Rise Up Australia because she strongly supported the party’s policies against serious crime, and family violence. She would have wanted to do good in death as she did to so many in life.”

Mr Nalliah said: “Knives are used in almost half of all murders in Australia. They are also frequently used in armed robberies and in youth violence. Till now, the public authorities have been soft on knife crime. Tyrelle was a victim not only of her murderess but also of policies that do not deter knife murderers.

Particularly, in a climate where Islamic fundamentalists are being encouraged by ISIS to behead innocent civilians and our service personal using knives, similar to Lee Rigby in the UK and the attempted murder of two police officers in Endeavour Hills by Numan Haider.”

Stop the torture of unborn children or be jailed – Nalliah

Dear friends & family in Christ,

Following is a very important article about stopping the torture of unborn children, written by Christopher Monckton of Brenchley.

Rise Up Australia Party has launched a major new campaign to protect babies being killed by abortion in Victoria from being tortured by abortionists during the death procedure.

Though the 2008 Abortion Law Reform Act in Victoria exempts abortionists who kill unborn children from prosecution for murder, the Federal 2010 Criminal Legislation Amendment (Torture Prohibition and Death Penalty Abolition) Act, which takes precedence over Victorian law, makes the torture of any person by or with the consent or acquiescence of any public official a criminal offence punishable by 20 years in prison.

Pastor Daniel Nalliah, founder and leader of Rise Up Australia Party, launched the campaign with a crowd of Rise Up Australia supporters on 10 November 2014 outside the “Fertility Control” and “Day Procedure” abortion abattoirs at 116-118 Wellington Parade, Melbourne.

You may click the following link to watch a short video of what happened yesterday outside an abortion clinic in East Melbourne and on the steps of Parliament.

Pastor Daniel said that unborn puppies had more rights in Victoria than unborn children of our own species. It was unacceptable, he said, that in a society that called itself civilized unborn children should not only be killed but tortured before they were killed.

Unborn children of 17 weeks’ gestation or more, he said, were fully capable of experiencing the trauma and suffering of their own death-agony. Yet the law did not require them to be given an anaesthetic before they were torn limb from limb or soaked in caustic salts or injected to the heart with a painful and fatal poison.

Is Barack Obama the worst president in American history?

For the past six years, America has been atoning for its great sin of slavery. I use the word “sin” because the secular creed on which our country was founded informs us that all men are created equal. The stain of slavery violated that creed.

Slavery ended in this country a long time ago, of course. In 1863, to be exact, when Republican President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. For over 151 years, all Americans of all colors and races have been born free. Seven generations have come and gone.

Nevertheless, it is clear that many Americans voted for Barack Obama on the basis of the color of his skin and not, say, the color of his character. Blacks voted for him because he was black like them (even though, oddly enough, none of his ancestors, black or white, had ever experienced slavery). Other minorities voted for him because he was a “minority” like them. Still others voted for him because they believed that the only way to fully overcome America’s racist past was to elect a Black president.

Although I did not vote for Obama—despite being part Native American and married to a Hispanic—I too was proud of the fact that a half-white, half-black man had been elected president. His ancestors represented both sides of the racial divide, and yet had come together. I was not alone in thinking that he would bring America together in the same way, and heal the racial divisions that had plagued us for so long. Our nation would finally be one people, the first universal nation.

Sadly, instead of being the Great Uniter, Obama has instead proven himself to the Great Divider. In his policies, no less than in his speeches, he has repeatedly set black against white, poor against rich, woman against man, not to mention against their own unborn children. And he has done this for the pettiest of political reasons. He has, in my view, sacrificed the long-term interests of the country for short-term political gain.

RUAP Media Release: ‘A dog in Victoria has more rights than an unborn child of our own species’ – ‘End criminal torture of unborn children’

For Immediate Release – Monday 10th November 2014

At 1 pm on Monday 10 November 2014, Daniel Nalliah, leader of Rise Up Australia Party, will hold a press conference outside the “Fertility Control” abortion clinic at 118 Wellington Parade, East Melbourne to launch the party’s campaign to end the torture of unborn children.

At 2 pm, at the State Parliament in Melbourne, Mr Nalliah will hand in letters asking the Premier and the leader of the Opposition to consent to an urgent amendment to the Abortion Reform Act 2008 obliging abortionists to give an individual anaesthetic to every child of 17 weeks’ gestation or more who is to be aborted, to ensure that he or she is not tortured.

Mr Nalliah said: “By this major initiative we will persuade our legislators to make sure that any child capable of feeling pain and experiencing suffering is spared the excruciating terror of his or her own death agony. Victoria law – for now – permits abortionists to kill children, but Commonwealth and international law, which take precedence over State law, expressly prohibit torture.”

