@theUrbanArab Have really appreciated your thoughts during this time. Are there any Arab Christian authors you’d recommend for further study? Or leading voices?
We want the war horse.
Jesus rides a donkey.
We want the eagle.
The Holy Spirit descends as a dove.
We want to take up swords.
Jesus takes up a cross.
We want the roaring lion.
God comes as a slaughtered lamb.
We keep trying to arm God.
God keeps trying to disarm us.
My friend @DavidSherwood33 just said, “We can harm people by saying true things.” Jesus said, “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now” (Jn 16:12). Truth must be communicated as people can bear it and with an attitude that mirrors the truth with love.
You should search the Bible;
for it tells you of Jesus.
As you read the Bible,
you will see the matchless charms of Jesus.
You will fall in love
with the Man of Calvary
– EGW
Wait, right now?👇🏽
“We may confess our sins, and right there, while asking, know that He pardons our transgressions, because He has promised to forgive”~EGW
Of all prayer requests, this one can be answered NOW...why? Because actions needed to fulfill it, took place 2000 yrs ago
“Jesus was the Prince of Peace. He came into the world to bring resistance and authority into subjection to himself. Wisdom and strength he could command, but the means he employed with which to overcome evil were the wisdom and strength of love” - EGW
Following Christ’s method for proclaiming His gospel leaves no time for criticism of others. Those who constantly criticize are just bystanders and not practitioners of the gospel.
The Lord’s return does not revolve around speculations about dates but around God’s own purposes, and those purposes embrace the salvation of the world. The surest route to the Second Coming is the evangelization of the world.
~ John B. Polhill (paraphrased)
Let’s say you decide to hold outdoor worship services in your back yard every night from 7PM-9PM. You have a live band and a great sound system. There’s a good turnout for the first week, and you feel renewed and invigorated by the worship.
