Yale Christian-Muslim declaration

Many Christian founded prestigious colleges today are actually more secular than ever.
Christian Today reported that Barnabas Fund's international director, Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo, a former Muslim, finds fault in such conference, due to the lack of religious identity.

To me, it has been a long time since I first realized that today's Christians, especially with the influence of so many ecumenical events and liberalism, seeking for Babel style world peace as the popular John Lennon's song goes: "Imagine there's no heaven, no religion, etc.", have been anti-Christ movement in disguise. After all, in most western countries, why suffer for the Lord, if I can live in peace and have the freedom of religion.

The suffering the Bible speaks of is more than just religious freedom. The suffering is one that is mandatory since the world is itself a cursed enemy of God. It is the suffering of the followers of the righteous One. I see many young adult Christians in America lacking the urge to further study the Bible, theology, growing in knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But instead, they rather want to convince themselves that they bear the identity of Christians once they had raised their hands at conferences, concerts, etc., and seek to stay in this emotional state. The more emotional they get in this state, the more spiritual they think they have grown. They would consider it their "suffering" if there's any attempt on confiscating such state. Because of the drunken state the western christianity is in today, Dr. Sookhdeo worries the impact on Christian minority in Muslim worlds.

Personally, I do not mind if offerings including many so called outreach ministries from America to Muslim worlds be temporarily halted and deflected back, so that these funds could be used to better American Christianity in Christian education, etc., because apparently, it is needed more than in the Muslim worlds.

In a bigger picture, anyone sober would realize that the Muslims are more pious to Islam than today's Christians to Christianity. But it is just amazing to see the spiritually illiterate state these so called christians are in. In a way, it is a prove of the God's righteousness and man's corrupted state: That without God's true grace, which is in Christ, not a disguised verbal grace, there's no salvation.
