IS ISLAMOPHOBIA IRRATIONAL?

Discussed by Simon Hankinson
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)

Twenty-five years after 9/11, a generation is growing up with little memory of the attacks, while debates over terrorism, religion, and free speech continue.

Today, Simon Hankinson warns that efforts to broadly define “Islamophobia” could make it harder to speak honestly about Islamist extremism. Simon is a senior research fellow in the Heritage Foundation’s Border Security and Immigration Center and author of “The Ten Woke Commandments”.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Have many Americans forgotten what happened on 9/11 and why?

Are Gen-Zer’s clueless to the truth of what happened that day? Simon gives some statistics from 2024 (the latest data available). He also discusses the problem with liberal universities…

Are some Americans becoming afraid to speak honestly about Islamist extremism?

For Muslim fundamentalists, or “Islamists,” is there any separation between politics and religion?

In the US, is any criticism of Islamism quickly labeled “Islamophobia”? THIS is the problem!!

Do we have the right to criticize any religion or denomination – including Baptists, Catholics, and Islamists?

Are we taking too many steps backwards regarding this issue? Simon closes the interview discussing his book, “The Ten Woke Commandments”.

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

ZEAL, IGNORANCE, AND THE FINISH (vs 10:1-4)

What is the point of Paul’s letter to the Romans? (Romanes 1:16-17)

Is this message something he repeats in different ways over and over again in all of his letters?

What is our end goal? Are you living your life with this goal in mind?

POINTS FOR HOME

Stop running and stand on Christ.

Zeal doesn’t replace knowing God.

Pray like Paul.

Day 5

HOW DOES WHAT WE BELIEVE ABOUT GOD, JESUS, AND THE BIBLE SHAPE OUR LIFE?

Questions/Issues Discussed:

THE LORD’S SUPPER

Yesterday, Pastor Jarrett explained the meaning and purpose of The Lord’s Supper and why it is considered a commandment in the life of a believer. (Luke 22:19; Acts 2:42; 1 Corinthians 11:23-25)

How should The Lord’s Supper be administered?

Do you treat The Lord’s Supper as an act of worship? (1 Corinthians 10)

What is the condition of your heart when you take The Lord’s Supper? (1 Corinthians 11:27-30)

When are we to partake in The Lord’s Supper? (1 Corinthians 11:26; Acts 20:7)

FINAL THOUGHTS

When we partake in The Lord’s Supper, we are not mourning a dead corpse. We are celebrating a risen Savior. (Matthew 26:29)

Everyone – EVERYONE – is invited to The Lord’s Supper – the marriage supper of the Lamb. (Revelation 19:9)

PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

Ever-Listening, Ever-Watching Father,

Thank you for your attention over my walk today.

You sought me and redeemed me and filled me with your Holy Spirit.

Instruct me, Lord, and teach me the way I should go. Counsel me along my walk.

Grant me discernment at every turn. Establish my steps, for your Word is a lamp for my feet and a light on my path.

I will love you and serve you with all my heart and with all my soul and with all my mind.

I pray it is not my will today, but your will through me.

May I not become weary in doing good. I will not give up or give in, for I am your child – the child of God Most High.

Here I am, Lord, use me. And if I am granted tomorrow, let’s repeat.

All for the cause of Christ, in whose name I pray,

Amen
