ERITREA Christian Singer Freed From Prison - The Chicago Tribune Gospel singer Helen Berhane, who belonged to a banned evangelical church in Eritrea, has been released after more than two years in detention. She was released in late October, according to a statement issued by Amnesty International. Berhane was arrested in May 2004. "She spent most of her detention in inhuman and degrading conditions inside a metal shipping container, which was used as a prison cell,” the statement said. The authorities reportedly tortured her many times to make her recant her faith. Give thanks to God Helen Berhane has been released at last. Ask our merciful Father to heal her mind and body as she continues to be a witness for Christ.

NBC Moves Ahead With Plans To Air Madonna Scene Mocking The Crucifixion of Christ "Crucifixes are sexy because there's a naked man (Jesus) on them." - Madonna Dear FRIENDS, Despite 740,811 emails asking the network to cancel Madonna's mocking of the crucifixion of Christ in an up-coming November special, NBC still plans to air the crucifixion mockery scene. NBC said they found nothing wrong with the scene mocking the crucifixion of Christ. Such was not the case when NBC refused to show Danish newspaper cartoons depicting Muhammad in a negative light. NBC's message? Show respect for Muslims, but it is ok to bash Christians. In the special, Madonna, wearing a fake crown of thorns, descends on a suspended mirrored, disco ball-type cross.

An important announcement from our friends at Voice of the Martyrs Christian Beaten by Muslims for "Polluting" a Public Drinking Glass Nasir Ashraf, a Christian stone mason, was brutally attacked by militant Muslims just outside Lahore. While working on the construction of a room at a school near Manga Mandi in Pakistan, Nasir took a break after becoming thirsty. He drew water and drank from a glass chained to a cemented public water tank next to a mosque, which was reserved for "all" poor people. Returning to the construction site, a Muslim man asked him, "Why did you drink water from this glass since you are a Christian?" The man accused Nasir of polluting the glass. The Muslim man yanked the glass off the iron chain, broke it and threw it in a garbage can. The man summoned other militant Muslims to the scene, furiously saying, "This Christian polluted our glass." Hearing this, the incensed mob began beating Nasir, yelling that a Christian dog

A wife and his pastor have goneinto hiding in Aceh province, Indonesia after a muslim mob set fire to a church on September 1st. Several weeks ago, Pastor Luther Saragih of an Indonesia Evangelical Mission Church congregation, distributed letters to several villages in Aceh inviting Christians to a revival service. A Muslim resident somehow received a copy of the letter and edited it, making it appear that Muslims were invited to the service. More than 500 Christians arrived for the service, along with a large crowd of irate Muslims. Police detained Saragih and scolded him for organizing the service, but another pastor was able to deliver a brief sermon before the event was cut short. Later that night, a mob of more than 100 men poured gasoline over the building and set it on fire. They also attempted to burn a second building used as a church kindergarten and came looking for Saragih and his wife at their nearby house. The couple escaped to the jungle. Christians in a neighboring prov

Maybe you believe the "theory" of evolution is based on fact. But the truth is the philosophy is literally filled with more gaps than can be counted. It is filled with the language of speculation as can be seen in this video. Just because they wear white lab coats and hav Phd after their names doesnt mean they speak the truth.

How to Understand The King James Bible How do you answer those who have heard the false advertising claim that new Bible versions are easier to read and understand? I have an appendix in my book, New Age Bible Versions , that tells how to understand spiritual things. Basically it is a "heart problem; it is not a "head" problem. First Corinthians 2:14 says that the bible's words "are spiritually discerned." So, anything relating to the bible has to be "spiritually discerned." Appendix C talks about the seven seals on the bible. The bible tells us that is is a "sealed" book. Romans 1:31-32 says those who are "without understanding...are worthy of death." Not understanding something spiritual seems to be related to sin, not to a lack of information. In Daniel 12:10 we read that "none of the wicked shall understand." So it is not a lack of information; it is a question of whether the person's heart is right with God.
The government of Uzbekistan proposed to impose massive fines on people and leaders of religious communities who share their religious beliefs outside their places of worship. This was proposed at an August 4th meeting called by the state Religious Affairs committee. All unregistered religious ativity is illegal in Uzbekistan. The fine for sharing their beliefs would be between 200 and 600 times the minimum monthly salary. Persistent proselytizing would impose jail sentences between three and eight years on them and their religious leaders. Currently there is a crackdown on religious belivers of many faiths in Uzbekistan. Please pray for the persecuted believers in Uzbekistan that they may have courage and keep all their trust in The Lord. And also pray for their safety.

Believers beaten and attacked in India. Three students from a Gospel for Asia College in Maharashtra were hospitalized after being severely beaten and attacked by anti-Christian extremists. Two pastor's wives were also stripped and beaten in front of a village council a month later for their faith in Christ. GFA President K.P Yohannan reports that Christian persecution is growing in central India. The radicals beat the believers with their fists, belts and large sticks. A group of local residents later rescued the believers. Pray for those in India that their faith may grow despite the persecution and that they may keep their eyes on Jesus Christ.

