Karl Barth’s Theology of Reconciliation
Karl Barth’s theology of reconciliation implies that evangelization and missions are unnecessary to convert people because all religions have equal access to God through Christ.
A New Dawn: The Heart For Muslims Conference
Unfortunately, the church has not dealt with Islam or Muslims the way that Christ commanded us to do so. We are not called to add to the conflict of various belief systems in our ever deteriorating world, rather we ought to be the church of Christ for times such as these.
Is There a Permanent Solution to Terrorism?
Only if the Islamic world, especially Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Pakistan vow to revise their education policy and philosophy the world can become a better place for everyone especially for Muslims.
Should Christians Love Muslims?

ISIS: A Blessing in Disguise
Despite all of the discussions that are focused on the ill intentions of ISIS, I have come to see the rise of ISIS as a blessing and an opportunity for the whole world.

It might be difficult for you right now but if you start loving Muslims in due time it will become part of our life, and you will know that fear has been replaced by faith in Christ and his promises.
Cultural Shifts Move The Church Away From God
In the United States, another issue with the current cultural shift in the Western Church is its own presupposition in which things must make sense according to the American theological understanding (interpretation).
Freedom of Religion and Marginalization of Religious Communities
Could it be that gradually the American culture of my Baptist faith has replaced my simple faith in Christ to trust in Him for greater needs?
Cultural Influence on Our Dependency of God
Culture has and will continue to influence our view of religion and God. Unfortunately, sometimes the most advanced cultures tend to make a mockery of the simple faith or religions found in primitive cultures.

The Reason Behind the Teachings and Practices of ISIS and Boko Haram
It is the need of our times that people from all religious and non-religious sectors work together to get along with each other and try to resolve conflict with genuine dialogue.

The Genesis of Boko Haram in Africa
Boko Haram can be translated as meaning that Western education is forbidden, but its agenda includes many other things that the group claims are forbidden in Islam.
The Origin of ISIS, Its Relation with Al-Qaeda, and Its Expansion

Jesus in the Qur’an: The Person of Jesus and the Holy Trinity
This is Book Review of Chapter 2 of THE MUSLIM NEXT DOOR ABSTRACT: The personhood of Jesus Christ is limited to a prophet in the Qur’an. Muslim who believes […]
