Marcus Goodyear does a great job giving his thoughts on Chapter 2 of Real Time Connections!  Go read it HERE!

A few months back, Bob spoke at the LCEF conference about his new book “Real Time Connections” - Now available!

A great interview of one of NorthWood’s members about the Multifaith Weekend.  What a great explanation she gave!

Video Sermon from Sunday.

After each service at each stop during the weekend, there was a time of Q&A.  Here is the Q&A time from NorthWood.

Leave your comments and questions you may have for Bob about this weekend below.

Taken from the www.whydoyoufearme.com website:

What are your first thoughts when you hear words like ‘The Middle East’, ‘Arab’, or ‘Muslim’?

If you are like many Americans, the word that first comes to mind is “terrorism.” FEAR is the natural and assumed emotional reaction. So then….what ARE the political, religious, and societal realities of the Middle East? What impact do these have on America? And most importantly, what should our response be to these challenges?

On January 28th, Governor David Beasley, Ted Dekker, and Carl Medearis will host an honest, unscripted conversation about America and the Middle East. They will not only discuss the vital issues, but provide real-life answers.

The event will be held in conjunction with the release of Ted and Carl’s new book, Tea with Hezbollah — Sitting at the Enemy’s Table, a powerful narrative which draws the West into a completely fresh understanding of those we call our enemies and the teaching that dares us to love them — a must-read for all who see the looming threat rising in the Middle East. David, Carl, and Ted each have a wealth of experience in the Middle East and will provide captivating insights into this confusing part of the world.

Your imagination will be stirred, your heart moved, and your mind filled with new ways to positively interact with the Middle East.

“On Faith” article by Eboo Patel

So far, the multi-faith weekend has been incredible!  Were were the feature story on our local CBS station tonight.  You can watch the story HERE.

I received this and throught some of you might like reading it.

The Gallup Center for Muslim Studies today released a new report, Religious Perceptions in America: With an In-Depth Analysis of U.S. Attitudes Toward Muslims and Islam.  The major conclusions of the study were:
- Of the four faith groups asked about, Americans express the most prejudice toward Muslims
- Self-reported prejudice toward Jews is the variable most strongly associated with expressed prejudice toward Muslims
- Frequent religious service attendance is associated with reports of “no prejudice.”
- A favorable opinion of Islam is associated with “no prejudice”, whereas personally knowing a Muslim is not.

We made the news. Here’s the link and the story has been linked to by USA Today and other newspapers.

“He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” Micah 6:8
Do Justice (how can you, today, bring justice to an unjust situation?)
Love Kindness (mercy) (Where and to whom do you need to show mercy?)
Walk Humbly with your God (Walking by faith - hearing AND obeying)

This holiday season, remember this verse in the midst of the holiday crowds and madness.  People are watching your behavior whether you know it or not.
