In contemporary Indonesia the idea that Islam and Marxism are inherently incompatible has become deeply entrenched. However, as Lin Hongxuan's work Ummah Yet Proletariat: Islam, Marxism, and the Making of the Indonesian Republic (Oxford University Press, 2023) shows, the relationship between them in Indonesian history is deeply intertwined. Based on a wealth of Indonesian language sources, Lin traces over the half century between 1915 and 1965 how Islam and Marxism coexisted and converged in the Netherlands Indies and newly independent Indonesia. In addition to reframing Indonesian ideological history, the book also helpfully emphasises key actors' engagement with broader intellectual currents to situate them in a global historical context.

AUDIO TRANSCRIPT Good morning, Harvest, and Happy New Year. Open your Bibles, please, to 1 Chronicles,chapter 13. It will be in the Old Testament, 1 Chronicles, chapter 13. If you want, youcan put a little bookmark at chapter 15, because we're going to be looking there briefly aswell. This morning, we're beginning a three-week series on worship. Of course, there are manyways that we worship, prayer, preaching, proclaiming the gospel. I think it's fair to say thatfor everyone who is a believer in Christ, whatever we do is worship. Everything we do shouldbe for the glory of God. There are right ways, and there are wrong ways to worship God. AtHarvest, we follow something known as the regulative principle. That simply means thatif a type of worship is not permitted in Scripture, we don't do it. We don't get to worship Godhowever we want to. We must worship Him in the way that He commands. You may wonder,"Why do we do the things we do here in worship every Sunday? Who makes that up?" Well, it'snot made up. We do what God's word says to. You'll notice that every Sunday, we meettogether. We preach God's word. We read God's word. We pray and we sing. Now, while thoseare ways in which we are commanded to worship, this three-week series is going to focus particularlyon worshiping through music and singing. Our starting point for all three of these messagesis John 4 verses 23 and 24. "But the hour is coming and is now here, when the true worshiperswill worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worshipHim. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." Sowe see that from these verses, the right way to worship God is spirit and truth. In twoweeks, Pastor Taylor is going to cover why worshiping in spirit and truth through musicand song is so important. Next week, Pastor Jeff will take us through what it means toworship in spirit. And then this morning's message is about worshiping God in truth.So here's the point of this week's sermon. "The Lord God Almighty delights to be withus, but we must have regard for His holiness and worship Him according to His commands."You see, when we worship God that way, when we worship God in truth, it means the wordswe sing to and about Him are true. By singing true words about God, we're able to rememberlater what is true. And we learn sound doctrine. If you've ever memorized Scripture throughsinging or you've sung the old hymns that are just chock full of biblical truth, youknow what I mean. When we worship God in truth, the truth fills us with awe. We aremoved emotionally. We're moved physically by the truth that we sing. Now at Harvest,we don't use, you know, strobe lights, flashing lights, fog machines, loud music, and othertactics to manipulate you into thinking that you're worshiping just because you're experiencingone sensory overload after another. But if what we sing is true, then truth will fillus and flow out of us. When we worship God in truth, we recognize that singing His praisesis of the utmost importance to Him. He's worthy of our praises. He's worthy of all our songsabout Him. He commands our praises. He expects it. The Book of Psalms is proof of that. Andwe should therefore make every effort to worship Him the right way because that pleases andglorifies Him. Let's pray. Oh, most gracious God, sovereign of the universe, God most high,you are awesome and mighty, and you are worthy of all praise. You are worthy of all of ourattention. You are worthy of every thought. You are worthy of every song we can sing.Because Lord, you are holy and you dwell in the praises of your people. I pray this morningthat we would overflow in worshipful song because we know the truth. We know the tritetruth of who Jesus Christ is and what He has done for us and that He is in us. And it'sin His great name. We ask it. Amen.Now this morning's passage recounts when David wanted to bring the Ark of the Covenant,the Ark of God, to Jerusalem to be near him. The passage contrasts the wrong way to worshipGod with the right expression of awe and reverence for God Almighty. Before we dive into thismessage, I need to give you some background. We need to do a brief history lesson. So youprobably all know God chose and called the people of Israel out of Egypt so that he couldbe with them. And the primary way that he demonstrated his presence with the peopleof Israel was through a movable tabernacle. That's simply a large tent and it was surroundedby a big fabric courtyard and poles. But inside the tent there were two separate places. Therewas the holy place and that was furnished with the Ark of Incense and a table in which breadwas placed every week and a lamp, a gold lamp to give light. And then on the eastern sideof this tent was basically a cube-shaped area. It was about 15 by 15 by 15. It was a perfectcube and that was the most holy place, the Holy of Holies. And it contained the Arkof the Covenant. In other places in Scripture it's called the Ark of God or the Ark ofTestimony. Now in Exodus 25 God gave some very specific directions for the Ark's constructionand its significance. It was a wooden box. It was about 45 inches long, 27 inches high,27 inches wide. Not that big. And then the wood was overlaid with gold and then on topwas a solid gold lid. It was all hammered out of one piece of gold and there were twocherubim on the top. So this is just a very simple example of what it might look like.We can't really speak in detail now about what the Ark looked like but we have the descriptionin Scripture. Now this lid with the cherubim was also called the Mercy Seat and it wassignificant for several reasons. One, the Lord was said to be enthroned above the cherubim.And two, the Lord spoke to Moses from between the cherubim. And then a third reason is onthe annual day of atonement the high priest would enter the Holy of Holies and he wouldsprinkle blood on the lid to atone for the people's sins. And it's in this way that theLord tabernacled or dwelled between the two cherubim on the lid of the Ark. In this waythe Lord was present with his people and the people knew God was with them because in thedaytime there was a pillar of cloud over the tabernacle and at night it became a pillarof fire and whenever that pillar moved up and forward it was safe for the Levites, thepriests to go in, pack up the Ark, pack up the tabernacle and move it to wherever Godwas leading them. He took them wherever he wanted them to go. Now God also gave veryspecific instructions about how the Ark was to be moved and by whom. Only the Levitesand of the Levites a clan called the Coethites were allowed to carry the holy things includingthe Ark. Now this Ark was meant to be portable. It was carried on poles, passed through goldrings that those rings were attached to the feet of the Ark and in that way the Ark waslifted up over the priests heads when they carried it so all the people could see theArk was with them. Now these poles were never supposed to be removed from the Ark and beforethe Ark was moved it was supposed to be hidden. They put a big goat skin over it and thenthey covered it with a blue cloth and then that's they would pick it up and they wouldmove it. Now let's move ahead in time about 400 years to the end of the period of thejudges in 1 Samuel. At that time there was a man named Eli. He was the high priest andduring this time the Israelites fought a battle against their arch enemies the Philistinesand they were defeated. The Philistines walloped the Israelites and they were like, "Oh whatare we going to do? What are we going to do? Wait no, let's go bring the Ark of the testimonyto us. Let's bring it into the camp with us thinking this will bring us victory." Andthey were instead defeated in a very great slaughter. And Eli's two sons they were killedand the Ark was captured by the Philistines and taken away. When Eli heard his sons weredead and the Ark was captured he fell backwards over on his chair and broke his neck and hedied. This had to be a terribly bleak time for Israel. Their God, their God was captured.They had no priests, they had no prophets and as yet they had no king. Their whole identityas a people has been overthrown in a day. Now the Philistines they took the Ark to thecity of Ashtad and they put it in the temple of their God named Dagon. And the statue ofDagon fell face down in front of the Ark. So they picked him back up and set him upagain. They come in the next day and this time the God Dagon has fallen over again but thistime his head is busted off and his hands are broken off. And something else happens.The Lord begins terrifying the people of Ashtad with plague and tumors and death. So the Philistinesand Ashtad they take the Ark to Gath, another Philistine city. And the people there alsosuffered from plague and tumors and death. So they pick it up and they move it againto the city of Ekron and guess what happens? The people there experience plague, sickness,death. And they go, "Okay, enough of this. Enough of this." They decide to return theArk to Israel after seven months of being afflicted by God. So the Philistines, theysay, "What do we do with this?" They put the Ark on a brand new cart and they hitch it totwo milking cows. And the cows, instead of trying to go back to be with their calves,their babies, they instead they go straight up to a place in Israel called Beth Shemesh.The Israelites at Beth Shemesh, they rejoiced to see the Ark returned. But when some ofthe men of Beth Shemesh apparently looked into the Ark, the Lord struck down 70 of them.So the people of Beth Shemesh asked the people in another town called Keryth Jerem,"Come and get the Ark from us." Which they did. So the men of Keryth Jerem brought the Ark to thehouse of a man named Abinadab. They consecrated his son Eliezer to oversee it. And the Arkremained there, the Bible says, for some 20 years. Now after David becomes king, you know,this is a period of time Saul was king, he is dead, Jonathan is dead, David has become king,he is now established in Jerusalem as his capital. And David's got this idea, he wants to bring theArk of God from Keryth Jerem to Jerusalem. So David gets all the commanders, all the priests,and the Levites together to get their concurrence with his idea. And now we pick up at our accountin Chronicles chapter 13. "Then