The Saturday Morning Post by Pastor Ted Stahl

Who Is In Control?

Good morning. During our prayer this morning, Gerald’s message was about praising God. Meanwhile all that is going on in the news is about 9/11, the building of the mosque, and the pastor from Florida who wants to burn the Quran. Somebody should find out what Islam does to the Holy Bible, the REAL Word of God. I’m sure they don’t put it on a shelf because they may want to read it someday. They probably burn them too (their loss). And what about the mosque? In my lifetime, I built many model airplanes. Mostly WWII. Many of the American planes had Japanese flags under the cowling to indicate kills. Yes, the placement of the mosque is in very bad taste. However, we still have freedom of religion in this nation. One day they will understand. One day they will know, just as Magog will find out. Ezekiel 39: 6-7  says, “And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.  So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.”

Praise God, that if He can stop the building of the Tower of Babel, He can stop the building of the mosque. Just like Israel, we have also polluted God’s Holy Name. Allah cannot stop God. Allah is little stone statue, not the One, True, Living God. Peter said (2Peter 3:10-11), “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.  Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness…?”

How about a person who praises God. One who gets the truth of the Gospel out, so those who are without the truth will not perish in the fervent heat of the lake of fire. Let God take care of the mosque, and He will.  In the battle between allah and I AM, the God of Israel will beat the god of Islam every time! Praise God!
