Mark
"Finishing
Well" is the
name of the
game.
"Finishing
Well" is
the name
of the
game.
Here was
a rich,
young
ruler -
a 1st
century
"yuppie"
if you
will -
who,
although
getting
off to a
rather
problematic
beginning,
finished
well,
indeed.
A rich
young
ruler
questioned
Christ
about
what he
needed
to do to
inherit
eternal
life.
Mark's
Gospel
includes
a detail
that
Matthew
and Luke
failed
to
mention:
" And
Jesus
looking
upon him
loved
him..."
This
hints at
the
possibility
that
young
John
Mark
himself
may have
been
that
rich
young
man.

IS FRESH
LEADERSHIP
AHEAD IN
NORTH KOREA?
- (Print)
Chinese
government-approved
reports
confirm
a
hush-hush
visit
between
President
Hu
Jintao
and
North
Korea's
Kim
Jong-Il
last
week.
The
meeting
notably
took
place
just as
former
US
President
Jimmy
Carter
arrived
on an
official
visit to
North
Korea to
negotiate
the
release
of two
Americans
being
imprisoned
there.
As far
as
public
displays
of
affection
go, Kim
left
Carter
standing
at the
altar
while he
embraced
China.
China is
the only
country
North
Korea's
secretive
man
behind
the
shades
ever
ventures
to pay a
visit
to, and
Kim's
timing
is
uncanny.
Wretched
US
relations
with
North
Korea
have not
improved
during
the
Obama
administration.
Kim's
government
still
claims
no
responsibility
for the
torpedo
that
destroyed
a South
Korean
warship
and
killed
46
sailors
in
March,
adding
to
existing
tensions.
Earlier
this
week,
President
Obama
signed
to
expand
financial
sanctions
against
eight
key
North
Korean
businesses
and four
individuals.
Stricter
sanctions
may also
have
been
spurred
by the
DRPK's
nuclear
weapon
and
missile
tests
last
year and
the
concern
that
Pyongyang's
nuclear
facilities
now have
enough
plutonium
to
produce
half-a-dozen
or more
atomic
bombs.
North
Korean
underground
trade
has
ramped
up
enough
to
support
not only
US-dollar
counterfeiting
operations,
but also
further
nuclear
armament.
Though
Beijing
and
Pyongyang
have
been
allies
since
Chinese
troops
came to
the aid
of North
Korean
soldiers
during
the
Korean
War, the
North
Korea-China
connection
is worth
watching
for
several
reasons:
First,
China
has
risen to
the
position
of
second
greatest
economic
power on
the
globe,
second
only to
the
United
States.
A
powerful
country
does not
rule
without
directly
or
indirectly
buoying
its
allies.
This
brings
us to
Kim
Jong-Eun,
second
son and
likely
successor
to his
ailing
father's
throne,
who was
included
in the
"Dear
leader's"
visit to
Beijing.
Kim
announced
before
the
assembled
Chinese
banqueters,
that
"steadily
developing
the
friendship
(between
North
Korea
and
China)
through
the
generations
is an
important
issue in
defending
peace
and
security"
and that
his trip
was a
"historical
mission"
conferring
power to
a
"rising
generation."
This
gives us
some
hints as
to the
purpose
of his
visit to
China.
The
DPRK's
ruling
Worker's
Party is
scheduled
to hold
a
meeting
next
month,
and
political
analysts
suggest
it would
be a
fitting
time for
the
elder
Kim to
announce
his
intentions
for son
Kim
Jong-Eun
to
assume
his role
in the
dynasty.
Kim has
introduced
his son
to his
allies
in the
Chinese
leadership,
smoothing
the way
for his
succession.
Second,
China's
state-approved
media
have
confirmed
that Kim
has been
talking
with Hu
Jintao
about
renewing
the six
party
talks--
the
negotiations
between
the US,
North
Korea,
Russian,
Japan,
South
Korea
and
China
about
the
denuclearization
of
Pyongyang.
