I'd rather live in world ruled by violence than a world ruled by Muslims
A lot of people in the world think that world peace is the ultimate ideal, and I used to be one of them. For a while I thought I had become one of many people who have grown up and had their ideals beaten out of them by reality. But now I realize I'm still idealistic and that I have new ideals. I'm a little more well-informed especially after studying Carl Sagan's Shadows of Forgotten Ancestor's and the Bible. After reading A Case for Faith, by Lee Strobel, I understand the dilemma of free will a lot better. For those of you who want a really entertaining explanation of free will watch Bruce Almighty.

Back to my bold statement: Why I'm picking on Muslims. The most famous group of Muslims now is Al Queda. The most famous muslim now is Osama bin Laden the leader of Al Queda. The mission of his group is to promote Muslim governments. Note, the key distinction between Muslim governments and nations with lots of Muslims in them. In Muslim governments there is no concept of religious freedom, or separation of church and state. Nations with lots of muslims in them are just that. Iraq was not a Muslim government when it was ruled by Saddam Hussein. Likewise Indonesia has a predominantly Muslim population but not a Muslim government. Saudi Arabia is a Muslim government. When American GI's were sent to the east sands of the "Holy Land" in support of Desert Shield, the Saudi Arabian government forbade the US troops to bring Bibles with them. That's a simple example of no relgious freedom.

Religious freedom matters. Free will matters. If killing members of Al Queda in a violent fashion is what it takes to ensure the religious freedom of my family and friends then so be it.

My new wiser, better informed, Bible supported, time tested ideal is free will. Free will pretty much ensures no World Peace, because in a world with choice, there will be lots of people who choose wrong, who choose convenient lies instead of humbling truthes, who choose ignorance and fear over giving up their self-importance.

Good bye World Peace. God Bless Free Will.

Bethel is even cooler than expected

Within 90 minutes of landing in Redding, I learned of Bethel students engaged in business solutions to extreme poverty. Monday I heard a powerful teaching from Bill Johnson on how life on Earth offers us the only chance to worship God in the midst of our pain, suffering, loss, and confusion.  When we are in heaven we won't have the chance to give God that gift.  Bill's teaching reaffirmed this ongoing theme that suffering matters.  Suffering creeps me out but I can not deny that suffering somehow leads to intimacy with Christ. Monday night gave me a few a hours to meet a great house church where blue collar types mingled with Bethel alum. Prophecy and healing flowed amidst their faith and love.  God gave me a chance to pray for healing for one of the guys. This tested my faith when his knee actually got a little worse in the first couple of minutes of prayer. That hurt my pride.  Fortunately during the second bout of prayer his knee healed completely.  V...