let us bring again the Ark of our God to us," David says."For we did not seek it in the days of Saul. All the people agreed to do so, for the thing wasright in the eyes of all the people." So David assembled all Israel from the Nile of Egypt toLebohamed to bring the Ark of God from Keryth Jerem. And David and all Israel went up to Bala,that is Keryth Jerem, that belongs to Judah, to bring up from there the Ark of God, which iscalled by the name of the Lord who sits enthroned above the cherubim. And they carried the Ark ofGod on a new cart from the house of Abinadab. And Uzzah and Ohio were driving the cart. And Davidand all Israel were celebrating before God with all their might, with song and liars and harpsand tambourines and symbols and trumpets. So this is quite a procession, quite a big celebration.It brings us to our first point. Good intentions and enthusiasm don't equal true worship.There are some huge red flags in this account. As king, actually David's a prince really,because the Lord is still the true king. You know the Bible calls David King David?He's really a prince of the true king. But as King David wants God's presence near him.The Lord has established David and Jerusalem over Israel and to have the Ark of the Covenantnearby would really cement the relationship between God and the house of David.It was a shrewd religious and political move on David's part.But notice in this account David doesn't seek God's counsel about moving the Ark.David knew what he wanted. And he apparently expected God to bless this plan. It's a goodthing, right? Bring the Ark up to Jerusalem. I mean, after all God had blessed David up to this point.So David just gathers counselors around him to agree with him and they go off and they do justwhatever it is they want to do. And you notice the phrase, "The thing was right in the eyes of allthe people." If you're familiar with the book of Judges, you know there's flashing red lights andwarning sirens going off all over the place. The leaders of Israel may have all agreed,but if something is wrong, widespread agreement doesn't make it right.Not one of the priests, Sir Levite, seemed to have suggested consulting the Lordor the Law of Moses before doing this thing. And then to move the Ark, what do they do?They put it on a cart. "Oh, but it was a new cart," you say. "Well, let's should please the Lord,right? Look, Lord, Lord, Lord, look at this fancy set of wheels we got for you. Aren't you impressed?Finest Cedar from Lebanon. The problem is they're copying the Philistinesrather than consulting God or the Law of Moses." So they got the Ark all loaded up.They got a big procession, almost 30,000 people. Can you imagine? 30,000 people. That's 12,000 morepeople than fit in PPG Paints Arena, just for perspective. 30,000 people with David,and they're celebrating with all their might, and they're singing and praising with lots ofinstruments, the liars, the harps, castanets, cymbals, trumpets. They have every intentionof worshiping the Lord, and they're super enthused. And this is just all quite a spectacle. It looksimpressive. It sounds good, but they're more interested in putting it on a show than worshipingGod. It was more about their worship experience. It was more about what David wanted than worshipingthe Lord. It was more about what they perceived God would approve without confirming than it wasabout worshiping God as he commanded. And that's the core problem here. They're not worshiping theLord the way he commanded. They're not worshiping in truth. They don't even seem to have the slightestinterest in truth. Where? Where was the counsel of the high priest in the Levites? Where was prayerin the simple request, Lord, what do you want? Where are the coethites and the poles to carry theark above the heads of the people? Where is the reverence and the awe due to the Lord?Now, you can manufacture enthusiasm while singing. You know, that's why so many churches, they usethe lights and the fog and the beautiful moving images and the sonic walls of ear-popping soundsand drums and squealing singers gesturing wildly. It looks worshipy. It sounds worshipy. It probablyeven feels worshipy. Therefore, I must be worshiping God. Have you ever heard people say, "Oh, worshiptoday was great." I had a great worship experience. Have you ever said that? Who was it that made itthe worship great? The sonic boom or the truth of God? Did you sing songs about yourself or songsthat praise God's character, mercy, grace, and love? Were you pleased with yourself or did youplease your God by worshiping Him in truth? Now, some of you hearing this are probably congratulatingyourself right now. That's right, Sprunk. That's right. I agree with everything you've said.All that exuberance, it's all fake. It's all performance. I just don't see what all the fussis about. Why? That's why when they're singing going on, I just keep my cool. I keep my reserve.Well, good. If you're thinking along those lines, that's good because this next point is just for youbecause just as good intentions and enthusiasm don't equal true worship, it is perilous to worshipGod carelessly. Look at verse 9. "And when they came to the threshing floor of Chaitan, Azza put outhis hand to take hold of the ark for the oxen stumbled, and the anger of the Lord was kindledagainst Azza, and he struck him down because he put his hand to the ark, and he died there before God.And David was angry because the Lord had broken out against Azza, and that place is called ParisAzza to this day. And David was afraid of God that day, and he said, 'How can I bring the ark of Godhome to me?' So David did not take the ark home into the city of David, but took it aside to thehouse of Obed Edom the Getite. And the ark of God remained with the household of Obed Edom in hishouse three months, and the Lord blessed the household of Obed Edom and all that he had.And we may be shocked that God struck down Azza for touching the ark.I mean, can you imagine this procession of 30,000 people and boom, Azza's dead?Well, that would take the wind out of the celebration, wouldn't it?Try to think what that might have looked like. Well, if you were in Butler on July 18, 2024,and there was an assassination attempt, you probably know what it felt like.If you saw Charlie Kirk murdered, that's what it was like.But God struck Azza down, and you may think, 'Well, what's the big deal? Why did he do that?They were worshiping.' Well, we've seen there were multiple things wrong with the way Davidand the Israelites treated the ark of God. Number one, they copied the Philistines.They're worshiping like pagans, and pagans don't know the truth. They treated the Holy Lord, GodMost High, the Holy Lord of Israel, shabbily. They treated God like baggage in a wooden cart.They were careless and unconcerned whether their worship obeyed the truth or expressed the truth.And we know Israel had a history of careless, half-hearted worship.We saw that in the Book of Judges, the people after they were settled in the land,they became idolatrous and careless in their worship. They served other gods, and they treated the arkas if it was some sort of good luck charm, a lucky rabbit's foot.They had no qualms about taking the ark from the Holy of Holies and carrying it around whereverthey liked. 'Take it down to the battle,' they said. 'God will fight for us,' they said.'You've got another thing coming,' God said. And everything was lost because of their insolence.The Philistines, they thought they had completely defeated the Israelites.'We've captured Israel's God,' they said.'We'll put him in the temple of our God, Dagon, and he'll worship our God,' they said.'You've got another thing coming,' God said. For their insolence, God busted up Dagon andafflicted the Philistines with sickness and death until they sent the ark back to Israelite territory.And after the ark returned to Israel's territory, the people of Beth Shemeshwanted to get a look at the most holy thing in the nation.They treated the ark like a curiosity, as something that they were consecrated and qualifiedto look at. 'Oh, God has returned to us,' they said. 'Let's sacrifice the cows and worship,' they said.'Let's look inside,' they said. 'You've got another thing coming,' God said.And seventy men of Beth Shemesh were struck down for their insolence.And then twenty years after the ark was moved to Curious Gerum, David proposes to bring the arkto Jerusalem. 'God's established me as king over Israel,' he said. 'It's right in our own eyes tobring the ark to Jerusalem,' they said. 'Let's put it on a new cart,' like the Philistines did,they said. 'Let's worship and celebrate with all our might and loud instruments,' they said.'You've got another thing coming,' God said. And as it was struck down for the people's insolence,you see, David and the priests and the Israelites treated God with contempt, and God said, 'Enough.'And David was rightly afraid of God, but no, he was also angry. But it was a self-pityinganger. David was angry because he didn't get his way. He was angry like Cain when God rejectedCain's act of self-centered worship. Angry like someone who knows he hasn't done his best,he hasn't done something right, but he wants approval anyway. But God is not mocked. God wasnot going to allow David and the priests to disobey his commands and still claim that they wereworshiping him properly. We should see that it is perilous to worship God carelessly.David had to learn, and although the text doesn't say, perhaps he repented of his irreverent worship.He was, after all, a man after God's own heart. And when he heard that Obed Edom was blessedby God, he realized it was possible to bring the ark to Jerusalem. But he had to do it the right way.So turn your head to 1 Chronicles 15. We're going to look at verses 11 through 15.Then David summoned the priests Zadok and Abayathar and the Levites, Uriel, Asiah, Joel,Shamiah, Eliel and Abinadab, and said to them, "You are the heads of the Father's houses of the Levites.Consecrate yourselves, you and your brothers, so that you may bring up the ark of the Lord,the God of Israel, to the place I have prepared for it. Because you did not carry it the first timethe Lord our God broke out against us, because we did not seek him according to the rule."So the priests and the Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the ark of the Lord,the God of Israel. And the Levites carried the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles,as Moses had commanded according to the word of the Lord.This time David does it the right way. The priests consecrate themselves. They preparethrough sacrifice and washing and abstaining from anything that would make them ritually unclean.Each one got himself ready for worship. They follow the Lord's command when they carry the ark.They lift up the ark and they revere the Lord as holy in the sight of all the people.In short, they now worship according to the word of the Lord. And the Lord showed he was pleasedwith their reverence by allowing David to