Too many American Christians ignore Muslims here
Muslims from across the world have moved to America for work or school yet they are often ignored by those around them—even Christians.
In an interview on Voice of the Martyrs Radio, Fouad Masri, president of the Crescent Project, says our job as believers is not to convert anyone, but to shine the light of Jesus and rely on God to draw our Muslim friends to Himself.
MASRI: “We wanted to focus on Muslims because people ignore them. And it’s sad. You meet Muslims who have lived in this country and they will tell you, ‘I have no Christian friends.’ And it’s shocking.
“Why don’t you have Christian friends?’ We can be their friends. They don’t have to become believers. We can just be friends, and, I don’t know, go have hummus together, kabobs or something.”
Masri has written a book entitled Sharing Jesus with Muslims: A Step-by-Step Guide.
1 Peter 2:9 says, “You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”
Deadly Mississippi storm kills 24 people
A deadly tornado and strong thunderstorms swept across Mississippi at 8:50pm Friday, killing at least 24 people, injuring dozens, and leaving a trail of destruction for more than 100 miles, reports ABC News.
Debris was reported to be lofted more than 20,000 feet in the air as the tornado began ripping through the Sharkey and Humphreys counties.
Republican Governor Tate Reeves tweeted, “Many in the Mississippi Delta need your prayer and God’s protection tonight. We have activated medical support—surging more ambulances and other emergency assets for those affected. Search and rescue is active.”
Edgar O’Neal, a storm chaser who was on the ground in Rolling Fork, Mississippi, described what he saw.
O’NEAL: “In complete and utter devastation houses gone the gas stations destroyed trees power lines blocking entrances everywhere stray animals people wandering the street clearly in shock we saw a lot of first responders as well.”
AZ Supreme Court reconsiders Kari Lake’s ballot signature claims
In last November’s Arizona election for governor, Democrat Katie Hobbs defeated Kari Lake by 17,117 votes, 50.3% to 49.6%.
Lake, who has defined herself as closely aligned with former President Donald Trump, contends that Hobbs won through vote fraud. For months, Lahe has insisted she will overturn the election and ultimately be installed as the true governor of the Grand Canyon State.
Last Wednesday, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that the appellate court erred in dismissing Lake’s vote count concerning the signature verification process, reports LifeSiteNews.com.
Larry Elder teases 2024 GOP presidential run
Conservative black commentator Larry Elder is teasing a potential 2024 presidential run as he looks to capitalize on the attention he garnered as the leading Republican challenger in California Governor Gavin Newsom‘s 2021 recall election, reports The Christian Post.
Although Elder was unsuccessful in his efforts, the popularity of his gubernatorial campaign gave him national attention.
At the Black Conservative Summit in Chicago, Illinois, Larry Elder said, “I think Larry Elder brings a couple of things to the table that the others don’t. Most notably is an ability to refute effectively the lie that America is systemically racist. It is a lie that Democrats push because they want black people to think of themselves as victims. …
“The second thing I think I bring to the table is the recognition that the #1 social problem facing the country is a large number of children in America who entered the world without a father in the home married to the mother.”
Isaiah 1:17 says, “Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless.”
Elder bemoaned the welfare state.
He said, “Lyndon Johnson launched the so-called ‘War on Poverty‘ in the mid-’60s. Since then, we’ve spent over $20 trillion dollars, and what we’ve done is we’ve incentivized women to marry the government, and we’ve incentivized men to abandon their financial and moral responsibility. Our side — meaning the conservative side, Republican side — does not talk enough about that. I intend to.”
Leftists want to redefine clinical death to enable live organ harvesting
And finally, you’ve probably never heard of the Uniform Determination of Death Act, a 1981 model state law defining clinical death.
It states, “An individual who has sustained either (1) irreversible cessation of circulatory and respiratory functions, or (2) irreversible cessation of all functions of the entire brain, including the brain stem, is dead.”
According to Dr. Heidi Klessig, a retired Christian anesthesiologist and pain management specialist with the group Respect for Human Life, Leftists now want to make two major and disturbing changes, reports the Heartland Daily News.
First, they want to change the word “irreversible” to “permanent,” and second, change the description of “entire brain” to “brain stem.”
She wrote, “Irreversible is commonly held to mean ‘not capable of being reversed.’ The term permanent is being offered as meaning that ‘no attempt will be made to reverse the situation.’ So, because doctors are not going to attempt to correct the patient’s problem, it now becomes ‘permanent.’”
And Dr. Klessig notes that defining clinical death by narrowing the criteria to loss of brain stem function makes it easier to declare someone dead. In other words, comatose people could be declared legally dead.
Live organ harvesting is one reason prompting this revision of the definition of death.
