TBN Launches in the United Kingdom
Charisma News – 1/5/2015 – Colby May
One of the most significant moments in the history of television broadcast is set for the new year across the United Kingdom. Trinity Broadcasting Network, the world’s largest religious television broadcaster, announced that on Jan. 5, 2015 it will launch its newest network, TBN UK, on Freeview, the U.K.’s free-to-air digital terrestrial television service that reaches 95 percent of the television households across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
TBN Vice President Matthew Crouch said that the launch of TBN UK represents one of the most significant commitments in the history of the 42-year-old global faith-and-family television group, bringing 24-hour Christian programming to a combined total of approximately 26 million U.K. homes. “While TBN has been available in the U.K. through cable and satellite,” he explained, “this will be the first time that over 65 million individuals across the British Isles will have access to a broad range of faith-and-family programming 24 hours a day.”
Mr. Crouch said that the project began almost two years ago when his father, the late TBN founder Paul Crouch Sr., signed an initiative to establish a Christian network in the U.K. That move coincided with the construction of a major, state-of-the-art TBN London studio a stone’s throw from famed Wembley Stadium. “As a pioneer in Christian broadcasting my father was responsible for taking faith television to hundreds of millions of people on every inhabited continent,” said Mr. Crouch. “But this will be, by far, the biggest broadcast switch that TBN has ever thrown.” In fact,” he added, “the Launch of TBN UK on Freeview Channel 65 will represent one of the single largest increases of faith television coverage in history.”
Should Christians Pray for the Defeat or the Conversion of ISIS?
February 19, 2015 – Russell Moore
A pastor friend told me last week that he had church members enraged with him when he suggested from the pulpit that we ought to pray for the salvation of Islamic State terrorists. The people in his church told him that he ought to be calling for justice against them, given their brutal murder of Christians, not for mercy.
I thought about my friend a few days ago when these murderous fiends beheaded 21 of our brothers and sisters in Christ because they refused to renounce the name of Jesus. I was not just angry; I was furious. Can such fury co-exist, though, with the Sermon on the Mount (Mat. 5-7)? When we pray about such evil, how should we pray?
The complexity of the Christian calling in the world was seen even in social media. One friend of mine posted that the slaughter of Christians overseas calls for the world’s only remaining superpower to take action. Another said, quoting singer Toby Keith, that it was time to “light up their world like the Fourth of July.” To that, I say, “Amen.” Another friend, a former student of mine posted, “Oh, that there might be an ISIS Saul standing there now, holding the cloaks, whose salvation might turn the Arab world upside down with the gospel!” To that I say “Amen,” too.
These are not contradictory prayers.
Jesus says to love our enemies and to pray for those who persecute us (Mat. 5:44). The Spirit of Jesus in the prophets and in the apostles also tells us that those who turn a blind eye to the killing of others are wrong. The fact that we feel contradictory praying both for justice against the Islamic State and for salvation for Islamic State terrorists is partly because we fail to distinguish between the mission of the state in the use of the temporal sword against evildoers (Rom. 13:4) and the mission of the church in the use of the sword of the Spirit against sin and death and the devil (Eph. 6). But that’s not, I think, the main problem.

India court Sharia trumps ban on child marriage
December 6, 2014 – by
Islamic apologists in the West routinely deny that Muhammad married a child or that Islamic law sanctions child marriage. Stories like these show that they’re lying. In reality, few things are more abundantly attested in Islamic law than the permissibility of child marriage. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad wedded her and nine when he consummated the marriage:
“The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death)” (Bukhari 7.62.88).
Another tradition has Aisha herself recount the scene:
The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became Allright, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, “Best wishes and Allah”s Blessing and a good luck.” Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah”s Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age. (Bukhari 5.58.234).
UK: Teachers “scared to teach about Jesus” for fear of offending Muslims
November 29, 2014 – by
This article speaks only of the fear of offending “those of other faiths,” but when Bolton starts talking about how Christianity must be taught so as to aid the integration of new immigrants, it is clear that he is talking about Muslims, as no one is worried about the low rate of “integration” of any other group.
So what we have here are British teachers readily discarding their own culture and heritage for a watery and content-free multiculturalism that will, in the end, only pave the way for the takeover of Britain by those who still have confidence in their own beliefs, traditions and culture. Those who are proud to be British and interested in exploring what that means are derided as “racists.” Britain, in short, is a spent force, and is doomed to a future of blood and chaos.
Fear of ‘offending’ different faiths means pupils are not being taught the true meaning of Christmas in schools, according to a BBC presenter.
Pakistan: Christian woman miscarries after brutal beating by Muslims
December 1, 2014 by
“Bibi has been quoted as saying that the Muslim family often tried to persuade her to convert to Islam.” And she refused. Muhammad said: “Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war…When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these you also accept it and withhold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them…. If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah’s help and fight them. (Sahih Muslim 4294)
So if Elishba Bibi refused the Muslim family’s invitation to Islam, and did not pay the jizya, it was not just their prerogative, but their responsibility to fight her — hence the beating with pipes.
“Bishop Kevin?”
