God’s Word Reigns Despite Religious Persecution

God\'s Word Reigns across the Nations of the World

When our Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776, they considered religious freedom one of Americans’ most fundamental rights.

Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the Declaration of Independence, also wrote the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom. He considered these two of his most important accomplishments, along with founding the University of Virginia, and left instructions for them to be inscribed on his tombstone.

Today, our commitment to religious freedom has gone global, and it has become part of the fabric of our diplomacy. In 1998, Congress passed the International Religious Freedom Act, and now the State Department issues an annual report on religious freedom. (more…)

Will the Western World Surrender to the Middle East? – By Pr Daniel Nalliah

London RiotsDear family & friends in Christ across our Nation of Australia and around the World,

Over the past several years, I have been very carefully watching the unfolding events across the world and asking the questions, “Will the Western world surrender to the Middle East and lose its Judeo-Christian Heritage, Freedom of Speech, Democracy, etc. to the political, social, economic, religious and spiritual force of Islam? How long will it be before the West wakes up and realises that if the current trend continues, we could have Islamic Sharia Law dominating parts of the West, as it is already happening in many parts of Europe?”

While watching the media breaking news across the Middle East over the past 6 months or so, in particular PRESS TV NEWS, a channel which comes through satellite and is broadcast from Iran, of the many increasingly spreading revolutions throughout the Middle East, I have heard many Islamic clerics and others in the revolution repeatedly proclaim, “We will take this revolution into Europe.”  Then they went on to call on the youth in Europe to start similar revolutions there.

Over the past week or so, I have been watching the latest developments in the UK on news and noticed that most rioters were youth. Who is behind the current riots in the UK is a question we need to ask? Is it simply because of one young man’s death, or is there a well organised movement coordinating these riots?

Despite 200 Murders, Iraqi Church Grows Strong

Anglican Canon Andrew White Thursday, 02 June 2011 – Felicia Mann - Charisma News Online Featured News

Most Bible-believing Christians would probably run from a church after one or two of its members were murdered, much less after witnessing 200 killed in the first six months of the year.

Indeed, many of the most fervent saints would abandon a congregation where bomb blasts are the norm and where saints are kidnapped on a weekly basis.

Despite these horrible realities, however, Iraqi Anglican Canon Andrew White says his Baghdad church is 4,000 people strong—and his members are among the happiest church-goers he’s ever seen.

“So many Christians have been killed,” White said in an exclusive interview with Charisma Publisher Steve Strang which you can watch below.

“Yet the church in Iraq is so happy—miraculously happy. The fact that the church is like this is incredible. And they’ve got a huge amount to teach us.”

Pray for Christians’ Safety During Ramadan, Open Doors Urges

Islamic RamadanFri, Jul. 29 2011 - By Anugrah Kumar | Christian Post Contributor

Ramadan, the 30-day annual Islamic fast which begins next week, may expose Christians to an increased risk of persecution in Muslim-majority countries and believers in the West should pray for them, Open Doors USA said as it launched a Ramadan Prayer Calendar.

A Lebanese Muslim woman, shops for decorations in preparation for the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, in Beirut, Lebanon, Monday Aug. 9, 2010. Muslims traditionally decorate their homes, shops and streets for the holy month of Ramadan. Muslims throughout the world will be celebrating the holy fasting month of Ramadan, the holiest month in the Islamic calendar, refraining from eating, drinking, smoking and sex from sunrise to sunset.

“Ramadan is a time when Christians are especially isolated in some Muslim-dominated countries,” said Open Doors USA President Dr. Carl Moeller in a statement. “This is why it is so important for us to unite in prayer for persecuted Christians throughout the world.”

To help Christians pray for the persecuted, Open Doors has prepared a Ramadan Prayer Calendar having multiple prayer points and designed to help believers pray for vulnerable Christians around the world during the 30 days. (more…)

Why did I leave the word “Christian” out of the Rise Up Australia Party offical name?? By Pr Daniel

Pastor Daniel NalliahDear family & friends in Christ across our nation of Australia,

I have had some people ask me the question as to why I did not include the word ‘Christian’ in the official name for Rise Up Australia Party?

