A little over two years after the 1980's Iranian Embassy Hostage Crisis in Tehran Iran was resolved, I accidentally walked into the Iranian Embassy in Washington D.C. I was lost looking for my new job. God was with me and I learned a good lesson about what God tells us through Isaiah 41 regarding those times of confinement when it seems as if we are hostages to something in this world.

Upon taking a group of young Christian men on a hike up to the top of Grandfather Mountain, NC, we stumbled across the remains of a 1978 plane crash. It was an exciting find for the boys but then some quite overtook some of them as they realized someone probably perished in the very spot they were standing on. We ran across a park Ranger who explained that the pilot made some errors which led to his demise as he had perished upon crash landing. Todays' episode is a response that I have prepared for the boys in response to this experience. The point is not one of adventure and excitement, but one of LESSONS LEARNED from the Grandfather Mountain plane crash of 1978. This episode relates to the world which our youth is growing up in today and I just released a new video called "The New American Christianity".

Is the Lord returning any minute now? Is the Lord returning next year or in a 100 years? Does it matter? Yes, it matters because it effects the way that Christians live their lives, how they carry out their mission the Lord has called them too, and how they live their daily lives. It's not a matter of IF but WHEN the Lord returns. What doesn't matter is for us to know WHEN the Lord actually returns. By getting carried away emotionally by way of pastors and preachers preaching loudly that the Lord is returning is found void in most cases regarding HOW Christians are to live their lives. The fact of the matter is that Christians have ALWAYS been called to live their lives as if the Lord is returning today. If things all of a sudden got better politically and economically, preachers would preaching God's GRACE has abounded. What they wouldn't say is that Christians should STILL be living their live as if the Lord is returning...today. This is called CHRISTIAN APATHY.

We live in a world resolute on tearing our heart out. How often have we told others, been told by someone else or thought about...guarding our hearts? What if I told you that the Bible teaches us how to guard our hearts in REVERSE. This is in reverse to how you think you ought to guard it in the first place and it's definitely in reverse according to how the worlds tells you to guard your heart.

As humans we have a unique IDENTITY made evident in our personality, fingerprints and our unique DNA. God as well has a unique identity made known through biblical Scriptures. God's identity is so uniquely pronounced in the Bible that it cannot be called the same as Allah in the Quran or the billions of gods found in the Hindu Vedas. Today, Steven Garofalo will take us through the unique IDENTITY of GOD and then compare that to what the Quran says about God's identity. Next week he will do the same with the Hindu Vedas.