North
Korea
walked
out of
the
talks a
year
ago, and
the
Obama
Administration
has
expressed
reluctance
to renew
the
discussions
"simply
for the
sake of
talk" if
North
Korea
wants
only to
continue
their
race to
arms.
China
has now
approached
Japan
about
continuing
the
talks.
Japanese
officials
publicly
declined
reopening
the six
party
discussion
on
Tuesday.
Third,
from a
human
rights
standpoint,
China's
economic
strength
allows
it -
perhaps
forces
it by
its
proximity
- to
prop up
Kim
Jong-Il's
cash-poor
authoritarian
regime,
keeping
the DPRK
government
living
high off
the hog
while
its
neglected
population
starves.
It's a
frightening
irony
that our
dependence
on
products
"made in
China"
provides
this
communist
nation
with the
great
economic
power it
holds
today,
and has
given it
the
ability
to
support
tyrants
like Kim
Jong-Il.
The
North
Koreans
would-be
refugees
who
manage
to
escape
detection
while
navigating
the
treacherous
Korean
peninsula
reach
China,
instead
of being
sheltered
from
further
abuse,
are
immediately
captured
by
Chinese
border
guards
and
returned
to the
Korean
authorities
- a
guarantee
of
execution
or
imprisonment
in a
labor
camp.
China
certainly
doesn't
want to
be
flooded
by
refugees
should
Kim's
empire
collapse.
From
both an
arms
trade
and
money-laundering
standpoint,
China
provides
a fence
for
North
Korea's
illicit
goods
and
fronts.
The US
Treasury
Monday
accused
two
specific
culprits
of
illicit
trading
activities
- Chun
Byong-ho,
leader
of the
Second
Economic
Committee
of the
Korean
Worker's
Party,
and
alleged
orchestrator
for a
major
nuclear-related
trade
deal
with
Pakistan
in the
90‘s,
and Yun
Ho-jin a
DPRK
arms
chief
and
Pyongyang's
special
envoy
and UN
negotiator
for the
1985
International
Atomic
Energy
Agency
assembly.
In May,
a
special
UN
Committee
enforcing
DPRK
sanctions
stated
that
it's
finding
the
Second
Economic
Committee
"plays
the
largest
and most
prominent
role in
nuclear,
other
WMD and
missile-related
development
programs,
as well
as
arranging
and
conducting
arms-related
exports"
in North
Korea.
Such
offices
and
committees
have
used the
protection
offered
by China
to
openly
conduct
illegal
trade
that
funds
the DRPK
and Kim
Jong-Il's
paranoid
military
stockpiling,
drawing
an
outcry
from
Washington.
China is
certainly
not
North
Korea's
only
accomplice
in arms
trade or
violence
against
democracy,
however.
For
decades,
Washington
specialists
and
foreign
defectors
have
followed
the
illicit
business
dealings
of North
Korea,
connecting
them to
Syria,
Myanmar,
and Iran
-
countries
that,
now, and
over
decades,
have
hosted
storefronts
that
serve as
funnels
for
weaponry,
contraband,
luxury
items,
and
illicit
dealings
that
fund
Kim's
government.
As far
back as
the
1960s,
the
North
Korean
military
supplied
fighter
pilots
to Egypt
and
Syria
for
attacks
on
Israel,
and,
according
to one
high-ranking
defector,
in the
1980s
the
Second
Economic
Committee
sent
Korean
military
experts
to work
side-by-side
with the
Islamic
Revolutionary
Guard
Corps in
Iran.
Pray for
the
upcoming
shift in
leadership
as the
elder
Kim
transfers
power to
his
successor.
Pray
that
this
successor
has a
softened
heart,
open
eyes,
surrounds
himself
with
good
counsel,
and
makes
changes
for the
better
in the
country
he
leads.
Pray
that
American
diplomats
and
leaders
maintain
the
right
kind of
relationships,
allies,
and
business
partners.
Pray
that
China
uses its
power
for good
in the
world.
