From the Frontline-Episode 181-Introduction to the Muslim Insider Movement

From the Frontline: Understanding the Muslim Insider Movement

With a longing to see Muslims come to Christ, there has been much discussion over how to minister in these contexts. How do we effectively contextualize the gospel within Islamic communities? Must Muslims give up their Muslim identity to follow Christ? Or can they retain it as a "Muslim follower of Jesus”? Put another way, is Islam redeemable? Is it at its core simply a culture with practices and customs that can be done in obedience to Christ, or is it most centrally a religion with distinct doctrine from the truths of the Bible? How can we be most faithful to the Scriptures and affective in reaching Muslims for Christ?Join us in this introductory discussion on the Muslim Insider Movement.

From the Frontline: Coping with Crisis and Chaos

It was not raining when Noah built the Ark. How prepared are you for crisis situations? We should not fear the future. We must fear God alone. Yet we are warned in the Bible to plan for the future and to prepare ourselves for adversity. If we are to survive the storms and floods of life, then our lives need to be firmly rooted in obedience to the Word of God. Are you building your life upon the Rock, or shifting sands?

From the Frontline: Confronting Catastrophic Criminality and Communist Chaos

Crisis reveals character. While the explosion of devastating riots, rampant looting of shopping centres and malicious damage of property exposed the failure of government there is also the inspiring untold story of heroic individuals who banded together, to protect lives and property and restore law and order to communities that were threatened with devastating lawlessness. What led to the worst riots and greatest devastation to the South African economy in history? What can be done to prevent such chaotic criminality from reoccurring? What can we learn from those heroic citizens who rose to the occasion to protect lives and property and restore order where government agencies had so spectacularly failed?

“Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, great and awesome and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives and your houses.”

From the Frontline-Episode 176-Celebrating 10 Years of South Sudan's Independence

From the Frontline: Celebrating 10 Years of South Sudan’s Independence

This Friday, 9 July, marks a monumental answer to prayer as South Sudanese celebrate the 10^th anniversary of their successful struggle for self-determination and secession from the Arab North. It was a major victory against the oppressive Sharia Law of the National Islamic Front government of Sudan. 9 July, in South Sudan, marks a date with destiny. It celebrates the culminative result of many years of intensive prayer, worldwide publicity, international pressure and missionary partnership with courageous persecuted Christians in South Sudan and the Nuba Mountains. The longest war, in the largest country, was concluded with an independent and free South Sudan which separated approximately one third of Sudan’s land surface into a new and independent state on 9 July 2011. How did this come about? What can we learn from how South Sudan became the 55^th country in Africa and the 196^th country in the world, the newest country to be internationally recognized?
