Richard Land: When Does a Human Become Human?

Charisma News – 5/20/2013 Abby Carr

The guilty verdict for abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell has spurred a new conversation in America about the sanctity of human life. Last week’s conviction of Gosnell on three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of three babies has many asking when life begins—and how we can protect it in the future. Among them is Richard Land, newly appointed president-elect of Southern Evangelical Seminary, a leader in apologetics education.

Last week, Gosnell, 72, was convicted of three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of three babies born alive in his West Philadelphia clinic. He was acquitted of killing a fourth newborn during an illegal late-term abortion in a dirty clinic that served mostly low-income women and teens and went years without a state inspection.

After 10 days of deliberation, the jury also found Gosnell guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of a patient who died from an overdose of sedatives. Gosnell was sentenced to three life terms in prison without parole. It has been widely reported that Gosnell performed 40,136 abortions in his clinic from 1988 to 2009.

Saudi Arabia sentences men to lashes for converting woman to Christianity

Reuters | 13 May, 2013 10:22

A court in Saudi Arabia has sentenced two men to lashes and prison terms for converting a woman to Christianity and helping her flee the conservative Islamic kingdom, the Saudi Gazette reported on Monday.

A Lebanese man was sentenced to six years in prison and 300 lashes for converting the woman, while a Saudi man was sentenced to two years and 200 lashes for aiding her escape abroad, the English-language daily said. It added that the pair had challenged the verdict and would appeal.

A spokesman at the justice ministry could not immediately be reached for comment.

In Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam, it is against the law for Muslims to abandon their faith, a practice known as apostasy. Proselytising for other religions or practising them openly is also illegal.

Judges have considerable leeway in how to interpret the kingdom’s Sharia code of Islamic law and are not bound by sentencing guidelines or a system of precedent. Both capital and corporal punishment are legal. (more…)

Christian Persecution is Motivating Muslims ‘To Know Christ’

By Janet Parshall – Special to CP – May 13, 2013

With all of the unrest being reported in countries like Egypt, Syria and Libya, perhaps the real untold story is the record number of Christians leaving the Muslim world.

According to Open Doors USA, at least 100 million Christians in 65 countries suffer persecution. For example, as the situation in Syria continues to intensify, it is very easy to forget the plight of Syrian Christians who are fleeing the country.

In his new book, Crucified Again, Raymond Ibrahim writes that Christians in that country are being targeted for kidnapping, plundering and beheadings. He reports that regions and towns that were once populated with Christians are now emptied.

Ibrahim was raised by Egyptian Coptic Christians and has detailed how, in October of 2012, the last Christian was murder in Homs, a vibrant Christian community that was once home to 80,000 believers. Tom Doyle, of e3 Partners, has said the Syrian situation is one of the “largest humanitarian disasters in the Middle East in probably the last ten years.”

But the crisis for Christians goes beyond Syria. Nigeria is now the country with the highest number of slaughtered Christians. Last year, more than 900 Christ-followers were victims of the Boko Haram group and other Islamic militants.

Media Release: Congradulations Kevin, Watch Your Back, Billy is Around / By Daniel Nalliah President of RUAP

I am sure we all have seen what seemed to be very much like a soap opera play out in Parliament over the past 3 years.

Ever since Kevin Rudd was removed from office as PM, oh what drama it has been.  At least in the West, we do not knife people with a real knife.  However, sometimes a knife called the tongue can be much more painful and the wounds can fester into a place of offence, bitterness and anger.

Well, this is what our nation has unfortunately experienced over the past 3 years and the worst of it all is that what we have all witnessed is a real life drama (not unlike a TV series such as “Days of our Lives”) played out on TV between Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd.

Well, many say that it is now finally over.  Really??  I don’t think so.

The main players are still on stage, including Bill Shorten and Kevin Rudd.  Just hold it, there very well could be two more actors joining the drama, Tony Abbott and Malcolm Turnbull.

A while ago in 2007 we had John Howard and Peter Costello.  At least, these two men had more morals and character. While it too was a drama, the series was very short lived as the actors were clever enough to withdraw from the stage quickly.

Netanyahu Warns: Let’s Not ‘Delude Ourselves’ About the ‘Moderate’ New Iranian Leader

Jun. 16, 2013 Sharona Schwartz – The Blaze

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Sunday that world leaders should neither be fooled by the results of Friday’s election in Iran nor be encouraged to let up pressure regarding the country’s nuclear program.

Iranian President-elect Hasan Rowhani is being widely described as a “moderate,” a description Netanyahu took issue with in his first public reaction to the election.

 Netanyahu said the world should keep up pressure on Iran to rein in its nuclear programme and avoid thinking the election of a moderate president will bring change.

At the beginning of the weekly meeting with his cabinet, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, “Regarding the results of the elections in Iran, let us not delude ourselves. The international community must not become caught up in wishes and be tempted to relax the pressure on Iran to stop its nuclear program,” according to an official transcript.

“It must be remembered that the Iranian ruler, at the outset, disqualified candidates who did not fit his extremist outlook and from among those whose candidacies he allowed was elected the candidate who was seen as less identified with the regime, who still defines the state of Israel as ‘the great Zionist Satan,’” Netanyahu said.

