Mia Schem, a freed Israeli hostage who was snatched by Hamas on October 7th and taken into Gaza, reveals both her horrifying experience in captivity and what the people in Gaza are truly like. Mia was forced into a pitch black room for 54 days where she did not see sunlight one time. A veterinarian operated surgery on her arm after getting shot at gunpoint. Some days she was not given food and throughout her 2 months she did not shower once. Mia suffered, “A Holocaust.”

Preaching and witnessing are much the same. Every Christian is called to spread the Gospel. Current events often color the picture, however, when it comes to presenting the Gospel with good effect. Such things must be taken into account, the truth boldly told, and the Gospel presented in the light of the day. This may require great effort, much effective prayer, and the touch of the Holy Spirit on the bearer of the Good News and the prospective convert.

How would you present the Gospel Message to an Israeli? How would you present the Gospel Message to a Gazan Muslim? Those two questions should sum up our first reflective thoughts about these victims after listening to the video, because being unsaved IS being a victim, and IS often being a victimizer. Think about it!

And, on the other hand, bearing in mind that Israel was told to completely wipe out past cultures, every person, every man, woman and child, due to their evil… At what point is witnessing to an evil and murderous culture a waste of time? When do we shake the dust off our sandals and move on? When is enough, enough?

The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States , especially in the minority races.

Last month I attended a training. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who each explained their beliefs.

I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Muslim gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.

After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Muslim and asked:

‘Please, correct me if I’m wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that’s the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?’

There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, ” Nonbelievers”

I responded, ‘So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?’

The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.’

He sheepishly replied, ‘Yes.’

I then stated, ‘Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine The Pope commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!’

The Muslim was speechless.

I continued, ‘I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question:

Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?’

You could have heard a pin drop.

Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the ‘Diversification’ training seminar were not happy with my way of dealing with the Islamic Imam, and exposing the truth about the Muslims’ beliefs.

In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the US. to elect the President.

I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on! This is your chance to make a difference.
