Rick Warren Continues to Backpedal After Implying that Christians Worship Allah
Does Rick Warren not love Muslims enough to share with them the Good News that Jesus Christ came to live a perfect life in order that He would fulfill the law and give Himself up as a sin-offering for humanity? 2 Corinthians 5:21 tells us that “He made [Jesus] who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”
EPA’s Upcoming Land Grab via the UN’s “Agenda 21”?
While the country is immersed in Obamacare headlines and a congressional tussle over delays and mandates, the Obama administration is stealthily moving toward unprecedented control over private property under a massive expansion of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Water Act authority.

Israel’s Destruction at the Hands Of American Islamists
One of the highest offices in the Department of Homeland Security is occupied by a Muslim Brotherhood zealot, with an active twitter account. On this Twitter account Mohamed Elibiary trashes Christians and dares call America an “Islamic nation.”
Taking Captive Every Thought
I have learned that when I realize my mind has begun to wonder and is going into areas that don’t glorify Him or help me, then I simply start praising Him. Rather than try to think about something else specifically, I am helped when I simply make a sharp turn away from what I’m actively thinking and begin praising God. It seems much easier than trying to deliberately replace the thoughts that are pulling me down the wrong road with thoughts that are just as deliberate to pull me back toward the correct road.
The Undeniable Value of Praising God for Everything
I fully believe that praise is the greatest weapon the Christian has at their disposal. We need to use this weapon before we use anything else, or at least in conjunction with His Word. It lifts us out of our circumstances, spiritually.

Praise Him for Everything that Comes Your Way and I DO Mean Everything
For the average person, only those who “win” are seen as being victorious in Christ. Those who lose? Failures. They misheard God. They only thought they were directed by God but in reality, they missed the boat entirely.
Can God Still Use A Weakened Vessel In These Last Days?
But is there room for an unworthy vessel? We’re all unworthy. But His grace is enough. His glory is made perfect in weakness. In the end, no matter what happens on this earth, it will only be for a short time. Eternity awaits. I admit I’m eager. But until then, I know that there are no answers and that the battles we all face are the same that the Apostles fought against, and every other human being who has walked the earth.
Doctrines of Demons: Evangelical Christians Abandoning Israel For “Palestinians”
The evangelical movement away from supporting Israel isn’t new. But reading a column on WND entitled “Look who’s switching sides in Israeli-Arab conflict” more less drove home a point that is decidedly disturbing. Evangelical Christians have been the backbone of support for the state of Israel since 1948. The reason for this is because evangelical Christians know that Israel is the fulfillment of God’s everlasting covenant with his people, which CANNOT be broken.
The Problem of Seeing God’s Strength as Your Own
But Isaiah 41:10 speaks to the fact that God will fight our battles in and through us. Sometimes, that means that we actually do something on our behalf, submitting ourselves to Him so that He will work in and through us. Other times, it means to do nothing and allow God. Each situation is different.
God’s Permissive vs. His Perfect Will in Life
In all things, God is Victor. In every way, God’s purposes are being accomplished, whether through His permissive will or His perfect will. We also see this in the lives of numerous individuals in the Hebrew Bible (OT). At times, Pharaoh hardened his own heart. On other occasions, God hardened Pharaoh’s heart. How can we justify that in terms of “free will”? It is difficult, but the truth appears to be that God will use the unsaved person to glorify Himself. Pharaoh already had an entrenched disposition that led him to harden his heart against God.
