D. JAMES KENNEDY MINISTRIES PRESENTS
TRUTHS THAT TRANSFORM.
RADICAL ISLAM HAS KILLED THOUSANDS IN SYRIA, IRAQ,
AND AROUND THE MIDDLE EAST OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.
AND IT IS DISPLACING THOUSANDS MORE.
HOW CAN YOU PERSONALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
FIND OUT ON TODAY'S TRUTHS THAT TRANSFORM.
THIS IS TRUTHS THAT TRANSFORM.
♪
WELCOME TO TRUTHS THAT TRANSFORM, A PRODUCTION OF
D. JAMES KENNEDY MINISTRIES, WHERE WE ARE STANDING FOR
TRUTH AND DEFENDING YOUR FREEDOM.
RADICAL ISLAM IS ON THE MARCH AROUND THE WORLD.
JUST IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS, WE'VE SEEN ATTACKS
IN ENGLAND AND FRANCE.
AND JUST LAST YEAR, A GUNMAN CLAIMING LOYALTY TO
ISIS KILLED 49 PEOPLE IN A NIGHTCLUB IN ORLANDO.
IN THE MIDDLE-EAST, THE PICTURE IS EVEN BLEAKER,
WITH CHRISTIANS BEING MURDERED EN MASSE BY
RADICAL MUSLIMS, AND MANY BEING FORCED TO FLEE THEIR
HOMES FOR SAFETY.
ON THIS PROGRAM, YOU'LL DISCOVER MORE ABOUT THE
NATURE OF RADICAL ISLAM.
AND WE'LL SHARE WITH YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO
PERSONALLY AID FAMILIES WHO ARE ON THE RUN FROM
ISLAMISTS.
AS WE BEGIN, WE'RE JOINED BY CAMILLE MELKI OF HEART
FOR LEBANON, AN ORGANIZATION DOING
IMPORTANT WORK IN THIS AREA.
CAMILLE, THANKS FOR BEING WITH US.
THANK YOU FRANK, IT'S GREAT TO BE WITH YOU.
PLEASURE TO HAVE YOU HERE.
THANK YOU SIR.
I DON'T THINK TOO MANY PEOPLE FULLY UNDERSTAND
WHY LEBANON IS SO CENTRAL TO THE WHOLE REFUGEE ISSUE
IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
EXPLAIN TO US WHAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT LEBANON.
YEAH FRANK, YOU KNOW THE UNITED NATIONS AND
INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY LOOKS AT THE SITUATION IN
THE MIDDLE EAST AND REALIZES THAT WE ARE TODAY
AT THE WORST MIGRATION ROUTE SINCE WORLD WAR II.
IN FACT, THE WAR IN SYRIA IS CONSIDERED THE WORST
HUMANITARIAN CRISIS SINCE WORLD WAR II.
BECAUSE OF THE DISPLACEMENT?
BECAUSE OF THE DISPLACEMENT, BECAUSE OF
THE MAGNITUDE OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE BEING
KILLED AND INJURED, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HALF OF THE
SYRIAN POPULATION.
HALF OF THE 27 MILLION WHO LIVE IN SYRIA ARE DIRECTLY
AFFECTED.
8 MILLION OF THEM LIVE AS INTERNAL DISPLACED FOLKS
IN THE COUNTRY OF SYRIA.
AN ADDITIONAL 5 MILLION HAVE CROSSED THE BORDERS,
MANY OF THEM TO LEBANON.
LEBANON TODAY IS CONSIDERED AS THE LARGEST
PER CAPITA HOST OF REFUGEES WORLDWIDE.
THERE IS NO NATION ON THIS PLANET EARTH THAT HAS MORE
REFUGEES PER CAPITA.
WE'RE A POPULATION OF 4 MILLION, AND TODAY WE HAVE
2 MILLION REFUGEES FROM SYRIA, FROM IRAQ, AND FROM
PALESTINE.