Questioning just how much influence the position of president holds in the Islamic Republic, Netanyahu said, “In any case, the ruler of Iran is the supreme leader, not the president, and it is he who determines nuclear policy. The more the pressure on Iran increases, the greater is the chance of stopping the Iranian nuclear program, which remains the greatest threat to world peace.”

Baptisms & Salvation at CTFM / Great RUAP campaign SA & Vic

Dear family and friends in Christ,

1) There is so much happening every week, that we just don’t know where to start!

Last weekend Pr Daniel preached the prophetic Word of God at CTFM Melbourne, as many were mightily blessed by the power & presence of God.

At the Sunday night service, CTFM leadership commissioned a team of Elders & Deacons into the ministry of taking care of the congregation. Pr Daniel & Pr Jenny anointed them with oil and prayed over them.

Then six people were water baptised. The whole place was just very much alive. People started dancing and praising God as the worship team led in worship and praise. A few young people who had recently given their hearts to Jesus were very excited to be baptised. There was a real sense of a real big party in the house of Lord!

On last Thursday, RUAP National President Daniel Nalliah spoke at a campaign meeting in Adelaide. The people gathered were very excited and many joined the branch in order to help in any way possible.

On last Saturday there was a Victorian Candidate Training Program for RUAP in Hallam. Out of the 37 electorates for Victoria, around 30 candidates participated.

Also, Endeavour Forum organised a meeting of around 70-80 people in Melbourne who were addressed by five Senate Candidate leaders from five different parties, including Daniel Nalliah.

Many who attended these meetings took RUA Party brochures and membership forms.

Since 22nd June was the 6th Anniversary of Australia’s Freedom of Speech Victory, Daniel spoke on the importance of ‘Keeping Australia Australian and protecting our Culture, which includes Freedom of Speech.

UK gay ‘marriage’ bill ignores children’s right to a mother and father: campaign group

by Hilary White – WESTMINSTER, June 17, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) 

The needs of children of a father and mother are being ignored in favor of the putative “rights” of homosexuals in the rush to pass the same-sex “marriage” bill, a family campaign group has said.

The coalition government’s same-sex “marriage” bill is being considered in a committee of the House of Lords started today after being passed “in principle” in an overwhelming vote of 390 – 148 in favor.

 Gay Marriage, No Thanks says it is aiming “to put the wellbeing of children at the centre of the same-sex marriage debate.”

The group called Gay Marriage, No Thanks, an “informal group of professionals and parents,” said today that the bill is entirely “adult focused” and ignores the human right of children to be reared by both natural parents. The group says it aims “to put the wellbeing of children at the centre of the same-sex marriage debate.”

An appeal from Pr Daniel to financially support RUA Party for the next 3 months to ‘Protect Australia and Keep it Australian’

Dear family & friends in Christ,

Many of you who have been connected with us at Catch The Fire Ministries for different seasons over the past 15 years, have surely known that we have been greatly tested several times.

But thank God, we have never ever backed off or bowed down to any pressure to compromise the Word of God. We have stood through death threats, fire-bombing threats and even threats to kidnap my children.

Saturday 22nd June 2013 marks the 6th Anniversary of the Freedom of Speech Victory in our Nation. We also thank God for our 3rd child, Brianna Hope, who was miraculously born on the same day 6 years ago.

We fought a court battle for 5 years, by God’s grace and your support, won the battle for freedom of speech. Now the time has come for one of the most important battles to be won, and that is to transform our Government.

Proverbs 29:2 -“When the righteous rule the nation rejoices. But when the wicked are in control the nations groan.”

I am very confident that we have a good opportunity to secure a few Senate seats in this election and control the balance of power in Parliament. I am very hopeful of winning the Senate seat in Victoria.

God has given us a great product in Rise Up Australia Party to Keep Australia Australian (a vehicle to see our Government, Society and Nation turn around) with a great brand name and great consumer demand for our product.

Reconciliation at RUAP campaign meetings in Townsville – Indigenous & Anglo-Saxon Australians weep & ask forgiveness from each other / Daniel Nalliah of RUAP at Endeavour Forum in Melbourne Sat 22nd June

Dear family & friends in Christ,

1) The RUAP campaign meetings in Townsville and Ingham were just absolutely fantastic. Rise Up Australia Party campaign meetings are attracting around 50% non-church going people who absolutely love Australia and want to Keep it Australian. These are true blue Aussies who have had enough of crazy political correctness rapidly eroding our free and democratic rights, such as the removal of Christmas nativity scenes because someone has complained.

This is very exciting as RUA Party is for all Aussies who love their country. It was so encouraging to see the local newspapers write up a fantastic article about RUAP, also the editor of the paper writing a fantastic piece also promoting RUAP, in addition to the local radio station 99.FM promoting the meetings. We thank the media for good accurate coverage. Many who gathered at the meetings signed up for membership.

The highlight of this trip was what happened on Sunday night in Townsville at a public hall. It was most unexpected. We were very surprised to see around 100 people at the meeting with around 50% were Indigenous Australians. The meetings started off with the Australian National Anthem and what happened next was extraordinary.

