Christ Called Me Off the Minaret
Through investigations, dreams, and visions, Jesus asked me to forsake my Muslim family.
Nabeel Qureshi

Nabeel Qureshi is an itinerant speaker with Ravi Zacharias International Ministries and author of Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus: A Devout Muslim's Journey to Christ (Zondervan).

I think this article has some great lessons for us 
1) his friend kept up the friendship even as his faith was being ridiculed by Nabeel
2) He answered the questions he could, investigated questions he didn't have a response to and spent time with Nabeel.
3) his Christian friend asked him to be as hard on the Islamic faith as he was on the Christian faith

Check out this article.  Researcher proves that Christian missions spreads representative democracy and the associated freedoms
The Surprising Discovery About Those Colonialist, Proselytizing Missionaries 

They didn’t set out to change history. But one modern scholar’s research shows they did just that.

Andrea Palpant Dilley 
"The work of missionaries like Mackenzie turns out to be the single largest factor in ensuring the health of nations."

"In essence, Woodberry was digging into one of the great enigmas of modern history: why some nations develop stable representative democracies—in which citizens enjoy the rights to vote, speak, and assemble freely—while neighboring countries suffer authoritarian rulers and internal conflict. Public health and economic growth can also differ dramatically from one country to another, even among countries that share similar geography, cultural background, and natural resources."

Update: Latest school shooting in Colorado   'His intent was evil': Colorado high school gunman intended to shoot numerous people, sheriff says By Daniella Silva, NBC News He shot Claire Esther Davis , 17, who just happened to be sitting nearby with a friend as he headed toward the library. The girl suffered severe head trauma and remains in critical condition at Littleton Adventist Hospital.   "Our beautiful daughter Claire Davis has severe head trauma as a result of a gunshot. She needs your continued prayers," the family statement read.  Note:  The lone gunman killed himself after shooting Claire though clearly armed to do much more.  Thanks to the actions of an officer, the results were far less than the carnage he apparently wished to unleash.  Please join me in praying for Claire and all those impacted by this act of violence. image location Join me in praying for the families of Newtown who will experience their second Christma...

Rob Bell's Love Wins: Chapter Four: Does God Get What He Wants?

Before I start, I want to make clear something from an earlier blogpost. I wrote of future events from a premillennial, dispensational perspective. By no means am I implying that is the only orthodox position. I will leave it to others who comment to give other orthodox perspectives, if they wish. My issue with Bell is not orthodoxy but what I view as error and obviously many godly, conservative Christian scholars agree with that assessment. Our differences over orthodox doctrine are within the family. We believe that Bell’s is outside of orthodoxy. The title of chapter four reveals the depth of Rob Bell’s misunderstanding. God would love for everyone to come to a knowledge of the truth and be saved by faith in Jesus. However, even as Bell acknowledges, a loving God will not force anyone. Therefore, He provided the natural revelation of who He is and special revelation through the transmission of the Bible, visions, dreams, miracles and ultimately and most spectacularly t...

Love Wins by Rob Bell: My Thoughts on Chapter 3, “Hell” (49% of the Kindle version completed)

Note: the numbering system is from the Kindle version of the book. If you don’t have a Kindle for PC version, the numbers are probably useless to you. The chapters are clearly marked and as best as possible, I try to answer his arguments in the order they are presented. According to Matthew 25:41, Hell is a place prepared for the Devil and his angels. The reason is that they rebelled against God. In v. 41, we are told that the “cursed” will be separated from God by being cast into everlasting fire. The greater context of this verse begins in v. 31. It is not a parable Jesus told (story using earthly objects to explain spiritual truth). Instead, it is truth about His coming. When He comes, with His holy angels, we call this the Second Coming of Christ, He will sit on His throne and judge the nations. From other passages we learn that, before the return of Jesus, the Church will be taken away by Him in the clouds (1 Thess. 4:13-18) since God is about to judge the Earth...