finally bring the ark to Jerusalem.Likewise, when we worship the Lord in truth and according to his command, he is pleased.All right, so you've been listening intently to all of this. You've been maybe taking some notesand you understand good intentions and enthusiasm don't necessarily equal true worship.You recognize it's perilous to worship God carelessly. You may even be persuaded that you needto worship the Lord in truth. But how? How do we do this? And what does that even look like?Well, we worship in truth when we worship God who is with us.When I was preparing this sermon, I recall seeing a series of memes a few years ago thatcontrasted an event or thing that was brutal with another thing or event that was epic.So I asked some folks familiar with cutting edge technology, cutting edge social media,you know, like MySpace and Vine and Friendster. Did you guys remember those memes?And they're like, no, we I don't remember that at all. And I'm like, well, aren't you people onparlor? Well, anyway, anyway, I know, I know I did not imagine those memes that juxtapose brutaland epic themes. Now, have you have you ever encountered a brutal or brute factthat has set or altered your plans, perhaps altered the trajectory of your life?You know, brute facts are hard, unalterable truths and incurable illness being laid offand debilitating injury. Now, not all brute facts are so dramatic, but we have to reckonwith them. We must adapt and come to terms with them.When I was in 10th grade, I had the ambition to row in college. And one day, the University ofWashington's head coach visited our school. The University of Washington has one of the premierrowing programs, collegiate programs in the country. And their head coach came to our school afterour men's heavyweight four won the American Schoolboy Championship. Now, I wasn't in that boat,but I was pretty excited about this coach's visit. And I was standing in the hallway and he shook myhand and they nice to meet you. And the brute fact was brought home to me that his interest was inOrsman, who were five foot 10 and taller. I had to face the brute fact that I was too short to rowfor any college program. I still am. Now, now that might seem like a silly example, but our livesare filled with inalterable facts. They are the truths we must face. Our intellectual and physicalcharacteristics can only be changed so much. Some of our earlier poor choices in life may have hadconsequences for the rest of our life. Choices or decisions made by others may affect our careers,our health, our relationships. All of us must face a variety of inconsequential to life alteringbrutal facts. But there is one glorious fact so enormous in its scope, so epic in its immeasurableproportions that all the brute facts of our lives pale in comparison. There is an epic truth thatought to completely transform how we think, how we live, and yes, how we worship. It is quite simplythis. If you have trusted Jesus Christ for salvation, he abides in you. Christ in you is your hope ofglory. It is very simple. I repent, I believe in Jesus, and now I possess Jesus. Now, recall fromthe introduction of this message that when God wanted to dwell with his chosen people, he did sothrough the Ark of the Covenant. That simple box containing two tablets of the law and placed inthe most holy place was how God chose to tabernacle with and dwell with and be with his people.John chapter one verse 14 tells us the word became flesh and dwelt among us.The word translated dwelt there is literally tabernacle. Jesus tabernacled among us. Jesuswas the most holy place, the holy of holies in the flesh walking among his people.The world's religious systems have nothing like this. We understand God is absolute power,but yet he's personal. Islam has an absolute God in Allah, but he is in no way personal to his people.Zeus and the variety of Greek and Roman gods, they were personal. They looked very human,but not a single one of them had absolute power.Christianity is unique in the fact that the absolute sovereign of the universehumbly dwells with us in a personal way. There is no other religion, no other systemthat compares with, comes close to the way of Christ.Now you might say, well, he's not tabernacling or dwelling with us now, is he?I mean, even the most ardent followers of Christ can get a bit muddled in their thinking aboutJesus' present location. I mean, I thought he ascended to heaven. He's at the right hand ofGod the Father. Well, he did. He is there. But if you stop there, you may tend to think that Jesusis far away from us. You might think he's like a regional supervisor in a big corporation.He's given us a list of commands to follow. We got to check off our list to make sure we're good.And, you know, he checks in occasionally to see how we're doing. And, you know, he approves orcritiques our performance. We have weekly meetings, right? Every Sunday we have weekly meetings.We get a message from headquarters. We have a musical pep rally. And then we get on with our week.Well, if you think in any way like that about Jesus, you are mistaken. Jesus is not limitedby time or space or location. When you think that way about worshiping Jesus, you neglect this greattruth from John chapter 14 verses 16 through 18. Jesus told his disciples, "I will ask the Father,and he will give you another helper to be with you forever, even the spirit of truth whom the worldcannot receive because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with youand will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans. I will come to you."So, where is Jesus? Yes, at the right hand of the Father and present in everyone who believes inhim through the Holy Spirit. First Corinthians reinforces this truth. Look at verse 16 inchapter 3. "Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's spirit dwells in you?"And then chapter 6 verses 19 and 20. "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spiritwithin you whom you have from God? You are not your own. You were bought with a price,so glorify God in your body." The Greek word translated as temple in these verses is naos,and AOS, naos. And it refers to the most holy place, the holy of holies, where the ark was kept.You see, beloved, we are living, breathing portable tabernacles, holy places in whom Christabides. And the law is now written on our hearts instead of stone tablets. We must embrace thistruth and worship in it and out of it and through it. The Spirit of Christ in youought to be calling out to the Father and worshiping him in truth. This awesome, glorious,almighty, inipotent Creator and Master of the heavens and earth humbly dwells with youand makes you his friend. Jesus promises to abide in us and he calls us to come and abide in him.What is your response? Maybe you're hearing this truth for the first time and you're overjoyedby this jaw-dropping reality and you're ready to praise him in song right now.Or maybe you've just considered this in passing, but you think that holy spirit stuff,isn't that for the charismatic? And I don't feel, I don't feel the Spirit of God dwelling in me.It's not about feeling. The Spirit of God in dwelling all believers is presented as a statementof fact. It is true of all believers. Look again at 1 Corinthians chapter 6, 19 and 20.Do you not know your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, not outside of you?We don't have to ask him to come and visit us in this place. We don't have to ask him to fall onus or anything like that. He is always with us in us. You're not your own. You were bought with a price.So glorify God in your body. This is not some charismatic mumbo jumbo. You don't need a secondbaptism. You don't need an infilling of the Holy Spirit because when you heard the word of truth,the gospel of your salvation and you believed in Jesus, you were sealed with the promised HolySpirit. You have all the fullness of Christ in you right now. You have all of him that you couldever need. All of us together being built up into a holy temple have all the fullness of Christ in us.Everything that is his, his ours already, you don't need more of him. He simply wants more of you.Every day he calls you to abide more deeply in him. Here's the problem.Some, maybe many of you don't live in this truth and you don't worship out of it.Maybe it's because you're just learning about it. Maybe it's because you don't understand the scopeof this epic truth yet. But it would be really, really bad if you understood this truth.And up to this point in time, you've been careless about it.You know, it's okay if I'm habitually late to worship. I don't feel like singing anyway, you say.You hang out in the kitchen area and you chit chat with friends because fellowship is more importantthan singing, you say. When you are present, your hands are in your pockets, your arms are crossed,you won't open your mouth to sing. God knows I can't sing. He doesn't expect it, you say.It's my choice whether I sing, even if the Lord commands it, you say.You, you may have another thing coming. You treat God shabbily and carelessly. You don'tvalue or appreciate the truth that he dwells in you. Instead, you act like he's remote anddisinterested. Instead of deep calling out to deep, you quench the spirit and you instantlybehave in a way that's right in your own eyes with such worship. God is not pleased and you aretesting his patience. Repent, repent right now and every day this week for treating the Lord JesusChrist with contempt, repent and earnestly seek his face. Here is your assignment this week. Readand reread John 14 verses 15 through 23 and then get flat on your face and ask him to reveal bothin your heart and your mind the truth that he dwells with you. Ask him to help you to liveand praise out of the truth that you are his tabernacle. He delights to dwell with youand he delights to hear you sing his praises. Now the worship team is going to come back upand help us to worship the Lord in truth. Singing his praise is of the utmost importance to him.Right now, you have the opportunity to praise the Lord in truth. Right now, make every effort toget yourself to the throne of grace with your brothers and sisters and glorify your father andyour savior in truth. Because if you didn't know it before today, you do now. You were redeemedto worship and glorify him. It is your purpose and privilege to worship God who is with us.Our closing prayer this morning is from Psalm 98. Oh, sing to the Lord a new song for he has donemarvelous things. His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him. The Lord has madeknown his salvation. He has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations. He has rememberedhis steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seenthe salvation of our God. Make a joyful noise to the Lord all the earth. Break forth into joya song and sing praises. Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody,with trumpets and the sound of the horn. Make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord. Amen.

