This is Coming

One should note that the figure of Jesus in Islam is quite
controversial. Although he is a type of messiah (according to the Qur’an),
he is usually not given exclusive messianic powers, as his presence during
the messianic future would highlight his actual Qur’anic function as the
bearer of the revelation immediately prior to that of Muhammad. Were he
to assume exclusive messianic powers, that would detract from the
finality of Muhammad’s revelation. For this reason he is specifically saidto defer to the primacy of the Mahdi (or Muslim messianic figure), who
can be a descendent of Muhammad, and will attack Christian symbols
such as the cross, and kill swine, as well as affirming his complete
identification with Islam as opposed to Chri

Isaiah 55

New Living TranslationInvitation to the LORD’s Salvation
1“Is anyone thirsty?

Come and drink—

even if you have no money!

Come, take your choice of wine or milk—

it’s all free!

2Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength?

Why pay for food that does you no good?

Listen to me, and you will eat what is good.

You will enjoy the finest food.

3“Come to me with your ears wide open.

Listen, and you will find life.

I will make an everlasting covenant with you.

I will give you all the unfailing love I promised to David.

4See how I used him to display my power among the peoples.

I made him a leader among the nations.

5You also will command nations you do not know,

and peoples unknown to you will come running to obey,

because I, the LORD your God,

the Holy One of Israel, have made you glorious.”

6Seek the LORD while you can find him.

Call on him now while he is near.

7Let the wicked change their ways

and banish the very thought of doing wrong.

Let them turn to the LORD that he may have mercy on them.

Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously.8“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the LORD.

“And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.

9For just as the heavens are higher than the earth,

so my ways are higher than your ways

and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.

10“The rain and snow come down from the heavens

and stay on the ground to water the earth.

They cause the grain to grow,

producing seed for the farmer

and bread for the hungry.

11It is the same with my word.

I send it out, and it always produces fruit.

It will accomplish all I want it to,

and it will prosper everywhere I send it.

12You will live in joy and peace.

The mountains and hills will burst into song,

and the trees of the field will clap their hands!

13Where once there were thorns, cypress trees will grow.

Where nettles grew, myrtles will sprout up.

These events will bring great honor to the LORD’s name;

Some of us Feel Bad, this Christmas!

A Proposition

Life Project Blog

I have a proposition for you to think about today.  In this case, my proposition is in the form of a thought, one that I believe to be correct; one that could be very significant both for each of us and for the entire Body of Christ.  The proposition is:

We can only disciple other people through the overflowing of our own discipleship.

What I mean by this is that we can only share what we have an abundance of ourselves.  For us to disciple others is to share what we have in our own relationships with Jesus Christ.  If we don’t have much blessing from Him, with what can we bless others?

Thus, if my proposition is correct, and I am convinced that it is, then we must have a full and overflowing relationship with Christ before we can help others to have a full and overflowing relationship with…

How Satan Uses People to Set Traps for You!

The Agapegeek Blog

(ver 1.3) A trap is the hidden trick of an enemy to take you captive or prisoner. To trap wild animals, some have used a spring like device that usually has a concealed danger with an enticing lure or some type of tempting bait.  Many times people would dig a big hole in the ground and cover it with branches and leaves so that others do not recognize the pit fall dangers as they travel in that area. People have walked down this path being unfamiliar with the danger and many have fallen into it and were caught. Whether you realize it or not, you are walking down a figurative trail in life and Satan has placed many concealed traps in your path in order to take you captive. We must learn to recognize these potential traps.  In order to do this I believe that we need to become familiar…