And pray
that
Christ's
followers
in every
country
shine
His
light
and lead
others
into the
freedom
that
only the
Truth
(and The
Way and
The
Life)
can
give.

MAKING
CHOICES WE
DON'T FEEL
- (Print)
(The
following
article
is
excerpted
from
Nancy
Missler's
book
Against
The
Tide:
Getting
Beyond
Ourselves.)
Most of
us are
convinced
we
already
"walk by
faith."
We teach
these
principles
to
others
and we
encourage
our
families
and our
friends
to do
likewise.
But, if
we are
really
honest
with
ourselves,
we'd
have to
admit
that
most of
the
time, we
don't
walk by
faith,
but by
what we
see,
think,
feel and
want to
do.
Unfortunately,
these
natural
components
of our
makeup
(seeing,
thinking,
and
feeling)
determine
most
aspects
of our
lives,
even as
believers.
Should
our
natural
thoughts
and
emotions
carry
this
much
weight?
Should
they be
the
basis of
our
existence,
especially
as
Christians?
How can
we
control
them?
How can
we tame
them?
And,
most
importantly,
how can
we get
beyond
them? In
other
words,
how do
we go
Against
the Tide
in order
to
follow
God and
do His
will?
Feeling
What We
Choose
As
humans,
we are
programmed
from our
birth to
feel
every
choice
we make.
When we
don't
"feel"
our
choices,
we're
convinced
that
they're
not
genuine.
In God's
kingdom,
however,
this is
not the
case.
Born-again
believers
are the
only
ones who
have the
supernatural
authority
of God
to
choose
to go
against
"self" -
what
they
think,
what
they
feel and
what
they
want.
This is
a fact
because
born-again
believers
are the
only
ones who
have the
supernatural
power of
God
within
them to
perform
something
different
than
what
"self"
wants,
thinks
and
feels.
Let me
explain:
Certainly
non-believers
have a
choice
to do as
they
please.
But none
of them
have the
authority
or the
power to
choose
to go
against
how they
feel or
what
they
think
because
they
don't
possess
another
power
source
(another
spirit)
within
them to
perform
anything
different
than
what
"self"
tells
them.
Therefore,
even
though
they
might
desperately
want to
change
and want
to go a
different
direction,
they
don't
possess
the
ability
within
them to
do so.
Thus,
they
really
don't
have any
other
choice
but to
follow
what
their
own
thoughts,
emotions
and
desires
are
telling
them
(Ephesians
4:17-18).
Christians,
on the
other
hand,
do! We
don't
have to
be
carried
on by
the tide
of
emotion,
because
we have
God's
Spirit
within
us. His
Spirit
not only
gives us
the
authority
to
choose
God's
will,
but also
His
power to
perform
that
will in
our
lives.
This
means
that
believers
and
nonbelievers
alike
can
choose
whatever
they
wish.
They
each can
make
non-feeling
choices.
But only
Christians
have the
supernatural
power
and
ability
of God
within
them to
be able
to
implement
and
carry
out
those
faith
choices
in their
lives.
Here's a
perfect
example:
One
Christmas,
years
ago, we
rented a
house at
Lake
Tahoe
for two
weeks.
Our
intention
was to
be
totally
alone -
just our
family.
What a
dream.
We would
be
together
for two
whole
weeks,
playing
games
and
reading.
I could
even
work on
my
upcoming
speech
for a
new
class I
was
teaching.
I
couldn't
wait! My
own mom
and dad
were
visiting
my
brother
in San
Francisco,
and we
could
have
easily
invited
them
down to
Tahoe
for a
few
days.
But
Chuck
had said
no, this
was to
be our
own
special
vacation
- just
our
family -
with no
intrusions.
One
fabulous
week
went by.
Our
family
never
seemed
closer.
There
was no
TV and
no
outside
influences
to
disturb
our
unity.
We all
read,
talked,
relaxed,
and did
our own
thing.
It was
absolutely
wonderful!
