Thousands of Young Female Soldiers Take Up Arms Against ISIS to Defend Christians, Religious Minorities

August 17, 2015 – The Christian Post – Hermoine Macura

Thousands of young female soldiers have taken up arms in recent months in the fight against Islamic State as the terror group attempts to expand across Syria and Iraq, killing and enslaving thousands of women and children in its path.

“Islamic State is planning to increase their territory as they did in Syria,” 24-year-old Nasreen Kobani told The Christian Post. ” …They are fighting to be holy and qualify for Jannah (Islamic paradise), despite committing countless crimes against humanity. After they kill civilians, they mutilate their corpses, burn their bodies and cut out their eyes.”

Many women from across the Arab world are standing up to defend their families, land and freedom. Today about 8,000 women from all over Syria, Iraq, Iran,Turkey and elsewhere have volunteered to join the YPJ, also known as the “Women’s Protection Unit,” which defends the Kurdish population of Syria and other innocent civilians, including Christians, from Islamic State.

Muslim Imam Converts to Christianity, Now Preaches Jesus to Islamists

August 7, 2015 | By: Heather Clark

A former Muslim imam in Africa is sharing his story of how he converted from Islam to Christianity and now preaches Christ to Islamists throughout his country.

World Watch Monitor recently released the video testimony of a man who once was taught to persecute Christians as a Muslim and is now facing persecution himself as he preaches the gospel as a convert to the Christian faith. Tofik—not his real name—shares that as a child and young adult, he participated in violence against Christians as instructed.

“In school I only learned about Islam,” he stated. “Parts of our teaching were about destroying Christianity. So we did what we learned, by attacking Christians once we finished our training.”

Why Christians Must Fight Boycotts Against Israel

8/13/2015 Tom Brennan – Stand With Israel

Israel has faced many enemies in the past and faces even more today. Muslim terrorist armies such as Hamas, Hezbollah and the malevolent individuals within the Palestinian Authority are in the closest proximity.

The rapidly advancing ISIS and Caliphate forces and the expansion of Tehran and its goal of eliminating the Jewish State and all unbelievers has been moving towards active hostilities in their proxy wars. But the BDS activity has been perhaps as damaging as the violence because it attempts to harm Israel by causing financial harm to the nation of 8.2 million shekkels.

Boycotts are being staged in nations which have large Christian majorities and many are adopted by church denominations. Academic and professional groups adopt resolutions that use boycotts to support pro- Palestinian positions. The Palestinian Authority and other Muslim activists promote their position with a sophisticated social media campaign that utilizes outright lies, fraud and a willing media which follows any story that puts Israel in the worst light. The mainstream media has abandoned any semblance of balance, due diligence and fact checking to get attention from a gullible public.

Kim Phuc, Woman in Iconic 1972 Vietnam War Photo, Learns to Forgive through Her Christian Faith

By Isaiah Narciso (news@gospelherald.com) Jun 27, 2015

The iconic image that portrayed the horrors of the Vietnam War featured a 9-year-old girl running away naked from a napalm attack, suffering from burns back in 1972. That girl, Kim Phuc, recently met the photographer who shot that famous picture and is now a Christian.

According to Dianne Bourne of the Mirror, 52-year-old Phuc reunited with Vietnamese photographer Nick Ut, who took the picture that made front page news around the world, in England. She now works as a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador and campaigns for peace around the world.

“When I look at the image I’m just amazed that I’m still alive, I’m so grateful and thankful for that,” Phuc said. “I have learned from tragedy, from the pain, from the challenges, and I’m so grateful to be healed.”

American Woman Raised by Lesbians Campaigns in Australia in FAVOR of Traditional Marriage

Teresa Neumann : Aug 18, 2015 : Australian Broadcasting Corporation

“What is government’s interest in marriage? It’s really not about affirming the connections that we have with one another. It has to do with the product of those unions and there’s something distinct about the product of a union between heterosexuals. What’s distinct is that they make babies and those babies have rights and those babies deserve protection.” -Katy Faust

(Australia) – As Australia is being pressured into voting to legalize gay marriage, proponents of traditional marriage are lending their support to the nation. One is Katy Faust, an American woman who was raised by lesbians and wants the world to know that children have a “right” to a father. (Video shot via ABC Australia)

Recently, Tony Jones, of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation interviewed Faust. The following are excerpts from that interview:

TONY JONES: How is it that the daughter of lesbian mothers has become a leading opponent of gay marriage? How does that work?

