Heard Jerry Rassamni's testimony from Jihad to Jesus tonight at Dallas Bible Church. A lot of things I heard about were made much more clearer tonight about Islam, such as the pre-Medina and post-Medina Islam, about glorifying 7th century Arabia, about the 72 virgins in heaven, .... But did you know that II Timothy 4:7 where Paul said "I have fought the good fight," is translated in Arabic fight as jihad? However, the Christian jihad if we look at the life of the apostle Paul, meant to be beaten, to be poisoned, to be beheaded for the sake of the gospel. Contrast that with the jihad the Islamo-fascistss are calling for, to behead the infidels, as they call the rest of the world who aren't Muslim.

These terrorists are here to stay so we need to keep fighting the war with everything we got. However, M16 and precision guided bombs can only killed the terrorists, not the terrorists factories. In the short term, pesident Bush is already doing what he can to eliminate the conditions that leads to these terrorists factories: introducing democratic governments, economic freedom, education reform, ... into the Arab world. Things that have been crying out in the pages of the Arab human development reports. But ultimately, only by changing the hearts of men and women, which in and of itself is evil because of the fallen nature of mankind, can we really have peace. In the long term, we need to show the Muslims a better way than hatred, love. They need to see Christ in us, the love of Christ through us. Or as Jerry put it, Christ in skin, which is what Christians are all about.
