One God, No Borders

This is a hard message, but a true one I believe.  There is only one true God and one avenue to be restored to Him.  There is one primary enemy of that God and he knows that he is ultimately doomed.  This enemy, Satan, works to influence people to keep them from God and to oppose the message of truth that we know as the Gospel.  The real motive behind radical Islam and other false ways is to prevent the spread of the Gospel message to millions of people.  The world is shrinking due to advanced travel and, even more so, due to modern media, like the internet.  So the enemy is concerned that the truth is crossing borders and penetrating hearts in ways that threaten his control.  The message of the Lord is one of love...the message of Satan is one of fear.  The enemy knows that love is far more appealing than fear.  Praise God for those who are praying and for going to the front lines of this battleground, that ultimately millions who are locked in fear will be won to eternal love.

Philippians 1:27 Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel, 28 and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that from God. 29 For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake.

blessings,
Rob Smith
