Dismantling misconceptions of the Arab Church By Bethann Flynn

highest levels since the attack. For the most part, Arab Christians in the Middle East have also felt forgotten by their brothers and sisters in the United States. Stories From the Arab World Kris Kuhlman is an American working with Program for Theological Education by Extensions (PTEE) in Jordan. She is using stories of her experiences to raise awareness of the Arab Church and chip away at some possible misperceptions of the culture in the Middle East. Earlier this year Kuhlman returned to U.S. soil and spent time traveling to various states, churches, small groups, and more to share about PTEE’s *work. Kuhlman notes she encountered misper-
ceptions about the Middle East, mostly relating to relationships. For example, specifically focusing on Jordan, Christians are a religious minority in the country. The term Christian often references a non-Muslim. It is a cultural classification people are born into, and it is marked on an individual’s identification card. “It’s not just your religious identity, but it’s your cultural and your family identity. It will determine where you go to school. It will determine maybe even who you marry, so many things about your life. But what the term Christian does not necessarily mean, in the Arab world, is that you are a follower of Jesus Christ,” Kuhlman explains.
(Screenshot obtained from Prayercast | Jordan) Spiritual Opportunities Cultural or nominal Christians tend to be less religious when compared to the majority religion of Islam. However, Evangelical Christians, Christians who believe in the triune God and follow Jesus, are less than one percent of the population. This is why Kuhlman tells people she meets that she loves God. But, she makes it clear she is a follower of Christ. These facts separate Kuhlman from the majority religion and the nominal Christian stereotypes.
Plus, Kuhlman’s Christian beliefs open opportunities for her to have deep spiritual conversations with her Muslim friends. However, since Evangelicals in the country barely represent a fraction of the population, the Christian community needs the support of their Western brothers and sisters. But first, this requires the Church in the West to realize the Arab Church exists. Remember the Church in Jordan A hope? That as American Christians become more educated
The mother, who spoke to A Current Affair on the condition of anonymity, explained, “I heard the word she said – she forgives me, she loves me, no matter who I am.” Those words were enough to overcome 14 years of silence and guilt. She said, “That’s what made me stand up and say, ‘okay, you’re my baby, I’m your mum.’” Australian news outlets have agreed to respect the mother’s desire to
conceal her identity in order to share her side of the story, and what she has to say reveals the need for greater resources for mothers in crisis pregnancies. The woman says that she realized she was unexpectedly pregnant shortly after moving to Australia at the age of 18. She hid the pregnancy from her family and did not know what to do. When she went into labor, the scared teenage
14 Years After She Was Abandoned as a Newborn, Teen Meets and Forgives Her Mother By: www.lifenews.com In Australia, 14-yearold Jessica Boatwright has been on a mission to find her biological mother. A Current Affair reports that the teen was adopted into a loving family as a baby but has been on a search to find answers to the mystery surrounding how she came to them. In April, Boatright made a public appeal to her biological mother, asking her to come forward and begging her to come out
of hiding. Security footage from a Liverpool hospital shows the night in 2005 when an unidentified woman entered the emergency department cradling a newborn. Later that night, she disappeared, leaving her daughter behind. Despite extensive efforts at the time, authorities were unable to locate the mother and she was too afraid to come forward until she heard the words of her daughter.

She told an interviewer, “Jessica even not crying, nothing at all, she’s just quiet and I put her in the bed, cover in a blanket and just keep her warm and just hug her, sit there and hug her and look at her,” she said. Seeing her newborn daughter, she recognized the preciousness of her life. Although she still did not know what to do, she knew she needed to protect her and find care for her vulnerable baby. She said at the time, “I’m thinking, ‘she’s just so beautiful’. She’s just a gift to give to me.’ In another way, I don’t know what to do.” The young mother snuck out of her family’s home after everyone else was asleep and brought her daughter to the hospital, where she made her fateful decision.