Let me share a few reasons as to why I did not do so. Please take some time to read this email with an open mind before forming an opinion. Also would you please take a few minutes to send us a response. Which would really be appreciated.

For example, if you want to buy a box of tea, you go to Coles and look through all the packs of tea.  Then you want to buy a particular brand as it is good quality, but as you read the label you find out that the proceeds go to promote communist ideologies. Would you buy that pack of tea?? Even though you wanted that brand of tea, you would not buy that particular pack as the label put you off.

Likewise there are many Aussies out there who have very good values, are passionately in love with Australia and want to keep Australia Australian. Unfortunately if I use the word ‘Christian’, I will quite possibly ostracize the rest of the community.

When we had to fight our defence in the court case when the Muslims took us to court in 2002, many good thinking and good hearted Christians contacted me and said that I must fight my defence based on the fact that Australia is a Christian nation. However, when I prayerfully sought the Lord, I strongly felt that we should fight our defence on freedom of speech.

Christians ‘not vilified’ by Islamic billboards says Australian Advertising Standards Bureau

Muslim advertising in Sydney, Australia of Jesus as a Prophet of IslamFriday, July 1, 2011  – By Dan Wooding of Founder of ASSIST Ministries

Christians ‘not vilified’ by Islamic billboards says Australian Advertising Standards Bureau
But that doesn’t satisfy one Christian who says that they are ‘a willful abuse of our freedom of speech and democratic values’

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA (ANS) — Proclaiming Jesus to be “a prophet of Islam” on billboards in Australia is a statement of belief and does not discriminate against or vilify Christians, the Advertising Standards Bureau (ASB) there has found.

The row erupted in late May, when signs were placed on billboards in major Sydney roads, specifically chosen for maximum exposure. Organized and privately funded by an Islamic group called “MyPeace” the billboards advertise Muslim beliefs, including a claim that has upset the Christian community – that Jesus, like Mohamed, was a prophet of Islam.

Zimbabwe: Anglicans evicted from churches and homes

Religious Liberty Prayer Bulletin  – Special to ASSIST News Service  – By Elizabeth Kendal – Wednesday, June 8, 2011

A call to pray for the church in Zimbabwe

AUSTRALIA (ANS) — RLPB 110 on Zimbabwe was issued last Wednesday 1 June after news emerged that churches were facing escalating levels of political violence (see also Religious Liberty Monitoring). This political violence is doubtless intended to inject fear into the churches and to silence them ahead of what are likely to be rigged elections. The regime aims to force the churches to adopt a position of compliant subjugation if they want to survive. On 2 June the Bishop of Harare, the Rt Rev Chad Gandiya, issued an urgent appeal for prayer, detailing more persecution.

On Sunday 29 May a priest belonging to the pro-Mugabe faction (led by excommunicated bishop Nolbert Kunonga) broke into the home of the Rev Charles Muzanenhamo, an Anglican priest in the Mubayira area of Mhondoro. Muzanenhamo was away visiting rural parishes at the time. When Bishop Gandiya alerted Muzanenhamo he returned home immediately and expelled the intruder. However, when the police subsequently arrived they arrested the pastor, charging him with assault. Muzanenhamo had to spend the night in detention before the bishop could bail him out. That same evening, a newly ordained deacon, Noel Magaya, was also illegally and forcibly evicted from his home-church. Once again, when the police arrived they sided with Kunonga’s criminals. On 30 May when Rev Julius Zimbudzana tried to notify the police about Magaya’s eviction they refused to open a docket, so officially the incident never happened.

Wilders Acquittal May Signal the Turn of the Tide

Geert Wilders looks like next Dutch Prime Ministerby Amiel Ungar – IsraelNationalNews.com

The acquittal of the embattled Dutch politician Geert Wilders may mark the turn of the tide in terms of European permissiveness towards Islamist immigrants who would destroy Dutch culture from within.