Then one
morning,
out of
the
blue,
Chuck
announced
to all
of us,
"I hope
you
don't
mind,
but I
have
invited
a
business
associate
and his
wife up
here to
join us
for a
few
days."
Well,
you
could
have
knocked
me over
dead.
Chuck is
the one
who had
made
such a
big deal
about
having
no
outside
interferences!
If I had
known he
would
allow
company,
I would
have
much
rather
had my
own
folks!
"How
long are
these
business
people
going to
stay?" I
asked.
"Well,
as long
as they
want, I
guess,"
he
responded.
He had
actually
left the
invitation
open-ended!
At that
moment,
in the
flesh I
could
have
killed
him! I
was so
upset
and so
angry!
Here we
weren't
supposed
to have
anything
or
anyone
disturb
our
family
or our
privacy,
and now
we're
not only
having
an
outsider
over
(someone
I had
never
even met
before),
but they
were
staying
for who
knows
how
long! I
just
couldn't
believe
Chuck
would do
something
like
that. I
needn't
tell you
how I
wrestled
with
anger
and
bitterness
towards
him.
Later,
when I
was
sharing
this
story in
one of
my
seminars,
someone
stood up
right in
the
middle
of the
story
and
asked,
"Well,
Nancy,
did you
tell
Chuck
off
right
then and
there?"
I
laughed
and
responded
to this
precious
sister,
"Man, I
wanted
to. It's
our
natural
human
tendency
to
immediately
tell the
other
person
how we
feel,
but
that's
not
always
what God
would
have us
do. So,
no, I
didn't
tell
Chuck
off
right
then,
and
there
were two
good
reasons
why I
didn't:
1) Chuck
had
already
extended
an
invitation
to this
couple,
so it
was
already
a fact
that
they
were
coming,
and I
couldn't
do
anything
about it
by
throwing
a
tantrum;
and 2) I
wasn't
clean. I
was full
of my
own wild
emotions
and
uncontrolled
thoughts.
Therefore,
I had to
first
deal
with my
own
anger
and
resentment
before I
could
take a
stand in
God's
Love
with
Chuck."
Later,
when I
was
clean
(after I
had
confessed
and
given
God all
my
feelings)
and my
emotions
were
back in
place, I
did tell
Chuck in
Love how
disappointed
I was
that he
had gone
against
what he
had
promised.
I know
he heard
all that
I shared
because
the kids
had
already
gone to
him and
shared
the very
same
thing.
So,
there's
definitely
a time
when we
can
share
how we
really
feel,
but we
must
make
sure
it's
done in
God's
Love and
in His
Character
and not
our own.
Otherwise,
we'll
end up
deeper
in the
pits
than
when we
started.
The day
after
Christmas,
we heard
from the
couple
that
they
were on
their
way. In
order to
prepare
for
their
arrival
we had
to
rearrange
the
children's
rooms so
the
guests
could
have a
room of
their
own,
make a
special
trip to
the
grocery
store to
buy
extra
food,
and
clean
the
house as
you
would
for
company.
So much
energy
and fuss
goes
into
having
guests,
especially
when
they are
business
acquaintances
and you
have
never
even met
them
before.
These
were all
things
that I
shouldn't
have had
to do on
my
vacation.
I will
never
forget
the day
they
arrived!
Our
girls
were
watching
for them
out the
window
and all
of a
sudden
they
yelled,
"Mom,
here
they
are! And
Mom,
they
brought
all of
their
kids!"
At that
moment,
if Chuck
had been
close
enough,
I think
I would
have
strangled
him!
This now
made 12
people
to feed
three
times a
day,
clean up
after,
and
entertain
for who
knows
how
long!
And all
this on
my
vacation!
I can't
tell you
the
number
of times
I went
to the
Lord,
frustrated
and
crying,
saying,
"You
know I
came up
here to
work on
my
speech
for the
next
Way of
Agape
seminar
and now,
Lord, I
can't!"
You know
what the
Lord
would
always
answer?
