Taking the cross to E
ach year hundreds of thousands visit the tomb of Mohammed, the prophet of Islam. A Muslim once told a Christian, “When we Muslims go to Medina we can at least see a coffin. When you Christians go to Jerusalem, all you have is an empty grave.” And the Christian responded, “Yes, but that’s the whole point!” The hope that is represented by that empty grave can be the hope for the Muslims as well. About 20 percent of the world’s population, over one billion people, is Islamic. And the numbers are growing. Muslims are a very devout, sincere, dedicated people. Their faith is built on the “Five Pillars of Islam,” which include prayer five times a day and a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in their lifetime. But even if they do all of this religiously, there is no guarantee they will enter heaven. In Islam, judgment is based on the arbitrary will of Allah, which nobody can predict. Muslims believe that Allah can nullify his old statements with new ones, and that he is not bound by his revelations. One Muslim scholar said, “God is absolutely free and unrestricted, even in the realm 4
of truth. He is free to abrogate the truth of earlier revelations by subsequently revealed truths. He is free to judge the same act as good in one circumstance, and evil in another according to the situation.” That explains a lot! The very god they serve changes his mind! This is totally different from how we understand God. We understand God to be consistent. We understand the Bible to be a perfect source of revelation, absolute and inerrant. We follow a savior, Jesus Christ, who is “the same yesterday, today and forever.” And God Himself said, “For I am the Lord; I do not change” (Malachi 3:6). For Muslims, the only exception to the arbitrary nature of Allah is that if they die in service to him, no matter whether they’re good or bad, they are instantly admitted to paradise. That explains some of the violent events in the world. Yet, there are many stories of Muslims converting to Christ. In fact, 667 Muslims are converted to Christ every hour! A rich Kuwaiti named Ibrahim was a very devout Muslim, but he had never experienced peace and had attempted suicide four times. On a trip he was suffering from insomnia, and a Gideon
the crescent moon Bible directed him to the verse that says “God gives his beloved sleep” (see Psalm 127). He said, “If you’re the God of this book, give me sleep.” That night, he slept like a baby. When he gave his heart to Jesus Christ his family rejected him, but years later his father told him, “I know
If you ever say, “He’ll never come to Christ,” you presume too much, and you believe too little.
of Jesus calling him to come out. As he did, his father’s house crumbled before his eyes. Soon after, he gave his life to Christ. He said, “I think the supernatural intervention of God was the cue to cause me to wake up.” These stories prove that no one, under any circumstances, is beyond the reach of the gospel! We must view each person as a salvation possibility. There are no restrictions on the power of the Holy Spirit. No matter what, God can break through.
your God is real because for 10 years all our plans to harm you have failed.”
In your mind, are there “impossible cases”? If you ever say, “He’ll never come Mustafa from Yemen was a radical Muslim to Christ,” you presume too much, and who as a teenager had developed a real you believe too little. Saul of Tarsus was hatred for Christians. He burned down a an “impossible case,” but God worked an Christian church in his village and stole incredible conversion. There’s not anyone, from Christians, all under the banner anywhere, in any circumstance, who is of “jihad.” “I was filled with hatred for beyond the reach of God. Every person Christians,” he said. “Christians have no is a spiritual opportunity that may be rights.” Later, God got hold of his life, and disguised as an impossibility. now he serves Christ. God can work supernaturally, but He loves Daniel Shayesteh was part of the radical to use us. Even as He called Ananias Islamic coup that took over Iran in 1979. to minister to Paul, God can use us. So He said, “When you read the Quran, it take down the banners of “impossible” says that you must destroy other religions, and “unreachable.” What opportunities lie Jews and Christians.” In a dream, he was ahead of us! in his father’s house, and heard the voice 5

Nineteen Al-Qaeda terrorists take control of four commercial passenger jet airliners. Between 8:46 and 10:03 a.m., New York City is shaken by the fall of the Twin Towers, the Pentagon receives a shocking blow to its west side, and Shanksville, PA becomes the crash site of a foiled attack, presumably on the U.S. Capitol or the White House. Al-Qaeda has reared its ugly face, and the Muslim world becomes the target of blame and social intolerance. Prior to these attacks the Christian community paid little attention to Islam, mentioning it sparsely in sermons on cults and lost causes. But with the pain of 9/11, did we go from ignoring to hating the lost? Just as misconceptions are
...with the pain of 9/11, did we go from ignoring to hating the lost? common with the Christian faith, so we all too often believe the “word on the street” about Islam. M88 covered this topic with an instructive interview between Yo Snyder, host of Raw Talk, and Ron Rhodes, author of “The 10 Things You Need To Know About Islam.” So what do we need to know about this religion? And will this knowledge better our understanding so that we might effectively and boldly share the mystery of the Gospel as we are called (Eph. 6:19-20)? The greatest points made during the interview can be taken and applied to all situations when sharing your faith. There is a vital need to strengthen your personal faith, to intelligently dialogue and be informed, and to have the right mindset of love and respect in your approach. As Ron and Yo covered the “10 Things,” including areas of unity and diversity among Muslims, their quest for salvation, the nature of Allah, and even what Muslims believe about the Bible, heaven, and hell, we were given a lot to think about. In the end, an acceptance of Islam or an arrogant verbal war against a