COME TO THINK ABOUT IT, LEBANON IS THE HOST OF
MANY WHO ARE FLEEING TURMOIL, FURTHERMORE
FLEEING RADICAL ISLAMISTS.
THE REASON WHY THEY COME TO LEBANON IS BECAUSE THE
COUNTRY OF LEBANON DESPITE ALL OUR DIFFICULTIES AND
ALL OUR CHALLENGES, WE STILL TEND TO BE MORE
DEMOCRATIC AS A NATION THAN ANY OTHER ARAB NATION
IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
ALSO THE COUNTRY OF LEBANON HAS A LARGE
CHRISTIAN POPULATION.
SO PAINT THE PICTURE FOR ME OF A FAMILY COMING OVER
THE MOUNTAIN, THEY'RE COMING DOWN INTO THE HILLS
OF LEBANON AND THE PLACES WHERE YOU HAVE ALL OF YOUR
EFFORTS TO REACH OUT TO PEOPLE.
WHEN THEY GET THERE WHERE DO THEY GO, HOW DO THEY
KNOW WHERE TO GO?
HERE'S THE SAD PART, LEBANON HASN'T RECOGNIZED
THE REFUGEE'S RIGHTS SO THE UNITED NATIONS HAS
VERY LIMITED SERVICES TO PROVIDE TO THE REFUGEES SO
BASICALLY WHEN THEY SHOW UP THEY REALLY ALL CAN DO
IS PITCH A TENT IN THE BEQAA VALLEY WHICH IS AN
AGRICULTURE VALLEY BETWEEN THE TWO MOUNTAINOUS
TERRAINS, ACROSS FROM THE SYRIAN BORDERS.
WHEN THEY GET TO THE BEQAA VALLEY THAT'S WHERE HEART
FOR LEBANON, OUR TEAM MEETS THEM FIRST.
WE HAVE A CENTER IN ZAHLÉ, ZAHLÉ IS THE CAPITAL OF
THE PROVINCE IN THE BEQAA, AND OUR TEAM IS VERY WELL
TRAINED, FIRST TO PROVIDE THE BASIC NECESSITIES OF
SURVIVAL, AND THEN ASSESS THE FAMILIES WHO NEED THE
MOST HELP AND PROVIDE BLANKETS, CLOTHES, FOOD,
MEDICAL CARE, ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT WE COULD
PUT OUR HANDS ON TO HELP A REFUGEE SURVIVE THE
HARDSHIP THAT THEY ARE GOING THROUGH.
I'M TRYING TO IMAGINE MYSELF AND MY FAMILY
FLEEING FOR OUR LIVES AND THEN WHEN WE GET TO THE
BEQAA WE SEE FRIENDLY FACES FOR THE FIRST TIME.
IT MUST BE VERY EMOTIONAL WHEN YOU COME AND EMBRACE
THESE PEOPLE AND SAY, OK IT'S BEEN ROUGH BUT WE'RE
GOING TO HELP YOU NOW.
THAT'S VERY TRUE AND OUR BASIS OF WORK IS VERY
RELATIONAL, WE DON'T ONLY WANT TO GIVE HUMANITARIAN
AID FOR SURVIVAL, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE
REFUGEES RECOGNIZE THAT THE COMPASSIONATE HEART OF
JESUS CHRIST IS WHAT DRIVES US.
WE SAY AT HEART FOR LEBANON, DRIVEN BY THE
COMPASSIONATE HEART OF JESUS CHRIST, HEART FOR
LEBANON EXISTS TO SEE LIVES CHANGED AND
COMMUNITIES TRANSFORMED, SO OUR DESIRE IS NOT ONLY
THEY ARE FED AND CLOTHED, NOT ONLY THAT THEY RECEIVE
MEDICAL CARE, BUT THAT THEIR DIGNITY IS RESTORED
AND THEIR TRUST IN HUMANITY IS RESTORED AND
THROUGH THAT DEVELOP A TRUST RELATIONSHIP WHERE
WE COULD SHARE THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST WITH EVERY
FAMILY WE SERVE.