KATY FAUST: Simply because I recognized that while my mother was a fantastic mother and most of what I do well as a mother myself I do because that’s how she parented me, she can’t be a father. Her partner, an incredible woman – both of these women have my heart – cannot be a father either. Children have a right to be in relationship with their mother and father whenever possible, and as a society, we shouldn’t normalize a family structure that requires children to lose one or both parents to be in that household.

PLEASE TAKE TIME AND READ THIS ARTICLE IF YOU LOVE YOUR CHILDREN & NATION – Ps Daniel

Dear friends & family in Christ,

Will the church fail the nation once again?? Who did Jesus hang out with??

I have been asked by some Christians as to why I am joining up with right wing extremist groups, as the media calls these groups white supremacist, red necks, neo-Nazis and the list goes on.

Let me share my heart with you. For years now I have watched the church not advancing in the west but rather retreating. This is a very sad situation. While there are some mega churches, one needs to ask the question, are they focused on entertainment or discipleship?

Charles Spurgeon stated some 100 years ago, “The church needs shepherds leading the sheep, but there will come a day that clowns will be entertaining the goats”.

All through Europe in particular the church has lost her identity, and is no longer a voice in the community, where as Islam is absolutely on an onward march to capture Europe, with some ONE MILLION foot soldiers crossing into Europe in the past few months from the Middle East.

All throughout Europe churches are closing down and mosques are opening up. In Britain alone some 2000 churches have been converted into mosque in the past 10 years.

With some 70% of our nation stating that national security is their greatest worry the governments are struggling to find an answer to the Islamic terror caused by Islam.

So as a Christian Minister, why am I keeping the company of the Aussie Patriotic groups?

Gospel Still Spreading Despite Nepal’s New Constitution That Bans Converting Others

Christian Aid Mission Staff : Nov 13, 2015 : Gospel Herald

“When there was persecution, professing the name of Christ was very costly, but since the government became secular there’s freedom, and because of that there’s a lot of false teaching coming in, so it’s imperative that they know what true teaching is.”

(Nepal)—Nepal has quietly enshrined a long-time ban on proselytizing in its new constitution. For an indigenous ministry in Nepal that has long found ways to quietly proclaim Christ as Lord, that means business as usual.

As did the interim constitution of the prior seven years, the new constitution signed by Nepal’s president on Sept. 20 outlaws “any act to convert another person from one religion to another or any act or behavior to undermine or jeopardize the religion of another,” with violations punishable by prison and/or fines.

Soccer superstar Ronaldo survived mom’s illegal abortion attempt

LISBON, Portugal, November 12, 2015 (LifeSiteNews)

Cristiano Ronaldo, a Portuguese soccer is alive today only because the law at his conception prohibited a legal abortion, and he survived in utero an illegal, but ineffective folkloric alternative abortion method.

Ronaldo’s origins have come under focus recently because of a just-released documentary film, Ronaldo, and a recent book.

The film is structured around Ronaldo’s intense desire to win the league’s best player award—the Ballon d’Or—over soccer rival Lionel Messi.

But The London Telegraph observes, “At the edge of the frame is an insightful and rather sad portrait of addiction, loneliness and a yearning to fill a hole that can never be filled.” The Telegraph says that need is to please a father who was first absent because of alcoholism and then because of an early, drink-induced death.

Kurdish Army Holding the Line against ISIS “for the sake of the whole free world”

Chris Mitchell : Nov 9, 2015 : CBN News

“The only people—that are successfully fighting ISIS—is the Kurdish Peshmerga. You‘ve got a country here with 4.5 million people that are totally pro-American, more so than we’re pro-American.” -Retired U.S. General Jay Garner.

Erbil, Kurdistan)—[CBN News] For more than a year, the Peshmerga, the Kurdish military force in Iraq, has consistently stood up to ISIS.

Peshmerga Gen. Karzan escorted CBN News to the front lines for a rare look at the territory these fighters took back from ISIS. We crossed the fabled Euphrates River and passed the Mosul Dam.

