Podcast, Blog, Bible study and commentary on cultural events, politics and news from a Christian world view perspective. Join me and let's talk about what's going on! Feel free to share and God bless.
It's a religion that's meant to keep people submitting and proving oneself in struggling for Islam as well as works and repetitious religious rituals. However, if one looks into the historicity of the texts and the inconsistency of its claims, there's no way that having the FREEDOM of leave or deny this religion without compulsion, death threats and blasphemy laws... people would not break free even more than they are now.
In many nations, freedom is happening (in the West, Iran, Yemen, Turkey, Africa, etc.).
Praying that The Holy Spirit of God will continue freeing people from the bondage of religious deception.
Is there assurance of salvation?
Is it a cult?
Is Muhammed a true prophet?
Once they learn, they leave!
Many are leaving Islam
Conversion by love or by the sword?
Jesus says, "love your wives", Muhammed says "beat your wives"...
Wes Huff on the core claims of Islam:

NEW YORK, GOING THE WAY OF CAIN !
THE ISMAMIFICATION OF THE WEST CONTINUES, AND IT'S SPREADING IN US CITIES FAST AND IN REAL-TIME!
Today's talk is on the intimidation factor of speaking up in evangelism. Sometimes, we're either too harsh or to intimidated to speak up as the Church.
Something always told me (and I bet you too) that giving away something as personal as your genetics (over the mail) would be a bad idea! I always like to say, A little paranoia goes a long way!
The hate we're seeing surrounding this conflict in Israel is of Biblical proportions. Only the spiritually blind can fail to see that what's unfolding in the Middle East is exactly what we read in the Bible.
I myself have gone back and forth between the idea of whether or not Israel should just stop the war, and insist on retaining the lives of those who have been captured as hostages by Hamas.
However, the circumstances in Israel are beyond the scope of what most here in the West can understand. Israel has lived far too long with the constant threat against their very existence among absolute radicals who are beyond human reasoning.
The West has for so long been bombarded by far-left propagandas and our youth are now marching in the streets expressing the same demonic homicidal hatred and most without a full understanding of why.
Yet what's happening in Israel might be the prophetic hook that'll force and guide world powers into this escalating violent drama as well.
As Christians, we must continue praying that God's will be done and to strengthen us so that we might maintain clarity at such a time as this.
Many Reformed believers will deny that God is still including Israel in His prophetic timeline but I do believe Israel as a nation, has a purpose despite their spiritual blindness.
Can we still say that "Israel is God's chosen nation"...
No.
But God is still not done with "The Jews" as a people. He will call them back as a nation (re-graphded in The Vine), and they will recognize their Messiah in repentance (as it is written).
The festering symptoms and signs of a society in decline: Prostitution.
As corruption continues in high places, our government abandons the needed physical infrastructure as well as moral infrastructure to maintain order. This is what government corruption looks like.
This is what it looks like when government hates its people. When control and power is more important than human well being.
Perhaps not all in government hate us but without a doubt, and it's more than obvious that there are way too many who have infiltrated our nation's government and who have no love for our nation or its people.
There are many already compromised and dedicated to our nation's dismantling and destruction.
Abandonment of what is right and the muddying of what is wrong is what we see every single day.
Stealing from the people via imposed tax increase and then allocation of our money for investments outside the interest of the people.
The purposeful depletion of our economy by extreme spending to the tune of $150 trillion of debt we could NEVER pay back, and only approx. $5 trillion in assets of which approx. 40% is in student debt. How pathetic is that!
Our nation has always been threatened by its enemies "foreign and domestic" (even before the founding of our nation) but for decades, it's been on full attack mode by infiltration and subversion.
America's enemies have morally weakened the people from various fronts and now saving this nation can only be done but by the grace of God. Returning to God is the ONLY WAY.
And that might sound silly to the secular but it shouldn't to those who are truly Spiritual. Because we know that obeying God's voice by way of Holy Biblical inspiration is how we'll progressively push back the greed, the injustice; take care of the fatherless (widows and orphans), those truly in need; we'll halt evil spending and ultimately rely on our God who upholds all things by His power.
In 2 Timothy 2:12 we read:
"...If we deny Him, He also will deny us..."
Also... verse 19...
"Nevertheless the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, "THE LORD KNOWS THOSE WHO ARE HIS", and "EVERYONE WHO NAMES THE NAME OF THE LORD is to DEPART FROM WICKEDNESS.""
Our cities are being over-run by illegal immigrants who we can't take care of; infiltration of the most dangerous and addictive drugs; illegal guns that fall into the hands of our children and gangs; increased homelessness; holes within our legal system allowing criminals back on the streets to rob, steal and kill, etc...
