Had Iran not been in the headline, I would have thought this was an article about the ACLU or PFAW.
BUMP!
Kool story.
Amen - and thanks for reminding us.
“the government knows what you are doing, and we will come for you soon.”
This, and the euroscum continue to carp that Bush is a danger to world peace.
Welcome!
Thanks for a gracious reply! I appreciate your irenic spirit. BTW -- each of the items in that tagline has been affected by my moving over to the post-mil camp. I backed reluctantly into the Reformed camp upon discovering that they'd cornered the market on Christian world-view thinking and writing. I learned that only the post-mil brand of Calvinist had enough confidence in his God and his future to think seriously about the Biblical solutions to real-world problems. Confidence in God and the future also undergirds home schooling. (Family + God) > (School - God). I entered into my vocation as a technical writer upon learning the eternal significance of every vocation, as a means for glorifying God. Not just the "evangelistic" callings of "preacher, singer, or jock." Finally, my wife became far happier as the frustration level receded in my life. Then, I took to heart the admonitions of movement writers that a Christian husband has the obligation to adorn his wife to the best of his ability. After all, that's how Jesus treats His bride, the church! Forget stinginess masquerading as "voluntary simplicity." Vicky was stunned the night I said, "Honey, we need to buy you some new clothes!"
I started embracing post-mil eschatology in 1980. This link provides a glimpse of what this transformation has meant for my family.
I pray you may have the joy of seeing your children walking in truth. I can't think of anything on earth that compares to that, in terms of ultimate importance.
You're kidding, right? They ALREADY DO side with Islamists! Why do you think they so desperately want the US out of Iraq? Can you name ONE secularist that's supportive of the war?
Thank you for this post. My prayers are with the Iranian people as they confront forces of darkness in witnessing for a God of Love. May hearts be transformed and a way through be found.
Glory, glory hallelujah, His Truth is marching on.
Iran is a 'balkanized' country. Persians are only about 51% therabouts. it has the largest Jewish populaiton in the middle east out side fo Israel. Cristians are more prominate in some areas, although they cannot hold office are be in goverment by law. This guy will destroy the revolution. Nothing like a heavy hand to break things up!
Most of the time, I hear, when a muslim converts to Christianity, it's because of a supernatural encounter with the Jesus of the Bible. So, my approach is, befriend 'em and pray for 'em.

I agree. Good post!
In the West, not overtly, militarily or formally. They do it in a Back-Handed, Can't-We-All-Get-Along, It's-Just-Their-Beliefs, Stop-Telling-Them-What-To-Do, sort of way ... We see directly through this and are able to separate words from deeds and determine intent from actions. Yes, they all side with the Islamists but few admit it or for that matter pro-actively engage in combat. The butchery has not engulfed the world by matter of state, However, Satan is on the move ...
The Albanian Catholics are safe in Kosovo — to the extent that they aren't entangled in some feud. And there are now 50 % more Albanian Catholics in Kosovo than there are Serb "Orthodox Christians" — 9 percent of the population against 6 percent..
Only the so-called "Orthodox" in the Balkans, who confuse nationality with religion as a legacy of the Ottoman millet system, view the Albanians' national struggle in Kosovo as a "religious" issue.
For the Albanians, it is a national one. As Vuk Stefanovic Karadzic noted in 1849, the Albanian nation is united regardless of religion. And they have a pretty cool attitude towards religion:
there is a ''Christian-democratic party'' in Kosovo, led by Dr Mark Krasniqi, with a majority of Muslims as members — they simply don't care — some jihadists!
On the other hand, there is not a majority of Muslims in Dr Vladan Batic's Christian-democratic party of Serbia.