"I want
you to
work on
the
material
for your
next
seminar,
but I
want you
to
'live'
it
first! I
am
giving
you a
perfect
opportunity
to
glorify
Me and
be full
of My
Life to
these
people."
I
replied
in all
honesty,
"I'd
much
rather
'write'
about it
than
'live'
it!"
Constantly,
I had to
make a
choice
as to
which
way I
would
go. I
could
make an
emotional
choice
to
follow
what my
anger,
resentment,
and
bitterness
were
telling
me (to
tell
Chuck
off, put
on a
smiling
"face"
for the
guests,
and get
rid of
them as
soon as
possible).
Or I
could
make a
faith
choice
and
follow
what God
was
telling
me to
do,
which
was to
give Him
my hurts
and
anger,
and know
that He
somehow
would
give me
the
Love,
grace
and
strength
I needed
to
genuinely
put
Chuck
and
these
new
people
first.
Don't
let me
kid you
- it
wasn't
easy!
Making
choices
you
don't
feel,
and
especially
ones you
don't
want to
make, is
extremely
difficult.
But as I
kept
choosing
over and
over
again to
follow
God and
go His
Way, He
was
faithful
to take
away my
anger
and
resentment
and fill
me with
His Love
- not
only for
Chuck,
but also
for
these
people.
The
business
associate
and his
wife
turned
out to
be a
delightful
Jewish
couple.
They
even
taught
us some
Hebrew
and
answered
many of
our
questions
about
the Old
Testament.
We ended
up
having a
marvelous
four
days
with
them.
Interestingly
enough,
it was
during
this
time
that God
sparked
the idea
for the
book,
Be Ye
Transformed.
Can you
imagine
what
kind of
impression
I would
have
made on
these
people
if I had
chosen
not to
surrender
myself
to God?
I would
have
been
full of
my own
hurts
and
bitterness
with a
plastic
smile
over my
face,
pretending
to be
happy
and
glad,
but
showing
forth
"self
life"
and not
God's
Life at
all. One
of those
"phony-baloney
Christians."
You know
they
would
have
sensed
it.
"... ye
are like
unto
whited
sepulchres,
which
indeed
appear
beautiful
outward,
but are
within
full of
dead
men's
bones,
and of
all
uncleanness."
(Matthew
23:27)
Honesty
with God
Faith
choices,
or
"contrary
choices,"
are the
only
ones
that can
free us
from
ourselves
and
unleash
all of
God's
Power to
come to
our aid.
I like
the term
"contrary
choices"
because
these
kind of
choices
are
definitely
contrary
to what
I feel,
what I
think
and what
I
desire.
As
Christians,
we can
be
totally
honest
with God
and
admit,
"I don't
love
this
person
anymore.
In fact,
I really
can't
stand
him
right
now.
But, by
faith, I
give
these
negative
thoughts
and
feelings
to You,
for I
know I
have
Your
authority
to
claim,
like
Jesus
did in
Matthew
26:39,
"...not
my will
(not my
natural
feelings
and
desires),
but
Thine."
Then I
can be
assured
that
(since I
am a
cleansed
vessel)
God will
align my
feelings
with
that
choice
and make
me
genuine,
give me
His
supernatural
Love and
perform
His will
in and
through
me.
To me,
this is
one of
the most
incredible
gifts
God has
given
us. We
don't
have to
"feel"
our
choices,
we
simply
have to
be
willing
to make
them.
God,
then, in
His
perfect
timing
and way,
will do
the
rest.

PET DOGS,
SHARIA AND
BLESSING OUR
ENEMIES - (Print)
If we
did not
have
enough
reasons
for
dreading
Sharia
law,
Iran has
given us
another
one; dog
ownership
is out.
Iran
banned
all
advertisements
for pets
on
Friday,
including
ads for
pet
food,
pet
shops,
and
other
pet
products.
Why?
Because
Iranian
dog
owners
care
entirely
too much
about
Fido,
and that
infatuation
could
lead to
"evil
outcomes"
of some
mysterious
nature,
besides
the fact
that
dogs are
unclean
animals
in
Islam.
