Christian Post Report – Kirk Cameron and his wife, Chelsea Noble, 24 years ago.

Christian actor and evangelist Kirk Cameron celebrated 24 years of marriage to his wife and love of his life, Chelsea Noble, on Tuesday, declaring God has “given me so much more than I deserve.”

“I was only 20 years old when I married the love of my life … 24 years have passed from the day we took this picture. Tonight, we celebrated at home with our six children over one of our favorite dinners — turkey tacos! To me, still being together and in love is the best gift of all. God has been so kind and given me so much more than I deserve,” Cameron declared in a post to his Facebook page with a picture of him and his wife.

Cameron’s declaration comes just two months ahead of his marriage event called “Love Worth Fighting For,” which is expected to kick off in September and run through March 2016.

“The Bible repeatedly uses ‘father,’ ‘husband,’ ‘bride’ and ‘child’ analogies to demonstrate God’s relationship with the church and his followers. There is no better example of the unconditional love God has for us than what we are instructed to have for our spouse and children. Building upon these themes, Love Worth Fighting For is a marriage event, featuring teaching by Kirk Cameron and music by Warren Barfield, designed to strengthen and encourage your marriage,” said an introduction on the website of the event.

The actor’s Facebook announcement of his anniversary had attracted more than 800,000 likes, hundreds of comments and thousands of shares as of Tuesday evening and many credited his Christian principles for his lasting marriage.

“Your Christian convictions are one reason you are still together. God is a part of your lives and always will be. Both my wife and I love every movie you have done in the recent years keep up the good work. Congrats on your 24 years and may you have many many more God bless,” wrote Robert E Clune Jr in a comment that was liked more than 3,000 times.

Police in Istanbul fired teargas and water cannon when a demonstration by protesters blaming the government for a suspected Islamic State suicide bombing turned violent, a Reuters witness said. Hundreds gathered near Istanbul’s central Taksim Square after the bombing in the mostly Kurdish border town of Suruc which killed at least 30 people. Some chanted slogans against President Tayyip Erdogan and the ruling AK Party, including: “Murderer Islamic State, collaborator Erdogan and AKP.” Turkey’s Kurds have been enraged by what they see as Ankara’s failure to do more to stop Islamic State. The PKK Kurdish militant group earlier said it held the government responsible for Monday’s attack, saying Ankara had “supported and cultivated” Islamic State against the Kurds in Syria. The demonstration in Istanbul had largely been peaceful, but some protesters threw bottles at police, the witness said.

    Jewish Man Saved From Holocaust on Mission to Rescue 2,000 Christians Fleeing ISIS; Says He Repaying ‘Debt’

    Jewish Man Saved From Holocaust on Mission to Rescue 2,000 Christians Fleeing ISIS; Says He Repaying ‘Debt’

    Christian Post Report – Iraqi Christians attend an Easter mass at the Virgin Mary church in Baghdad, April 5, 2015.

    A Jewish Barron in Britain, who was rescued by Christians from his homeland of Austria during the Holocaust in 1938, says he has a favor to repay. He has established an effort to rescue over 2,000 Christians at risk of being killed by the Islamic State terrorist organization in Iraq and Syria.

    Ninety-five-year-old Lord George Weidenfeld once faced very similar circumstances as Christians in Iraq and Syria — the possibility of being martyred simply for one’s faith.

    Fortunately for Weidenfeld, he benefited from a group of caring English Quakers and Plymouth Brethren who took it upon themselves to evacuate Weidenfeld and other Jewish children to the U.K. to ensure their safe escape from the grips of genocidal Nazi Germany.

    Weidenfeld, who was knighted in 1969 and recognized as a life peer in 1976, told The Times that when he first arrived in Britain as a 5-year-old, he had no more than a few shillings to his name but was provided clothes and food by Christians.

    Now that Weidenfeld is the millionaire owner of Weidenfeld & Nicolson publishing company, he feels he has a “debt to repay” to Christians now in the crosshairs of the Islamic State’s jihadi mission to kill or convert all non-believers.

    Weidenfeld established the Weidenfeld Safe Havens Fund, which is an initiative designed to help at least 2,000 at-risk Christians flee to safety in Poland.

    Last week, the Weidenfeld fund supported a chartered flight of over 150 Syrian Christians to Poland.

