Use the Quran to share Christ with Muslim, veteran missionary suggests

By George Henson, Staff Writer – Published: December 31, 2009
 
ANGLETON—Winning Muslim converts to Christianity is difficult, but veteran missionary Kevin Greeson knows a way—start with the Quran.

Greeson, who has served 16 years with the Southern Baptist International Mission Board working to start Christian movements among Muslims in Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nepal, stressed the importance of spreading the good news of Christ with Muslims.

“The best way to fight terrorism is to share the gospel. And I believe that not because I want to fight terrorism, but because there are lost people,” he explained.

Debating religious tenets with Muslims is a waste of time, Greeson added. Muslims are taught to memorize the Quran in Arabic, not analyze it, he said.

Zambian President: Country Should Maintain Christian Identity

Zambian President Rupiah Bandaby Aimee Herd : Jan 4, 2010 : Dennis May – Christian Post

Zambian President Rupiah Banda said Tuesday that the declaration of Zambia as a Christian nation should be retained in the Republican Constitution.

In a speech read at the 18th anniversary celebration of the country’s Christian declaration, Banda said, “It is my passionate desire that my government can access the prosperity which comes from the living God.”

“I am very positive that you, my fellow Zambians, share this belief with me that in this covenant lies the wisdom of God which, if you hold any kingly position like I do as the Republican President of this nation, then you can align with the covenant like King David did,” he said.

“If you are a spiritual leader, you can also align with the covenant like Moses did.”

Banda also said that people should not take Zambia’s peace for granted but rather see it as a gift from God. (more…)

70 million is too many: Immigrant-fuelled population boom will damage society, say leading public figures

By James Slack, Home Affairs Editor – 06th January 2010

Immigration must be urgently curbed to stop the population hitting 70million and causing ‘serious harm’ to society, an alliance of leading public figures demanded yesterday.

The call to action comes in a report signed by a host of respected names, including former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey, ex-Labour speaker Betty Boothroyd and former Tory Party chairman Michael Ancram.

The cross-party group wants manifesto commitments from Labour and the Conservatives to cut net migration to fewer than 40,000 a year – compared to the current rate of 163,000.

This is the reduction to net migration – the number of immigrants arriving in the UK, minus those leaving – needed to stop the population reaching 70million within the next two decades.

Deaf ears open and demons flee as the supernatural power of God manifests in Brisbane, Australia

Churches combine for miracle healing revival in BrisbaneLady healed from deafness in both ears

Dear friends and family in Christ,

1) What a mighty God we serve, the reigning King of kings, the Lord of lords, the Name above all names, our Lord Jesus Christ!

It’s so good to get back into full action after the Christmas and New Year’s break. In this New Year 2010 we at CTFM are prayerfully trusting our faithful Father in heaven for an unprecedented outpouring of His Holy Spirit, an unprecedented harvest of souls, and an unprecedented advancement of the Kingdom of God in Australia and across the Nations of the World!

Well, all glory to God for the weekend gone by which was absolutely awesome in the presence of the Lord!

Pastor Daniel ministered at the Forest Lakes AOG in Brisbane, Australia. Many gathered expecting a miracle from God, with some travelling a long way to get there, and were mightily touched by the miracle working power of God! Some were weeping, others shouting for joy, while some could not simply stand under the Anointing of the Holy Spirit and just crashed to the ground. Pastor Daniel stated, “I had not even started laying hands on people. It was the Spirit of God at work amongst the people of God at the altar.”

Christians not deterred by planned atheist protest at major prayer rally on Australia Day for rain and protection from bushfires

Media release – For immediate release

On Australia Day January 26 at 10.30am, an expected crowd of 1000 Christians from different churches, denominations, ethnicities, and states will gather at Springvale Town Hall, 397 Springvale Rd Springvale in Melbourne to pray for God’s protection over Australia during this bushfire season.

Catch the Fire Ministries President, Pastor Daniel Nalliah who will also be conferred with an Honorary Doctorate of Divinity Degree from Saint Thomas Christian College in Jacksonville, Florida USA for his work to secure freedom of speech in Australia and his ongoing stand for Christian values, said he had been alerted to the atheists protests by the venue planners, but would not allow the atheists to hijack the prayers or detract from the purpose of praying for Australia.

The special guest speaker Reverend Dr Zamekio Jackson who oversees the U.S. Christian College, as well as more than 300 churches across the U.S., and who has personally witnessed many supernatural miracles following prayer, will be travelling with his prayer team from America to deliver a special message to Australians.