*Heavy sigh* “Yes, Father Bud?”
“I’m really sorry to bother you with this kind of thing again, but a Christian woman in Pakistan has been beaten with a pipe by two Muslims after refusing to convert to Islam, and she lost her baby.”
Read Qur’an at Charles’ coronation: bishop
London – Prince Charles’s coronation service should open with a reading from the Qur’an, a senior Church of England bishop said on Friday.
The gesture would be a ‘creative act of accommodation’ to make Muslims feel ‘embraced’ by the nation, Lord Harries of Pentregarth, a leading CofE liberal thinker, said.
But critics attacked the idea, accusing the Church of ‘losing confidence’ in its own institutions and traditions.
Lord Harries, the former Bishop of Oxford who continues to serve as an assistant bishop in the diocese of Southwark, made the suggestion during a House of Lords debate. Speaking of a service in Bristol Cathedral last year which opened with a Qur’an reading, he said: ‘It was a brilliant creative act of accommodation that made the Muslim high sheriff feel, as she said, warmly embraced but did not alienate the core congregation.
‘That principle of hospitality can and should be reflected in many public ceremonies, including the next coronation service.’ In 1994 the Prince said he ‘always felt the Catholic subjects of the sovereign are equally as important as the Anglican ones, as the Protestant ones. Likewise, I think Islamic subjects, or the Hindu subjects, or the Zoroastrian subjects of the sovereign, are of equal and vital importance’. In 2006 he made it known that he wanted a multi-faith coronation.
Global Warming Treaty 20/12/2015 / Please read this very very important article from Ps Daniel
Dear family & friends in Christ,
The word of God states, “For a lack of knowledge, My people perish”.
We must stay vigilant and be on the attack, rather than be on the defensive. Much prayer and action is needed.
In December 2009, the Global Warming Treaty was all ready to be signed at the Global Warming Summit in Copenhagen. To the best of my understanding, once a country signs in they are bound under the UN One World Government agenda forever. In other words, there is no “Get out Clause” in it at all.
The then Labor Government was ready to sign the treaty, with Malcolm Turnbull, who was then the opposition leader, ready to do the same. This resulted in a leadership challenge in the Liberal Party on 01/12/2009, and Tony Abbott was elected as their leader with a vote of 42-41.
Tony Abbott took a stand against signing the Global Warming Treaty, so the Australian Parliament did not have the numbers to approve such a motion. Thus Australia and Canada, with Christian PM Steven Harper, did not sign the document.
In 2015 December there is going to be another Global Warming Summit and the climate change mob are doing everything they can to get Australia & Canada to sign in. The danger of doing this is that we as a sovereign nation, could lose our rights and come completely under the control of the UN One World Government agenda.
To the best of my understanding, Canada will have its elections this year and the global warming faction is doing everything it can to get the current PM, Steven Harper, out of office so that they can get Canada to sign the treaty. In Australia, because the next federal election is scheduled only for November 2016, the global warming mob wants to pre-emptively remove Tony Abbott our PM from office, and lodge Malcolm Turnbull as PM so that they can get Australia to sign the treaty as well.
Thank God that Tony Abbott survived the leadership spill!
John Paul Jackson Passes Away
2/18/2015 Jessilyn Justice – Charisma News
Prophetic minister John Paul Jackson has died.
“Over this past weekend we’ve started to see signs that his weakened breathing is causing vital organs to become oxygen deprived,” reads a post on his website.
Jackson has been battling cancer since May 2014 after doctors found a large, aggressive growth in his leg that needed immediate treatment. Through this experience, he wrote how cancer taught him much about how seriously God takes our fears and vowed to use prayer to fight it.
“I am pursuing the kingdom of God and equipping people to do the same as vigorously as I am able. I refuse to allow the enemy a stronghold in my thoughts. God is great and all-powerful,” Jackson said in 2014. “I believe He will take me through this battle. In the process, God will gain a great victory and His name will be glorified.”
Jackson is the founder of Streams Ministries International, a ministry that works to encourage, motivate and equip people to walk in greater maturity, wisdom, character and holiness. Jackson is perhaps best-known for his biblical approach to dream interpretation and prophetic evangelism, Charisma previously reported.
Meet the Arab Christians who want to fight for Israel
By Robert Tait, Nazareth – 02 Jan 2015
Sitting in front of the family Christmas tree dressed in military fatigues, Amir Shalayan seemed in no doubt about his identity.
“When you go back back in religion, I consider myself a real Jew,” he said, unabashed by the non-Jewish festive decorations in his living room. “Jesus was Jewish and he was observing the Shabbat (Jewish sabbath).”
Mr Shalayan is in fact an Arab Christian, a category he refers to as “Aramean”, but his strong identification with the Jewish faith is offered as explanation for his keen army service. It also accounts for his vocal support of legislation that envisages officially declaring Israel a Jewish state – despite the presence within its borders of around 1.7 million Arabs, including 161,000 Christians, more than 20 per cent of the population.
The bill to designate Israel as “the nation state of the Jewish people” is supported by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and would deny collective national rights to the Arab minority and strip Arabic of its status as one of the country’s official languages.