Second Corinthians 4:7 says, “But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this allsurpassing power is from God and not from us.” Pastor Pancho Juarez can certainly testify to the truth of that verse. One of the greatest ways God demonstrates His power is through His use which he is a prime example.
P R O F I L E by: Yo Snyder
Pancho Juarez here was a time when no one would have suspected that one day Pancho Juarez would be the senior pastor of a thriving Christian ministry. After his dishonorable discharge from the Marine Corps and his service in the Vietnam War, Pancho returned to the US to, as he puts it, “make up for the years I "+ with alcohol and drug abuse, a life that rapidly deteriorated as he struggled with emotional and mental issues as well as his addictions.

A year later, the same woman, his former girlfriend, invited Pancho to a rock concert in a place he never = $ church called Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa. That night in 1975 proved to be the turning point in Pancho’s life
as he was touched by all he heard and saw, and also gave his life to the man named Jesus. Pancho matured quickly in Christ, overcame his inability to read, married his girlfriend and eventually found himself studying under Pastor Raul Ries. In 1989, Pancho felt a calling to return to his high school hometown of Montebello, California, to begin a ministry of his own. The small home fellowship he started has blossomed into a thriving church community serving over 3000 adults and over 1000 kids on a weekly basis. Pastor Pancho ministers to many more through his daily radio ministry called On The Level.

n April of 1979, the Ayatollah Khomeini stepped on the tarmac of the Tehran airport. He was returning from exile in Iran, and his arrival signaled the start of a modern Islamic revolution. No one could have predicted that this event would eventually ripple across the world and result in bombings, killings and violent Jihad. High hopes swept the Muslim world as Sharia law was enforced by the Iranian High Council. History now records the cataclysmic changes that radical Islam delivered to the doorstep of the west from London to Madrid to New York. A sort of global shock set in as the psychology became clear.

Taking the cross to E
ach year hundreds of thousands visit the tomb of Mohammed, the prophet of Islam. A Muslim once told a Christian, “When we Muslims go to Medina we can at least see a coffin. When you Christians go to Jerusalem, all you have is an empty grave.” And the Christian responded, “Yes, but that’s the whole point!” The hope that is represented by that empty grave can be the hope for the Muslims as well. About 20 percent of the world’s population, over one billion people, is Islamic. And the numbers are growing. Muslims are a very devout, sincere, dedicated people. Their faith is built on the “Five Pillars of Islam,” which include prayer five times a day and a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in their lifetime. But even if they do all of this religiously, there is no guarantee they will enter heaven. In Islam, judgment is based on the arbitrary will of Allah, which nobody can predict. Muslims believe that Allah can nullify his old statements with new ones, and that he is not bound by his revelations.

of truth. He is free to abrogate the truth of earlier revelations by subsequently revealed truths. He is free to judge the same act as good in one circumstance, and evil in another according to the situation.” That explains a lot! The very god they serve changes his mind! This is totally different from how we understand God. We understand God to be consistent. We understand the Bible to be a perfect source of revelation, absolute and inerrant. We follow a savior, Jesus Christ, who is “the same yesterday, today and forever.” And God Himself said, “For I am the Lord; I do not change” (Malachi 3:6). For Muslims, the only exception to the arbitrary nature of Allah is that if they die in service to him, no matter whether they’re good or bad, they are instantly admitted to paradise. That explains some of the violent events in the world. Yet, there are many stories of Muslims converting to Christ. In fact, 667 Muslims are converted to Christ every hour! A rich Kuwaiti named Ibrahim was a very devout Muslim, but he had never experienced peace and had attempted suicide four times. On a trip he was suffering from insomnia, and a Gideon
the crescent moon Bible directed him to the verse that says “God gives his beloved sleep” (see Psalm 127). He said, “If you’re the God of this book, give me sleep.” That night, he slept like a baby. When he gave his heart to Jesus Christ his family rejected him, but years later his father told him, “I know
If you ever say, “He’ll never come to Christ,” you presume too much, and you believe too little.
of Jesus calling him to come out. As he did, his father’s house crumbled before his eyes. Soon after, he gave his life to Christ. He said, “I think the supernatural intervention of God was the cue to cause me to wake up.” These stories prove that no one, under any circumstances, is beyond the reach of the gospel! We must view each person as a salvation possibility. There are no restrictions on the power of the Holy Spirit. No matter what, God can break through.
your God is real because for 10 years all our plans to harm you have failed.”
In your mind, are there “impossible cases”? If you ever say, “He’ll never come Mustafa from Yemen was a radical Muslim to Christ,” you presume too much, and who as a teenager had developed a real you believe too little. Saul of Tarsus was hatred for Christians. He burned down a an “impossible case,” but God worked an Christian church in his village and stole incredible conversion. There’s not anyone, from Christians, all under the banner anywhere, in any circumstance, who is of “jihad.” “I was filled with hatred for beyond the reach of God. Every person Christians,” he said. “Christians have no is a spiritual opportunity that may be rights.” Later, God got hold of his life, and disguised as an impossibility. now he serves Christ. God can work supernaturally, but He loves Daniel Shayesteh was part of the radical to use us. Even as He called Ananias Islamic coup that took over Iran in 1979. to minister to Paul, God can use us. So He said, “When you read the Quran, it take down the banners of “impossible” says that you must destroy other religions, and “unreachable.” What opportunities lie Jews and Christians.” In a dream, he was ahead of us! in his father’s house, and heard the voice 5

