Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing

faithfreedom.org ^ | Ali Sina Posted on Sunday, June 10, 2012 

Jihad has two strategies. One is terror and the other is deception. A group of Muslims terrorizes us and another group deceives us. The deceivers are so disguised that they can fool even the smartest among us. They openly oppose the terrorists and tell us all the things we want to hear. We believe them and think they are on our side. That is where the trap lies. They are wolves in sheep’s clothing.

They are all over the media and respected by even those who know Islam is a threat. Their goal is to make us believe that the real Islam is peaceful and the terrorists are a tiny misguided minority. Those of us who know Islam know better. Nothing is further from the truth. Political Islam and religious Islam are one and the same. You cannot separate stink from excrement. The violence and terror are in the Quran. They are intrinsic to Islam. No one can change that.

Those of us who know Islam know better. Nothing is further from the truth. Political Islam and religious Islam are one and the same. You cannot separate stink from excrement. The violence and terror are in the Quran. No one can change that.

You will be surprised to know who these wolves are. Today I read a message written by a certain Dr. Mohsen El-Guindy, a “moderate Muslim,” in PoliticalIslam.com El-Guindy issued a clear death threat to Ann Branhardt the woman who burned the Quran in defense of the freedom of speech, which is being shamelessly thrown under the bus by the ruling elite at the altar of political correctness.

Josh McDowell Launches Website to Fight Porn, ‘Church’s No. 1 Threat’

By Anugrah Kumar , Christian Post Contributor, May 26, 2012

Apologist and author Josh McDowell launched Just1ClickAway.org, a new website to raise awareness about online pornography which he says is a problem big enough to cause the downfall of the church.

“The downfall of the church will not come from a lack of apologetic teaching; it will come from disintegration of the families in the church,” says a video posted on the website, which was launched this week, just in time for summer vacation when students’ media consumption significantly increases.

“The greatest threat to the cause of Christ is pervasive sexuality and pornography,” McDowell, known as an articulate speaker, said in a statement Thursday. “Today we have, by and large, lost control of the controls because an intrusive immorality is just one click away from our children. With just one keystroke on a smartphone, iPad, or laptop, a child can open up some of the worst pornography and sexually graphic content you can imagine. There’s never been such access in history. “

McDowell, who has written or co-authored 120 books since 1960, backs his claims with stunning statistics about the destructive impact of pornography on the Christian family.

More than 1 billion pornographic websites are one click away, and the average age of first-time viewers of pornography is 9 years old. About 80 percent of 15- to 17-year-olds have been exposed to hardcore porn, and the adult pornography industry reports that 20-30 percent of their traffic comes from children. More shockingly, half of all Christian families report that pornography is a problem, and 30 percent of pastors have viewed pornography in the last 30 days.

HOSTILITY TO CHRISTIANITY IN EUROPE

Dr. Peter Hammond  – July 2012 edition of JOY! Magazine.

The secularisation and paganisation of large sections of Europe is tragic. There are surprisingly dynamic pockets of spiritual vitality and life amidst the general atheism and heathenism, but the general picture in Europe is of spiritual decline.

Missionary Power House

In 1900, Evangelicals in Europe constituted 45% of the world’s Evangelicals. Now less than 4% of all Evangelicals in the world are in Europe. The 19th century was the greatest century of Missionary advance. It was a century of astounding inventions and of spectacular advances in technology. Many countries in Europe experienced dynamic Spiritual Revivals. Christian missionaries from Europe won whole tribes and nations to Christ, in the remotest regions of the globe. For over a thousand years, Europe had been Christendom, the heartland and stronghold of Christian civilisation. The 19th century has seen such staggering growth in numbers, productivity, power and wealth, that most would have imagined that Europe would have continued to dominate the globe for centuries to come. The optimism which had prevailed in the 19th century gave way to profound pessimism after the First World War.

Devastation

However, World War I shattered Europe. An entire generation of young men died in brutal trench warfare. 1914 marked the end of the greatest century of Christian advance and the beginning of what proved to be the worst century of persecution. The consequences of the First World War, continues to have far-reaching repercussions to this present day. Of the 60 million European soldiers who were mobilised from 1914 to 1918, over 9 million were killed, 7 million permanently disabled and 15 million seriously injured.

Interview: T.D. Jakes on 35 Years of Ministry

By Katherine T. Phan , Christian Post Reporter, June 14, 2012

Bishop T.D. Jakes is a jack of all trades and is recognized in all of them. He is known as the senior pastor of the 30,000-member Dallas-based church, The Potter’s House, the New York Times best-selling author of Let It Go, the producer of the hit comedy “Jumping the Broom,” and the founder of a Grammy award-winning Dexterity Sounds label.

His diverse circle of friends reflects his wide-ranging career: Oprah Winfrey, President Obama, Pastor Paula White, Tyler Perry, and Chaka Khan. In the midst of it all, he still finds time to send love tweets to his wife and support relief efforts at his church.

Last week, Jakes was the guest of honor at a big celebration in Dallas to mark his 35th anniversary of ministry, 55th birthday, 30th wedding anniversary, and 15th anniversary of The Potter’s House.

I sat down with Bishop Jakes immediately following the celebration to get his reflection of the night and on his 35 years of ministry.

Having children really does make a man more content with life

May 19th 2012 – The Economist

WILL fatherhood make me happy? That is a question many men have found themselves asking, and the scientific evidence is equivocal. A lot of studies have linked parenthood—particularly fatherhood—with lower levels of marital satisfaction and higher rates of depression than are found among non-parents.

