DC Talk: "Jesus Freak"

This song reminds me of myself during my junior high and high school days. I used to hand out tracts to the kids and I wore my Christian badges proudly. And when I had an opportunity, I defended Christ in class

Listen to this loud and proud song about our Lord here:

The worst persecution I suffered for the Master was mild compared to the suffering of God's apostles. Hebrews 11:36-38 (Bible in Basic English) reads, "And others were tested by being laughed at or by blows, and even with chains and prisons: They were stoned, they were cut up with knives, they were tested, they were put to death with the sword, they went about in sheepskins and in goatskins; being poor and in pain and cruelly attacked, Wandering in waste places and in mountains and in holes in the rocks; for whom the world was not good enough."

I'm glad Jesus made no secret of persecution to come when we follow him. He warned in John 16:2 (BBE), "They will put you out of the Synagogues: yes, the time is coming when whoever puts you to death will have the belief that he is doing God's pleasure."

I believe that when persecution comes to us, the Holy Spirit will strengthen us to go through it. Revelation 12:10 (BBE) reads, "And a great voice in heaven came to my ears, saying, 'Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: because he who says evil against our brothers before our God day and night is forced down.' And they overcame him through the blood of the Lamb and the word of their witness; and loving not their lives they freely gave themselves up to death."

And lest anybody thinks God won't avenge those who would rather die than abandon Christ, Revelation 6:9-11 (BBE) shows his concern for his martyrs. "And when the fifth stamp was undone, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been put to death for the word of God, and for the witness which they kept. And they gave a great cry, saying, 'How long will it be, O Ruler, holy and true, before you take your place as judge and give punishment for our blood to those on the earth?' And there was given to every one a white robe, and they were ordered to take their rest for a little time, till the number was complete of the other servants, their brothers, who would be put to death, even as they had been."

No matter what happens, we must keep in mind John 12:25 (BBE). "He who is in love with life will have it taken from him; and he who has no care for his life in this world will keep it for ever and ever."

If Christ hasn't returned by Thursday, I plan on posting about pride and a great song by Deep Purple.

Who Intercedes For Us, Jesus or Allah?

Like the previous post, the answer to this question is also obvious. Even so, I'll point out the true intercessor.

A good scripture to answer this question is Romans 8:34 (KJV). "Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us."

But the Quran says in sura 39:35 (THRONGS) that, "Allah will acquit them of the worst of their deeds, and will reward them according to the best of what they used to do."

But 1 John 2:1 (KJV) reassures believers that, "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:"

As I pointed out before, Allah is a demon and not our heavenly Father. Revelation 12:10 (KJV) speaks of the Devil this way. "And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night."

I've also pointed out previously that the Quran and other so-called holy books are false gospels. Galatians 1:7 (KJV) says of these bogus gospels, "Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ."

Better still, Christ understands us and our weaknesses. Hebrews 2:18 (BBE) assures us that, "For having been put to the test himself, he is able to give help to others when they are tested."

How wonderful it is that we have such a caring friend advocating for us in heaven. I'll write more about his work in my next book called You Think You're Going to Heaven? Instead of a religion filled with duties and legalistic commandments, our Lord loves us and helps us through the sufferings of this world.

On Saturday, I'll be posting about a song which points out the hypocrisy of certain folks who pride themselves on being morally upright. God sees their secret sins which they hide from the public.