The
Spirit Of
Truth
Dear Reverend:
I have a vision and calling from the Lord which is a constant, ongoing impression. Holy Spirit does not let me rest. Every time I get into my comfort zone, I feel more impressed. People don’t understand why I feel impelled to go forward. The difficulty is that others see me remaining in the role that I am now in and come to depend on the fulfillment of such. People sometimes have a tendency to see others in the same light.
any ntez Duff o M e n li ade By Rev. M
At times it’s just easier to do nothing, but this makes me unhappy. How do I keep an even keel in my personal life, yet follow Holy Spirit? Boat ----Dear Boat: Now, you are talking about a ‘smooth-sailing’ experience! That does not usually happen, because things around you will try to hamper your vision. This is when you really need to trust God and make certain you are
hearing from Him, which I believe you are. Jesus Christ gave us this Great Commission, and He will not be denied. You are not called to be captive under anyone or to feel intimidated by others. Have you read Ezekiel chapters two and three? He was among the Jewish captives when he personally saw visions of God! He was given a commission. The Word of the Lord came expressly to Ezekiel, and the Lord’s hand was upon him (chapter 1:1-3). God sent him to speak to
the rebellious people and to tell them of their erroneous ways. Do you think that God still speaks to us now, in the same way? Yes, He certainly does! Be gentle and kind to those around you. They may not understand, or they may have their own visions from God. Obey God in an appropriate way. If you have been faithful, your pastor will understand and encourage you, if you have asked for prayer and expressed your visions to him. Don’t ever be satisfied in remaining dormant and comfortable. We have to have an adventurous spirit, willing to obey God! Keep sailing! This is God’s Truth! Rev. MMD

Several days ago, while cleaning my office area, I pulled out the binder that contains all of the articles I have written over the last four years. I keep all copies in a computer file but I’m still old fashioned enough to want to see words typed on paper. The first article I wrote was entitled Choices. It was focused on the decisions we can choose to make to be free from our prisons of hopelessness, bitterness, hurt, etc. that we have built around ourselves over the years. I realized that after we are free from these painful experiences, we must begin with a new journey of building a life making different kinds of choices. As our walls are going down, we now need to learn how to grow spiritually with hearts full of hope, peace, victory, and a new sense of joy. That has been the focus of many topics I shared over the years, how to recognize and tear down these walls of hurt with the goal to make right choices and to be able to live a joyful life. So today let’s take a look at joy and how it fits in your journey. First, we can’t confuse joy with happiness. Joy is not dictated by our circumstances. It is a part of the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Joy is defined as a calm in the midst of storm. It is how faith is developed and demonstrated because it’s a power that
helps us walk through every tough challenge with victory. Even though this seems like a powerful force, many of us today do not have much joy operating in our lives. We’ll listen to anointed worship music or read an inspiring book and soon after our joy starts to fade. Isaiah. 61:3 says that God will anoint us with the oil of joy and give us the garment of praise. I know that it’s not easy to break into praise when things aren’t fine, but it can be done. Make a choice to be joyful. Why? Because God will give us the victory. Let me give a personal example of how joy is seen in our lives. In 2002 Nick and I were serving as Elders of a congregation in Coastal Georgia. Nick was on staff as pastor and I was over the Inner Healing ministry. One evening we went with other elders and our praise team who was invited to provide praise and worship music for another local church hosting a special speaker. While the evening was in progress, 20 miles away our home caught fire and burned to the ground. Everything was lost, including our beloved dog. After the flurry of a congregation coming together to provide immediate needs like PJ’s, toothbrushes, and a warm bed at the Sr. Ministers home Nick and I looked at each oth-

Nick preached the night after the fire. Even weeks after the fire, many came up to us with love and support in many ways and they mentioned how we look to be at peace and able to function with a confidence in our God that they weren’t sure they could do themselves. Dear reader, that’s JOY in the midst of a storm. We have had other situations in our lives that we had to face but after the fire we learned that we could find in our deepest pain and disappointments what Joy taught us. It is to see the glory of God in everything and that we can have a peace and to be joyful even it what seems to be our darkest time. Again, real joy is not based on how we were created but it a gift from God that is described in Galatians 5:22. If you love others as Jesus loved, you will have His joy in anything you face and be able to live in peace no matter how you were created. Remember it is a choice, your choice. The joy of the Lord is your strength. Blessings and Love Louise Alleva, D.Min, CTC, LCPC