Unsafe Nigeria; Gumi Describes US Military Action In Sokoto A Terrorist Acthttps://osazuwaakonedo.news/unsafe-nigeria-gumi-describes-us-military-action-in-sokoto-a-terrorist-act/#Issues #Gumi #Omokri #Sokoto #Sowore #Tinubu #Trump #US ©December 26th, 2025 ®December 27, 2025 12:14 am One of the most talked about Islamic Preachers in Nigeria who have had photographs with people suspected to be terrorists; terrorizing villages and communities in the Northern part of Nigeria when he visited the suspected terrorists in their camps inside forests on the ground of having peace talk with the armed groups, Sheikh Ahmad Abubakar Mahmud Gumi has described as a terrorist act the United States, US military action ordered by President Donald Trump that attacked and killed yet to be ascertained total numbers of ISIS affiliated Lakurawa terrorists in Sokoto State on Christmas Day, this, the Islamic Cleric called on the people in the villages affected by the US missiles' strikes on Thursday night to post on social media platforms evidences of damages caused by the US military action,   according to Gumi, it is inline with the teaches of Islam for terrorists to be killed, but, the killing must be done by people with a clean and holy hands, and "not by another terrorist whose hands are stained with the blood of hundreds of thousands of innocent children, women, and men just recently", stressing that, the US involvement in the fight against terrorism in Nigeria will make the country becomes an enemy of its neighbours, a theatre of war, because the involvement will attract the real anti-US Forces into the West Africa country, and in a manner that looked like mockery, Sheikh Gumi said "dropping a few bombs here and there cannot tackle the menace of terror; they need serious military on the ground, which, if we are serious, we have enough men to do that", in contrary to Gumi's assertions, the Nigeria Government, through the office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar said it was President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Thursday that gave the US the approval to carry out the strikes against the terrorists, but the government statement apparently did not go down well with Omoyele Sowore, a human rights activist and the founder of SaharaReporters news media, who insisted that "it is evident that the strikes were carried out without the genuine authority or informed consent of the weaklings masquerading as government under Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu", and in a swift reaction to Omoyele Sowore, one of the recently nominated and confirmed Ambassador-Designate, Reno Omokri said "I am afraid I will have to disagree with Mr Omoyele Sowore, and others like him, who are misinforming the Nigerian public that the recent actions against terrorists are proof that Nigeria lacks sovereignty, Such views are indicative of a lack of awareness of international relations, It is also wrong for Mr Sowore to call our government and military weak". #OsazuwaAkonedoUnsafe Nigeria;

