"Let Your Light Shine" by Richard Smith

A look at the ways in which followers of Christ can wisely respond to the destruction of the New York Trade Centre on Tuesday, 11th September 2001. Richard Smith begins with this thought: "the whole world is in uproar; it is time for true believers of Christ to keep their nerve". Current events will prove to be a rare opportunity for witness and service!

"Islam and Christianity" by Michael C.

Some truths about Islam, Muhammed's followers! Since the recent tragedy at the World Trade Center in NY many Muslim scholars and clerics have come forth on TV, radio, and public meetings, to assure us that Islam itself does not teach its adherents to act in violence. We keep hearing, "the terrorists have hi-jacked Islam". Is this true? Here is a well-researched and thorough document that will help you explore the realities of what we face.

"A Turning Point in History" - by Tricia Tillin

"The New Apostolic Government - What Earthy Good Is It?"

By Sandy Simpson of DITC. An expose of the "Open Memorandum Addressing The Twin Towers War" by C. Peter Wagner who is being called the "Presiding Apostle" of the International Coalition of Apostles.

A Moment For Truth - by Dave Hunt

An external link to Dave Hunt's October newsletter where he says: "In his brief speech to the nation the morning of the 12th, President Bush declared that the attacks on New York and Washington, D.C. were "acts of war." Indeed, they were jihad ("holy war"). He said that "freedom and democracy are under attack [but] we will not allow this enemy to win the war by...restricting our freedoms." Is it a mere coincidence that the freedom of speech, religion, the press, and of vote and conscience which we hold so dear in America are suppressed in every Muslim country?"

"The Towers have Fallen and We Missed the Message"
by David Wilkerson of Times Square Church, NY

This timely message by David Wilkerson of Times Square Church, New York, calls us all to think carefully about the consequences of defying God's call to repentance.

"Run For Your Life!" by Pastor Carter Conlon of Times Square Church

A strong message from the Senior Pastor at David Wilkerson's church. Based on 1 kings chapter 18, he teaches that many are captivated by Baalish religion and we need to say, as did those who fled the falling towers, "run for your life". Although I disagree that we will see times of renewal as people repent, I endorse this call for an undivided heart and a cleansing from all that offends God at this time.

An Alliance Against Evil - by Tricia Tillin

Looking at early reports of the consequences of the WTC attack, it appears that a religious and political union is being formed to confront global terrorism. Is this as good as it sounds?

"What is God saying about the Islamic attacks?" - Yacov Prasch

An article on the Moriel Ministries site. I quote here an introductory comment sent to me by William D. Brehm :...everywhere from the White House to papers sprawled at some of the street memorials around New York, I keep seeing the words, "Islam is not the enemy". For a point of view on this issue that I totally affirm, see this Web page (above). Understand that the man who wrote the page is an international
teacher/evangelist who has been a missionary in Israel and has had direct dealings with Islam. He is also one of the best informed Christians alive insofar as knowing what is going on in the world spiritually. You may not like what he says, but you can be sure that he knows whereof he writes. Face it Christians, we are at war, and not just in the military sense. There is a spiritual war going on in which we are going to have to choose sides. I intend to do what I can to get Christians involved in really fighting it. The point is, as Paul said in Ephesians 6:12, "We struggle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in heavenly places".

Draconian Anti-Terrorist Laws Being Considered - newspaper reports

The fallout from the tragedy continues, and one worrying development is the way Blair and others are preparing to overthrow the Human Rights treaty to introduce even tighter controls on those who are perceived as a threat to society. This could eventually include dissident Christians, in my opinion. There is also talk of compulsory ID cards - and more. Read the newspaper reports here.

"Pat Robertson & Jerry Falwall: Statements"

Two prominent religious leaders issued statements and counter-statements about the terrorist attacks. They then retracted their statements after receiving public criticism. A good example of the confusion gripping the churches at the moment.

President Bush: Text of His Speech

This speech following the WTC disaster, penned by the evangelical Christian who is responsible for many of Bush's public statements to the nation, should make us think about where we are all heading and what are the implications for Christians. (My commentary on this is given in "An Alliance Against Evil" )
