Praise Jesus!!

I pray that millions more leave the "religion of peace" for "peace that passes understanding".

This is so wonderful. I heard this on Breakpoint yesterday, went home, downloaded the podcast via iTunes, then printed out the hardcopy from Breakpoint’s website. I intend to pass it out.

It is good news to hear that there is an apparent growing hunger for Christ from some in the muslim world. God won’t let any of His children, wherever they live, be taken away from Him. God is patient, to be sure.

These are all very brave people indeed. They have incredible courage. I hope we all pray for their safety.

What the Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us about conversion.

1427 Jesus calls to conversion. This call is an essential part of the proclamation of the kingdom: "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel." In the Church's preaching this call is addressed first to those who do not yet know Christ and his Gospel. Also, Baptism is the principal place for the first and fundamental conversion. It is by faith in the Gospel and by Baptism that one renounces evil and gains salvation, that is, the forgiveness of all sins and the gift of new life.

Apostasy(leaving Islam) is punishable by death.

Mohammed said, "Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him." Quran; Surah Vol. 9:57

Islam has a strong base... ACT LIKE YOU BELIEVE IT OR DIE!...

What’s the old religious phrase? I’ll try to recall it: “When you discover that Jesus is all you have left, you discover that Jesus is all you need.” Cannot remember the author.

This is a great post and that Joel Rosenberg writes some mighty good novels. I’m reading one right now!

There are plenty of liberal Christians who are more than happy to see Muslims stay within Islam.

Sad.

But the truly sad thing is that Satan is doing a great work here in the US, where he is encouraging millions of American blacks and a few whites to convert to Islam, though they have the evidence of Christ all around them.

Corrected post

While it would be nice if there was a conversion of muslims.....I think Colson and many of you are a bit giddy and overly optimistic....I just don’t see busloads of muzzies showing up for conversion and communion.

And the Quran teaches us it is permissible to lie to the infidel in Allah’s cause.

These are not converts. These are infiltrators.

True, but you don't see it among non-muzzies either. Jesus said, "Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." (Matt 7:14)

Nevertheless, the salvation of even one soul is worth celebrating.

You may not be seeing it, but it's happening where you are not. I suggest reading Rosenberg's "Epicenter" for the details. This article gives a gloss of the chapter.

One of the points he makes is that after a failed large-scale attack by the Iranian/Hizbullah/Ezekiel 38-39 coalition on Israel many Muslims will become Christians. They will convert because a large component of their faith is defeating the Jews/Israel. That failure will shake them to their core and see Islam for what it is: a failed religion.

Read the book.