    “I had a debt to repay,” Weidenfeld explained to the Times. “It applies to so many young people who were on the Kindertransports. It was Quakers and other Christian denominations who brought those children to England. It was a very high-minded operation and we Jews should also be thankful and do something for the endangered Christians.”

    Weidenfeld said he takes his inspiration from Sir Nicholas Winton, who rescued over 669 people from Czechoslovakia to spare them from the horrors of concentration camps on the eve of World War II.

    Even though persecution at the hands of Adolf Hitler’s Germany was far-reaching and killed about 6 million Jews and 5 million non-Jews, Weidenfeld asserted that the brutality displayed by the Islamic State is “unprecedented.”

    “IS is unprecedented in its primitive savagery compared with the more sophisticated Nazis,” Weidenfeld said. “When it comes to pure lust for horror and sadism, they are unprecedented. There never was such scum as these people.”

    As the fund aims to support persecuted Christian refugees for 12 to 18 months, the project has had trouble getting support from international governments.

    According to The Express, the United States government declined to participate in the project because it doesn’t help other religious minorities like Yazidis, and other Muslims, evacuate the war-torn region.

    Although his fund faces criticism for favoring Christians, Weidenfeld defends the choice to only rescue Christians.

    “The primary objective is to bring the Christians to safe haven,” Weidenfeld said. “I can’t save the world but there is a very specific possibility on the Jewish and Christian side. Let others do what they like for the Muslims.”

    Baptist Evangelizer of Muslims in America Says Greatest Challenge Is Christians Are Afraid to Witness

    Baptist Evangelizer of Muslims in America Says Greatest Challenge Is Christians Are Afraid to Witness

    Christian Post Report – Raouf Ghattas, pastor and founder of Arabic Baptist Church in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

    A Baptist pastor in Tennessee whose young congregation is focused on evangelizing the state’s growing Islamic community has stated that the great obstacle to evangelizing Muslims is the American Church’s apathy on the matter.

    Raouf Ghattas, founder and pastor of the Arabic Baptist Church in Murfreesboro, has sought to evangelize among the city’s growing Muslim population.

    “Many are apathetic, afraid, or just not sure how to approach a Muslim in witness. We work to train churches and individuals in how to reach out to Muslims, but they still have to be the ones to be active,” said Ghattas to The Christian Post on Friday.

    • Call to Prayer

      Israeli border police officers (back) stand guard as Palestinians pray in the East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Ras al-Amud October 9, 2009. The Dome of the Rock, on the compound known to Muslims as al-Haram al-Sharif and to Jews as Temple Mount, in Jerusalem’s Old City is seen in the background. Palestinian leaders on Thursday called for a one-day general strike and warned of more street protests over Jerusalem, where clashes at the flashpoint al-Aqsa mosque two weeks ago cranked up tensions in the disputed city. Israel is playing down Palestinian warnings that its security tactics risk a new Palestinian uprising.

    “Our church members are much more active in reaching out, and have opportunities each week to touch Muslims for Christ.”

    Ghattas also told CP that another challenge for witnessing among the Muslim community in Murfreesboro is “that the Muslim community in our area is small, and very tight-knit, so everyone knows us and sometimes Muslim residents are told not to interact with us.

    “This, however, does not stop us from sharing the love of Christ,” added Ghattas, whose congregation holds two services each Sunday, one in English and one in Arabic.

    Also known as Evangelical Arabic Baptist Church, Ghattas’ congregation held its first worship service in April of 2011.

    Arabic Baptist averages about 30 to 40 people for each service, with several current members coming from a Muslim background.

    “We have Muslim attendees from time to time and several Muslim background believers are part of our church,” said Ghattas to CP.

    “The primary way we reach out as a church is through individual witness. We have done specific outreach events with outside groups who want to come and help, but the most effective way is in the building of relationships one-on-one.”

    Arabic Baptist is a cooperating member of the Tennessee Baptist Convention and works with the convention’s ethnic church planting specialist.

    “It is obvious there is a movement of the Holy Spirit both in the church and among the Muslim community,” Randy C. Davis, executive director of the Tennessee Baptist Convention, told CP about Ghattas’ efforts. “It is hearing the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and people are responding.”

    He continued: “It is our hope that the church will continue to grow and that other Arabic Baptist churches will take root across Tennessee, the United States and around the world.”

