A gospel of total salvation means we have a total relationship with Jesus.
You know, evangelicals like to ask, “Do you have a personal
relationship with Jesus?” You know how I answer that question today? “I
don’t have a personal relationship with Jesus. I have a
totalrelationship with Jesus.” Personal relationship means it’s an
individualistic, one-on-one relationship, and it’s a private matter.
It’s personal. It’s private. My relationship with Jesus is anything but private. My relationship with
Jesus is not restricted to only my religious life, so to speak. All
areas of my life, the totality of my life, my whole life – body, soul,
mind, feelings – all my life is under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We
serve God not only in church, not only when we pray or lead a Bible
study or evangelize. We serve God with all our lives, whether at work or
play or school.
We need to educate our congregations to be effectively relational in our
“global neighborhood.” We need to try the new Somalian restaurant (for
example) and then invite our friends there to expose them to the
culture of our new neighbours. It is important for Christians to build
cultural awareness that will result to authentic relationships making
them credible witnesses for Jesus Christ . . . . We now have an unprecedented opportunity to introduce the Diasporas to
Jesus Christ and invite them to become part of His Church. With
Lausanne Diasporas, we are proactively responding to this major global
trend of Diasporas and the Diaspora issue will be addressed at Cape Town
2010. Pray that Diaspora Missions will be embraced by the Whole
Church. 
Pastor Terry Jones went from obscure pastor to a worldwide phenomenon
last week because of his foolish plan to burn copies of the Quran.
During this fiasco he kept hiding behind God, saying God was speaking to
him and giving him guidance throughout the entire drama. Pastor Jones
came off ignorant when admitting he has never read the Quran and
revealed gross naiveté by announcing that Imam Rauf agreed to move the
proposed Ground Zero mosque in return for Dove International agreeing
not to burn Qurans. This is in spite of never even speaking once to
Imam Rauf! 
The following is based on numerous personal conversations with Muslims,
personal study, and intensive training I received from a missions
organization in preparation for one month of outreach in a Muslim nation
in 1979.

As I started to pursue the call of God in my life, I was not sure
whether I should be in full time ministry. Two or three years I was in
dilemma about this matter. But the desire to teach and preach the word
of God increased still more. After that I joined in a Bible college
which God directed me to join. A lot of maturity and revelation came to
me those days. God miraculously provided all the fees I needed to finish
it. I found true joy and peace as I obeyed the voice of God. Praise the
Lord! . . . . Even from the day I heard God, the burden to reach out to
the nation of India and China which are the most populated nations and
to the nations with the word of God increased in me. 
Eagles are the only birds that loves the storm. When all other birds try
to flee from the storm and hide itself from the fierceness of it,
eagles fly in to it and will use the wind of the strom to rise higher in
a fraction of seconds. It uses the pressure of the storm to glide
higher without using its own energy. It is able to do this because God
has created it uniquely with an ability to lock its wings in a fixed
position, in the midst of the fierce storm winds. After a certain period
of experiencing storms face to face, the eagles love to play in the
storms. As we
face the stormy wind of afflictions in life, the Holy Spirit helps us
lock our mind in a fixed position with the grace of God through faith in
the finished work of the Cross, which helps us not to spend our energy
but just stay in the storm and enjoy the lift and height of heavenly
mindedness in a greater and greater altitude. 
I had so many odds against me – I do not have any money, I do not have a
passport or a valid birth certificate. I battled in my mind and thought
for many days “Is it possible for me to go to Singapore with nothing in
my hand and on a very short notice?” My father encouraged me with these
words from the book of Romans “The Just Shall Live By Faith” and told
me to read, meditate and pray these words over my life. I took a step of faith and immediately began the process of planning to go to the School of Theology in Singapore.. . . . I totally depended on God for everything – for finances, for a lap-top,
for friends, for food, for travel and living arrangements. God gave me
many good friends from many different countries of the world, provided
for my every need and even a lap-top for my personal use. 
The contribution of Christians to the West is enormous. Christians were
the first the build hospitals. Initially it was mainly for Christians,
later it was for every one. The beneficiaries were the Muslims who
came to Christian lands to conquer them. Christianity produced leaders
like who served the poor and sick, which is unheard in other religions.
