JANUARY

2016

A Roman Catholic priest once said on Larry King

Live, “Jesus rejoices when His Father is glorified.

And when a Muslim or Jew glorifies the Father I

can’t imagine Jesus coming and saying, ‘Oh, well,

when are you going to look at Me?’ The joy of Je-

sus is the glorification of God.” Yet, Jesus said, “I

am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes

to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6).

Melvin Talbert, ecumenical officer of the United

Methodist Church, was asked by Larry King if he

thought his religion was right. Talbert answered in

the affirmative, but denied that all others were

necessarily wrong. “I believe my God is large

enough to be inclusive of all human beings who

were created in God’s image and that includes

those religions that are not Christians.”

God’s Word is firm: those who wish to come to the

Father must do so by Jesus—not Mohammed, nor

Buddha, nor the Pope, nor any other teacher of

error. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the

life.

I have seen those words on a bumper sticker.

Many people who call themselves Christians

(regardless what the Bible says) would say

something similar to that, though they would

probably substitute the word “denomination” for

“religion.” Ecumenism is a dangerous concept—

“One church is as good as any other,” or, “You

believe what you want to believe, and I’ll believe

what I want to believe.” God is quite clear that

there is but one faith (Ephesians 4:5), and that

we are to “earnestly contend for the faith which

was once delivered unto the saints” (Jude 3).

People may call me intolerant, but I am more

concerned with what God thinks than what man

thinks (Galatians 1:10).

But this particular bumper sticker—“My God is

too big for one religion”—takes the idea of ecu-

menism even further. If one truly believes this

statement, then not only are all “Christian” de-

nominations included, but so are all religions

that outright reject the Christ – Jews, Muslims,

Buddhists, Hindu, etc.

“My God is too big for one religion” B y J a s o n C a r te r

OUR PRAYER LIST

PLANS FOR 2016 1. Evangelism: This is pivotal for the growth of

the church in Zimbabwe. In other words, there is no substitute for evangelism. We plan to ex-

pand evangelism work to other areas of the country in 2016. Our plea has always been sub-

mission or obedience to the authority of Christ or the Bible. We shall teach people to obey the

gospel of Christ and become precisely what people were in the first century.

2. We shall conduct leadership courses and sharpen leadership skills of church leaders.

3. We shall use WBS Courses in teaching people

God's Word including prison inmates.

4. We shall encourage ladies and the youth to have meetings anchored upon the word of God.

5. Jacob and Nqobizitha will continue to help farmers in their drip irrigation gardens.

6. Weather predictions for Southern African

countries are painting a gloomy picture of a worst drought ever. Therefore, we shall con-

tinue distributing food to the needy if our over-seas brothers and sisters continue to provide

the food relief funds.