    Ghattas’ comments to CP come as Evangelical Arabic Baptist Church holds a dedication service Friday evening for its new facility off of Scenic Drive.

    Florida Man Gives Presbyterian Church $1 Million for Mission Work in Egypt

    Florida Man Gives Presbyterian Church $1 Million for Mission Work in Egypt

    Christian Post Report – The Presbyterian Center, a building belonging to Presbyterian Church (USA) and located in Louisville, Kentucky.

    A Florida man has given a large donation to the global missions arm of the largest Presbyterian denomination in the country.

    Jim Davis, member of the Miami Shores Presbyterian Church, gave $1 million to Presbyterian World Mission to support mission work in Egypt.

    “Half of the gift will be used to help the Egyptian church construct new churches in underserved areas,” said Kathy Melvin, director of mission communications with the Presbyterian Mission Agency, to The Christian Post on Friday.

    “The other half will provide context sensitive theological education to train leaders for these new congregations and support the teaching ministries of Presbyterian mission workers teaching at the Evangelical Theological Seminary in Cairo.”

    Hunter Farrell, director of World Mission, said in a statement provided to CP that Davis’ donation is crucial to the organization’s missional efforts.

    “We praise God and are deeply grateful for this visionary and generous gift from Davis that allows us to grow the Christian church in Egypt,” said Farrell.

    “Without a leadership gift like this, Presbyterian World Mission would be unable to respond to this unprecedented opportunity.”

    Presbyterian missionaries have a long history in Egypt, dating back to the 19th century with the founding of various churches and schools, including the Evangelical Theological Seminary in Cairo in 1854.

    Reportedly the largest Protestant denomination in the Middle East, the recent political upheavals in Egypt have had mixed results for the Presbyterian Church, according to Melvin.

    “Since the events of the 18-day revolution that began in Egypt on Jan. 25, 2011, the national manifestation of what is popularly known as “the Arab Spring,” there has been a new era of openness in the country which has permitted church growth, even as there is also increased insecurity in many places,” said Melvin.

    “Our church’s commitment to the Synod of the Nile continues in both good times and in more difficult times. We have seven mission co-workers assigned to Egypt, numerous projects in theological education, evangelism, health and education, and a large number of PC(USA) congregations that engage in on-going relationships with our Egyptian partner church.”

    Bishop T.D. Jakes Tells Braxton Sisters to Go Back to Gospel Roots on ‘Braxton Family Values;’ Sisters Respond by Singing the Lords Prayer (Video)

    Christian Post Report – Bishop T.D. Jakes speaks at the Pastors and Leadership Conference at the Washington Convention Center on Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2008.

    Bishop T.D. Jakes returned to the hit WE tv reality series “Braxton Family Values” on Thursday and urged the Braxton sisters to go back to their gospel music roots while spiritually counseling the family through recent trials. The women responded with a beautiful a cappella rendition of the Lord’s Prayer.

    “I want you to come back to your roots,” said Jakes to Tamar, Toni, Trina, Towanda and Traci “Braxton Family Values.” “God gave you a voice! Sing! Sing something for me. Just take me back home for a minute.”

    The sisters heeded Jakes’ words and stood together to harmonize the Lord’s Prayer.

    After the quick worship session witnessed by Jakes and the Braxton parents, Michael Braxton Sr. and Evelyn, Trina reflected on how music brings her and her sisters together.

      The Braxton sisters from Left: Toni, Towanda, Traci, Tamar, Trina and mother, Evelyn, star in “Braxton Family Values” on Thursdays.

    “I think it was really smart of Bishop Jakes to ask us all to go back to our roots and sing. Especially because when we get together and we sing, and we sing for real, our sisterhood just seems to automatically mesh together again once we’re together and singing,” said Trina on Thursday’s episode of “Braxton Family Values.”

    The performance brought their mother to tears and elicited an inspirational response from Jakes.

    “That’s what families do,” said Jakes to the Braxton sisters. “We can laugh and love, and lift each other up. That’s how we survive. You can’t stop doing that. I don’t care who did what. You’re still family.”

    The Braxtons come from a strong Christian background growing up with preacher parents. Tamar described what it was like being raised in that type of household during an interview with Flaunt magazine in 2013.