University profs threaten Chick-Fil-A because...
By Mc Am Int y yre
University of Kansas (KU) faculty and staff this week denounced the school’s relationship with Chick-fil-A and called for a boycott of the restaurant, reports The Hill. “KU granted Chick-fil-A, a bastion of bigotry, a prime retail location in the heart of our campus,” the university’s Sexuality & Gender Diversity Faculty and Staff Council wrote in a letter to the school’s chancellor and other university leaders. “Moving Chick-fil-A to the Union and granting it a role at the start of all home football games violates the feelings of safety and inclusion that so many of us have striven to create, foster, and protect on campus, and sends a message that the Union, KU Athletics,
and the administration at large are more concerned about money and corporate sponsorship than the physical, emotional, and mental well being of marginalized and LGBTQ people,” they added. The University of Kansas this year moved the restaurant chain’s location from a basement to a prominent spot in the student union, according to Kansas City Star. The school also negotiated a deal for a Chick-fil-A Coin Toss” at the start of every home football game. The restaurant chain has been a target of protesters in various parts of the U.S. for its connection to [Chris tian youth] groups. The KU council highlighted Chick-fil-A’s

Watch! Dr. Chaps’ interview with Walt Heyer, former Transgender saved by Jesus--> The brief reads that Shupe, “Publicly acknowledging that he is male and that his sex changes were a legal fiction has led to Mr. Shupe being shamed by the LGBTQ community for
his beliefs that sex is binary and that those who struggle with gender identity issues need therapy and compassion, not to identify as a third gender.” An amicus brief also says, “Affirming the dysphoria in people suffering from gender identity issues as if they really were persons of the opposite sex only serves to lead those that are suffering with such issues away from finding the serenity and wholeness of being at peace with their bodies and identities. Forcing employers to affirm the denial of reality is not required by Title VII and is more likely to cause harm than good.” [Dr. Chaps’ comment: Legal fiction. Forcing employers. That’s what Pelosi wants in federal law, shaming Christians who refuse to adopt transgender language.]

Trump’s VA Secretary restores Bibles, Christmas for Veterans
The Trump Admin’s Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie has reversed an Obama-era ban on Bibles, Christmas, and Crosses shared freely at hospitals. “The VA revised directives to permit religious literature, symbols, and displays at agency facilities following a string of incidents in recent years in which individual medical centers banned Christmas carols and a Christmas tree, chapels removed Bibles, and
chaplains faced restraints on religious expression,” reports Daily Signal. Generally, the VA had inconsistent policies across the country. Officials designed the changes to protect the religious freedom of veterans and their families. The new guidelines, which went into effect last month, referred to the recent Supreme Court ruling allowing a cross-shaped memorial to World War I dead to continue standing on

