    Today's readings remind us that all good things come from God, and he calls us to specific places and times for a reason. In the book of Esther, Fr. Mike points out that Esther was perfectly positioned to fulfill God's will. We too, can examine our lives and realize that there are places God has brought us, "for such a time as this". The readings are Nehemiah 9, Esther 4 and 14, and Proverbs 21:9-12. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

    MALAYSIA: Government Denies Christian Converts Changed ID Cards

    In Malaysia, every citizen carries an ID card that includes religion; every person is classified as either “Muslim” or “Non-Muslim.” The Malaysian constitution promises religious freedom and the right to choose one's religion. So what happens if a citizen changes their faith? “Brother Samuel” will answer that question this week on VOM Radio. Born into a Muslim family, he came to know that Jesus was the Son of God, then chose to leave Islam behind to follow Christ. At first, he kept his newfound faith quiet, knowing that being publicly identified as a follower of Jesus could bring all kinds of trouble. But as he grew in faith, he felt convicted about his silence. Jesus had died for him. How could he be unwilling even to acknowledge Christ? Learning of his conversion, Samuel's family encouraged him to dive more deeply into Islamic training and activities. Wanting to honor his father and his family, Samuel agreed to attend Islamic classes. But instead of bringing him back to Mohammed, the training forced him to become more rooted in Biblical truth and more capable at explaining and defending Christian doctrines. In 2018, Samuel began the process of applying for a new national ID card, changing his religion from “Muslim” to “non-Muslim.” Seven years later, his court case is still dragging on. While the most famous case of Christian persecution in Malaysia is the abduction of Pastor Raymond Koh, Samuel says there are hundreds of Christians right now in the same situation he's in: trying to get the government to issue them new ID cards that accurately reflect their faith. Please pray this week for Samuel and for other Christians in Malaysia. Next month is the International Day of Prayer for Persecuted Christians (IDOP). The Voice of the Martyrs has resources to help you and your church pray for persecuted Christians on November 2 and throughout the year, including a new film telling the story of ongoing persecution in Democratic Republic of Congo.

    What does it mean to pursue true spirituality in a culture filled with self-help messages and shallow substitutes? In this episode, Shanda sits down with Joshua Spatha, author of Mere Spirituality, to talk about what it looks like to return to the essence of authentic faith. They discuss the biggest misconceptions Christians have about spirituality, how Scripture defines spiritual depth, and why simplicity doesn't have to mean shallowness. Joshua also shares which spiritual disciplines are most neglected today, how the church can move past performance-driven environments, and what encouragement we can hold on to when our faith feels like just going through the motions. If you've ever longed for a faith that's real, grounded, and centered on Christ, this conversation will help you rediscover the beauty of mere spirituality.   Find Shanda www.shandafulbright.com Instagram & Facebook: @shandafulbright Email: hello@shandafulbright.com Free Resources: https://shandafulbright.com/links YouTube: http://bit.ly/ShandaYT2021 Store: www.Shandafulbright.com/shop

    In this conversation, Josh Hammer examines the perilous moral confusion of our age through the prism of Israel and its survival. The attacks of October 7 and the confused global response revealed, he argues, a civilisation that has lost confidence in truth itself. When so many can no longer distinguish between barbarism and freedom, the very survival of Western civilisation is at stake. Hammer maintains that the West's survival depends on rediscovering its biblical foundations in Judaism and Christianity. Without recovering that foundation, the West cannot withstand the mounting pressures of relativism, Islamist extremism, and cultural Marxism. This is a sobering but vital discussion on Israel, anti-Semitism, and the future of the West. Joshua Hammer is the author of Israel and Civilization: The Fate of the Jewish Nation and the Destiny of the West. He is a syndicated columnist through Creators Syndicate, senior editor-at-large for Newsweek, and host of The Josh Hammer Show.