“The procedures inflicted by abortionists on little children offend not only against the explicit bar on procuring abortions in the Hippocratic Oath but also against the central principle underlying that oath: Primum non nocere: ‘first and foremost, not to cause harm’.

“The Australian Federal courts have held that smacking a child can be illegal: yet the law in Victoria permits killing a child. A dog in Victoria has more rights than an unborn child of our own species. Labor and the Greens refused to include a provision in the 2008 to prevent torture of babies by requiring a simple injection of anaesthetic. Torture is punishable by 20 years’ imprisonment.

“On behalf of those who have no voice and no vote, we are warning our lawgivers that they must do what is right and – if they must allow child-killing – make sure, by an abundance of caution, that they prevent the torture of the innocents that is now occurring in our hospitals and clinics, to the shame of our civilization. Who in conscience can refuse this measure?”

Nazism, Communism, Islamism: how to kill your way to the ‘Perfect World’

September 14, 2014 – The Times of Israel – Noru Tsalic

The 20th century saw the rise and fall of two murderous ideologies: Hitler’s Nazism and the ‘Communism’ practiced by the likes of Stalin and Mao.  The former was (hopefully) eradicated by mass re-education, after a world war that cost the lives of 70 million human beings; the latter eventually collapsed from within, under the burden of its own profound immorality – but not before claiming the lives of around 100 million people.

These days, we see the rise of yet another vicious ideology – Islamism.  Why do I place it in the same category?  Quite simply: because it fits there.

True, despite being already guilty of horrendous crimes, Islamism has not – yet – caused tens of millions of victims; but neither had Nazism or Communism by the 1930s.

On the other hand, all three extreme ideologies share the same fundamental characteristics.

Firstly, all three are predicated on supremacist propositions – namely that a group of people is inherently superior to all the others.  What exactly that Master Group is depends on the specific differentiator that the particular ideology is centred upon.  Since Nazism saw the world through a ‘racial’ perspective, its fundamental proposition was the superiority of the ‘Aryan race’ (the Master Race or Herrenvolk); centred on ‘social’ differences, the Communists decreed that the ‘proletariat’ was inherently loftier than every other class; for the Islamists, whose particular angle is ‘religious’, it is the adherents of Islam that are ‘entitled’ to unquestioned, divinely-ordained supremacy.

Are You Worshipping Idols in Church?

Carey Nieuwhof

Have you ever asked yourself as a church leader, do I worship something or someone other than God? It’s a great question to ask and a great heart check.

I’ll stick my neck out and suggest that you do have idols you worship instead of God. At least I do. Once you identify them and root them out, you’ll become a better leader.

You’re an Idol Factory

I get challenged about my personal and leadership idols every year when I read through the middle part of the book of Isaiah.

Chapter 44, for example, is all about the futility of worshipping idols, which in those days were mostly wood or stone carvings.

So what’s an idol today? You don’t need wood or stone to create one. An idol is anything that takes our focus and reliance off of God.

John Calvin was dead on when he said, “Man’s nature, so to speak, is a perpetual factory of idols.” Discard one, and you’ll simply create another.

8 Idols Church Leaders Still Worship Today:

The list could be much longer than eight because Calvin was right. But here are eight with which I struggle or have seen other leaders struggle. These are in no particular order because, well, any idol is bad enough to be No. 1:

1. Strategy. So I’m a strategy wonk. If you read this blog, you know that. I think many churches fail for lack of a clear, coherent strategy. I wrote in detail about how mission, vision and strategy interrelate here.

But strategy is no substitute for trust. As valuable as strategy is (and it is), no strategy is a substitute for trusting God. Strategy makes an excellent servant and a terrible master.

2. Skill. By all means, get better at what you do. Learn, listen, polish and perfect your skills. Skill alone can get you far, but the church is a supernatural thing.

God changes hearts. You can’t. I can’t.

Christians Around the World Mourn Ex-KKK Turned Evangelist

CBN News

People across the world are remembering evangelist Rev. Johnny Lee Clary, a former imperial wizard of the Klu Klux Klan who experienced a radical conversion to Christianity.

Clary, 55, died of a heart attack Oct. 21.

CBN spoke to the evangelist in 2011 about his journey to becoming a Christian after years of hating blacks and other minority groups. Watch his story below.

He said he felt compelled to give his life to the Lord after reading Luke 15, the story of the prodigal son.

“I finally got on my knees and said, ‘God, my life is screwed up. God, I’m in a mess. I need Your help,” he recalled. “I felt like a new person, brand new creation. I felt like I had had a weight lifted off my shoulders.”

In becoming a Christian, Clary learned how to love and live in unity with all people. He became the first Caucasian elder in the Church of God in Christ, a predominantly African-American denomination.