Christians have contributed to improve human life and reduce human
suffering. . . . . . The author presents Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour and how Christianity could change a person’s life in the last two chapters. It
is a wonderful book that should be read by all Christian thinkers and
use this book for evangelizing the intellectuals. All Christian
leaders, pastors, missionaries and professionals should read this book.
National and local leaders (like New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg)
are revealing their true views regarding religious freedom, their
willingness to fight or pander to terrorist groups, as well as their
love and respect for the Christian religion. For example, while Mayor
Bloomberg is passionately supporting the building of the Ground Zero
mosque, thus far he has not said anything publicly about helping the
Greek Orthodox people rebuild after their church building was destroyed
when one of the World Trade Center towers collapsed upon it on 9/11. 
By definition, a narcissist is a person who believes the world revolves
around them to such an extent their own desires blind them to relational
reality which makes them insensitive to the needs and perspectives of
others. One of the sad realities in our consumer driven, hedonistic
culture is that we are producing millions of narcissistic people
including leaders of large organizations. Because of our sinful nature as human beings, all of us have some narcissistic tendencies to deal with.
Spiritual need touches every class in India, whether traditional village
farmers who have practiced the ways of their fathers for hundreds of
years, or workers in its new and fast-growing hi-tech industries. In
cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad/Secunderabad and Delhi, a new and
upwardly mobile class represents unique challenges. "The rapid growth of
the high-tech industry in India, provides one of the newest, largest,
and most influencial unreached people groups in the country," according
to Dr. T. Valson Abraham (President of India Gospel Outreach). 
There are millions of deceived people in this nation who believe they
are still following Christ when in fact they are not. What makes it
deceiving is that some are still regularly attending Sunday church
services and/or reading the Bible and praying on occasion. Before
we continue let me first define what I mean in this article by the word
“backslider.” By backslider I mean a person who is losing ground
spiritually and is not as committed to growing, seeking, and loving
Christ as they did at one time in their life. Backsliding is a
spiritual disease that many leaders are afraid to confront and many in
the church are afraid to admit. Some of these signs may fit a
backslider, but in many cases just one of these signs is enough to fit
the category of backslider. 
Moved by the Holy Spirit, the man instantly composed a song which became famous down the years. He sang: 
With nearly half of all new marriages in the West ending in divorce,
more couples are careful before entering into it. They want to make sure
it is the right decision, and they want to do everything they can
within their capacity hoping to increase their chances of marital
success. Before the Wedding Bells is a resource intended for singles who
are pursuing a relationship or for engaged couples counting down to the
big day in their life. This is designed to assist individuals and
couples to develop a deeper understanding of marriage and in developing
skills to navigate their way through marriage successfully. 
Mission-minded churches attempt great things for God and expect great
things from God. There are members who are good at making comments and
criticism about what is and should be happening. As a result there is
undue concern for self maintenance (cleaning nets), rather than obeying
God’s voice or meeting people’s needs. Obedience always leads to
blessing; delayed obedience is disobedience. Faith missions is simply
taking God at his word. Attempt something so great, that it’s doomed to
fail except God be in it! 
Many people in the church are so emotionally incapacitated due to father
or parental wounds they do not have a healthy view of any authority in
their lives. When someone comes to Christ these emotional issues
don’t automatically go away. Unless someone intentionally points out
these areas and aids a person in repenting of their mistrust of
authority, most with these wounds will have a hard time receiving
correction from any form of spiritual authority. Satan will even plant
seeds into the minds of Christians regarding blame shifting (blaming
others for their own sins and failures, and not taking personal
responsibility) when their pastor preaches a strong message involving
correction for sin, or when a spiritual authority has to give them
correction. Some get angry and might even leave the church. 
Yasmeen Suri was born in India to a Sikh family. They moved to America when she was a child. She didn't speak English, and unfortunately, because of her ethnicity, she was the brunt of cruel jokes from the other children. She says, I felt a sense of loss of control of my life. So I
thought the more I could get of knowledge and spiritual experience, the more I would be able to control my environment and the more I would be
able to control people.