Is it not more than apparent that something else is in control of our decaying nation? How could we have descended so quickly? Do we see how quickly the unraveling of a society happens?
Our nation is incarcerating its political enemies and criminalizing free speech ... Our freedoms are deteriorating.
When judgment comes, it comes swift and fast!
It's because we've lost contact with our God. Our laws once reflected that we had "contact" with God but today, we make every single excuse to shy away from that contact, and deny the very God who "bought us"... by our idolatrous distractions.
We're in the process of being spewed from the land just as those who were here before us... and Biblical history shows that God is the same "today, tomorrow, and forever more". Why would we forget that?
We haven't taught our children to behold and fear God.
We haven't been holy examples of true God worshippers at home.
Our priests, teachers and shepherds who were in the position to dictate The Word of God in the public square confused God's message in the pulpits.
We started to worship the gift rather than the gift Giver.
BUT The Lord Himself showed us the way to return!
Will we heed His voice even now? "My sheep hear my voice."
“Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, each according to his way,” declares Lord Yahweh. “Turn back and turn away from all your transgressions, so that iniquity may not become a stumbling block to you. Cast away from yourselves all your transgressions which you have committed and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! Now why will you die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies,” declares Lord Yahweh. “Therefore, turn back and live.”
-- Ezekiel 18:30-32
Have you ever wondered, "Where the USA is in Biblical prophesy?
I've always come to the conclusion that the US will either be part of the nations which will align with the NWO globalist confederation described in the book of Revelation or the USA could be "BABYLON THE GREAT" itself. Or worse yet, ....
The USA as a nation, might have already been destroyed and scattered abroad; picked apart by other nation/s.
Scary to think of, yes.
But then you must remember that just as Christ said, "My Kingdom is not of this world.".... He meant this about Him as well as His subjects.
It was only about a year ago that HB1557 was passed in Florida barring the government schools from speaking on LGBTQ issues in early elementary schools. Now the Miami Dade County is stopping a proposal making October LGBTQ History Month.
They voted no mainly on the grounds of last years HB1557 which specifically protected children from introducing sexuality in the school system. The proposal to make October "LGBTQ History Month" would have most likely created loopholes against HB1557 which is now law in Florida.
We've seen violation of parental rights issues happen in other states and this is indeed the way to prevent those issues.
But they'll keep trying under the guise of "protecting" LGBTQ identified people from abuse. The truth is that all people need protection and isolating those that need to be protected into sub-groups just brings more attention to individual differences rather than what makes us all equal as humans.
If at all possible, sound Biblical Churches need to step-up and provide more private educational options for our children so that more and more children will be taken out of the government school system. We're living in an increasingly hostile climate against the Christian worldview, and it's not going to get any better - any time soon.
The dam of immorality is breaking and flooding our states, and the only way to fix it is to protect the coming generation of Americans to be able to make the right decisions for the future of our nation.
How many of us have seen this viral video of a young woman getting attacked at a gym by some weirdo she encountered while she was working out. There's a lot wrong with this in addition to the crazy guy trying to rape her. The guy was later caught and he admitted he wanted to rape her.
I noticed that in the video, the dude didn't strike her one time it seemed. She did well in resisting and fighting back continually, and she tried to run from him as well as use her cell phone to call for help.
Again, the video went viral and everyone praised her for fighting back. She is a body builder not a fighter. She admitted in an interview that she didn't know what she was doing with regard to defending herself but regardless, she fought back. Good for her!
This could have gone A LOT worse.
The concern I have here is more about PREVENTION. In general, women need to be that much more aware about their physical well being than anyone else because attackers are more likely to be male, and men are often a lot physically stronger than women.
She being alone in the gym, should NOT have opened up to him or in the least, LEFT, as soon as he walked in and observed for her safety.
The media put a lot of attention on her "fighting back" but once in that situation, with nowhere to run, that's all a anyone CAN DO.
A woman or anyone who feels that they might be in a vulnerable situation must carry something to strike with - mace, a stick, etc. The first thing a person must consider is which way to run If something were to go down.
Escaping should be the FIRST line of defense AFTER PREVENTION.
-Be weary of being in public spaces alone.
-Always carry mace or have something near you which can be used as an effective striking weapon.
-Always let people (family, friends, etc.) know where you're going and what you'll be doing if you can't have someone with you at all times.
-Take up a practical and effective martial art for self defense in STRIKING AND GRAPPLING AS WELL AS HOW TO USE WEAPONS.
-Consider dressing down and less flashy or less provocative in public spaces especially after dark, and in certain locations, neighborhoods, etc.
