The National Black Church Initiative Has One Message for Hollywood – Stop Stuffing Homosexual Sex Scenes Down Our Throats; God Is Not Pleased

October 13, 2016 – National Black Church Intiative

The National Black Church Initiative (NBCI), a faith-based coalition of 34,000 churches comprised of 15 denominations and 15.7 million African Americans, is amazed at the depth of Hollywood’s morality of trying to stuff the gay lifestyle down the throats of those of us who consider it as an abomination.

We clearly understand that gay marriage is the law of the land but that does not mean that we have to accept it as cultural morality and we will not. Hollywood understands that it has the sentiments of the White House on this issue and the force of the law but the Church must send a very clear message, you have more than just one liberal audience.

There are hundreds and millions of us who do not appreciate the fact that every program has to have a gay character, a gay sex scene or a gay situation in order to force feed those of us who will never accept it as a legitimate lifestyle. (more…)

As the Syrian civil war continues after a failed cease-fire, many Muslims are encountering God, including a mother with confounding dreams that left her in a state of anticipation.

“The woman dreamt repeatedly of a man who told her that three people would come and bring her good news,” according to a ministry director for Christian Aid Mission (CAM).

“She continued to have this dream for six days in a row,” the director told CAM. “On the seventh day, one of our teams was doing home visits and decided to visit a new house.”

Why Egypt’s Muslims Resent Coptic Christians

October 11, 2016 – Raymond Ibrahim

At a time when Coptic Christians are suffering abuses “every two or three days” in Egypt, a Muslim woman in America has made a video calling for more Muslim hostility against the Christian minority, in this case, in the guise of an economic boycott.

In a video, Ayat Oraby—a Muslim Brotherhood sympathizer who has nearly 1.5 million followers on Facebook—recently called the Coptic church a “bunch of gangsters,” a “total mafia” that “rules [Egypt] behind the curtains.”

She accuses the Christians of “stockpiling weapons in churches” and “striving to create a Coptic statelet” in order to continue waging “a war against Islam.”

The Covenant That Binds Arab Christians and Messianic Jews

9/12/2016 Asher Intrater/Revive Israel

Note: This is part two of a two-part series. Click here for part one.

In 2015, the Global Gathering took place in Munich, at the very stadium where Israeli athletes where murdered in the 1972 Olympics. After several days of worship, intercession, prayer and fellowship, the Arab and Jewish brothers and sisters again came up to the stage for a period of prophetic proclamation, repentance and reconciliation.

During that time, the Messianic leadership team sought to honor the Arab leaders.

We realized that this was more than just honoring one another as fellow believers. There is a deep connection between Arabs and Jews, going all the way back to the time of Abraham, our mutual father. We pointed out that Ishmael was circumcised (Gen. 17) before Isaac was even born (Gen. 21). We are bound together by a covenant of almost 4,000 years. Because of this covenant, we have a joint destiny!

Australia: Muslim preacher expelled for saying “global peace will only be established when the last Jew is killed”

October 6, 2016 – by Christine Williams

Evil words from a Pakistani Islamic scholar who has “a strong following online” and was scheduled for a speaking tour across Australia.

The good news is that Muhammad Raza Saqib Mustafai’s Australian tour has now been cancelled following the revelation of his monstrous anti-Semitism.

The bad news is that he and other such preachers of hatred and incitement against Jews and other non-Muslims should not be permitted on Western soil at all, but unfortunately they are in our midst.

Islam and Christianity: A Reader-Friendly Guide to the Differences

September 9, 2016 – Danusha V. Goska

Islam is currently protected from critique. This was not always so. Thomas Jefferson could declare that Muslims believe “that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Musselman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.”

John Quincy Adams could acknowledge that Muhammad “degraded” the female sex and “declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind.” Winston Churchill could write of Islam, “No stronger retrograde force exists in the world.” Pope Callixtus III could assess Islam as “diabolical.”

Not Even a Loaded Gun Could Stop Him from Preaching the Gospel

CBN News Staff : Oct 6, 2016 : Charisma News

[Charisma News] Zacharia lived comfortably as a government employee in Southern India.

He was born into a Catholic family that ranked high in India’s notorious caste system.

But one day his comfortable life took a turn, some might say for the worse, when God told him to be a missionary in one of the most dangerous places to be a Christian in India.

God told Zacharia to minister to the people in Bihar, a place known for being violent against anything Christian. Bihar is so antagonistic toward Christianity, it is nicknamed “the graveyard of missionaries.”

“That was really, really hard for me,” Zacharia told Christian Aid. “I prayed for a few weeks, ‘Lord, send someone to Bihar. But the Lord said, ‘Not someone else—you must go.'”

October 01, 2016 – The Christian Post – Samuel Smith

Christian women attend a church service in Tehran, Iran, in this undated photo.

At least 25 Christians have been arrested in the Islamic Republic of Iran solely because of their faith in Jesus Christ, it has been reported.

According to the National Council of Resistance in Iran, Iranian human rights outlets are reporting that over two dozen Christians were recently arrested during a raid by authorities in the southern city of Kerman.

Security officials raided Christians’ homes where they confiscated belongings and arrested as many as 25 believers. As of now, there has been no reason given for why the Christians were arrested and their location is unknown.

As Iran is ranked by Open Doors USA as the ninth worst country in the world when it comes to Christian persecution, the authorities in the Shia nation are widely known for their hostility towards Christians.

Top Muslim Wall Street Journal reporter converts to Christianity after jihadist attack on priest

July 30, 2016 – by Christine Williams

This post is not to promote conversions, but to highlight the fact that a prominent Muslim reporter for the Wall Street Journal was so repulsed by an act of jihad-by-the-sword that it became the final straw for him. He decided to leave Islam, now putting himself in the ranks of apostates — and he is an exceptionally brave public one at that.

Iranian Wall Street Journal reporter Sohrab Ahmari announced on Twitter that he was converting to Catholicism following the shocking jihad beheading of an 86-year-old priest during a mass in Normandy, France.

Two jihadis pledged allegiance to the Islamic State and its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi before forcing the priest to his knees and slitting his throat.

They filmed it all; then took terrified nuns as hostage. (more…)