One year ago, ISIS captured the dam and threatened Iraq with an ecological catastrophe. Destroying the dam would have sent a 60-foot wall of water all the way to Baghdad, killing as many as half a million people. The Peshmerga took back the dam with the help of U.S. airstrike.

Pakistan: Christians build churches despite death threats

November 9, 2015 – by Robert Spencer

Javed David doesn’t seem to understand the situation. Muslims have threatened David and warned him to stop building new churches. So why is he going ahead? Why is he needlessly and recklessly poking them in the eye? They told him they didn’t like this activity — doesn’t he realize how much he is harming Muslim-Christian dialogue by provoking Muslims in this way?

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, which understands very well that the dialogue must be preserved at all costs and all activities that offend Muslims must be ended immediately, should send an emissary or two over to Lahore to explain present-day realities to David and to the Rev. Sohail Farman.

Perhaps an Eastern Catholic bishop, one with an Arabic background and a sterling record of silencing and ostracizing those who speak out against Muslim persecution of Christians, could take one of his trusted priests, one who knows that those who oppose jihad and Islamic supremacism are an ongoing danger to the church, and they could go over to Lahore together and explain to David and Farman that Islam is at its core a Religion of Peace, as long as Christians don’t cross any red lines and do anything to goad the poor dears into doing something violent — violence for which the Christians would be entirely responsible, of course.

How Might a Brother Consider His Anger as a Christian vs. an “Angry Black Man”?

November 04, 2015 – The Gospel Coalition – Tony Carter

I’m angry, and I don’t really care what they say (I don’t really care what they say) I’m angry, nobody better get in my way (nobody better get in my way) – “Anger Management” by Lecrae.

I grew up around angry men. My father, my uncles, my brothers all at some time or another demonstrated what is commonly known as the “angry black man” syndrome. Some were seemingly able to control it and didn’t get in to too much trouble. Others however (too many in fact), tragically hurt others and themselves out of anger. I have known my own share.

I recall (not so fondly) a few years ago having an argument with my wife over something frivolous. While I was busy making my point and demanding my rightness, she looked at me and said the words I have never forgotten, “Honey you are right, but why do you get so angry?” I have never forgotten those words. They cut me to the core. It was as if the Lord himself spoke them to me. And in one sense, he had. I pledged on that day to fight that sin head on.

Report: Muslims in Northern Iraq “Just Sick of Islam” because of ISIS; Thousands Converting to Christianity

Leah Marieann Klett : Nov 3, 2015 : Gospel Herald

Northern Iraq)—More and more Kurdish Muslims living in Iraq are turning to Christ after witnessing the brutality of extremist groups like ISIS, who carry out horrific acts in the name of Allah, Christian aid workers have revealed.

A ministry leader in the Kurdish Region of Iraq told the Christian Aid Mission that his organization can barely keep up with the desire of refugees to learn about Christ and the Bible, which has grown increasingly strong since ISIS overtook many parts of the region.

“They’re just sick of Islam,” he said. “People are very hungry to know about Christ, especially when they hear about miracles, healing, mercy and love.”

He added, “As terrifying and horrifying as ISIS is, they did us a great favor because they came and have shown them all the killing, saying that it’s all in the Koran verses. So now we don’t have to say much, we just say the truth.”

Prepare for Persecution: A Message From Billy Graham

Prepare for Persecution A Message From Billy Graham10/27/2015 Billy Graham

In the event of a national catastrophe, much confusion, terror and consternation would reign. What would the Christian do? What should our attitude be? Which way would we turn if the country in which we live were suddenly wrecked and all the props gone?

As a whole, our nation does not know what privation is. We do not know what sacrifice is. We do not know what suffering is. Suppose persecution were to come to the church in America, as it has come in other countries.

The immunity to persecution that Christians in our country have experienced in the past two or three centuries is unusual. Christ strongly warned Christians that to follow Him would not be popular, and that in most circumstances it would mean cross-bearing and persecution.

The Bible says that all who “desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution” (2 Timothy 3:12). Jesus said that as the time of His return draws nigh, “They will seize you and persecute you” (Luke 21:12). We have no scriptural foundation for believing that we can forever escape being persecuted for Christ’s sake. The normal condition for Christians is that we should suffer persecution. Are you willing to face persecution and death for Christ’s sake?
