The Muslim Maze, Pt. 4

Contributed by Dave Kinney on Nov 29, 2004

This series could be summed up this way...Jesus raised the dead and Mohammad killed the living. Jesus healed the sick and Mohammad harmed the healthy. Jesus released the oppressed and Mohammad enslaved the free! And it’s still happening today!

“The Muslim Maze”, Pt. 4 Matthew 7:15-20 I just want to go on record as saying again; these 4 weeks have not been a Muslim bashing with hate. But rather it’s been an Islamic exposing with truth.

Prayer And The Obedience Of Faith

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 24, 2023

We have access to grace and eternal life with the Blessed Trinity precisely because of their obedience, and our imitation of them by the obedience of faith.

Saturday of the 29th Week in Course 2023 Our Lord frequently prayed at night, perhaps because His fame spread so widely in a short time that people desperate for help surrounded Him every day (except perhaps the Sabbath).

Sermon: Preserving The Best Of Both Worlds Series

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jan 17, 2023