In this explosive episode, Imam Mohammad Tawhidi breaks down why Iran is not a true republic, democracy, or traditional theocracy. He explains how the country is ruled under the Guardianship of the Jurist, giving the Supreme Leader absolute power under the claim of divine authority.Drawing from his firsthand experience studying inside Iran's clerical institutions, Imam Tawhidi exposes how elections are a façade, how clerics operate as a ruling cult rather than a government, and how Islam is weaponized into Islamism to control populations both in Iran and abroad. He dives into seminaries, IRGC influence, ideological indoctrination, and the export of revolutionary Islam to the West.

Het jaar eindigt, de winterkou slaat toe. Alle reden voor de jaarlijkse Winterboekenspecial! Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger nemen je mee naar het jaar 750 in Aken en Bagdad, naar Londen in 1940, het jacht van Onassis in 1958, het Wenen van 1740, Nederland in het Europa van 1920, Oberstdorf in Beieren in 1933 en decennia van dissonanten in het Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken. Word ook vriend van de show! Heb je belangstelling om in onze podcast te adverteren of ons te sponsoren? Zend ons een mailtje en wij zoeken contact. *** Eerste boek: 'Hoe de wereld veranderde rond het jaar 750' van Herman Kaptein (Walburg Pers, 293 p.) Een fascinerende vergelijkende historie van mondiale veranderingen in economie, cultuur, governance en technologie in de periode die wij in Europa 'de Karolingische renaissance' noemen. Maar de schrijver ziet analoge ontwikkelingen elders in de wereld, van het Midden-Oosten tot India, de Zijderoute en China. Cruciaal was het opbloeien van een schriftcultuur die grote invloed uitoefende op de wijze waarop de heersers van de toen opkomende imperia konden regeren. Wetgeving, documentatie van besluiten en regels, communicatie, rechtspraak en sociale en religieuze ordening werden rationele gemaakt door deze vast te leggen in formele geschriften. Het feit dat met de katholieke kerk en de Islam grote, gemeenschappelijke normenstelsels over de nieuwe imperia werden gespreid versterkte deze ontwikkeling nadrukkelijk. Karel de Grote beschikte door zijn steun aan de kloosterordes over een grote groep geletterde, multinationale adviseurs en bewindslieden die bovendien in heel zijn rijk in dezelfde taal met elkaar konden communiceren en discussiëren: het Latijn. In Bagdad gebeurde hetzelfde, maar vanuit de gemeenschappelijkheid van de Islam en de rol van de wetenschappers die daar bijeen kwamen uit heel de Levant, maar in het bijzonder ook vanuit Perzïë en India. Door hen werden wiskunde en astronomie op het hoogste niveau beoefend. Onze 'Arabische getallen' hebben via Bagdad hun oorsprong in het India van die jaren. Tweede boek: 'When Lions Roar' van Thomas Maier (Crown, 784 p.) Ook dit boek gaat over dynastieën op meerdere continenten. De families Churchill en Kennedy konden nauwelijks meer van elkaar verschillen in achtergrond, politieke opvattingen en familiegeschiedenis, maar werden als magneten tot elkaar aangetrokken. Conflicten, politieke heibel, spionage, zakelijke deals, vriendschappen en liefdesaffaires vullen dit boek over die 'brullende leeuwen'. En als derde hoofdpersoon op de achtergrond speelt president Franklin D. Roosevelt een cruciale rol. Verrassende figuren komen in het boek naar voren, zoals Pamela Digby die van geliefde schoondochter van Churchill uiteindelijk via allerlei affaires en huwelijken een van de invloedrijkste politieke fundraisers werd voor de Democraten in Amerika. Haar 'ontdekking' was Bill Clinton. En de Griekse reder Aristoteles Onassis was een vriend en reisgenoot van de oude Winston Churchill en op zijn jacht reisde niet alleen Maria Callas mee, maar ook het jonge echtpaar JFK en Jackie. Later zou zij hem trouwen. Derde boek: 'Maria Theresa - Empress' van Richard Bassett (Yale University Press, 520 p.) Nog een dynastie en persoonlijkheid van de buitencategorie. De Habsburgse keizerin Maria Theresa - zij regeerde van 1740 tot 1780 - was een van de machtigste en boeiendste vrouwen van haar tijd. Zij moest als 23-jarige letterlijk vechten om haar vader te kunnen opvolgen en zijn erflanden te regeren. Daartoe behoorden Oostenrijk, Hongarije, grote delen van de Balkan, Bohemen, Moravië en Silezië, grote delen van Noord-Italië en het huidige België. Maria Theresa overleefde die strijd met panache en werd een belangrijk hervormer van het bestuur, de wetgeving, economie en financiën en zeer in het bijzonder het onderwijs aan haar onderdanen. Een van haar opvallendste eigenschappen was haar bijna onfeilbaar oog voor talent. En daarbij was zij allesbehalve eenkennig. Zelfs een Hongaarse wees die haar als roeier opviel, protegeerde zij en liet hem zijn talenten ontdekken, waardoor hij een van haar belangrijkste raadsheren werd. Haar politieke gevoel deed haar aan het eind van haar leven grote zorgen hebben over de Amerikaanse revolutie tegen koning George III. Indringend waarschuwde zij haar dochter Marie Antoinette voor wat zij in Frankrijk zag opdoemen. Had zij maar beter naar haar moeder geluisterd. Vierde boek: 'De Groote Vrede' van Wim de Wagt (Boom, 446 p.) Na de val van dynastieën als de Habsburgers en Romanovs werd Europa in Versailles geheel heringedeeld. Dit leidde tot grote onrust over de toekomst van die nieuwe staten en hun oudere buren. Dat werd de bron van een golf van idealisme om in die toekomst een verenigd Europa te laten ontstaan. Juist vanuit het neutrale Nederland werden vele impulsen daaraan gegeven. Opmerkelijk was de rol van captains of industry die zo'n eenwording als de oplossing zagen voor de economische ravage die Versailles had veroorzaakt. Hendrik Colijn was de meest gezaghebbende vanuit die kringen en werd nimmer moe wereldwijd te pleiten voor een douane-unie, afschaffing van handelstarieven en de belemmeringen van de nieuwe grenzen op het Europese continent. Een hoofdpersoon in dit boek is de Franse staatsman Aristide Briand, die vurig werkte aan verzoening met de Duitsers en een soort Interne Markt probeerde te vormen als een Jacques Delors avant la lettre. Het idealisme en de inzet werden niet beloond. Autoritaire heersers en wraakgevoelens zouden Europa nog een tweede keer verwoesten, maar na 1945 werden de lessen uit dat eerdere ideaal concreet gemaakt. Vijfde boek: 'A Village in the Third Reich' van Julia Boyd (Pegasus, 412 p.) Dat stadje is Oberstdorf in het zuiden van Beieren. Klassiek Alpendorp van boeren en burgers, behoudend, rooms en gehecht aan tradities. Maar dankzij de wintersport ook economisch, cultureel en menselijk verbonden met heel Europa, vooral de rijke toeristen. Hoe het nationaalsocialisme in die gemeenschap doordrong, de dictatuur ging overheersen en angst en wegkijken domineerden wordt in menselijke lotgevallen zichtbaar. De mensen leerden bidden "Lieber Gott, mach mich stumm, daß ich nicht in Dachau kumm.' Het stadje was niettemin ook trots op de overwinningen van zijn bergjagers in de Wehrmacht, al kostte hun alpinistische stunt in de Kaukasus hen bijna het leven, omdat Hitler woedend was. In Oberstdorf poogde men de dictatuur te overleven door elkaar waar mogelijk te beschermen, ook de joodse dorpsgenoten. Een unieke rol speelde daarbij een Nederlandse gravin, die verbonden was aan Koningin Wilhelmina. Haar kindersanatorium werd een schuilplaats voor vervolgden. Zesde boek: 'Dissonanten in het Concertgebouw' van Albert van der Schoot (Noordboek, 560 p.) Politiek en Klassieke Muziek, de luisteraars van Betrouwbare Bronnen zijn wel vertrouwd geraakt aan de innige relaties tussen die twee. Dit boek zit vol fascinerend verhalen, momenten, figuren en incidenten in die kunsttempel van onze hoofdstad. Want het gebouw wordt vaak benut voor alle mogelijke manifestaties, die ook recent nog tot heftig gedoe aanleiding gaven. Een paar voorbeelden slechts: de communistische herdenking in 1924 van Lenin bij zijn dood of het 25-jarig jubileumfeest om paus Leo XIII, de man van Rerum Novarum, in 1903 te vieren. De manifestatie voor de 70e verjaardag van Domela Nieuwenhuis in 1916 en die van de NSB in zomer 1944 om ‘trouwbetuiging aan den Führer’ te tonen na de bomaanslag op zijn leven. Ook de muziek zelf kon politieke heftige controverses opleveren. Zo weigerde het rode koor Stem des Volks in 1934 het Wilhelmus te zingen en was er een epische ruzie met Cosima Wagner die de opera 'Parsifal' van haar echtgenoot weigerde te laten uitvoeren in Amsterdam. Stalin had het niet van een vreemde toen Dmitri Sjostakovitsj' opera hem in 1936 niet beviel! *** Verder luisteren Bij boek 1 203 - Karel de Grote. https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/1f66b01c-d62a-44f3-98ba-5ef8684a81da 363 - Zomerboeken met Dan Jones over de globalisering in de Middeleeuwen https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/d834c464-00ed-45f6-9018-6ab7f8536e29 262 - India in de geschiedenis https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/8e738070-a079-4411-ab30-8546d29083fc 311 - De wereld volgens Simon Sebag Montefiore https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/caaa9aac-ea36-4633-9460-74da8adf4c2f Bij boek 2 479 - Winston Churchill.