YOU KNOW I'M A DAD I'VE GOT THREE KIDS AND WHEN
THEY WERE SMALL I THINK ABOUT HOW VULNERABLE THEY
ARE OUT IN THE WORLD SO I'M PICTURING A DAD COMING
OVER THE MOUNTAIN OR A MOM OR AS YOU SAY ANY MIXTURE
OF FAMILY WITH MY YOUNG CHILDREN.
DESCRIBE SOME OF THESE YOUNG KIDS WHEN THEY COME.
WELL HERE'S ONE IN PARTICULAR.
A YOUNG LITTLE GIRL CAME TO ME MAYBE A MONTH AGO,
HER NAME WAS RAJAV.
SHE SAID, PRAY WITH ME, PRAY WITH ME THAT MY UNCLE
WILL BE RELEASED FROM JAIL.
NOW, SHE CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD, YOU KNOW I'M
WALKING AT ONE OF OUR SCHOOLS, WE HAVE 300
STUDENTS THERE AND I KNOW RAJAV IS FROM SYRIA, I
KNOW THAT SHE HAS COME WITH HER MOTHER, SHE HAS
LOST HER FATHER, SHE HAS LOST HER OLDER BROTHER,
SHE HAS LOST HER GRANDFATHER, SO SHE LOST
THREE DEAR FAMILY MEMBERS IN THE WAR IN SYRIA BUT I
DID NOT KNOW THAT SHE HAS NOT ONE BUT TWO UNCLES
THAT WERE PUT IN JAIL BY THE SYRIAN REGIME.
YOU KNOW, I SAT HER DOWN, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT SHE
KNOWS ABOUT JESUS FIRST AND I SAID RAV, TELL ME A
LITTLE BIT, SHE SAID WELL EVERY NIGHT AT THE TENT ME
AND MY COUSIN WILL KNEEL DOWN AND WE PRAY, WE READ
THE SCRIPTURE AND WE PRAY.
I SAID, SCRIPTURE, SHE GAVE ME THAT LOOK THAT'S
LIKE, DON'T YOU KNOW THAT THEY GIVE US BIBLES AT THE
SCHOOL.
AND THEN FROM THERE ON, SHE WENT AND TOLD ME, IF
YOU'RE REALLY DIGGING DEEP JESUS IS IN MY HEART, I
HAVE ACCEPTED HIM AS MY PERSONAL SAVIOR.
I SAID, AND DOES YOUR MOTHER KNOW?
SHE SAID, YES, MY MOTHER CANNOT READ AND WRITE BUT
WHAT SHE DOES EVERY NIGHT SHE ASKS US TO COME AND
READ THE BIBLE FOR HER.
SO HERE IS RAJAV WHO HAS ACCEPTED CHRIST AS HER
PERSONAL SAVIOR AND WHO IS NOW LEADING HER FAMILY,
HER MOTHER AND SISTERS AND COUSINS TO CHRIST AS WELL.
ON THE WAY OUT AFTER THIS LITTLE TALK WITH HER, SHE
LOOKED AT ME AND SHE SAID AND I WILL BE PRAYING FOR
YOU, 12 YEAR OLD RAJAV.
WELL WE'RE DELIGHTED CAMILLE TO PARTNER WITH
YOU, YOU'RE SUCH A STRATEGIC MINISTRY AND ONE
SO FAITHFUL TO THE GOSPEL AND TO YOUR LORD AND
SAVIOR, THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
THANK YOU FRANK, GOD BLESS YOU.
IT'S A PLEASURE.
LATER IN THIS PROGRAM, WE'LL TELL YOU HOW YOU CAN
JOIN US IN HELPING HEART FOR LEBANON ACCOMPLISH
THEIR CRUCIAL WORK IN ASSISTING FAMILIES FLEEING
FROM RADICAL ISLAM, AND MINISTERING TO THEM WITH
THE GOSPEL.