PLEASE PRAY FOR NORTH KOREA NEXT WEEK! Hello my fellow Christians. As I was watching CNN today they once again highlighted the plight of people living in North Korea and the dire situation that many find themselves in living in that country. Under the brutal dictatorship of Kim Jong Il the people are suffering from starvation, political, and religious persecution. The basic human freedoms that we all enjoy are greatly non-existant in North Korea. Christians also live in great fear for their lives under the iron fist of Kim Jong Il. As I watched the CNN Presents feature, I was wondering what I could do for the people of that nation and it just hit me that I should pray very hard for those people. So I would like to request that you all join me this upcoming week for the whole week to get on your knees and pray and pray for the people living in North Korea. Pray for their health, safety, that they may get food and also that the Gospel will penetrate into that country to free them from

Christians offer their arresting officers chairs to sit! On June 9, 2006 ten Saudi Arabian police raided a Christian worship meeting in the coastal city of Jeddah. Four East African leaders of the service were arrested. More than 100 Ethiopians, Eritreans and Filipinos were gathered for worship there at 11 a.m. The worshippers gave the policemen chairs to seat and they proceeded to wait for the service to end still clutching their clubs. At the end of the service, two Ethiopians, Mekbeb Telahun and Masai Wendewesen and Eritreans Fekre Gebremedhin and Dawit Uqbay were arrested and put in the city’s deportation jail. They are reportedly doing fine, but it isn’t known how long they will be in there. -------------------------------------------------------------- Four men have been arrested in Moroni, Comoros for their “involvement in Christianity,” according to a June 14th report by Open Doors.

Review of “The Gospel” movie: Since I enjoy reviewing movies,music, books (..in my head), I decided this time I shall write my review of the movie "The Gospel" that I watched last night. Directed by Rob Hardy, the movie revolves around David, (Boris Kodjoe of Soul Food fame) who is the son of a pastor. Just as he is being groomed into the ministry by his father, his beloved mother dies and he is devastated. Blaming it on his father, he abandons the ministry and goes on his own. Many years later as David burgeons into an R&B sex symbol, he learns that his father is terminally ill. He decides to return (a la The Prodigal Son, which the movie is based upon) and patch things up with his dying father and while there bumps heads with an egotitiscal minister (played by Idris Elba) who set is to take over the ministry from his father. The movie is quite well directed and family friendly, though there is a questionable scene where David kisses a love interest on the first date, no

So You Want a "Sign" From God? Tony sat patiently on the red-eye flight, and passed the long hours of the night by reading a Bible that his wife had given to him a few hours earlier. She had convinced him that he had sinned against God by violating the Ten Commandments. What she said was true. Tony had broken the Commandments. He had lied and stolen, and he knew that if he stood before God on Judgment Day he was in big trouble. The words of Jesus echoed in his mind: Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her, has committed adultery already with her in his heart. The opened pages brought back a flood of childhood memories from his days at Sunday school. He remembered a number of Bible stories. Of course, there was the one was about Jesus dying on the cross for our sins, and rising on the third day. Then there was the story that put the fear of God in Tony as a child. It was the narrative of the man who ignored the things of God and instead stored up treasures on earth. God s
How to Deal with Your Sexual Addiction . If you find yourself engulfed in a sexual addiction, here are some general tips that have helped many in their journey toward restoration and healing: 1. Face the facts "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" ( Romans 3:23 ). There are many ways that we humans sin and fall short -- lying, greed, stealing, adultery, taking the Lord's name in vain, and many other selfish acts. All sins are equally serious before our Holy God. If there is some sexual sin in your life, the first step toward improvement is to understand and admit what you have done. If you have given yourself to pornography or sexual fantasies involving people other than your spouse, you have been committing adultery . Jesus said: "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not commit adultery.' "But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart"
REMINDER...... Fellow Christians, please if you would consider offering a kind gift of support to the "Bible Answer Man" ministry hosted by Hank Hanegraaff. It is an excellent 1 to 2-hour program that comes on Christian radio and is an invaluable resource to Christians throughout this country. I learned that their ministry is in almost half-a million dollars of debt which they must cover by the end of their financial year ending June 30th. So please if you would be led and if you have the resources kindly make a contribution this ministry. It would be really unfortunate to see this ministry go off the air because of a lack of support from fellow Christians. This ministry is a light in our darkened times.To make a donation Call toll-free in US (888) 700-0274 Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm PST or email store@equip.org .

So the 2006 World Cup started today with the host Germany playing Costa Rica., and as expected defeating them. Well i hope this World Cup is as unpredictable and exciting as the last one. tomorrow's match btween England and Paraguay should be interesting. Well my support ever since Brazil last won in 2002 has been for African teams. Don't get me wrong, I have been a Brazil soccer fan ever since I can remember, but I think five wins is enough. It is about time an African team won, and preferably a black-African one at that. So those are the only teams I will truly support in any future World Cups, until one wins. If one doesn't win then i'll just watch the rest of the tournament for the sake of enjoyment, and root for the team with a better kit,ha....ya, so my days of support of Brazil ended in 2002...sorry.