Unsafe Nigeria; Gumi Describes US Military Action In Sokoto A Terrorist Acthttps://osazuwaakonedo.news/unsafe-nigeria-gumi-describes-us-military-action-in-sokoto-a-terrorist-act/#Issues #Gumi #Omokri #Sokoto #Sowore #Tinubu #Trump #US ©December 26th, 2025 ®December 27, 2025 12:14 am One of the most talked about Islamic Preachers in Nigeria who have had photographs with people suspected to be terrorists; terrorizing villages and communities in the Northern part of Nigeria when he visited the suspected terrorists in their camps inside forests on the ground of having peace talk with the armed groups, Sheikh Ahmad Abubakar Mahmud Gumi has described as a terrorist act the United States, US military action ordered by President Donald Trump that attacked and killed yet to be ascertained total numbers of ISIS affiliated Lakurawa terrorists in Sokoto State on Christmas Day, this, the Islamic Cleric called on the people in the villages affected by the US missiles' strikes on Thursday night to post on social media platforms evidences of damages caused by the US military action,   according to Gumi, it is inline with the teaches of Islam for terrorists to be killed, but, the killing must be done by people with a clean and holy hands, and "not by another terrorist whose hands are stained with the blood of hundreds of thousands of innocent children, women, and men just recently", stressing that, the US involvement in the fight against terrorism in Nigeria will make the country becomes an enemy of its neighbours, a theatre of war, because the involvement will attract the real anti-US Forces into the West Africa country, and in a manner that looked like mockery, Sheikh Gumi said "dropping a few bombs here and there cannot tackle the menace of terror; they need serious military on the ground, which, if we are serious, we have enough men to do that", in contrary to Gumi's assertions, the Nigeria Government, through the office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar said it was President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Thursday that gave the US the approval to carry out the strikes against the terrorists, but the government statement apparently did not go down well with Omoyele Sowore, a human rights activist and the founder of SaharaReporters news media, who insisted that "it is evident that the strikes were carried out without the genuine authority or informed consent of the weaklings masquerading as government under Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu", and in a swift reaction to Omoyele Sowore, one of the recently nominated and confirmed Ambassador-Designate, Reno Omokri said "I am afraid I will have to disagree with Mr Omoyele Sowore, and others like him, who are misinforming the Nigerian public that the recent actions against terrorists are proof that Nigeria lacks sovereignty, Such views are indicative of a lack of awareness of international relations, It is also wrong for Mr Sowore to call our government and military weak". #OsazuwaAkonedoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/osazuwaakonedo--4980924/support.Kindly support us for more productivity and efficiency in news delivery.Visit our donation page: DonateYou can also use our Mobile app for more news in different formats: CLICK TO DOWNDLOAD ON GOOGLE PLAY STORE

Polling result exposes the problem—not to attack people, but to show how misinformation about slavery is used to assign collective guilt to people who had nothing to do with it. History is clear: slavery existed across civilizations for millennia, and it was Western legal institutions that formally abolished it where they held power. Turning history into a blame narrative isn't education—it's dehumanization, the same tool every regime uses before justifying coercion. You don't fix the past by lying about it.

But the original Islamic sources tell a very different story. In this critical biography, I break down Muhammad's life chronologically - his upbringing, his rise to power and political scandals you've never heard of before. It's Islam's own earliest history retold, examined through a secular lens. Created for Ex-Muslim Awareness Month, this video is for anyone questioning the story they were taught, or for non-muslims who've never really heard the full story of Muhammad.

After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – Simon Deng warns that the West faces a growing threat from radical Islam following recent terrorist attacks in the United States, Europe, Israel, and Australia. Drawing on his experience from Sudan, he argues that failed immigration policies and a lack of assimilation are allowing extremist ideologies to spread unchecked across Western societies...

Today on "Stinchfield" we expose the growing danger of radical Islam right here in America. While the media distracts you with political sideshows, radical imams operating within our borders are preaching hatred, sympathizing with Iran, and quietly sowing seeds of extremism in our communities. These are not just fringe voices—they’re part of a dangerous network aligned with America’s enemies, spreading anti-Western ideology and undermining our national security from within. We break down how this threat is being ignored—or even enabled—by woke politicians and a complicit media that would rather brand truth-tellers as “Islamophobic” than confront the real danger. Iran’s influence reaches further than you think, and the United States is asleep at the wheel. What we need now more than ever is Judeo-Christian values. Let's put the 10 Commandments in every classroom in America. Can it be done? Texas is doing it! This is the wake-up call America needs. Bold, unfiltered, and unapologetic—only on Stinchfield.