AT ROOT, RADICAL MUSLIMS PROCEED BASED ON THEIR
IDEA OF ULTIMATE TRUTH.
AND THAT'S TRUE OF ALL OF US AS WELL ISN'T IT?
WHAT WE BELIEVE MATTERS.
SO WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BELIEFS OF
CHRISTIANS AND THOSE OF MUSLIMS?
OR HINDUS, OR BUDDHISTS, AND OTHER RELIGIONS FOR
THAT MATTER?
DR. D. JAMES KENNEDY EXPLAINS IN THIS PORTION OF HIS MESSAGE,
"WHAT ABOUT THESE OTHER GODS?"
WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE OTHER GODS HAS BEEN A QUESTION
THAT MILLIONS OF AMERICANS HAVE ASKED?
ARE THEY REAL?
ARE THEY FALSE?
WHAT SHOULD WE THINK?
WELL, SOME PEOPLE HAVE SAID, "WELL, YOU SEE,
THERE IS REALLY JUST ONE RELIGION AND WITH
DIFFERENT FACES, AND WE'RE ALL BASICALLY GOING TO THE
SAME GOD THROUGH DIFFERENT PATHS.
THIS WAS A WAY THAT WE COULD SORT OF TONE DOWN
ANY CONFLICTS THAT MIGHT EXIST.
BUT THEN PEOPLE BEGAN TO LOOK AT THEM A LITTLE BIT
MORE CAREFULLY, AND WE DISCOVERED THAT OF THOSE
THREE- BUDDHISM, HINDUISM, AND ISLAM: THAT ISLAM IS A
RADICAL MONOTHEISTIC RELIGION, WHICH MEANS THAT
IT BELIEVES VERY DEFINITELY IN ONLY ONE GOD
AND MAKES NO ROOM IN THAT UNITARY GOD FOR EVEN THE
CHRISTIAN TRINITY.
WHEREAS, RIGHT NEXT DOOR, WHERE ISLAM ABUTS INDIA,
WE HAVE HINDUISM WHERE THEY HAVE ANYWHERE FROM
300,000 TO 3 MILLION GODS.
NOBODY REALLY KNOWS FOR SURE.
BUT IF YOU KEEP GOING EAST YOU RUN INTO BUDDHISM AND
THEY HAVE NO GOD AT ALL- AT LEAST MOST OF THEM.
IN CHICAGO AT THE WORLD PARLIAMENT OF WORLD
RELIGIONS, 6000 PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD
GATHERED TO TRY TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE MESS,
SOLVE THE PROBLEM, AND FIGURE OUT JUST WHAT
REALLY WAS GOING ON.
SO, WHAT WAS THE SOLUTION?
THERE WAS NONE.
ALL THEY DID WAS COME UP WITH SOME ETHICAL
SUGGESTIONS.
SO RELIGION HAD DISSOLVED ENTIRELY, LEAVING NOTHING
BUT ETHICS AT THE WORLD PARLIAMENT OF RELIGION.
ISN'T THAT IRONIC, TO SAY THE LEAST, AND CERTAINLY
THAT WORLD PARLIAMENT WAS THE DEATH KNELL OF THIS
IDEA THAT ALL RELIGIONS ARE BASICALLY THE SAME.
THAT IS AN OPTION THAT JUST DOES NOT REMAIN OPEN
TO ANY RATIONAL BEING.
ERWIN LUTZER, IN AN EXCELLENT TEXT, SAYS,
"I BELIEVE THAT THE SCRIPTURES REQUIRE US TO
VIEW OTHER RELIGIONS AS THE FLAWED ATTEMPTS OF MAN
TO REACH GOD THROUGH HUMAN EFFORT AND INSIGHT.
JESUS, YOU MAY RECALL, IN THE GOSPEL OF JOHN, SAYS,
"I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD; ALL THAT EVER CAME BEFORE
ME WERE THIEVES AND ROBBERS, AND THE THIEF
COMETH NOT BUT TO STEAL AND TO KILL.
