Understanding Jesus’ Sonship: The Eternal Word of God

Jesus’ title as “Son of God” often confuses Christians and Muslims alike. It doesn’t imply a physical relationship but signifies Jesus as the Messiah and the eternal Word of God (John 1:1-2). The Word, inseparable from God’s essence, became flesh in Jesus (John 1:14), revealing the Father (John 14:9). Scriptures like John 5:18-26 and Colossians 1:15 affirm His divine nature and unique relationship with God. At En-Joy Ministries, we clarify that Jesus is God’s self-expression, manifest in human flesh (1 Timothy 3:16), calling us to worship and share His truth with love.

 The Call to Action: Fulfilling the Great Commission Amid Rising Islam

As Pastor of En-Joy Ministries, I highlight the urgent mission field: Islam, with 1.6 billion adherents (23% of the world), grows at 1.86% annually, outpacing Christianity’s 1.31% (Gordon-Conwell, 2015). By 2050, 2.9 billion Muslims are projected (Pew, 2015). The Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) calls us to disciple all nations, yet many churches fail, ignoring Hebrews 5:14’s call to be “skilful by reason of use.” Without training to evangelize Muslims, leadership falters (Proverbs 29:18). Join En-Joy Ministries as we equip believers—will you rise to the harvest (Luke 10:2)?

From Christian Strongholds to Minority Faith: Lessons from the Middle East for America’s Christian Future

Once-Christian nations like Syria, Turkey, Egypt, and Lebanon drifted from faith due to conquests, economic pressures, persecution, emigration, and demographic shifts. The U.S., with its Christian heritage, risks a similar path through secularization and cultural drift. Pew Research shows Christian identification dropped from 77% to 65% in a decade. Scripture, like Judges 2:10 and Ephesians 6:13, warns against forgetting God and urges steadfastness. As a remnant (Romans 11:4), American Christians must engage in church, teach the faith, and resist modern “idols” (1 John 5:21) to preserve our covenant and avoid the Middle East’s fate.
