Kameel Majdali's Road Ahead

INTRODUCTION He came from the humblest of professions: Caring for the sycamore-figs and the sheep. His town was an obscure village called Tekoa at the edge of the Judaean wilderness. No formal training, no recognised credentials, no great connections. Yet God appointed, anointed, and sent him to a neighbouring nation with heavy tidings. Their bribery, corrupt legal system, and failure to righty distribute wealth - not to mention their gross idolatry -   was causing them to head towards judgment. He accurately predicted the exile of that nation (7:11; II Kings 17). His prophecy and writings have an honour place among the Old Testament prophets and have greatly influenced our attitude towards justice - God’s way. The man and the book is called Amos. We are going to learn why this book is worth studying. ‘Justice’ is a notion being thrown around in our age. Though it speaks about fairness and equality, it has all the hallmarks of redistribution of private property a...

But he giveth more grace . Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up — James 4:6-10 (emphases mine) In our previous article, we began to look at how can we respond to God’s call in a practical manner. It was and still is based on James 4:6-10. Key points so far included grace and submission to God. In this, the 8th and final article of the ‘Call of God Series,’ we continue and conclude learning the practical steps to responding to the Lord’s call in an honourable and effective manner. 1.        Humble yourselves (4:10) : W...

And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: 12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.— Luke 12:12 In our previous article, we began to look at the steps you should take if you must respond to a leftist/progressive argument. As we learned from the Book of Proverbs, there are times when wisdom decrees no response, while others times we should. Unless you are a politician or debater, much of the time silence is golden. Yet, there could come a time where you have no choice; in that case, your response should be straight and strong, clear, calm, and robust. Remember the other side is not your real enemy so don’t treat them as such. Yet, don’t let them walk over you, either. 1.        Don’t allow them to interrupt you: You gave them a fair hearing, demand to be given the same. Do not allow brow-beati...

Franklin Graham, son of Billy Graham, called for a day of prayer for US President Donald Trump on June 2nd 2019. Mr. Trump has been under a heavy barrage from a variety of opponents: Congressional Democrats who are eager, if not desperate, to impeach him; the Deep State of entrenched bureaucrats and high-up government officials who feel their turf is threatened, the mainstream media whose negative coverage is 91%, and even members of his own political party, called by the acronym RINO (Republic In Name Only). Let’s not forget the ‘never-Trumpers,’ too. While all Presidents face opposition, impartial observers following events in the US should admit that Trump’s opposition has gone to a whole new level of ferocity. Hence, the day of prayer. 'He's our president,' Graham added in a Twitter video clip, 'and if he succeeds we all benefit. But if his enemies are allowed to destroy him and pull down the presidency it will hurt our entire nation. ' Graham said...

And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me — Exodus 20:1-3 The 10 Commandments have had a profound affect on the world, particularly western civilisation. This is so even though the average Christian has a hard time quoting some of them. In our series of the Commandments, we seek to understand the commandments, especially in the light of Christ and the New Testament. Let’s begin with the very first one. It can be summarised in three words: no other gods. Exodus 20 begins with he simple phrase: And God spake all these words …. This began as an oral law. God spoke the words of the commandments. God would eventually write with His own figure the words of the commandments on tablets of stone. He would do that twice; since the first set of tablets were deliberately broken by Moses at the foot of Mount Sinai due to Israel’s apostasy invol...