Nineteen Al-Qaeda terrorists take control of four commercial passenger jet airliners. Between 8:46 and 10:03 a.m., New York City is shaken by the fall of the Twin Towers, the Pentagon receives a shocking blow to its west side, and Shanksville, PA becomes the crash site of a foiled attack, presumably on the U.S. Capitol or the White House. Al-Qaeda has reared its ugly face, and the Muslim world becomes the target of blame and social intolerance. Prior to these attacks the Christian community paid little attention to Islam, mentioning it sparsely in sermons on cults and lost causes. But with the pain of 9/11, did we go from ignoring to hating the lost? Just as misconceptions are
...with the pain of 9/11, did we go from ignoring to hating the lost? common with the Christian faith, so we all too often believe the “word on the street” about Islam. M88 covered this topic with an instructive interview between Yo Snyder, host of Raw Talk, and Ron Rhodes, author of “The 10 Things You Need To Know About Islam.” So what do we need to know about this religion? And will this knowledge better our understanding so that we might effectively and boldly share the mystery of the Gospel as we are called (Eph. 6:19-20)? The greatest points made during the interview can be taken and applied to all situations when sharing your faith. There is a vital need to strengthen your personal faith, to intelligently dialogue and be informed, and to have the right mindset of love and respect in your approach. As Ron and Yo covered the “10 Things,” including areas of unity and diversity among Muslims, their quest for salvation, the nature of Allah, and even what Muslims believe about the Bible, heaven, and hell, we were given a lot to think about. In the end, an acceptance of Islam or an arrogant verbal war against a

Second Corinthians 4:7 says, “But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this allsurpassing power is from God and not from us.” Pastor Pancho Juarez can certainly testify to the truth of that verse. One of the greatest ways God demonstrates His power is through His use which he is a prime example.
P R O F I L E by: Yo Snyder
Pancho Juarez here was a time when no one would have suspected that one day Pancho Juarez would be the senior pastor of a thriving Christian ministry. After his dishonorable discharge from the Marine Corps and his service in the Vietnam War, Pancho returned to the US to, as he puts it, “make up for the years I "+ with alcohol and drug abuse, a life that rapidly deteriorated as he struggled with emotional and mental issues as well as his addictions. The ! and rejection was when his girlfriend dumped him for another man, a man named Jesus Christ. A year later, the same woman, his former girlfriend, invited Pancho to a rock concert in a place he never = $ church called Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa. That night in 1975 proved to be the turning point in Pancho’s life
as he was touched by all he heard and saw, and also gave his life to the man named Jesus. Pancho matured quickly in Christ, overcame his inability to read, married his girlfriend and eventually found himself studying under Pastor Raul Ries. In 1989, Pancho felt a calling to return to his high school hometown of Montebello, California, to begin a ministry of his own. The small home fellowship he started has blossomed into a thriving church community serving over 3000 adults and over 1000 kids on a weekly basis. Pastor Pancho ministers to many more through his daily radio ministry called On The Level.

n April of 1979, the Ayatollah Khomeini stepped on the tarmac of the Tehran airport. He was returning from exile in Iran, and his arrival signaled the start of a modern Islamic revolution. No one could have predicted that this event would eventually ripple across the world and result in bombings, killings and violent Jihad. High hopes swept the Muslim world as Sharia law was enforced by the Iranian High Council. History now records the cataclysmic changes that radical Islam delivered to the doorstep of the west from London to Madrid to New York. A sort of global shock set in as the psychology became clear.