    “Both of my parents at one time were pastors of their own churches and I learned a lot from that,” she said. “But not until I was an adult did I understand it and know it for myself.”

    Tamar’s sister, multi-platinum recording artist Toni, spoke to The Christian Post in 2013 about being raised by a father who also serves as a pastor.

    “When your dad is a preacher you’re involved in everything. It’s how I got my roots. … Most entertainers come from church, African-Americans singing in the choir,” said Braxton to CP. “You practice every day. You’ve got your pulpit, it was your stage. You’ve got your congregation, that was your audience.

    “You’ll get an ‘Amen’ or ‘Alright’ or ‘Sing.’ You’re going to get something to cheer you along,” she added. “Somebody is going to tell you can’t lead that song that you wanted to lead, but they’ll still encourage you to at least see what you’ve got out there. I love that about church.”

    In early 2014, the Braxton sisters agreed to record and release a Gospel album together. Toni signed a contract created by her sisters at the time to ensure the album’s creation.

    Towanda followed the contract signing by tweeting “Who’s ready for a Braxton family gospel album?”

    And Tamar spoke about the importance of recording the album with her sisters during a 2014 episode of “Braxton Family Values.”

    “I feel like me and my sisters need this, where we put all of our talents together and work together in harmony,” Tamar said.

    The Braxton’s Gospel album was never released.

    Erica Campbell Says Mary Mary Song Inspired Atheist Fan to Find Jesus

    Erica Campbell Says Mary Mary Song Inspired Atheist Fan to Find Jesus

    Christian Post Report – Erica Campbell holds the award for Best Gospel Album for “Help” backstage during the awards pre-telecast at the 57th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, California, February 8, 2015.

    Erica Campbell, one half of Grammy award-winning gospel duo Mary Mary, recently opened up about faith and purpose while recalling how an atheist fan once got saved after listening to her music.

    In an interview with Rollingout magazine, Campbell, who graces the latest cover, said that propelling people closer to faith through her music is validation from God that she’s on the right track in fulfilling her purpose.

    The “I Luh God” singer recalled a time that she and her sister, Tina, met an atheist woman who shared with them that she had found Jesus after hearing their “God in Me” song from Mary Mary’s fourth studio album The Sound.

    “Tina and I were doing an event called Women of Faith … this girl came running up to us really frantic. She said that she was an atheist, but she heard “God in Me” in the club, and loved the song,” Campbell told Rollingout. “She said that she went and bought the record, but when she listened to the first song she thought, ‘I don’t want no gospel record — what is this?’ But because she loved “God in Me” so much, she listened to it and at first she thought that maybe she’ll just go to church once.”

    She continued: “She ended up going to church and giving her life to God. It changed her whole life. … To me, that’s better than any award, a Grammy, or even a million albums sold. It’s better than the most famous person in the world talking about how much they love my music. To change someone’s life in that way is priceless. I think that’s the kind of stuff that makes God happy. That’s the only reason I do this.”

    Despite her continued success, the married mother of three has never forgotten her humble beginnings and she makes a conscious effort to use her celebrity platform to give back to the community as often as possible because she understands what it’s like to have nothing.

    “I remember being in college with absolutely no money,” Campbell told The Christian Post last year.

    “I was in hair school even though I knew I was supposed to sing. I was like, ‘well, you know you’ve got to finance the dream’ [so] I’m in hair school, I have no money. I have no gas in my car. Im scraping around my car to see if I have 35 cents for a 35 cent hamburger from McDonald’s that was across the street from my college, and I would listen to ‘Stand’ by Donnie McClurkin. And so when people share with me that something that I sang was able to help them through that point … oh God it’s just so beautiful it makes it worth it.”

    Last year, the gospel music powerhouse, who first hit the music scene alongside Tina in 1998, debuted her first-ever solo album Help, which peaked at number one on the Billboard Gospel charts. In March of this year, she released her second studio album, Help 2.0, which features her latest single “I Luh God.”

    The track, produced by LaShawn Daniels, is among the first-ever to infuse gospel lyrics against a trap beat, and it made headlines back in March after it garnered mixed reactions. While some fans praised its unique Christian hip-hop sound, others struggled to grasp the concept, and the WE tv star said that ultimately she was “unbothered” by the criticism.

