‘Christians, Muslims, and Jesus’ by Mona Siddiqui (book review)

I am convinced that there is one God. This is not the God of one particular religion only, but the God of all religions and of all creation. This is important because it means that different religions, with their various and differing dogmas and creeds, do in fact have the most important thing in common:… Continue reading

A Prayer: ‘Let It Be True’

Lord, please, let it be true. That the death of your Son is my salvation, Lord, let it be true. That the agony of the cross was not in vain, Lord, let it be true. That by His wounds we are healed, Lord, let it be true. That evil has been overcome, Lord, let it… Continue reading