"Many
people
in the
West
love
their
dogs
more
than
their
wives
and
children,"
the
Grand
Ayatollah
declared.
The
situation,
of
course,
is more
serious
than the
banning
of
canine
companions
(although
that's
pretty
rough).
Sharia
law
isn't
just
threatening
to keep
Persians
from
their
pooches.
In
Afghanistan
in early
August,
the
Taliban
lashed
35-year-old
Bibi
Sanubar
200
times
before
shooting
her to
death
for
adultery
–
adultery
that
allegedly
took
place
after
her
husband
had
passed
away.
Sakineh
Mohammadi
Ashtiani,
the
Iranian
women
who was
given 99
lashes
and has
thus far
avoided
execution
by
stoning,
was told
this
weekend
that she
would be
hanged
on
Sunday –
but the
execution
did not
take
place.
Ashtiani
was
tortured
until
she
"confessed"
to the
murder
of her
husband
- an act
she
claims
was
devised
and
carried
out by
his
cousin.
While
she
awaits
her
fate,
the
Iranian
government
continues
to play
tormenting
head
games –
such as
mock
execution
days.
The
promotion
of Sharia
is not
confined
to the
Middle
East.
Its
rigid
regulations
and
devaluing
of women
have
followed
large
populations
of
Muslims
into
European
nations
and
beyond.
The
spread
of Islam
through
the
North
Caucasus,
between
the
Black
and
Caspian
Seas in
European
Russia,
has
brought
with it
the
Sharia
mentality.
The
region
of
Chechnya
has been
particularly
troubled
and the
Russian
constitution
has been
violated
by those
who are
more
interested
in
upholding
Islamic
law than
the
local
Russian
law.
Women
are
harassed
and shot
with
paintball
guns for
not
wearing
head
coverings.
Eateries
are
ordered
to close
for the
month of
Ramadan
– and
they do
it. In
May,
Kremlin-backed
Chechen
leader
Ramzan
Kadyrov
told the
French
newspaper
Le
Figaro
in an
interview
that
Russian
law is
not as
important
as
Sharia
law in
the
region.
This
past
December,
Vakha
Khashkhanov,
the head
of
Chechnya's
Centre
for
Spiritual-Moral
Education,
informed
Reuters
that
Chechnya
permits
polygamy.
This is
in
Russia,
not
Iran.
Sharia
is
considered
by
Muslims
to be
God's
law,
although
there is
disagreement
about
what
exactly
Sharia
entails.
Its
interpretation
can vary
from
nation
to
nation
and
culture
to
culture.
Islamic
scholars
have
their
various
opinions.
Yet, as
Muslim
communities
grow in
the
West,
Islam's
influence
has
enlarged
as well.
Since
2007,
the
Muslim
Arbitration
Tribunal
(MAT)
has
existed
in
Britain,
according
to its
website,
"to
provide
a viable
alternative
for the
Muslim
community
seeking
to
resolve
disputes
in
accordance
with
Islamic
Sacred
Law and
without
having
to
resort
to
costly
and time
consuming
litigation."
British
law
still
trumps
Sharia
law, and
hopefully
men who
rape and
beat
their
wives
are not
let free
to
continue
the
subjugation
and
abuse,
but MAT
has the
blessing
of the
British
government
to take
care of
minor
disputes
according
to
Islamic
law.
And in
America?
According
to a new
Newsweek
poll, 51
percent
of
Republicans
believe
that
President
Obama
"sympathizes
with the
goals of
Islamic
fundamentalists
who want
to
impose
Islamic
law
around
the
world."
That's
not all
- 59
percent
of
Republicans
and 28
percent
of
political
independents
think
"Obama
favors
the
interests
of
Muslim
Americans
over
other
groups
of
Americans."
Those
views
maybe
strengthened
by
President
Obama's
recent
support
of the
"right"
of
Muslims
to build
a major
mosque
two
blocks
from
Ground
Zero.