“We’re expecting extraordinary things in the Spirit of God to happen on Australia Day. The City of Greater Dandenong Council who operates the Springvale Town Hall have informed us that atheists have been in contact with them to notify them of proposed protests, but also to let us know that they will call the police if the protests get out of hand. We Christians will not be distracted by the atheists. We’re there to pray for the nation of Australia and if the atheists’ intention is to hijack the event, it’s not going to happen. We love the atheists because Jesus, who is our prime example, loves the atheists. They and anyone for that matter is most welcome to enter the town hall and hear about God’s supernatural miracles around the world in answer to the prayers of His people,” Pastor Nalliah said.

Religious leaders vow civil disobedience on anti-life issues

Saturday, November 21, 2009 – Washington Times – Julia Duin

More than 150 leaders across a spectrum of conservative Christianity on Friday released a 4,700-word document vowing civil disobedience if they are forced to take part in “anti-life acts” or bless gay marriages.

Called the “Manhattan Declaration,” the six-page, single-spaced document was drafted by Prison Fellowship founder Charles Colson, an evangelical, and Princeton University professor Robert P. George, a Roman Catholic, and included a bevy of Catholic, Anglican and Orthodox bishops, archbishops and cardinals as signatories along with dozens of clergy and laity.

Archbishop of Washington Donald W. Wuerl is one of the signatories.

“Throughout the centuries, Christianity has taught that civil disobedience is not only permitted, but sometimes required,” says the document which cited civil rights icon Martin Luther King and his willingness to go to jail for his beliefs. (more…)

Obama’s ‘most important message’?

Chuck NorrisChuck Norris WorldNetDaily Exclusive – December 28, 2009

In my last column, “Away with the manger,” I predicted that the religious content of President Obama’s Christmas address to the nation was going to be the weakest in presidential history.

I also mentioned that, in the first year of his presidency, “Every time President Obama has had an opportunity to stand for Christianity in any way, he has not only denied it but disdained it.” Any chance he has to dive deeper into its creed, he rises to the surface and changes the subject.

I was correct on both accounts, and he proved it (again) last week.

But never did I expect to hear Obama during Christmas week dodge children on the main message of Christmas and then teach them a revised version.

Canadian Pastor Exonerated After Judge Rules His Letter Did NOT Constitute Hate Speech

by Thaddeus M. Baklinski : Dec 8, 2009 : LifeSiteNews

Overjoyed and relieved that the decision was in his favor, pastor also says he “felt a bit of righteous anger because for seven and a half years of my life I’ve been dragged through the mud over a community debate that existed in Red Deer, Alberta, which ended up going global because of one complaint. However, that one complaint gave me a soap box to share the Gospel and to share what my letter really meant, instead of how it’s been misinterpreted, and given me the chance to speak to many, many homosexuals about the incredible love of God.”

(Calgary, Canada)—The Christian pastor who was hauled before the Alberta Human Rights Tribunal (AHRT) for writing a letter to the editor on homosexuality has been exonerated by a Court of Queen’s Bench judge who ruled the letter was not a hate crime but legitimate expression allowed under freedom of speech. Pastor Stephen Boissoin told LifeSiteNews.com (LSN) that he was “overjoyed and relieved” that the lengthy, stressful and expensive seven year legal battle over his letter to the editor has ended in his favor.

Questions for Every Muslim

Dear family and friends in Christ,
 
Political correctness is the work of the devil and will lead to the downfall of western nations unless we Christians stand up and be counted. Our brothers and sisters are being persecuted,terrorised, raped, tortured, murdered under the banner of Islam!
 
We need to ask the questions in the following email from Bill Warner of every Muslim we know and or meet. We need to stand firm on the Word of God and share the love of Jesus with them! Even their own book the Koran speaks a lot about Jesus, that He performed miracles, healed sick people and raised the dead back to life! However, the Koran never states that Mohammed did anything even similar to the miraculous works of Jesus!
 
Action is needed, particularly in effective fervent prayer.

CHRISTIAN DOCTORS TELL OF MIRACLES AT INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

ASSIST News Service

Some 400 doctors and medical professionals from 30 different countries attended  the 6th International Christian Medical Conference held in Kiev recently. Organized by the World Christian Doctors Network (WCDN), the conference attracted doctors and medical professionals who all believe in the power of prayer to heal. But they also believe that miracles should be provable and so several of them brought their medical data which was printed out in a book and also shown on a screen and then took questions from their peers.  

Dr Irene Jacovou, an MD from Brisbane, presented evidence for the healing of a 64-year-old retired school principal from skin cancer. She then testified of her own experience revealing three miracles she had experienced. She said she had been healed from two forms of cancer, including breast cancer, and then she dropped a bombshell. “I once suffered cardiac arrest and was ‘dead’ for 45 minutes,” she said. “A miracle occurred and I was brought back to life. After a short time I was back at work with no damage whatsoever to my brain, and able to work again as a doctor.”
