Stand Up for the Truth

We understand that the world cannot see the truth of who Christ is without the spiritual eyes to discern. You and I were there at one time, before we had the spiritual eyes to know Truth. John 14:17 says, “He is the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor [...]

  Elijah Abraham, a member of Biblical Missiology and Living Oasis Ministry (and frequent guest on our program), sent along this news today. He has been very involved in keeping extreme contextualization out of Muslim outreach ministries, and has publicly challenged many organizations that have been involved in the Insider Movements, CAMEL, Jesus in the [...]

I am fascinated when I compare the first century Christian church with what we see in America these days. As any organization grows from a small to a larger institution there is what experts refer to as “missional drift” that can occur. “Missional drift” refers to how when an organization grows, it often loses focus [...]

In Hebrews we are taught that without faith it is impossible to please God.  Faith is what the Christian life is all about—we worship a God we cannot see, and believe in faith that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died and rose from the dead.  We have no empirical truth that these facts are [...]

Think you know Islam? It is the second largest religion in the world, only surpassed by Christianity. Islam was “born” from the writings of Mohammed, who claimed he received additional teachings from the angel Gabriel. Islam considers the writings of Judaism and Christianity “completed” by the Qur’an, the sacred book of Islam. Our guest today [...]

Christians who witness to people all over the world want to bring the Truth of God’s Word to those who do not know Him.  We know that Christians are being persecuted in the Middle East, and we know–but perhaps don’t fully understand–the true cost of following Christ and leaving other religions such as Islam. As [...]

Here is a question: Should biblical translators take the words Father and Son out of the Bible in order to better reach the Muslim world with the “truth” of the Gospel? Or are these translations failing to portray God as who He is: the eternal, loving God the Father, Son and Spirit, with the deity [...]

Western missions agencies Wycliffe, Frontiers and SIL are producing Bibles that remove Father, Son andSon of God because these terms are offensive to Muslims.Some examples: • Wycliffe/SIL produced Stories of the Prophets, an Arabic Bible that uses “Lord” instead of “Father” and “Messiah” instead of “Son.” • Frontiers worked with an SIL consultant to produce True Meaning of the Gospel of [...]

Watching events unfold in the Middle East always brings me mixed emotions. Christians have a mandate to defend Israel and the Jews according to the bible. In John 4:22 Jesus declares that salvation is from the Jews. As God’s chosen people, the Jews were the people God chose to deliver His Holy Word and bring [...]

When someone would say “I am a Christian” it used to be that it was pretty clear what they stood for.  These days that statement should cause us to dig a little deeper and question just what a person means when they make that statement. Being a “Christian” these days can range from a strict [...]