Daniel Nalliah the President of RUAP got up to give his speech, share his story and vision for Australia. Daniel stated, “I was deeply moved by the presence of so many Indigenous Australians and others coming together for a political party campaign meeting. As I was standing in front of them, my heart was filled with compassion and love, which I knew was from the heart of Jesus.”

He then invited all Indigenous people to come to the front and thanked them for opening their country for the rest of us and then led them in a prayer, as we all know very well that the Indigenous people are very spiritual.  Next, all the non-Indigenous Aussies stood up, clapping, honoring and thanking these beautiful Indigenous people for sharing their land with us, asking forgiveness for the wrong done to them by our forefathers.

This broke down a massive wall and many eyes were filled with tears, as the Indigenous people received the apology and welcomed them all. In the next few minutes, what happened cannot be expressed in words as white and black Australians hugged each other with some weeping on each other’s shoulders. There was great healing and reconciliation at this campaign meeting.

‘Time Magazine’ Highlights the Latino Reformation

Charisma News – 4/11/2013 Abby Carr

In its April 15 issue, Time magazine reports on the surprising rise in evangelical Latinos in the United States and the implications it could have for both American religious practices and electoral politics.

With Pastor Wilfredo “Choco” DeJesús’ praying hands and the Rev. Samuel Rodriguez’s description of the Hispanic Reformation on the cover, Time brought to national attention the influence Hispanic evangelicals carry within America’s religious landscape.

While more than two-thirds of the 52 million-plus Latinos in the U.S. are Catholic, that number could be cut in half by 2030. More than 35 percent of Hispanics in America now call themselves born-again. Additionally, the Southern Baptist Church—the largest evangelical denomination in the country—says they hope to more than double the number of Baptist Hispanic churches by 2020.

Time‘s Elizabeth Dias states: “The evangelico boom is inextricably linked to the immigrant experience. Evangelicos are socially more conservative than Hispanics generally, but they are quicker to fight for social justice than their white brethren are. They are eager to believe in the miraculous but also much more willing to bend ecclesiastical rules to include women in church duties and invite other ethnic groups into their pews. The new churches are in many cases a deliberate departure from the countries and the faith their members left behind—but they don’t look or sound anything like the mega-churches of the U.S.”

Carlos Campo, president at Regent University, said, “Time‘s cover story ‘The Latino Reformation,’ makes it clear that the Latino evangelical church has embraced a ‘vernacular’ experience for their congregants. If we define vernacular as ‘native or indigenous (opposed to literary or learned)’ the Latino evangelical church is a modern version of the Septuagint and the Luther Bible: they are ‘translating’ religious experience in a way that honors and understands fullness of the individual person.”

The Australian Defence Force protects Islam

Blog Posted by: Bernard Gaynor

You simply cannot be surprised at what a government body, so rotten at the top that it supports public displays of sexual indecency in front of children, will get up to.

In the case of the Australian Defence Force, its leadership are now protecting Islam. The organisation charged with defending this country is assisting in the spread of the enemy’s doctrine and ideology. It reeks of treachery and treason.

Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not having a go at the Diggers. They are fine soldiers who have done brave things on the battlefield in Afghanistan.

But their efforts have been in vain. The war is a massive failure. Soldiers have shed their blood trying to defeat an enemy that is being welcomed into our very borders.

Everyone knows that Australia and the rest of the Western World are hightailing it out of Afghanistan as fast as they can. And just like Iraq, which is sliding back into civil war, Afghanistan will be left in a worse situation than when we arrived. Its future is as a breeding ground for more murderous Islamic brutality, strengthened by the knowledge that the might of Western civilisation is defeated.

Now soldiers are not even allowed to speak the truth about the enemy’s belief system. While they are muzzled, the hierarchy sprouts off that there is nothing wrong with Islam; that a growing Islamic community is a good thing for this country. Indeed, it must be respected.

Messianic Jews: ‘The Most Hated People on Earth’

Charisma News – 5/3/2013 Chaim Goldberg/Maoz Israel

A few years ago, I was asked to produce a short-film for the Negev Tourism Office. Specifically, they wanted me to help them make a video advertisement promoting all the sites and attractions in the Israeli desert.

Why did they come to me? Because I’m a Messianic Jew, and they wanted the video to target Christian tourists around the world. They needed someone who spoke “Christianese,” who would know how to market what they were selling to a specific audience.

I remember arriving at the bus station in Beersheva to meet the crew I’d be working with on the film. Someone from the tourism office was there to pick me up, and I was a bit surprised to see they sent an orthodox woman. I could tell by the way she was dressed that she was religious.

She couldn’t have been more welcoming, and she was so excited to take me around to all of the historical sites that would be featured in the video.

After a couple hours in the car together, visiting everything from Abraham’s well to various war memorials, we had become chatty and seemed to be enjoying one another’s company.

I got up the courage to ask her how she felt about this project we were working on, and specifically how she felt about working with a Jew who believed in Yeshua.

Her answer rings in my ear to this day.

“Chaim,” she said, “some Israelis hate the religious. Some hate the secular. But everyone hates you.”
