In Turkey, a country that is predominately Muslim, there is a Church of Wishes where women qho are Christian, Muslim, and Secular line up to get the rite the Church does and are given a key to wear that they return when their wish comes true. Well most people have their wish come true, even those not of the Christian faith. Muslim women even said in interviews on BBC that they like the church because they accept them. I feel that this is an amazing way Christ is effecting a nation that is lead by a President, Recep Endogen, who has been declaring he wants the blood of Christians to flow in a holy war. That God The Trinity is calling enemies of His church because we all were all enemies of Him at one point, “For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son Jesus Christ, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.” (Romans 5:10).

If you don’t repent, I will come and remove your lampstand from its place among the churches,” (Revelation 2:4-5), and “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” (Mark 12:30-31). In all these words of Jesus we are told to love our neighbor, to love one another, and that people will know we are disciples of Christ by out love (see the song at the end of this blog post). Ther