“Christian” Pastors Bless Abortion Clinic?!? Amelia Fulbright, from the Labyrinth Progressive Student Ministry. But this is not true. The Bible may not specifically mention the word “abortion,” but it clearly does condemn the life-destroying practice. Even in ancient times, babies in the womb were viewed as valuable, as is evident in Luke 1:41. Jesus placed great value on children when others in society did not in Matthew 19:14, and Proverbs 6:16-17 states that one of the things God hates most is the shedding of innocent blood. One of the ten commandments prohibits murder. Still, abortion advocacy groups are trying to convince the public that they can be Christian and Jewish and support the killing of unborn babies. One of these groups, Texas Freedom Network recently began a project called Just Texas that identifies churches, synagogues and other houses of worship that support abortion. So far, there are 17 on the list, according to the report. “All of the push against [abortion] is coming from people of faith,” Sonja Miller, who helps run the
project, told the news outlet. But this is not true either. The pro-life movement is diverse. The idea that every human life has value brings together people from all walks of life, including the non-religious. Miller then insisted that pro-life Christians are “not the majority,” just the “loudest, most dominant voice.” “So it’s absolutely essential that people of faith who fully affirm women accessing their own moral agency and making their own decisions step up and speak out affirming that,” she said. What they are really affirming is not women’s rights or freedoms. They are affirming and “blessing” abortion – the de struction of an innocent, unique living human being. True religion rejects violence and raises up the most vulnerable. It defends the defenseless and offers compassion to the suffering. This is what pro-life advocates, secular and religious, do every day for mothers and babies across the world. They offer struggling families true blessings by reassuring them that every life is valuable.
lifenews.com/2019/08/28 Editors Note: This is absurd that people who call themselves “Christians” would be so callous and cold hearted to condone murdering the innocent and voiceless. I am appalled at the audacity of these false prophets to show up and try to use the Name of the Lord and the Bible as justification for murder. You will answer to the Righteous One about this, I suggest you repent NOW before you face the author of Life.

Former Planned Parenthood Staffer: Selling Abortions “is the Whole Point of Their Organization” Monica Cline used to volunteer at Planned Parenthood and help oversee the Title X grants that it received in New Mexico and Texas. But she, like many former supporters, was not saddened to learn about President Donald Trump’s new Title X rule that defunded the abortion chain of about $60 million in taxpayer funds. Years ago, Cline realized that abortions were Planned Parenthood’s true agenda, not women’s health care. “I was very familiar with them, spent a lot of time with them over the years,” Cline told the Catholic News Agency. She used to work very closely with the abortion group as a Title X manager. Earlier this month, Planned Parenthood refused about $60 million from the grant program because of a new Trump administration rule that ensures tax dollars do not subsidize abortions. The rule prohibits recipients of the taxpayer-funded grants from promoting or providing abortions. To be eligible for the funds, Planned Parenthood could have separated its abortion business from its health care services, but it refu-

How can a person “bless” the violent destruction of a baby’s life? Though hard to imagine, it does happen, and some religious leaders do it in the name of Christianity and Judaism. Earlier this summer, a group of clergy gathered at the Whole Woman’s Health abortion facility in North Austin, Texas, to “bless” its life-destroying work, according to the Texas Observer. About 20 Christian and Jewish leaders who gathered for the event sang, “Hallelujah. Do not fear. You are loved. Bless this room. Bless this womb,” in the waiting room of the abortion facility, the report described. Others insisted that religious people can support abortion. “As a matter of faith, women have been given free will with regard to their bodies,” said Rabbi Alan Freeman, of Tem ple Beth Shalom. “… As a matter of faith, one’s beliefs about the nature of life is a theological issue not a legislative one.” “Let’s be clear, there is nothing in the Christian scripture that condemns abortion—it just ain’t in there,” added the Rev.

sed. “That’s the whole point of their organization: for people to be sexually active and to use the contraception that they provide, and then, of course, to refer for abortions when that contraception fails,” Cline told the news outlet. She said Planned Parenthood facilities in Texas that received taxpayer funds through Title X were referring women for abortions, and one even was performing them. According to the report: It was an open secret that “everyone knew” about the abortion referrals, Cline said, including even officials at the Texas Department of Health who were “great supporters of Planned Parenthood.” However, Title X clin ics — that were officially not supposed to perform abortions – would some times host abortionists for
visits. “The one on Sixth Street has always been known as the Planned Parenthood that did not provide abortions, and that’s where they just provided the family planning Title X services,” Cline said, but as she drove around town with a Planned Parenthood colleague they would remark “‘oh soand-so is parked there, they’re doing abortions today.’ So they say it, but it was happening.” She said there was a clear difference between the Planned Parenthood facilities and the other Title X health centers. The other health centers “actually still talked about encouraging these girls, talking about their futures, delaying sex, not getting pregnant, not having all these distractions that these sexual relationship Continuation on Page:7