    Sharing our faith should be exciting to us. It is exciting. When we consider the free grace God gave us through His Son, telling others about Jesus should be on our priority list every day. For whatever reason, many find it very awkward to talk to others about Jesus. We can talk about just about anything else, though. That's why it's crucial that we look at sharing the gospel as an intentional thing we do. Intentionality is a great way to overcome our hesitancy, and let's be honest, sometimes fear keeps us from sharing. Truth is, each personality requires a customized approach to sharing about Jesus. Some are outgoing and others are shy. A blogger for God TV has written that he admired a friend who told every seatmate on every plane he'd been in about Jesus.The blogger went on to write that “Even if my fellow passengers desperately wanted to know Christ, they likely couldn't even get my attention with a jackhammer drill or a pie in the face.” Kind of funny and also kind of sad, also very common. Matthew 16:24 says, “Then Jesus said to His disciples, ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.'” So, if we're looking for ways to overcome our mediocre gospel sharing, what can we do? Let's look at a few tips. The first is prayer. Get honest with God and tell Him you're not so great at evangelism. I mean, He already knows, anyway. Ask Him specifically to give you both opportunities and an intentional plan for communicating the best news anyone will ever hear.Two, plan, think ahead. Are you a person who's good at conversation? Go over a mental checklist that provides you with enough scripture and short sentences to make your pitch when the time comes. However, if you're not outgoing, maybe you're a writer. Consider communicating with a card to let the person know you're thinking about him or her. Play to your strengths, not your weaknesses. Number three, listen before you talk. How many times do we jump into a conversation or meeting without taking a breath? Train yourself to be quiet for a bit until you hear where the other person is coming from. You'll learn about your friend or acquaintance, and you can then think through the best way to approach them about the saving gift of Jesus. But also, don't just wait for your turn to talk. Hear them. Meet them where they are, and listen to the Holy Spirit to see how you can speak Jesus into that person's life. Very few of us are Billy Graham. That doesn't mean we can't share the gospel. Somebody's depending on it. Let's pray.Father, whatever our personality and our experiences, give us a passion for loving unbelievers and caring about their well-being. The world is full of diversity. Help us embrace that. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

    In this video, we dive into a controversial but important question: How should Christians respond to Islamic immigration? Recently, videos have gone viral of people protesting Islam in ways that seem “Christian” on the surface—but are they actually following Christ's commands?As believers, we need to recognize that while Islam as an ideology stands against Christianity, our response as followers of Jesus cannot simply mirror the culture's hostility. The Bible calls us to something greater: to love our neighbors, love our enemies, and show radical hospitality.In this discussion, we talk honestly about Islam, Christianity, and the tension between the two faiths—but we also highlight the unique way Christians are called to respond. Instead of reacting with fear or hatred, we are commanded to extend love, compassion, and the hope of the gospel to Muslim immigrants.Whether you're a Christian wrestling with these issues, a skeptic curious about faith, or someone who's struggling to reconcile love and truth, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to live out the teachings of Jesus in a broken world.Enjoy!Got any questions or topics you'd like to hear about?

From opposition to the deity of Christ, to the rise of proto-Gnosticism, to the pluralism of pagan culture, and even internal conflicts like the Jerusalem Council—Christians in the first century wrestled with many of the same issues we see in our modern “pre-Christian” world.In this lecture, Christian Barrett explores:- Why the Jewish leaders opposed Jesus and the early Christians- How "Proto-Gnostic" ideas threatened the church's doctrine- Paul's bold response to paganism in Athens (Acts 17)- The Jerusalem Council's decision and its impact on salvation by grace- How these early challenges equip us to face today's cultural and spiritual questionsWhether you're a student, pastor, or just curious about church history, this teaching will help you see that “there is nothing new under the sun”—and that the gospel is still the power of God for every generation.00:15- How studying history can help us face our challenges today07:31- The First Challenge: Judaism8:50- Why did the Jews kill Jesus?19:54- The Second Challenge: Proto-Gnosticism28:39- The Third Challenge: Paganism34:13- The Fourth Challenge: LegalismDiscussion Questions:1. What are some problems or challenges you see in Christianity today that you think the early church also faced?2. Why do you think acknowledging Jesus as God was so controversial then? Why is it still controversial today? A. How can we defend Christ's deity?3. Where do we see similar “spiritual elitism” or denial of physical reality in our world today?4. Why is it hard for people today to accept that Jesus is the only way?5. What are ways people today still try to add requirements to salvation, instead of trusting Christ alone?6. Which of these early challenges (hostility, false teaching, pluralism, legalism) feels most pressing to your faith right now? Why?Recommended Resources: Nick Needham, 2000 Years of Christ Power, Vol 1: https://www.amazon.com/000-Years-Christs-Power-Vol/dp/1781917787Justo Gonzalez, The Story of Christianity, Vol 1: https://www.amazon.com/Story-Christianity-Vol-Church-Reformation/dp/006185588XThe Shepherd of Hermas: https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0201.htmThe Apostles' Creed: https://www.crcna.org/welcome/beliefs/creeds/apostles-creedThe Didache: https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0714.htm#ChurchHistory #EarlyChurch #ChristianFaith #CollegeMinistry #Apologetics