It's Friday, December 26th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes written by yours truly and heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. Filling in for Adam McManus, I'm Ean Leppin. (Contact@eanvoiceit.com) Christmas for Christians Internationally Hope you and your family had a blessed Christmas Day yesterday!  But in some countries celebrating Christmas is illegal and must be done in secret.  Persecution.org reported what Christians in certain countries risk by acknowledging the Christmas Holiday. In Brunei, in Asia, public displays of Christmas are banned. While Christians are allowed to recognize the holiday inside their homes or churches, they can't hold any public Christmas celebrations. The nation officially banned public Christmas displays in 2014, fearing that they could lead Muslims away from Islam. Muslims found violating the ban, by wearing Santa hats or in some fashion partaking in banned Christmas festivities, could face up to five years in prison. Additionally, Christians are prohibited from spreading the gospel to Muslims. In China, they allow approved groups to hold restricted Christmas celebrations, which vary by region. Individuals younger than 18 years old are forbidden to attend Christmas church celebrations, and authorities continue their campaign to force churches to inject communism into Christian worship. In Iran, Christmas gatherings are allowed in registered churches and approved districts. Small, unregistered house-churches, particularly those of Muslim converts to Christianity, are often raided by authorities.  In November 2025, two individuals who converted to Christianity from Islam began serving a two-year prison sentence for charges related to their participation in a Christian house church. In addition, all church services are forbidden to be conducted in Farsi, Iran's native language. Instead, foreign languages, such as Armenian or Assyrian, are typically used to curb the spread of Christianity to native-born Muslim-Iranians.  Read about other countries in the link on our transcript at www.theworldview.com Ephesians 6:18 says  "praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints" Christians Blocked from Attending Christmas Service in Indonesia Morning Star News reports that Muslims in the West Java Province, Indonesia formed a human wall to block Christians from attending a Christmas service on December 14th.  Videos on social media show police officers and onlookers watching dozens of Muslim men and women holding hands to form a human chain, making anti-Christian comments.  Indonesian society in recent years has adopted a more conservative Islamic character, and churches involved in evangelistic outreach are at risk of being targeted by Islamic extremist groups, according to Open Doors. Nigerian Christian Receives Full Pardon from Death Sentence A Nigerian Christian farmer who was sentenced to death after killing a Fulani radical in self-defense following an attack on his farm has been released from prison after receiving a full pardon according to the Christian Post. Christian rights advocates including US Rep. Riley M Moore of West Virginia are celebrating the release of Sunday Jackson, a student and farmer from the Demsa Local Government Area of Adamawa State, who was sentenced to death in 2021 over a 2015 confrontation on his farm.  Here is Representative Riley M Moore calling attention to this issue to the US House. MOORE: “I would urge the Nigerian government to take a look at pardoning Sunday Jackson, who is an individual who was fighting for his own life, defending his life against one of these Fulani militants. That Fulani militant lost his life in that struggle, and now that person, Sunday Jackson, is facing the death penalty! Where's the justice in that? All these Fulani militants are breaking the law. They are breaking Nigerian law. And so, Sunday Jackson disarms this person with a knife, protects his own life. He's going to prison, and now faces the death penalty, and Fulani militants, just roaming bands of them, with AK-47s, and that's no problem.” Moore went on to say ‘Sunday Jackson is free! After more than a decade in prison serving a death sentence for defending himself, Sunday Jackson has been pardoned…I have been advocating for Sunday's release both in public and in private meetings, including during my recent Congressional Delegation visit to Nigeria.' Psalm 138:7 says, Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me. Woman Dying of Cancer Receives Hundreds of Christmas Cards Good News Network tells of Clare Jones from Wales a mother of 3 who was told her cancer was no longer responding to treatment and given months to live made a simple request on Facebook she said, ‘After finding out last week that this is probably going to be my last Christmas.  I am looking for ways to make it super special!  I'm a simple person who likes simple things.  I love Christmas Cards!  I would love to have lots of cards this year!...when you are doing your cards could you pop an extra one for me?' That post was shared 10,000 times and her mailbox has received hundreds of cards this holiday season.  Many of the cards contain show and movie tickets, vouchers for camping trips, free flights and other gifts.  Jones told the BBC ‘I have many people around me who care for me.  If love could cure cancer, I would be cured.'

Harrison Berger interviews Tucker Carlson about his recent speech at TPUSA's AmFest and the backlash to it from Conservative Inc. The conversation examines Islamophobia on the American right, Carlson's MLK-style rejection of identity politics emphasized in his recent shows and speeches, and his latest designation as "Antisemite of the Year" by a pro-Israel censorship organization.

Today’s show is a no-holds-barred examination of the philosophical and cultural spine of Western civilization—and why it’s cracking. Josh Hammer and Melanie Phillips, author of the new book, "The Builders Stone", sound the alarm on the rapid erosion of Judeo-Christian values, exposing how radical ideologies are undermining the very foundations that built the West. They lay out the indispensable contributions of Judaism and Christianity to our moral and political order, dissect the geopolitical chaos we now face, and argue why reconnecting with these principles is not optional but essential for survival. The conversation also confronts the hard question of Islam’s compatibility with Western norms and digs into the cultural and ideological battles that will determine the future of the West.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For more than fourteen centuries Islamic terror has spread throughout all civilization. From the rise of Muhammad in the 7th century, through the early jihad conquests, the Battle of Yarmouk, the Ottoman Empire, and into the modern era, the historical record shows an unbroken trajectory of ideological, military, and cultural confrontation.Historian Raymond Ibrahim, this teaching traces the development of jihad as a permanent doctrine within Islam and examines how Christian nations, empires, and cities were repeatedly pressured, harassed, conquered, or forced into submission. Primary sources, Muslim chroniclers, Western historians, and eyewitness accounts—from Byzantine manuscripts to Mark Twain's 19th-century observations, confirm that this was not a series of isolated incidents, but a sustained historical pattern.This is not merely a historical lesson, this is a warning. Scripture mentions the very threat that deception can masquerade as light, and that spiritual battles must be confronted with spiritual authority. History demonstrates what happens when warning signs are ignored. Prayer, discernment, and engagement are not optional; they are essential.Receive the Truth, Recognize the patterns, and exercise prayerful authority. Silence has never stopped spiritual advance. Vigilance, truth, and prayer have always been the answer.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Urdu Friday Sermon delivered by Khalifa-tul-Masih on December 26th, 2025 (audio)

How should Christians actually respond to the growing presence of Islam in the West? Fear, anger, and hostility dominate cultural conversations—but is that response biblical?In this video, we take a hard, honest look at Christian reactions to Muslim migration and ask whether they align with the teachings of Jesus. Drawing directly from Scripture, we explore what the Bible says about loving your enemies, doing good to those who oppose you, and recognizing every person—Muslim included—as made in the image of God.Rather than reacting out of fear or politics, Jesus calls Christians to be better. What does it look like to love Muslims without compromising Christian truth? How should believers engage Islam with conviction, humility, and compassion? Love—not hostility—is the most powerful witness that leads others to Christ.This conversation is for Christians who want to think biblically, Believers navigating cultural tension, and anyone struggling with faith or curious about how Christianity responds to real-world issues. If you care about following Jesus faithfully in a divided world, this video is for you.Enjoy!Got any questions or topics you'd like to hear about?

