    Christianity is Going East and Islam is Coming to the West

    Time_cover_82606_1A couple fascinating articles in the August 28th edition of Time Magazine that I thought you might want to check out.  The first article:  The War For China's Soul tells about the spread of Christianity in east and how the church is being persecuted.  I have a friend who just got back from spending the summer in China and I'm anxious to see if the article is accurate to his experience.  The other article is Allah's Recruits and is about the spread of Islam in the west and in many cases as extreme Islam.  If I assume that Time wasn't just being politically correct by putting both articles in the same issue and that is it equally true that Islam is coming west and Christianity is going east; then how should the missional church of Jesus Christ respond?  Strategies?

    like the da vinci code series, having a series explaining why Christianity can be trusted, and what the others claim and why we know its false?

    I read alot of apologetics sites, but not sure what to do for the average person out there that doesn't like to sift through and research and disprove others claims. Though I have to say it has helped me have stronger faith.

    i think it's ironic that the cover is of Hillary Clinton, which makes me think that she might be a Chinese Islamic Fascist. (for Jesus)