I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD THAT LAYETH DOWN MY LIFE
FOR THE SHEEP."
NO ONE ELSE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR ANY SHEEP, BUT
JESUS.
SO CHRIST SAYS THAT THESE ARE NOT, BY ANY MEANS,
GODS.
AND IN ALL PAGAN RELIGIONS THERE WAS ONE UNDERLYING
REALITY, AND THAT IS THAT ESSENTIALLY PEOPLE ARE
WORSHIPING WITHOUT KNOWING IT THESE DEMONS OR FALLEN
ANGELS, AND ALL OF THEIR EFFORTS ARE ALWAYS EFFORTS
TO TRY TO AFFECT THEIR OWN SALVATION.
THE GREAT TWO QUESTIONS THAT RELIGION ASKS IS,
"WHO IS GOD?"
AND "HOW CAN I BE WITH HIM FOREVER."
GOD AND SALVATION.
AND ALL PAGAN RELIGION, THOUGH IT IS IN ALL OF
THAT PHANTASMAGORIA CONFUSING AND COMPLEXING,
NEVERTHELESS BOILS DOWN TO MAN'S EFFORT TO SAVE
HIMSELF.
SO THE WORSHIP IS GIVEN TO THE CREATURE, AND IT IS
THE CREATURE'S EFFORTS TO SAVE HIMSELF, THAT ALL OF
THEIR HOPES ARE BUILT UPON, AS OPPOSED TO
CHRIST, WHO IS THE LIVING GOD, WHO HAS PROVED
HIMSELF SUCH BY HIS RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD
AND WHO FREELY GIVES ETERNAL LIFE BY HIS GRACE
AS A GIFT TO ALL OF THOSE THAT WILL TRUST IN HIM.
AS DR. KENNEDY SHARED TODAY, THERE IS A VAST
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHRISTIANITY AND OTHER
WORLD RELIGIONS.
AND BECAUSE OF THOSE DIFFERENCES- BECAUSE
CHRISTIANITY ALONE ANSWERS THE GREAT QUESTIONS OF
HUMANITY- CHRISTIANITY HAS TRANSFORMED THE WORLD FOR
THE GOOD IN WAYS THAT NO OTHER FAITH HAS.
BECAUSE OF THE ONGOING CONFLICT IN OUR WORLD LED
BY RADICAL ISLAM, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO KNOW WHAT
ISLAM TEACHES- AND HOW IT CONTRASTS WITH THE TRUTH
OF CHRISTIANITY.
DR. JERRY NEWCOMBE HAS MORE.
WE ARE TOLD REPEATEDLY THAT ISLAM IS A RELIGION
OF PEACE.
AND THAT ALL RELIGIONS ARE BASICALLY THE SAME.
BUT IS THAT TRUE?
WHAT DIFFERENCES DO WE FIND WHEN WE COMPARE ISLAM
AND CHRISTIANITY?
IF YOU READ AUGUSTINE, WHO LIVED IN NORTH AFRICA, IN
TUNISIA, WHAT IS TUNISIA TODAY, HE DESCRIBES
GARDENS AND LUSH VILLAS AND BEAUTIFUL LIME STREETS
WITH MAGNIFICENT TREES, WITH DATES THAT COULD BE
PLUCKED OFF.
BUT THEN CAME THE ISLAMIC INVASION IN THE 7TH
CENTURY AND CENTURIES OF ISLAMIC RULE IN NORTH
AFRICA, ALONG THE COAST OF THE MEDITERRANEAN.
GO THERE TODAY, WHAT DO YOU SEE?
ITS BARREN, IT'S NOT JUST A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE
CROWDED INTO THE REGION, IT'S THERE ARE NO TREES:
THERE ARE NO GARDENS, ITS HORRIFYING.
IT'S A WASTELAND.
WORLDVIEW HAS VERY PRACTICAL IMMEDIATE
RESULTS.