Nothing says Christmas quite like talking about Iranians and drinking. On this Christmas Day edition of Roqe, we revisit one of our most compelling conversations - an exploration of alcohol's long, complicated, and often contradictory place in Iranian and Islamic history. While alcohol is officially forbidden under Islam, it has played a persistent and sometimes conspicuous role across centuries of Persian culture - from ancient wine traditions and mystical poetry, to royal courts, revolutions, and the underground drinking culture of modern Iran. Our guest is Dr. Rudi Matthee, professor of Middle Eastern history at the University of Delaware and a leading authority on early modern Iran. His new book, Angels Tapping at the Wine Shop's Door, examines the hidden, contested, and enduring history of alcohol across the Islamic world. This wide-ranging conversation looks at: The religious prohibition of alcohol and its interpretations Iran's ancient wine culture Alcohol in Persian poetry, art, and mysticism Drinking at royal courts and repeated attempts at prohibition Alcohol before and after the 1979 Revolution Smuggling, homemade wine, and modern contradictions Whether the Islamic world's relationship with alcohol is still evolving A conversation about pleasure and prohibition. Faith and culture. Public rules and private lives. This episode of Roqe is supported by Stellar Law and iWelcome.

In recent days, President Trump has unleashed American military power against jihadists in Syria and Nigeria. Such actions are clearly necessary in light of their intensifying attacks in both countries and demonstrate his commitment that “our country will not allow Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper.” Fulfilling that warranted pledge, however, will require more than symptomatic treatment, important as it is. Prior to his first election to the presidency, Mr. Trump recognized and decried the ideology that animates such jihadism.  And on December 20th, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard underscored the point, declaring that “the greatest near- and long-term threat to both our freedom and our security is…Islamist ideology.”  Fortunately, the President can help counter this toxic ideology systemically by banning the organization that is its preeminent champion and enabler: the Muslim Brotherhood.  Urge him to do so at BantheBrotherhood.org.  This is Frank Gaffney.

In contemporary Indonesia the idea that Islam and Marxism are inherently incompatible has become deeply entrenched. However, as Lin Hongxuan's work Ummah Yet Proletariat: Islam, Marxism, and the Making of the Indonesian Republic (Oxford University Press, 2023) shows, the relationship between them in Indonesian history is deeply intertwined. Based on a wealth of Indonesian language sources, Lin traces over the half century between 1915 and 1965 how Islam and Marxism coexisted and converged in the Netherlands Indies and newly independent Indonesia. In addition to reframing Indonesian ideological history, the book also helpfully emphasises key actors' engagement with broader intellectual currents to situate them in a global historical context.

Send us a textWhat if Christmas is less about a date on the calendar and more about a birth that can happen within you right now?In this Christmas reflection, we explore Christ Consciousness as a lived experience - not a religious performance, but a way of being rooted in presence, compassion, unity, and love. This episode invites a gentle return to what is already whole within you, especially in a season that can feel both meaningful and complex.We connect this message to a wider chorus of wisdom across spiritual traditions - from Buddha Nature in Buddhism, Krishna Consciousness in Hinduism, and remembrance and surrender in Islam, to devekut in Judaism, flow in Taoism, and earth-based traditions of kinship with life. Different languages, same center: nothing sacred is missing from you.We also unpack the often-misread teaching, “the kingdom of heaven is within you,” and bring it into everyday life - how you speak to yourself, how you breathe through tension, and how you choose gentleness when old patterns pull toward self-judgment.Whether this season feels joyful, quiet, heavy, or complicated, you're not alone. This episode offers simple, grounded reflections for embodying love over fear, unity over separation, and compassion over judgment, especially toward yourself.This is not a sermon. It's a reminder.A reminder of how Jesus lived - refusing exclusion, meeting others with love, and seeing worth in all. And an invitation to let presence do the heavy lifting, turning rituals into remembrance and longing into belonging.If this reflection resonates, follow the podcast, share it with someone who may need a gentle word today, and leave a review to help others find their way home.

Met Jezus kun je alle kanten op: hij is mens én god, geboren uit Maria én uit God de Vader. In de middeleeuwen werd hij vereerd als keizer van het heelal, maar ook intens lijdend afgebeeld, aan het kruis. In de Islam is Jezus de belangrijkste profeet na Mohammed, en ook zonder dat je gelovig bent, kan je in hem de eerste socialist zien, een inspirerende revolutionair of zelfs een feminist.Maar hier, in Onbehaarde Apen, kijken we naar de historische Jezus.Hendrik Spiering, wetenschapsredacteur en historicus, behandelt in dit speciale drieluik voor Pasen drie vragen: Wat weten we over het leven van Jezus? Met welke profeten concurreerde hij? En hoe werd nou juist deze prediker, later, volkomen God?Presentatie: Hendrik SpieringProductie: Mirjam van ZuidamMontage: Yeppe van KesterenFoto: Getty ImagesDe muziek in dit drieluik werd gespeeld door het Dudok Quartet. In het vierde pianoconcert van Beethoven hoorde u ook pianist Hannes Minnaar en altvioliste Simone van der Giessen. Verder speelde het Dudok Quartet muziek van Balogh Kalman en Ligeti.Voor dit drieluik put Hendrik vooral uit werk van de Amerikaan John P. Meier, die nog altijd werkt aan zijn schitterende serie boeken ‘A Marginal Jew, Rethinking the historical Jesus'. Ook aan te bevelen zijn de boeken van de gewetensvolle Brit E.P. Sanders en die van de wat meer baldadige Amerikaan Bart Ehrman.Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Imam Mohammad Tawhidi breaks down the “72 virgins” narrative, explaining its historical, cultural, and symbolic context. He argues extremist interpretations exploit early societal realities, while Islam's core message remains ethics, piety, and moral responsibility, not fantasy rewards.

Imam Mohammad Tawhidi explains how the Prophet Muhammad is misunderstood in the West, outlining Islam's focus on monotheism, ethics, and reason. He directly addresses the Aisha controversy, challenges extremist narratives, and argues faith must withstand logic, history, and moral scrutiny.

Bryan responds to ODNI Director Tulsi Gabbard's assessment of Islamist ideology by laying out his own top three dangers to the United States: China as the foremost existential threat, followed by the Radical Left's push to "re-imagine" the Constitution, and then radical Islam, which he argues was empowered by failed immigration and assimilation policies. The episode then turns to hope and resilience. Responding to listener concerns about losing faith in the American experiment, Bryan points to the broad, multi-ethnic coalition that rejected open borders, rising crime, and economic fragility. He argues that while political battles are far from over, Americans have reclaimed their ability to speak freely, organize, and push back against forces that seek to dismantle the country's founding principles. The second half of the episode pulls back the curtain on the podcast itself. Bryan explains what differentiates The Wright Report from other shows, why he limits advertising, how foreign influence operations can target podcasters, and what drives his long-term vision. He closes with personal reflections on purpose, legacy, family, faith, and why he has no intention of returning to Washington, choosing instead to keep building something independent and mission-driven.    "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Wright Report holiday series, listener submitted questions, Tulsi Gabbard national security, China threat USA, radical left ideology, radical Islam threat, American identity debate, immigration assimilation, free speech podcasting, foreign influence operations, independent media, faith and legacy

Plus, much more.