Biologically speaking, that looks odd. Natural selection might be expected to favour the progeny of men who enjoy bringing them up. On the other hand, the countervailing pressure to have other children, by other women, may leave the man who is already encumbered by a set of offspring dissatisfied.

To investigate the matter further Sonja Lyubomirsky, a psychologist at the University of California, Riverside, decided both to study the existing literature, and to conduct some experiments of her own. The results, just published in Psychological Science, suggest parenthood in general, and fatherhood in particular, really are blessings, even though the parent in question might sometimes feel they are in disguise.

Christians to Rededicate the USA to God July 1st and July 4th

Pastor Steven Andrew : Jun 29, 2012 : USAChristianMinistries.com

“Individuals and other patriotic groups like the Tea Party, homeschool groups and pro-life Americans are praying the covenant on July 4th.”

(San Jose, CA)—Churches will rededicate the USA to God with a special covenant prayer on either July 4th or Sunday July 1st, based on service times. “As Americans rededicate the USA to God, we invite God to help fix our nation’s problems,” says Pastor Steven Andrew, president of USA Christian Ministries and author of “Making A Strong Christian Nation.”

Flag and Cross Protestants and Catholics are invited to participate as well as individuals and families. This God and Country prayer is a reminder of God giving Christian liberty to Americans. John Adams said the Fourth of July “ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty.”

USA Christian Ministries has free resources to print. There is a handout and a church bulletin insert for participants to pray as a congregation and to put on their desks and refrigerators at home. The pastor wants everyone to have a free chapter of “Making A Strong Christian Nation.” These tools are available at the source link provided.

There is also a web graphic to share online and an attractive “No King But King Jesus” print. “No King But King Jesus” is an American Revolution motto based on Psalm 47.

“Individuals and other patriotic groups like the Tea Party, homeschool groups and pro-life Americans are praying the covenant on July 4th,” he adds.

“Pastors know that a national covenant with God brings God’s blessings, including God’s presence, protection and economic prosperity,” says Pastor Steven Andrew. The Bible shows us that King Asa and King Josiah affirmed covenant with God and God blessed them (2Chronicles 15, 2Kings 23).

China Forced Abortion Case a ‘Crime Against Humanity,’ Says Christian Lawyer

By Ivana Kvesic , Christian Post Reporter  – World News – Friday, Jun 15, 2012

Well-known Chinese Christian lawyer Zhang Kai has spoken out against a recent forced abortion case in China that captured international attention, labeling the shocking case, in which he intends to represent the mother, a “crime against humanity.”

“The tragic Zhenping case violates the most basic conscience of mankind,” the Christian lawyer who will be representing Feng Jianmei in her case against the local government recently wrote on his blog.

“I cannot accept this kind of blatant murder in the land we that we live in. To ignore it is, I think, is to be no different than the murder. This is a crime against humanity,” Zhang added.

Feng, a 25-year-old resident of Zhenping City in China’s Shanxi Province, was seven months pregnant with her second child when she was recently beaten and forced to have her unborn daughter aborted by local family planning officials. The officials were reportedly enforcing China’s controversial one-child policy.

Forgive and forget? Not this cat

Virginia Trioli   31-5-2012

Rehab sounds like a pretty amazing place. Amy Winehouse sang about not wanting to go there, but anybody else who finds themself drowning from the weight of the baggage they drag with them seems able to go to this place, somewhere over the rainbow, and emerge happy, free and respectable again. And why not? To live free of demons is a great thing. They pay for it with their own reputation and their own money so they have every right to own the outcome.

I am a lot less persuaded by the kind of free-of-charge, memory-free rehabilitation that seems to come to some high-profile people regardless of their missteps and controversies, such is the rush to elevate them again to the position of eminent public figure. My ABC, curiously enough, appears to be engaged in the rehabilitation of former defence minister Peter Reith, by repeated engagements of him as a talking head on this or that political issue. His justly criticised role in the notorious Children Overboard affair – the dissemination of untruths and his failure to correct them – is conveniently overlooked.

The artist formerly known at Cat Stevens is another one to currently enjoy the public pleasures of short-term memory. His new stage show, Moonshadow, based on his songs and some aspects of his life, has been cheerfully embraced by the country’s arts writers as yet another great show to premiere in an Australian city. Now known as Yusuf Islam, his music has been described as being set to reach a new generation of fans too young to remember Tea for the Tillerman. I remember that record. I remember it well. But am I the only one who also still remembers Yusuf on that notorious episode of Geoffrey Robertson’s Hypotheticals on the fatwa declared on writer Salman Rushdie by the then Ayatollah Khomeini?

UK Teenagers Having Up to 7 Abortions, Shocking Figures Show

By Stoyan Zaimov , Christian Post Reporter – May 28, 2012

A new study showing that 38,269 teenagers in Britain had an abortion in 2010 has revealed the alarming statistic that at least three had undergone the procedure at least seven times each, while another four teenagers have terminated pregnancies six times each.

The National Health Service (NHS) figures, which will be released under the Freedom of Information Act this week, are showing that young women were being “let down in an appalling way,” pro-life campaigners in the U.K. have stated.

“There is something seriously wrong with a country where teenagers are having even one abortion, let alone repeat abortions to this extent,” said Rebecca Mallinson, of the Pro Life Alliance, as quoted by The Daily Telegraph.

“We are failing these young people in an appalling way, and storing up serious sexual health problems for the future, whether the direct issue of sexually transmitted diseases, but also the effects that multiple abortions can have on future fertility. (more…)