IT'S WHY THE WEST HAS SEEN THIS FLOWERING OF ART,
MUSIC, LITERATURE, AND IDEAS.
WHEN I TAKE TOUR GROUPS TO EUROPE, YOU SEE SO MANY
CATHEDRALS, EVEN LITTLE PARISH CHURCHES IN
NEIGHBORHOODS, THEY'RE EVERYWHERE.
THE PROFUSION OF GLORY, OF BEAUTY, OF OPPORTUNITY, OF
FREEDOM, OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT UNDER A
CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW IS SO PROFOUNDLY DIFFERENT FROM
ANYTHING ELSE THAT HAS EVER EXISTED IN ALL OF
HUMAN HISTORY.
IF YOU'VE EVER WALKED THE STREETS OF BAGHDAD WHICH I
HAVE, IF YOU'VE EVER WALKED THE STREETS OF
SULAYMANIYAH WHICH I HAVE, IF YOU'VE WALKED THE
STREETS OF KIRKUK WHICH I HAVE, I HONESTLY WOULD
RATHER WALK IN THE WORST PARTS OF NEWARK OR
DETROIT.
IT'S FRIGHTENING, IT'S POOR.
IT'S CRUMBLING.
HERE'S A PLACE IN THE WORLD WHERE THERE IS SO
MUCH WEALTH DUE TO THE NATURAL RESOURCES OF OIL,
AND PEOPLE ARE LIVING IN SQUALOR.
THAT'S THE RESULT OF A WORLDVIEW, WHERE PEOPLE
DON'T MATTER.
IDEAS HAVE CONSEQUENCES.
AND THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A
CHRISTIAN AND AN ISLAMIC VIEW OF LIFE.
IN HIS BOOK THE POLITICALLY INCORRECT
GUIDE TO ISLAM, ROBERT SPENCER REPEATEDLY
CONTRASTS THE TEACHINGS OF MUHAMMAD WITH THOSE OF
JESUS.
FOR EXAMPLE.
AND THERE ARE MANY OTHER DIFFERENCES.
ISLAMIC THEOCRACY HAS A PROFOUNDLY DIFFERENT
EFFECT ON A CULTURE THAN CHRISTIANITY DOES.
WE HAVE NEW TESTAMENT TEACHING THAT TELLS US TO
RENDER ONTO CAESAR WHAT IS CAESAR'S AND TO GOD WHAT
IS GOD'S, WE RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS A SEPARATE
PUBLIC SPHERE, A PUBLIC LIFE, AND THAT'S IT NOT
QUITE THE SAME AS OUR SPIRITUAL LIFE.
ISLAM DOES NOT RECOGNIZE ANY DISTINCTION BETWEEN
THE SECULAR SPHERE AND THE SPIRITUAL SPHERE.
SHARIA, THE ISLAMIC LEGAL AND POLITICAL SYSTEM DOES
NOT, IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS CONFINED TO SPIRITUAL
LIFE: IT IS A TOTALITARIAN SYSTEM IN THE LITERAL
SENSE OF THAT WORD IN THAT IT WANTS TO CONTROL EVERY
ASPECT OF HUMAN LIFE.
A GREAT CONTRAST BETWEEN CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM
CENTERS AROUND THE ASSURANCE OF SALVATION-
OR THE LACK THEREOF.
THE APOSTLE EVANGELIST ST. JOHN SAYS IN HIS FIRST
EPISTLE THAT "I WRITE THESE THINGS SO THAT YOU
MAY KNOW THAT YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE AND ETERNAL
LIFE IS IN THE SON."
THE REALITY IS THAT THAT KIND OF PRINCIPLE IS
NOWHERE IN ISLAM: THERE IS NO ASSURANCE OF SALVATION,
A PROMISE OF SALVATION IN ISLAM: THERE IS ONLY THE
IDEA THAT IF YOUR GOOD DEEDS OUTWEIGH YOUR BAD
DEEDS THEN YOU WILL GO INTO PARADISE.
