Respect

   I Peter 3:15 exhorts us as Christians, "And If someone asks you about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it. But do this in a gentle and respectful way."
   Respect, this seven-letter word is sadly neglected. Recently, a Christian pastor made the headlines all over the world, threatening to have a Koran-burning party. Instead of respecting those he disagreed with , he introduced another word other than respect,, SHAME. He brought shame to Christ and shame to himself.
     I have a very important question. Where is the respect for Muslims these days? Muslims have come to America to fulfill their dreams and to have freedom and instead of treating them to the Christian ideal of "Loving your neighbor as yourself," we treat them with contempt and ridicule. So, my next question goes right to the point of the matter. Who is behaving like the terrorists? This should shame all of us..
      The big controversy this day is where should the location of the mosque in New York be? I would suggest this answer. The deeper question God is asking each of us is, Where is the location of your heart? I would like to see more respect and dignity shown to our Muslim friends. When we do, they may even listen to what we believe and then we can share our hope in a respectful way.Our problem is we are too eager to preach and not listen.
       In closing, Be respectful to our Muslim friends. This is the ultimate human apologetic. Who knows? You may even develop a friendship with them that will be life-changing and pleasing to God.

The Cross In The Desert: Jesus will satisfy your hunger and thirst

Jesus will satisfy your hunger and thirst

The cross in the desert represents hope and healing in a land that is dry and parched.
If you are thirsty, come to the living waters:
                "Those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life." (John 4:14)
If you are hungry, come and feast and be filled:
                  "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty." (John 6:35)
God desires to satisfy your life with Himself. Come and drink
 and eat and be filled with Him today!
                   "O God, you are my God.
                    I earnestly search for you.
                     My soul thirst for you:
                    My whole body longs for you
                     In this parched and weary land
                     where there is no water.
                     Your unfailing love is better than life itself.
                      How I praise you!

                                                    (Psalm 63: 1-4)
