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.”

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.

On 15th 9/11 Anniversary, Saeed Abedini Tells Muslims: ‘Islam Is From Satan,’ Followers Started War on Christianity on 9/11

September 12, 2016 – The Christian Post – Stoyan Zaimov

Pastor Saeed Abedini, a former American hostage who was held for three and a half years in an Iranian prison for his Christian faith, said on the 15th anniversary of 9/11 that Muslims started a war on Christianity with the terror attacks.

Abedini said that although most Christian pastors do not want to say it, Islam is a satanic religion that leads people astray.

“Fifteen years ago the shape of the whole world got changed forever and war between Islam and Christianity started by Muslims again,” [sic] Abedini wrote in a Facebook message on Sunday.

“Still after 15 years every day people die because of the teaching of Qur’an and Islam,” he added, referring to the global war on terrorism in the wake of the September 11 attacks, where close to 3,000 Americans were killed.

U. S. Churches Urged to Prepare for Islamic Terror Attacks, But Pray It Doesn’t Happen

August 31, 2016 – OneNewsNow.com

As Islamic terror threats against churches escalate, so should churches’ plans for safety and security – even in the United States.

Dabiq – the online magazine ISIS uses for propaganda and recruitment – is telling radical Muslims to target Western churches. Counter-terrorism experts think the blow is most likely to land in Great Britain, but Chuck Chadwick of the Texas-based National Organization of Church Security & Safety Management says churches in America shouldn’t ignore the threat.

“What we over here can expect is the lone wolf attack,” he offers, “[and] it looks like bombing is becoming popular again.”

While Chadwick says an attack on a U.S. church is probably not imminent, it’s still important to have the conversation. “Having a person who is armed and can respond in deadly force may be an option [for churches],” he says. “If it does happen, we’re prepared; if it doesn’t happen, all glory to God.”

‘Tens of Thousands’: Christian Missions Organizations Saw Muslim Conversions to Christianity Climb After 9/11 Terror Attacks

September 10, 2016

When radical Islamic terrorists brought down the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers 15 years ago, they didn’t realize their actions would also help bring down walls to reaching Muslims with the Gospel.

But that’s exactly what happened.

In the years since Sept. 11, 2001, the number of Unengaged, Muslim Unreached People Groups (UMUPGs) in the world has decreased by nearly 20 percent, from 1,333 in 2001 to 1,077 today, according to statistics provided by Vision 5:9, a coalition of Christian missions organizations focused on reaching Muslims.

That translates to 32 million fewer Muslims living in groups with little or no access to the Gospel than when terrorists attacked the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Eric Metaxas Says Many American Christians Lack True Faith That Only Comes From Being Persecuted

July 09, 2016 – The Christian Post – Samuel Smith

New York Times bestselling author Eric Metaxas says that many Christians in the United States have adopted an “American version of Christianity” and lack a true understanding about what it means to be faithful to God’s word under the threat of persecution.

Metaxas, the author of several books including the recent title If You Can Keep It: The Forgotten Promise of American Liberty, gave a one-hour keynote speech to kick off The Bridge, an annual 3-day conference focusing on the persecuted church hosted by collaboration of groups led by the persecution watchdog group International Christian Concern.

Rick Warren: 7 Attitudes on Racism; Christians Should Have This One

By Anugrah Kumar , Christian Post Contributor – July 24, 2016

Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Church in Southern California addressed racism in his sermon in the wake of the deadly ambush of police officers following the shooting deaths of African Americans, describing seven attitudes to racism and identifying the one which Christians should have.

“Our nation is desperate for healing… and the Church cannot be silent,” Warren told the congregation in a recent sermon he delivered after a shooting in Baton Rouge, Louisiana left three police officers dead.

The megachurch pastor quoted Titus 2:11: “God has revealed his grace to save the whole human race.”

God has never made a person He doesn’t love, Warren stressed. “Race was God’s idea,” he said. “Racial reconciliation is at the heart of the Gospel.”

3 wonderful nights at CTFM in the presence of God

The only way we can describe the 3 nights of worship is ‘Absolutely Awesome’!

On Friday , Saturday & Sunday many gathered to wait upon the Lord in worship and intercession for our nation and the nations.

Everyone came out to the altar and spent hours in worship over the 3 nights.

The presence of God was so thick you knew that His presence was real.

There was a mighty river of life flowing at the altar as many came and drank from it.

As the worship entered into high praise, people were laughing, some were weeping and others were just dancing.