HOWEVER, AND THIS IS A BIG HOWEVER, THERE IS ONE
GUARANTEE OF PARADISE TO ONE GROUP OF PEOPLE IN THE
QUR'AN AND THAT'S IN CHAPTER IX VERSE 111 WHERE
PARADISE IS GUARANTEED TO THOSE WHO KILL AND ARE
KILLED FOR ALLAH.
THAT IS THE JUSTIFICATION THAT IS GIVEN WHEN SUICIDE
BOMBING RECRUITERS ARE TRYING TO GET SUICIDE BOMBERS.
THEY TELL THEM YOU'LL ENTER PARADISE THIS WAY,
IT'S GUARANTEED!
AND SO THEY GET ESPECIALLY A LOT OF YOUNG MEN WHO
LIKE THE IDEA OF ALL THESE VIRGINS AND THEY THINK
THAT THEY'RE GUARANTEED TO BE ENJOYING THEIR COMPANY
FOREVER: THEY SIGN UP TO BE SUICIDE BOMBERS.
MOHAMMED ATTA AND HIS COHORTS WERE ABLE TO GO TO
STRIP CLUBS BEFORE 9/11 BECAUSE THEY KNEW THEY
WERE GOING TO COMMIT A GREAT DEED OF JIHAD THAT
WOULD OUTWEIGH ALL THEIR BAD DEEDS, SO IT'S
ESSENTIALLY A FREE PASS: IT'S AS IF YOU CAN DO
WHATEVER YOU WANT AND GOD WON'T MIND BECAUSE YOU'RE
GOING TO DO JIHAD AND THAT'S GOING TO OUTWEIGH IT ALL.
CHRISTIANITY, ON THE OTHER HAND, IS A DEMONSTRATION
OF A WHOLE LIFE THAT IS ACCOMPLISHED FOR US WHEN
WE WERE UNABLE TO ACCOMPLISH ANY OF THE
RIGHTEOUS STEPS BETWEEN US AND GOD.
WE HAVE THIS DOUBLE TRANSACTION WHERE CHRIST
ACTUALLY TAKES OUR SIN, PAYS THE PENALTY FOR IT,
AND THEN IN A SECOND TRANSACTION AND THIS IS
THE MARVEL, HE TAKES HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, PLACES IT
ON US, ADOPTS US AS SONS AND DAUGHTERS,
THE WORLDVIEWS ARE VASTLY DIFFERENT.
BUT WE ARE REPEATEDLY TOLD ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE.
ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE, YES.
THE PEACE THAT ISLAM ENVISIONS IS THE PEACE
THAT WILL COME WHEN THE WHOLE WORLD IS RULED BY
ISLAMIC LAW AND MUSLIMS HAVE THE OBLIGATION TO
WAGE WAR AGAINST NON-MUSLIMS UNTIL THAT
TIME, AND SO IT'S A RELIGION OF VIOLENCE AND
HATRED AND SUPREMACISM, ULTIMATELY CULMINATING IN
AN ERA OF PEACE THAT WILL SEE THE ESSENTIAL
ENSLAVEMENT OF NON-MUSLIMS.
AS YOU'VE JUST SEEN, THERE IS A VAST DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN JESUS AND MUHAMMAD; BETWEEN
CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM.
AND THAT DIFFERENCE INCLUDES HOW THE FAITH IS
SPREAD.
CHRISTIANITY SPREADS BY PERSUASION AND EVANGELISM.
ISLAM HAS HISTORICALLY SPREAD BY THE SWORD.
AND IN OUR DAY, THOUSANDS ARE BEING KILLED IN
NATIONS LIKE IRAQ AND SYRIA FOR REFUSING TO BOW
TO ISLAM'S SWORD.
AND THOUSANDS MORE ARE FLEEING.
THESE PEOPLE NEED YOUR HELP- AND WE HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO GET INVOLVED.
