Martyrdom, Missions & the Maturity of the Church / “He has been enough.”

I want to keep everyone up to speed on Dalton Thomas’ forthcoming book, Martyrdom, Missions and the Maturity of the Church.

Someone was speaking my language and articulating the message that (1) the majority of […]

Islam and Women

One of the questions I am frequently asked, is why so many Western women convert to Islam. Many outside observers wonder what women see in a religion that actually sanctions men to treat them as children, servants, slaves, or worse. The answer to the question of course is somewhat complicated, most often involving a confusion […]

A second-generation Muslim immigrant in Austria has authored a provocative new book in which he argues that Europe’s future is Turkish, whether Europeans like it or not.  The book’s short, sharp and confrontational title says it all: “We are Coming.”  The thesis is: “Regardless of whether or not you [Europeans] like us [Turks], whether or […]

Standing Firm For Israel

Despite being well aware of just how much potential for evil the human heart holds, I still sometimes find myself scratching my head at times when I ponder just how much some folks allow hatred to overwhelm them. I suppose it was always there, but the Internet certainly provides an excellent opportunity for some folks […]

New Bible Yanks “Father,” Jesus as “Son of God”

After all, we’ve seen the “In da beginnin’ Big Daddy created da heaven an’ da earth” Ebonics Bible, as well as the “Apostle’s Log” Star Trek English paraphrase Bible. In a more serious […]

Looking Back…

“The question for now is whether the transition to a new Egyptian government can take place peacefully or if it will result in a type of civil war and massive bloodshed. Either way, in the short term, the Brotherhood, the ideological child of Sayyid Qutb and Hassan Al-Banna, will be the biggest winner. After the […]