Does
Obama
really
have a
secret
desire
to
expand
the
power of
Sharia
law
around
the
world?
That
would be
a
contradiction,
certainly,
for a
man who
supports
comprehensive
sex
education,
abortion,
and gay
rights.
The poll
does
demonstrate
that the
fear of
Sharia
law has
grown in
America,
and as
the
ninth
anniversary
of
September
11, 2001
approaches,
the
painful
memories
are once
again
making
their
rounds.
Bless
And Not
Curse:
However,
fear is
not the
answer,
especially
not for
Christians.
Christians
need to
remember
that
Muslims
are
human
beings
for whom
Jesus
died,
and they
hold in
themselves
the
desperate
desire
for
God's
love and
forgiveness
that any
other
human
carries.
The
decision
to build
a mosque
down the
street
from the
spot
where
Islamic
jihadists
tore us
open was
insensitive
at the
least,
but it
was not
the
decision
of every
Muslim.
It is
also
important
to
remember
that
many
Muslims
come to
America
because
they
want
freedom.
They
long for
hope and
stability
and a
place to
raise
their
families
without
fear. Americans
who
convert
to
Islam may
be much
harder
to talk
to than
those
from
Islamic
countries
who love
their
new home
in the
land of
the
free.
Many
Muslims
have no
clue
that God
loves
them and
wants
them to
know Him
personally.
A large
number
are
intimidated
by their
religious
leaders
and feel
no
freedom
to
search
for God
outside
of the
heavy
hand of
Islam.
While
those
committing
murder
in the
name of
Islam
must be
stopped,
individual
Muslims
still
need to
know the
love and
forgiveness
that can
be found
in
Christ
alone.
We in
the
Christian
community
need to
embrace
Muslims
with
Christ's
love and
show
them who
God is
through
the
power of
His
Spirit
working
in us.
If
members
of the
Muslim
community
count us
their
enemies,
Christians
must
pray for
them.
"But
I say
unto
you,
Love
your
enemies,
bless
them
that
curse
you, do
good to
them
that
hate
you, and
pray for
them
which
despitefully
use you,
and
persecute
you."
-Matthew
5:44
The
concern
about
the
spread
of
Sharia
law is
not an
empty
one; it
threatens
to
follow
devoted
Muslim
communities
wherever
they go.
However,
we hope
to show
them a
better
way.
See the
9th and
10th
links
below for
further
study on
Islam
and how
to
minister
to
Muslims.
May God
show you
His
heart in
every
situation!
"For
all the
law is
fulfilled
in one
word,
even in
this;
Thou
shalt
love thy
neighbour
as
thyself."
–
Galatians
5:14

Beyond Time and Space - DVD
Are there more than four dimensions
to physical reality?
Is it possible to traverse time as
well as space?
Is there a reality beyond our
traditional concepts of time and
space?
The startling discovery of modern
science is that our physical
universe is actually finite.
Scientists now acknowledge that the
universe had a beginning. They call
the singularity from which it all
began the "Big Bang."
While the detail among the many
variants of these theories remain
quite controversial, the fact that
there was a definite beginning has
gained widespread agreement. This
is, of course, what the Bible has
maintained throughout its 66 books.

Son of Hamas
- Book by Mosab Hassan Yousef
Since he was a small boy, Mosab
Hassan Yousef has had an inside view
of the deadly terrorist group Hamas.
The oldest son of Sheikh Hassan
Yousef, a founding member of Hamas
and its most popular leader, young
Mosab assisted his father for years
in his political activities while
being groomed to assume his legacy,
politics, status … and power. But
everything changed when Mosab turned
away from terror and violence, and
embraced instead the teachings of
another famous Middle East leader.
In Son of Hamas, Mosab Yousef--now
called “Joseph”--reveals new
information about the world's most
dangerous terrorist organization and
unveils the truth about his own
role, his agonizing separation from
family and homeland, the dangerous
decision to make his newfound faith
public, and his belief that the
Christian mandate to “love your
enemies” is the only way to peace in
the Middle East.