HERE'S MY VERY SPECIAL FRIEND JENNIFER KENNEDY
CASSIDY TO TELL US MORE.

RECENTLY ON THE TONIGHT SHOW, CELEBRITY ACTOR ROB
LOWE WAS ASKED IF HE HAD ONLY ONE WISH, WHAT WOULD
HE WISH FOR?
HE ANSWERED, "ETERNAL LIFE."
IN THE CONTEXT OF A LATE-NIGHT COMEDY SHOW,
THE PROFUNDITY OF HIS ANSWER COULD BE MISSED,
BUT HIS ANSWER IS HONEST AND TELLING.
THE DESIRE TO LIVE ETERNALLY- EVEN AFTER WE
DIE- IS UNIVERSAL.
IT'S THE REASON PEOPLE STRIVE TO LEAVE THEIR MARK
ON THE WORLD.
IT'S WHY PEOPLE JOIN CAUSES AND PUT THEIR NAMES
ON BUILDINGS AND COMPANIES.
BUT IN TRUTH, THERE IS A WAY TO HAVE ETERNAL LIFE-
IT'S THROUGH FAITH IN THE LIFE, DEATH, AND
RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF THE
LIVING GOD.
ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS VERSES IN GOD'S WORD TELLS US,
BUT TRAGICALLY, MANY IGNORE THAT TRUTH,
SEARCHING FOR SUBSTITUTE PATHS TO EVERLASTING LIFE.
SOME PERPETRATE SUICIDE ATTACKS UPON INNOCENT
VICTIMS, HOPING TO IMPRESS GOD ENOUGH TO GRANT THEM
SALVATION.
OTHERS PAY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO
HAVE THEIR BODIES FROZEN AFTER DEATH, HOPING THAT
MATERIALISTIC SCIENCE WILL ONE DAY FIND THE KEY TO
IMMORTALITY.
IN REALITY, DEATH WILL COME TO US ALL.
THE SCRIPTURE SAYS,
ISLAM MAKES NO PROMISES FOR ETERNAL LIFE, AND MANY
TRY TO SECURE IT BY VIOLENCE.
BUDDHISM TELLS US THAT OUR INDIVIDUAL LIFE IS AN
ILLUSION, AND THAT DEATH MERELY RETURNS US TO THE
UNDIFFERENTIATED POOL FROM WHICH WE CAME.
ATHEISM SAYS WE ARE MERELY A TEMPORARY CHEMICAL
ACCIDENT.
ONLY JESUS CHRIST, WHO PAID FOR OUR SINS ON THE
CROSS AND OVERCAME DEATH IN HIS RESURRECTION, CAN
TRULY OFFER THE ETERNAL LIFE WE ALL SEEK.
AND HE DOES SO AS AN ABSOLUTELY FREE GIFT-
OFFERED TO THOSE WHO WILL TRUST IN HIM BY FAITH.
WE ARE STANDING FOR TRUTH AND DEFENDING YOUR
FREEDOM.
I'M FRANK WRIGHT.
THANKS FOR JOINING US FOR TRUTHS THAT TRANSFORM,
WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME.
NEXT WEEK ON TRUTHS THAT TRANSFORM.
THERE ARE 2 GREAT THREATS WHICH ARE THREATS NOT ONLY
TO AMERICA BUT ALSO TO CHRISTIANITY AND THE
WORLD; ONE IS MILITANT ISLAM.
INTERESTING THAT WE SHOULD SHOW SUCH DEFERENCE TO
ISLAM WHICH ACTUALLY HAS VIRTUALLY NO TOLERANCE
ECUMENICALLY SPEAKING FOR THE BELIEF SYSTEMS AND
PRACTICES OF OTHER RELIGIONS.
THAT'S NEXT WEEK.
TODAY'S PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE ON DVD FOR YOUR
GIFT TO THIS MINISTRY OF ANY AMOUNT.
PLEASE CALL, WRITE, OR LOG ON TO OUR WEBSITE TODAY.
