Pope Benedict XVI believes the stunt would not have been contemplated with a copy of the Koran
The Pope has condemned a ‘ disgusting’ taxpayer-funded exhibition in which visitors are urged to deface the Bible.
Visitors were offered pens by gallery bosses so they could scrawl comments on the text – leading to a host of puerile and obscene remarks.
Pope Benedict XVI believes the stunt would not have been contemplated with a copy of the Koran.Â
His anger over the show, organised by council-funded arts body Culture
and Sport Glasgow, was expressed by a senior Vatican priest. (more…)
Pakistan Federal Minister for Minorities condemns violence, while some Christian villagers are missing after July 30 attack
By Dan Wooding and Sheraz Khurram Khan
TOBA TEK SINGH, GOJRA, PAKISTAN (ANS) — In another shocking display of violence in Pakistan, Islamists set ablaze some 60 Christian houses in Korian village in Toba Tek Singh district on Thursday, July 30, 2009, at 9:00 pm Pakistan time after a blasphemy accusation was leveled against a young Christian boy, Imran Masih, and his father Talib Masih.
Eye-witnesses told ANS they could still see plumes of smoke rising from some houses of the village today (Friday, July 31.)
The trouble began for the Christian residents of Korian when Talib, a Christian vendor ignorantly brought home a piece of paper that had Quranic verses written on it, along with some other rough papers.
Talib’s children innocently ripped apart the paper not understanding its contents.
When some local Muslims found the torn pieces of paper, the anti-Christian hostility spread like a wildfire in the village. (more…)

A Christian woman who faces 40 lashes for wearing trousers in Sudan made a dramatic appearance in court yesterday to fight her case.
Lubna Ahmed al-Hussein walked into the packed hearing in the same green slacks that got her arrested.
Under Islamic laws used in parts of the country, it is illegal for a woman to wear trousers rather than long skirts in public.
Lubna al-Hussein, along with several other women, was arrested for dressing indecently in trousers as she dined in a restaurant
But the law is not supposed to apply to non-Muslims like Miss Hussein, a former journalist who works for the United Nations.
And it is only imposed sporadically in the capital, Khartoum, where she was arrested.
Indecency cases are not uncommon in Sudan, but Miss Hussein has used hers to campaign against dress codes. (more…)

Conservative Christian leaders are ramping up their opposition to a health care reform bill that they say opens the door to government-funded abortion.
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins hosted a press conference today on Capitol Hill calling on Congress to oppose the reform measure that he said amounts to a government takeover of health care.
“President Obama and his liberal allies in Congress have ignored the moral, ethical and financial dangers of this plan,” Perkins said. “The takeover will suffocate small business owners with incalculable new taxes. And it would mandate taxpayer-funded abortion, abortifacient drugs and limit end-of-life care. … From the inevitability of rationed care to diminishing human dignity, the president’s plan amounts to a prescription for a health care disaster.”
Perkins was joined by Bishop Harry Jackson, leader of the High Impact Leadership Coalition; Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America; Doug Johnson, legislative director of the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC); and Kristen Day, executive director of Democrats for Life of America.

By Jono Pech - Sunrayasia Daily - Saturday, August 15, 2009 PASTOR Danny Nalliah knows some people will not like what he has to say, but he is not afraid…
Dear friends and family in Christ,
Over the last weekend the Spirit of God moved mightily in Mildura as Pas Danny ministered at several combined church services at the Living Waters Church. Many Pastors, Christian believers from others churches, and people from the local community came together to catch the fire of the Holy Spirit! An excellent newspaper article from Jono Pech in the Sunraysia Daily on Saturday morning 15th August (just before the revival meetings) attracted many non-believers to church. This article will be available to read on our website on Wednesday 19th August.Â
Praise God that some surrendered their lives to Jesus as Lord and Savior! Many received supernatural deliverance, healing and restoration from the mighty hand of God!

