Bush: All Religions Pray To Same God??

How many people in America believe what the president says about God. Does he have any idea what the heck he is talking about?
'That's what I believe. I believe Islam is a great religion that preaches peace' ....Really? hmm that is why they hate Jews, Christians and Americans and want to destroy us? I don't get it.

What else does our president claim:

"Well, first of all, I believe in an Almighty God, and I believe that all the world, whether they be Muslim, Christian, or any other religion, prays to the same God. That's what I believe. I believe that Islam is a great religion that preaches peace. And I believe people who murder the innocent to achieve political objectives aren't religious people, whether they be a Christian who does that – we had a person blow up our – blow up a federal building in Oklahoma City who professed to be a Christian, but that's not a Christian act to kill innocent people.

I wonder if he really means it or is someone forcing him to write this trash? Or is this truly his lack of Biblical Truth. They BOTH CANNOT BE TRUE. One claims Jesus is God who rose from the dead and Islam states he was just a good prophet and never died on the cross. All of Christianity hangs on this one event to be true.

Just a simple cursory look at Christianity vs Islam shows that the two religions are in complete opposition.

Be Zealous And Repent

After my morning sermon on the Church of Laodicea, I think this devotional by Charles Spurgeon is more than appropriate. I will be posting my sermon in the next few days. Revelation 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.

And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. (Luke 24:47)

I am glad to find in this verse that old fashioned virtue called repentance. It used to be preached, but it has gone out of fashion now. Indeed, we are told that we always misunderstood the meaning of the word repentance and that it simply means a "change of mind" and nothing more. I wish those who are so wise in their Greek knew a little more about that language, for they would not be so ready with their infallible statements. Gospel repentance is a change of mind of the most radical sort–such a change as never was wrought in any man except by the Spirit of God.

We are also to preach the motives of repentance–that men may not repent from mere fear of Hell, but they must repent of sin itself. Every thief is sorry when he has to go to prison; every murderer is sorry when the noose is about his neck; the sinner must repent; not because of punishment of sin, but because his sin is against a pardoning God, sin against a bleeding Savior, sin against a Holy Law, sin against a tender Gospel. The true penitent repents of sin against God, and he would do so if there no punishment.

We are to tell of the Source of repentance, namely, that the Lord Jesus Christ is exalted on high to give repentance and remission of sins. Repentance is a plant that never grows on nature’s dunghill; the nature must be changed, and repentance must implanted by the Holy Spirit, or it will never flourish in our hearts. We preach repentance as a fruit of the Spirit, or else we greatly err.
