Two Algerian Churches Shut because of Missionary Work

March 23, 2008 No Comments

Algerian authorities ordered the closure of two churches in the Algerian city of Tizi Ouzou
last week for alleged missionary work, according to recent press reports.

The latest closures are a part of an intensive campaign to uncover conversion efforts in many
Algerian provinces, especially tribal areas, resulting in 10 churches receiving orders to close
since November.

Ministers of the two Protestant churches in Tizi Ouzou, 100 kilometers (62 miles) east of Algiers,
were summoned by the authorities and charged with engaging in illegal practices.

The Pastor and His son

March 17, 2008 3 Comments

Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at the church, the Pastor and his eleven-year-old son would go out into their town and hand out Gospel Tracts.

This particular Sunday afternoon, as it came time for the Pastor and his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was very cold outside, as well as pouring down rain.

True Praise and Worship

March 16, 2008 1 Comment

There is a lot of emphasis in churches today on praise and worship. The practical understanding that many people have of this subject is that praise and worship is the first part of a church service. We “warm people up” with some fast songs (praise) and then we sing some mellow songs of adoration.

Doing all this is fine but the 30 minutes or so usually allocated to this does not constitute a lifestyle of praise, nor a lifestyle of worship. Being a true worshiper of God is a lot more than this.

Is the Bible all really easy to understand?

March 9, 2008 2 Comments

From time to time you will hear a preacher get up and say something like, “Actually the Bible is really easy to understand. Even a child can understand it. Its simple – we just make it complicated with our various theologies”.

This sounds good, and might encourage some to read the Bible – which would be a good thing, but there are a couple of important things we should observe.

Firstly, we need the Holy Spirit’s help to understand God’s message to us.

Christian TV channels should NOT support false prophets and teachers

As someone who is involved in setting up Christian TV channels, I feel it is important to state that FINANCIAL REALITIES DO NOT TRUMP GOD’S COMMANDS NOT TO BE PARTNERS WITH FALSE PROPHETS/TEACHERS.

In other words, just because a certain preacher can raise a lot of money from people on TV and can pay handsomely for TV time, does not mean that it is God’s will that his or her message be heard on TV.

The influence of Television is Massive. True Christians SHOULD be aiming to get hold of this medium.

John Hagee says Jesus did not come to be the Messiah

John Hagee pastors a very large church. He goes on TV a lot. I understand he divorced and remarried a long time ago. Whether that disqualifies him from being bishop or an overseer over God’s people – you judge.
