My friend is applying for teaching jobs in Universities which require a christian mission statement. She is not a Christian. Do you think she stands any chance of even getting through? If so what should she write in such a statement.
Ask her to write something from the heart. I’ve met two non-christian people working within christian missionaries in my life’s journey, and what you believe is only a small part of being a christian. A larger part is how you live your life. You can be christian in nature, without holding their beliefs. Likewise, you can claim to be a christian, pray each day, go to church and still be selfish and unloving. As long as she has an understanding of the christian nature, writing a statement should be easy. Hope this helps…

I am wanting to open a Christian book store. In order to do this I will need a grant to help with the inventory. Does anyone have any information on obtaining a grant for this. It will be a purely Christian store and will be ran by only women.
You’ll have to talk to the churches in your neighborhood, or the state or regional offices of whatever church you belong to.
The word "grant" is typically used to refer to money from the government, but the US government does not give any money to any religious organization.

Gangsta rap is not christian music yet a friend of mine has a wife who is listening to it now. What should he do? He already told her not to.
Have him get rid of all the music that she is listening to that is offensive. She should be respecting her husband and submitting to him. Obviously she is not or it would not be going on after he told her not to. But be warned, she will probably divorce him for it. He better get his funds in order and prepare for her to leave him. It is unfortunate, but in our liberated equal rights society this is the type of crap we as men have to take for trying to enforce our role as husbands in accordance with God’s holy law.
It never pays to listen to the majority. Christians have always been the mistreated and outnumbered.

The system they have now is that all the different Christian cults like Catholics, Anglicans, Baptists, Pentecostals etc, all do charity work separately because, due to their arrogance in assuming only their version of Christianity is correct, they can’t work together. If they were able to put aside their differences and work together, could they do more charity work?
yes.. that would be so much better than separately, unfortunately, so many of the churches are ‘liberal’ today and get into things others don’t agree with (like abortion). and not to mention if it were all in one organization, who would run it? some are pro israel, others are not. some are openly racist (black only or white only or yellow only or….) while others accommodate all they can. IMHO the WOC is far too liberal for me to be party to.

My husband, a muslim, and I, a Christian, have been married legally, by a christian ceremony and submitting it to the state, for a year. Celebrating our anniversary, i’ve happily agreed to marry him in a mosque. I have never been to a Nikah so I am clueless as to what to expect. Can anyone fill me in on what to expect in this type of Nikah, is there a certain color I am suppose to wear inside the mosque, and any websites that may be helpful?
First of all, nikah is actually the first thing you need to do if you are marrying a Muslim. But as both of you have finally decided to do it, then ask forgiveness whole heartedly from Allah and proceed with your nikah as soon as possible, as up to this point both of you are not considered to be husband and wife. The best thing for both of you is to refrain from doing anything than husband and wife is allowed until you finish your marriage ceremony (according to Islam that is). May Allah guide both of you and show you the true way.
Probably when your Muslim ‘husband’ decided to marry you, he consider it right to marry a Christian woman based on the following Quranic verse;
Surah Al-Maidah (Chapter 5) verse 5;
(Meaning)
5. Made lawful to you this day are At-Tayyibat. The food of the People of the Scripture is lawful to you, and your food is lawful to them. (Lawful to you in marriage) are chaste women from the believers and chaste women from those who were given the Scripture before your time when you have given them their due, desiring chastity, not illegal sexual intercourse, nor taking them as girlfriends (or lovers). And whosoever rejects faith, then fruitless is his work; and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.
Lawful to Muslim to marry women from those who were given the Scripture (Christians and Jews), that is those woman who believed in God and do not practise polytheism or idol worshipping, although they are not Muslim yet in practise. And they refrain themselves from wrong doings (illegal sexual intercourse etc.) as told to them in their scriptures.
But there are women from the People of the Book who do not practise their religion anymore, practise Shirk (polytheism) and indulge themselves in wrong doings. The best is to avoid to marry this kind of woman, same as it is better to avoid marrying ‘Muslim woman’ who do not follow the teaching of Islam.
Based on this verse also, your ‘would be husband’ should give you your due, that is mahr (mandatory wedding gift as agreed by both parties).
As for the nikah, it is a simple wedding vow that your husband agrees to marry you, and you agree to it beforehand. It should be conducted by your wali (your father or if not available your brother and so on – if they are Muslim of course) and witnessed by some truthful person. If you do not have any Muslim wali, then a Muslim judge or imam will normally conducted the aqad nikah.
If you encounter other customs or rules during your nikah perhaps it is merely a tradition or rules set by an authority that is normally practice at the place you are residing. As long as they do not contradict Islamic practices then they are lawful.
If you are concern about what to wear during the ceremony, normally Muslim woman, based from the teaching of the Quran will cover their ‘aurat’, that is body part to be covered. It is their whole body except for their face and palm. As for the colour or fashion there are no restriction as long as it is modest and beautiful for your husband to see. This is the best for you. But if you are not comfortable to cover your hair now (as some women are), then wear anything modest and proceed with your nikah.

Since information about almost any religious movement can be tracked down on the internet, is it hindering pseudo christian sects from bringing in new recruits?
The easy reach for information makes the lie very hard to sell

I think a sprit filled christian must listen the direction of the holysprit inside of him rather than planning by his own will. Because his plan may be out of God’s plan in his life.
Is that true?
Marriage, education, work is all good in God’s eyes…but who to marry, what we do in life regarding education, etc is somethings that we NEED and should pray to God through Jesus about in order to be directed by Him. We should want to do the will of God and follow the plans He has for us. IF we do our own will, there WILL be consequences.
