Kameel Majdali's Road Ahead

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...

Now when they bring you to the synagogues and magistrates and authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you should say. 12 For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say Luke 12:11-12 (NKJV) In our timely culture war series, we have been exploring how to respond in a wise manner while simultaneously standing up for what we believe. So far, we have learned the importance of being spiritually strong, treat the opposition as friends rather than adversaries, project confidence and strength, and to keep calm at all times. We now continue to learn some other traits that can help us respond more effectively. Avoid being defensive: If a smattering or barrage of insults are hurled your way - for example, ‘bigot,’ ‘hater,’ ‘sexist,’ ‘racist,’ ‘homophobe,’ ‘islamophobe’ are some of the current terms on offer - do not go on the defensive. This will be interpreted as going on the back foot and even weakness. No need to say t...

REINTERPRETATION OF EVERYTHING We have been exploring the effects of left-leaning progressivism on Christian churches, particularly in the West. Though progressivism is normally and fiercely ‘secular,’ it has made big inroads into some churches. While the change is incremental, the results are large. It starts with a desire to reach the world, often by worldly methods and mindsets. Relevance is a chief goal. After that, the move towards progressive Christianity has a fresh look at Scripture, often resulting in a ‘low-view.’ One progressive Christian leader said that the Bible condones war, slavery in both testaments and relegates women to a second class status. When Scripture is despised and demoted, the ‘little boy’s finger in the Dutch dike’ is removed, and the sea water begins to pour in. In this article, we will explore how progressivism seeks to redefine and interpret everything. In lock-step with postmodernism and progressivism, key phrases and key doctrines of...
