Kameel Majdali's Road Ahead

This is the fourth part of a series regarding American evangelicals and Donald Trump. This is the voting bloc that made possible his unlikely 2016 election win for the American presidency. While most evangelicals support him, there is a vocal minority who do not - the magazine Christianity Today is one of them.   Are they being principled and Biblical? Or are they judgemental and drifting to the left?   In addition, it is important to understand the bigger picture, which transcends Donald Trump.   The Culture War   Removing prayer from school. Abortion on demand. Redefining marriage and gender. Legalising cannabis. A ‘make-it-up-as-you-go’ morality. Enlarging the size of government and watching the deficit grow as a result. All this, and more, is part of the great cultural civil war of the western world that has been waged since the 1960s. In short, this war is where the left-leaning secular progressives-cultural marxists invaded the power bases of tra...

How to Invoke God’s Name Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain — Exodus 20:7 Since penalties are severe for using God’s Name in vain, how are you to respond? As mentioned above, some might avoid using God’s Name at all, just incase they accidentally misuse it. There are Jewish people who write, ‘G-d,’ which is unpronounceable, just to make sure His name is not use in vain. But is that the correct stance? No. You are encouraged to use God’s Name in a righteous manner. How can you call on the name of the Lord for salvation if your cannot say His name at all? After the birth of Seth’s son Enos, then began me to call upon the name of the LORD - Genesis 4:26 Repeatedly Abraham, the friend of God, called on the name of the LORD - Genesis 12:8; 13:4; 21:33. Isaac did the same (26:25). Solomon built a house for the Name of the LORD God of Israel - I Kings8:20. When the L...

Summary of Micah This Book of Micah is divided into three parts: Part 01 - Chapters 1-3: This section is about the indictment and punishment of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah for idolatry, injustice, immorality, which brought corruption, oppression, bribery, and putrid pride. Both kingdoms would be judged for their sins. Kings, priests, and false prophets were especially culpable for this rampage of sin. Part 02 - Chapters 4-5: From crime and punishment, Hosea speaks about the glories of the coming Messianic kingdom. His words in 4:1-5 mirror Isaiah 2:2-4. In the latter days people worldwide will come to the mountain of the House of the Lord, where God personally will teach people of His ways and they will walk in His paths. This is referring to the Kingdom of Christ and the Lord Himself will do the teaching. Peace and prosperity will be the hallmarks of His reign. Part 03 - Chapter 6-7: This final part is about justice and mercy. It comes across as a courtr...

The Bible and the Foetus  In the series about Issues Facing the Church, I have elaborated a blog sent to my progressivist American niece, who asked for my position on abortion. For a Christian the Bible should be the first place to look for answers to life’s questions. If the Bible is the Word of God - and it is - and if we will be held accountable for what it says - and we will - then these passages regarding life need to be taken at face value Is the Bible really silent on the personhood of the foetus or on when the spirit enters the unborn, as one famous politician claimed? My position : as a born-again Christian and ordained minister, I take an predictably pro-life position. I have no other choice: my understanding of Scripture compels me. •   Jeremiah 1:5 - God spoke to the prophet Jeremiah : Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.’ •   Psalm 139:13-16: There are some incredible statements in this passage. Apparently, the detailed mappin...

It has become the most dramatic and defining situation in our lifetime. More radical, even, than a war or the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). That event is the Covid-19 Coronavirus Pandemic of 2020. While we can and should expect some return to normalcy, there is also the strong possibility that in some aspects the world that we once knew, even as late as December 2019, is gone for good. If one is a world-watcher, the fact that we have international crisis and change should not be surprising. It is a predictable part of the landscape. Yet, how do we navigate through these change-filled, crisis-riddled, and sometimes chaotic times? Especially when the experts, like the rest of us, have never been in this situation before? The answer, which is a question, is disarmingly simple: Is there a word from the Lord? The second question: What is that Word? First, let us examine God’s attitude of communicating with people on earth, which, says Genesis 1:27, are made in His ...