When I read the brief on what was contained in the National Health Care bill that is now being presented before Congress, I could not believe I was reading something that was actually being considered in the United States of America. This is not about money or government mismanagement—this is about something far more diabolical than that. As incomprehensible as it may seem, this is about euthanasia, the power to determine who lives or dies in America. Hitler and Stalin would have loved to have had a means such as this for dispatching the millions they killed—it would have made their job much easier, and probably given them the ability to kill many more than they did. THIS BILL IS THAT SINISTER. This is not a joke—this is actually the nature of what is being proposed in the National Health Care legislation, and it is the obvious reason why the Obama Administration wants to ram it through Congress before anyone gets a chance to read it.
I have resolved to always be as generous as I can toward people with opposing views of my own. I do this because I believe it is the mandate of I Corinthians 13 to always believe the best about people, rather than the worst. I know this opens me up to be misled by some, but I consider that a small price to pay to not become cynical. I also do it because I think it is wise to always try and understand the position of my opponents—to be open to consider their positions and not be too rigid or inflexible to change because we all “see in part,†and “know in part.†(more…)

Muslim extremists early this morning killed a Christian convert in Mahadday Weyne, Somalia, 62 miles north of Mogadishu.
Al Shabaab Islamist rebels shot Mohammed Sheikh Abdiraman to death at 7 a.m., eyewitnesses told Compass. They said the Islamic extremists appeared to have been hunting the convert from Islam, and when they found him they did not hesitate to shoot him.
The sources told Compass that Abdiraman was the leader of an underground “cell group” of Christians in Somalia.
“We are very sad about this incident, and we also are not safe,” one eyewitness said by telephone. “Pray for us.”
The sources were too distraught to share more details about Abdiraman’s death. Another eyewitness who requested anonymity said Abdiraman had been a Christian for 15 years. He is survived by two children, ages 15 and 10. His wife died three years ago due to illness. (more…)

Some 4,000 Christians have gathered in the nation’s capital this week to learn about Israel and the Middle East, and to tell congressional leaders not to pressure Israel into giving up land to the Palestinians.
Pro-lsrael Christians have come from across the U.S. to participate in the fourth annual Christians United for Israel (CUFI) Washington Summit, which began Monday and runs through Wednesday. The event will give participants an opportunity to demonstrate their support for the Holy Land by lobbying U.S. lawmakers to back the Jewish nation.
“America really shouldn’t be pressuring Israel to make concessions Israelis don’t want to make,” said CUFI executive director David Brog. “Israel has been devoted to the peace process.”
He said Israel has withdrawn “over and over again” and made “painful concessions for peace.”
“But it hasn’t brought peace,” he told Charisma. “It’s brought renewed aggression.”
He said CUFI wants the U.S. to “respect Israel’s allies … and its democracy.” (more…)

A historical move of God swept the capital of Sri Lanka that has not been seen in over 30 years! This was the first major evangelistic meeting during a time of peace that was declared only month ago. As we drove out of the airport huge billboards dominated the roads advertising the meetings with “Do you believe in Miracles” with the information. Everynight was packed out with thousands of people, at least 30% of them were unbelievers. Buddhism is the national religion as all the government officals are Buddhists and the stronghold of original Buddhism is based in Sri Lanka as Buddha set up his base in this nation before he died. Even Buddha’s tooth is enshrined in Sri Lanka.
Dear Friends and Family in Christ,
Following is a link to a very good article from the Saturday 1st August edition of the Geelong Advertiser in Victoria, Australia regarding anti-discrimination legislation as discriminatory and Pastor Danny’s court case fought for freedom of speech and religion.
Attorney General Rob Hulls from the State Government of Victoria wants the exemptions removed from the Racial & Religious Tolerance Act presently given to religious organisations. This will lead to Christian schools being forced to recruit non-Christian teachers, such as Homosexuals, Secular Humanists, Atheists, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, New Agers, etc. Furthermore, the proposed Bill of Rights will gag Pastors, Leaders, and all followers of Christ from speaking openly against practices and lifestyles such as Homosexuality, Abortion, Witchcraft, other Religions, and the list goes on and on!

Dear family and friends in Christ,
What a glorious and mighty God we serve in this Great South Land of the Holy Spirit!
The Rise Up Australia 9th Anniversary Celebration was a great evening of united prayer, corporate worship and prophetic intercession for the transformation of our nation of Australia. Christians from 38 churches, including many different denominations and ethnic groups, united together as an integral part of the body of Christ in Melbourne. The unity demonstrated was absolutely amazing and as they passionately worshipped the King of kings and Lord of lords, the heavens opened up as the mighty presence of God fell in the place!
The prayer warriors who had gathered cried out to the Father in heaven for a mighty harvest of souls and for the Bride of Christ to be prepared for the 2nd coming of the Lord, with people everywhere declaring ‘Australia for Jesus’! (more…)
