Iran’s President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is a first class scumbag.  Apart from being accused of human rights violations in Iran, rigging Iran’s elections to give him a second term, sending his country into economic sanctions by blatantly ignoring international efforts to curb Iran’s nuclear program, arming terrorist organisations in the Mid-East, calling for the destruction of Israel…..

I’ll stop there as the list can simply go on and on.  This guy is a first class loser.  He actively promotes himself as an apocalyptic figure destined to bring on the end of the world via the destruction of Israel.

Given the fact that Iran is nearing its capacity to make a nuclear bomb, announcing new plants for it’s rocket production and even sent a rocket into orbit with animals and worms on board, people better start to take notice at how a whacko like Ahmadinejad – and the means and technology he has access to – can make a significant impact in their lives and the lives of millions in the Mid East – especially Israel.

You see Ahmadinejad has a huge gripe towards the nation of Israel and is hell bent on it’s destruction.  One of Ahmadinejad’s biggest controversies is that he is a Holocaust denier – he hates the fact that Israel, as a nation, was born after the atrocities of World War 2.  And yet, in the same breath, utters the words…”we will create the next holocaust” – this just shows how depraved this man is.

Below is a video which conveys just how sensitive the Holocaust still is in the minds of Israelis – every year, a siren goes off and everyone stops, dead in their tracks, to honour the 6 million Jews murdered in World War 2.  In light of this footage and the graphic images of World War 2 of murdered Jews, just imagine how despised Ahmadinejad in Israel and amongst those who know their history.

As Dwight Eisenhower accurately stated after World War 2…

Get it all on the record now – get the films – get the witnesses – because somewhere down the road of history, some bastard will get up and say that this never happened”

Ahmadinejad – you are that bastard.

Be sure to grab yourself a free Audio Book download of Mark Driscoll’s, “Religion Saves: + nine other misconceptions” – available now @ www.christianaudio.com.

This book is based on the same titled sermon series held at Mars Hill Church in Seattle.  Check out the sermons here.

Basically Mars Hill Church opened up a web based survey and asked for people to post any questions they would like Mark Driscoll to address.  After receiving thousands of questions and thousands of votes against these questions, the top ten areas were addressed in a sermon series and a book was put together.

Now you can download a copy of the audio book for free thanks to www.christianaudio.com!

John Piper is the Pastor for Preaching at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.  John is the author of more than 30 books and more than 25 years of his preaching and teaching is available free at desiringGod.org

His website includes a vast resource of quality teaching and preaching and he freely makes this available for the Body of Christ.

In today’s age of “celebrity pastors” who make a living on travelling the world pushing their books at inflated places and then travelling on to their next destination in their Lear Jets to talk more about the so called “prosperity gospel”, John is a welcome contrast.

He is perhaps best known by the quote embedded in the following image…

“God is most glorified in me when I am most satisfied in Him” – what a way to view your life!  What a sharp contradiction to the “live your best life now” or “seven steps to happiness”  so freely peddled into today’s Christian bookstores.

Although John is a Pastor, Speaker and Author – and he writes a tonne of books, what contrasts him from others is that he also makes his books, and all his teaching material, freely available to all!  What an awesome blessing he is to the Church and a glowing example of what it means to be a servant of Jesus.

Below are just 10 examples of books available for free download from his website desiringGod.org.  In fact, if you head over to his website, you will find 54 books available for free download in PDF format.

Desiring God | Download PDF

The great business of life is to glorify God by enjoying him forever. Discord between duty and delight doesn’t exist: delight is our duty. Piper stuns us again and again with things we saw in the Bible, but never dared to believe. Join him on this dangerous quest for maximum joy in God. But beware, it may cost you your life. Never mind – "the steadfast love of the Lord is better than life" (Psalm 63:3).

Don’t Waste Your Life | Download PDF

God created us to live with a single passion: to joyfully display his supreme excellence in all spheres of life. The wasted life is the life without this passion. God calls us to pray and think and dream and plan and work, not to be made much of, but to make much of him in every part of our lives.

Stand | Download PDF

Many people seek to better their lives by leaving, changing, swapping, or modifying their commitments.  But God’s Word holds up a beautiful value that, while difficult, leads to deep satisfaction and great reward: endurance. Such long, steady, hold-the-course perseverance is especially needed within our vacillating generation.

Video trailer for the book…

I’ve just about had it with the political correctness running rampant in our society today.  Instead of “calling a spade a spade” as us Aussies like to say, these days you have to bow to anyone’s view in order to not be labelled “intolerant”.

When it comes to Radical Islam, I’ve had enough.  I know that the vast majority of Muslims long to live in peace side by side with their neighbours of all colours and creeds.

But there is a minority of Muslims that are radical to the extreme.  You look at many of the “hotspots” in the world and there they are – pushing their stupid radical agenda onto everyone and anyone – including their own people.

Trouble is that most people just don’t know how destructive and influential these people are.  Let’s call a spade a spade – these people are nuts!  Seriously!  They are hell bent on an ideology that kills and suppresses anyone opposed to them.

It’s easy for a westerner like me to say such things.  But if one of their own says the same thing, then it’s worth taking a look.  Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser is a devout American Muslim who has also had enough of the radical nature of such minority Muslims.

He has just put out a documentary called “The Third Jihad”- an expose at the bizarre world these radicals live in and how they intend to impose this on the rest of us.  The website introduces the film this way…

“This is not a film about Islam. It is about the threat of radical Islam. Only a small percentage of the world’s 1.3 billion Muslims are radical. This film is about them.”

The film goes for 72 minutes and can be ordered here.  But below is a 30 minute snippet divided over 4 videos.  Please take the time to watch as it exposes you to a world view far different to most know of.

Enough of the political correctness.  Time to stare reality straight in the eyes and get a glimpse as to how dangerous Radical Islam is.

Can you see yourself in the following video?  I know I can.  And it bothers me.  Alot!

In my case, it’s not because I try to be someone I’m not.  But more like the “cares” of this world grow around me and choke me from all angles.