2019 for many people has been a year of intense warfare as never before in many areas of life. Health issues, family issues, financial issues, job issues, emotional issues etc., etc. bringing on many other issues to deal with as well. 2019 has been for many, similar to the chick breaking forth out of the egg. No One can help him; he must do it himself. Not even mother hen can help him, because if she does, the chick will die. As difficult as it is, the chick must fight out of the egg himself. Not even a human can help the little chick. The little chick must kick against that which has him bound in his shell, until he can break loose and come forth from the inside of the shell. As the chick fights its way through the hard shell, not an easy task and one that takes much time, he will find himself breaking forth into a brand-new life, never experienced before, a world of light and freedom. So is it with the child of God, that receives supernatural strength from Holy Spirit to press though and break forth into all that our Lord and Savior has for him or her. Similar is the women in travail bringing forth her baby. The end of the labor being the hardest and most painful time, yet she anticipates the new life about the come forth for her and all the blessings that will be poured into her life through that new birth.

create in them so that they could go to college and do things and think about their future,” she said. However, Cline said Planned Parenthood discouraged its employees from counseling women that way. Instead, the abortion chain would “quickly put her in her place and let her know that people in this community can’t have hopes for any of that, and it’s just a waste of time for her to speak those kind of things into that community,” she said. “It really is about just making sure that they continue to be lifelong customers and dependents on Planned Parenthood, and getting abortions,” Cline added. It has become increasingly clear that Planned Parenthood is not focused on health care. Its “core mision” is abortion, former CEO Leana Wen admitted earlier this year. Planned Parenthood’s total patient numbers are about 2.4 million, and

they have been shrinking for years. In the past decade, its facilities provided fewer actual health services covered under Title X, including contraception, cancer screenings and well-women ex- ams as well, according to Planned Parenthood’s annual reports. Meanwhile, its abortion numbers continue to grow. Its latest annual report shows 332,757 abortions and a record $1.66 billion in revenue, including about half a billion taxpayer dollars. The Trump administration is working to defund Planned Parenthood because it is, first and foremost, an abortion business. Andmost Americans do not want their tax dollars paying for abortions. The Title X rule is just the latest example of how Planned Parenthood is focused primarily on abortion, not health care – and even its former supporters know it. +++

Maybe I am just getting old, but I sure do enjoy this
Life tends to be so busy nowadays! There are not really a lot of things that I can truly say I look forward to as far as relaxation goes. It is just the times we live in I suppose, but I have found one that I wanted to share with you. The Cortez Café for early morning breakfast. If you stop in around 6:30 am or so, chances are you will see Arlyn, myself and many times Dad enjoying a hearty country breakfast with the friendly staff and some of the local fishermen and residents. We enjoy going right after we finish our live broadcast of “God Is Real” on Facebook. Our waitresses know us so well, we do not even have to tell them our order! I cannot tell you

how enjoyable it is to take a short break in the early morning hours, watch the sun come up with the smell of delicious bacon and fresh brewed coffee permeating the café, while spending time with my wonderful wife and 91 year old Dad. Maybe I am just getting old, but it is one thing I really look forward to. Cortez is a small fishing village home to AP Bell fishing Company and many other locals that make their living from the Gulf. It is nestled in a small plaza with the Cortez Post office. The food is superb as well the service. Nice friendly atmosphere to kick back in in and enjoy a nice start to the day. If you want to eat where the locals eat, and they know the best

By Georgia Yost James 4:7 “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” Excellent book broke down in three parts. The book has inspiring messages. •What the Word Of God is •How to Study •God compared to man •Our relationship to God •Know your enemy •How to operate in God’s authority Christians should know how to fight. We are in a fallen world and nothing here is perfect. God has given us everything we would have need of to live this life victoriously. We cannot be a light to the world if we are weighed down with the cares of this world. I pray this book can lead you to God and find that in Him we have peace, joy and understanding on how to live. With the years of experience I have, I cannot thank God enough for making it possible for me to share His love and faithfulness. $5.99 Order from www.amazon.com