One can say that the trial was a win-win situation for Wilders, as the prosecution itself believed that he should be acquitted and stated so. Obviously Wilders is correct in saying “an enormous burden has fallen from my shoulders.” Even when one believes in one’s innocence and is certain of vindication, the postion of defendant is an unpleasant one.

Wilders, however, received a good deal of compensation. First of all the trial was nationally televised, including Wilders’ summation speech in which he compared himself to the Dutch martyrs and to Martin Luther’s defiance of papal supremacy:

Every day the armoured cars [Wilders faces death threats from Moslems – ed.] drive me past the statue of Johan de Witt at the Hofvijver in The Hague. De Witt wrote the “Manifesto of True Freedom” and he paid for freedom with his life. Every day I go to my office through the Binnenhof where Johan van Oldenbarneveldt was beheaded after a political trial. Leaning on his stick the elderly Oldenbarneveldt addressed his last words to his people. He said: “I have acted honourably and piously as a good patriot.” Those words are also mine. (more…)

Rise Up Australia Party Public Announcement a Great Success

Banner of Rise Up Australia Political Party3AW Radio InterviewDear family & friends in Christ across our nation of Australia,

The first public announcement of Rise Australia Party to Keep Australia Australian was a great success.

The event which took place yesterday on 22nd June 2011 at the steps of the Victorian Civil Administrative and Tribunal in the city of Melbourne on the 4th anniversary of the historic victory for Freedom of Speech in Australia, attracted the attention of some of the main media outlets.

Pr Daniel addressed the gathering of around 80-100 multi-ethnic patriotic Australians and challenged them to stand up now and protect our Judeo-Christian Heritage, Freedom of Speech and all the other great freedoms that our forefathers fought for in our nation of Australia. He also honoured the Australian diggers who sacrificially laid down their lives to protect our freedoms.

Following is one of the links to the many radio interviews Pastor Daniel has done in the past 24 hours.

NEW AUSTRALIAN POLITICAL PARTY FORMED TO PROTECT AUSTRALIAN FREEDOMS

Rise Up Australia Political Party LogoMedia Release

The announcement of a new political party will be made on the steps of the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal building at noon on Wednesday June 22nd, by Dr Daniel Nalliah. This date marks the fourth anniversary of an historic victory for freedom of speech in Australia, after a complaint in 2002 by the Islamic Council of Victoria against Dr Nalliah, which resulted in a five year court battle. Dr Nalliah will also be observing a minutes silence during his address, in respect for the Australian diggers who have sacrificed their lives to protect our freedoms in Australia.

Dr Nalliah said the Party was formed to protect Freedom of Speech, other Freedoms and the erosion of Christian values in Australia, as a balance for the  left wing agenda and to stem the tide of divisive forces associated with multi-culturalism. He said the newly formed Party was committed to keeping the Australian way of life strong.

Dr Nalliah said “It is with great joy that we announce the formation of this new political party, a party for all people who embrace Australia as home. This Party is totally committed to protecting the Australian way of life and our Christian heritage upon which Australia was founded. While acknowledging some positive aspects of multiculturalism, Dr Nalliah said there had been an overwhelming amount of negativity and division  stemming from multiculturalism, and cited Europe as an example of how it has led to violent ethnic enclaves. The leaders of both Germany and the UK have recently made statements denouncing multiculturalism as a failure.”

The recent outburst in Sydney against a NSW police officer by a Muslim woman wearing the burqa, and the subsequent decision by the court of appeal to clear her on the grounds that she could not be identified, is a striking example of the failure of multiculturalism in our nation of Australia. The violence demonstrated outside the courts against the media by Muslim supporters of this woman is a real mockery to the Australian way of life, justice and peace. Furthermore, it prevents the ability for our police force to enforce law and order.

Multiculturalism has actually divided their nations, and has let people build ethnic enclaves within their countries.