    While the song initially sparked some criticism and minor ridicule, it appears as though Campbell is having the last laugh because in April, it peaked at No. 1 on the digital gospel song charts, shortly after its release.

    10-Year-Old Girl Kills 12 in Nigerian Suicide Bombing; Christian Persecution Watchdog Calls Boko Haram a ‘Death Cult’

    10-Year-Old Girl Kills 12 in Nigerian Suicide Bombing; Christian Persecution Watchdog Calls Boko Haram a ‘Death Cult’

    Christian Post Report – A security operative blocks a road leading to a prayer ground during Eid-al-Fitr prayers, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan, at Sheikh Ahamdu Tijjani Mosque at Kofar Mata in Kano, Nigeria, July 17, 2015.

    A 10-year-old girl and an elderly woman carried out a suicide bombing in Nigeria on Friday at prayer grounds in Damaturu, killing 12 people. At least 64 people in total are dead following a series of attacks in Nigeria during the Muslim Eid al-Fitr celebration, marking the end of Ramadan.

    The Associated Press reported that blasts took place at a market in Gombe as well, where 50 people were killed, and another 75 injured.

    Officials are blaming terror group Boko Haram, which has been carrying out shootings and bombings in Nigeria since 2009, and has killed hundreds during this year’s Ramadan alone.

    The terror group has massacred both Christians and Muslims, targeting all that it deems opposed to its extremist ideology.

    Persecution watchdog group Christian Solidarity Worldwide said in a statement:

    “Despite its pseudo-religious pronouncements, with every atrocity Boko Haram illustrates it is no more than a death cult that indoctrinates members to kill without conscience, regardless of the creed espoused by its victims.”

    As for the 10-year-old girl and elderly woman who carried out the suicide blasts in Damaturu, Col. Sani Kukasheka Usman explained that they detonated their devices at screening areas set up by security forces to protect the Muslim prayer sites.

    Security forces added: “The Yobe State Governor Ibrahim Geidam and the Chief of Army Staff Major General Tukur Yusuf Buratai have (sympathized) with the victims and the people of the state and urged residents to stay calm and be security conscious at all times.”

    While Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, who took office on May, has said that his administration will lead the charge in driving out the terror group from the country, so far the attacks have only intensified since he took power.

    The U.N. has documented on a number of occasions instances where Boko Haram has been found to have used women and girls as suicide bombers.

    “Children are not instigating these suicide attacks; they are used intentionally by adults in the most horrific way; they are, first and foremost, victims not perpetrators,” UNICEF representative Jean Gough said in May.

    Women and children have made up as many as three-quarters of all Boko Haram-led suicide bombings since last year, the U.N. added, with girls between 7 and 17 years old used in at least nine confirmed bombings before Friday’s attacks.

    Christian Post Report – But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
    — Genesis 6:8

    • Greg Laurie

      Greg Laurie, senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California and Harvest Orange County in Irvine, California, shares the Gospel with a sold-out crowd of 19,000 for Harvest America at the American Airlines Center and Victory Park in Dallas, Texas, Oct. 5, 2014.

    A jeweler will display a ring or a fine piece of jewelry against a dark backdrop so that our eyes are automatically drawn to it. And that is what Noah was like against the dark backdrop of wickedness in his day. He was a rare jewel, a radiant light in a very dark place. The Bible tells us that “Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord” (Genesis 6:8), which means that God extended grace toward him.

    The Bible also tells us that “Noah walked with God.” (verse 9). That is said of only two people in the Scriptures: Enoch and Noah. So what does it mean to walk with God? Amos 3:3 gives us insight into this: “Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?” The idea is to move in rhythm with someone. If you take a walk with someone, you have to keep pace with that person. When I walk with my grandchildren, for example, I can’t walk at my normal speed. I slow down.

    The idea of walking with God is that we are not running and dragging God along, and neither is God running and dragging us along. Rather, we are to get in rhythm with God. The objective is to get in synch with Him, not try to get Him in synch with us.

    I remember a time when I went scuba diving and ended up using too much of my air. So I had to use the extra regulator hanging from the instructor’s tank, and from that point on, I had to go wherever he went. I could either stay in rhythm with my instructor and live, or break free and die. So I stayed in rhythm with him.

    That is the idea of walking with God. And Noah walked with God.
