The elections

Just got off the radio here in Toledo, Ohio today speaking about the Obama /Muslim connection. Had a great time. Senator Obama is here in Toledo so it seemed timely. Hopefully some were listening.

We are on another radio program next week, we are hoping to have Dr. Clifford Hill with us by phone about the Muslim agenda and the part Senator Obama is playing either through naivety or by design.

Today I spoke about what is happening in the UK and the failure of the church to give a strong biblical lead resulting in the Islamists pushing their agenda of global takeover. I read a couple excerpts from a "Newsweek" article we picked up in the British Oct. 6 edition.

The article says that after his trip to Pakistan with his college room mate, Mohammed Hasan Chandoo, the now Senator Obama, became more acutely aware of the diversity and tensions within the Muslim world. "Both as a consequence of living in Indonesia and traveling in Pakistan... I was very clear about the history of Shia-Sunni antagonism".

Obama's confidence of his knowledge of the Muslim world is so great that he has proposed holding a global summit of Muslim leaders early in his presidency. "I think I can speak credibly to them about the fact that I respect their culture, that I understand their religion, that I have lived in a Muslim country, and as a consequence I know it is possible to reconcile Islam with modernity and respect for human rights and rejection of violence. I think I can speak with an added credibility."

I commented further on Obama's Muslim roots (as the son of a Muslim father, he was born a Muslim under Muslim law as it is universally understood), he says he has chosen to be a Christian, which is a crime in the eyes of Muslims, "ridda" or apostasy. Even today a law is being debated in the Iranian Parliament that would execute anyone who leaves the Muslim faith.

As an apostate, why does he think he would be listened to?

I didn't have time to raise further questions such as, "If he is an apostate, why would so many radical groups endorse him? Hamas, April 16, 2008 "He has a vision to change America"; Fidel Castro, "He is the most advanced candidate"; Mahmoud Ahmedinejah to Spain's El Pais newspaper, He didn't believe Obama would be elected, but that "He wouldn't have a problem meeting with him if he were." Louis Farrakhan: ""When Obama talks, the Messiah is absolutely speaking..."

I stressed the need for prayer and thoughtful consideration of who we are voting for in light of this information. I stressed the urgency of reaching the Muslims for Christ in our communities as God loves them and brought them here to introduce them to Jesus. I commented on our failure to reach these Muslim leaders with the Gospel, many of them trained in western universities, while they were here.

So we are trying to move with the Holy Spirit as He is opening doors!

Thanks for praying!

Belfast N. Ireland

Today we visited the place we met in Corn Market, Belfast, N. Ireland. We took pictures we will post soon. It made me think of all the wonderful ways the Lord has blessed us through the years.

Ask Grandma

Our Grandchildren

We are blessed to have 3 beautiful Grandchildren. Today I called Lauren to ask how pre school was going and the first words to come out of her mouth were "How is Rachel doing?" How sweet and kind she is. The first thing uppermost in her mind was the well being of her aunt Rachel.

We are so proud of our children and their spouses, raising kind hearted children who love Jesus. Our prayer is that everyone reading this blog wil have the same experience in their families. If you have strayed from the path the Lord would have you walk on, get back on it. Bring joy to your parents and love to your children, most of all bring deep joy to Jesus who gave His life so we could have the greatest life of all.

Our grandson Reuben with Grandad!

Kyla is just over a week old!
