I've just returned from a wonderful time back in the USA with family and friends and partner churches, all of whom become only dearer to us the longer we serve Christ here in South Africa where he's called us. But one surprise on this trip was the chance, during a four hour layover in Salt Lake City, to tour the Mormon Temple compliments of a free shuttle service to and from the airport, obviously as a part of the LDS evangelistic efforts. What an educational but heartbreaking experience, to see such a Satanic stronghold through the false gospel of Mormonism and the massive kingdom which is being built there.
Also during our time in the USA, the hot topic of Muslim visions and the Muslim 'insider' movement came up with some Christian friends. This was the second time in the last few weeks when godly Christian leaders have assured me how God's main way of now reaching Muslims is through dreams, rather than through His Word. Then, while chewing on these twin issues of reaching Mormons and reaching Muslims, into my e-mail inbox arrives the monthly Gary Gilley "Think on These Things" newsletter. Gilley tackles both of these very issues in a very engaging newsletter, giving what I found to be a biblical analysis and response and caution to recent evangelical efforts in reaching both Mormons and Muslims. It helped me be more discerning and prepared for the next time these issues arise in a discussion. For any who are interested, here is the link to Gilley's article:

I'd love to hear other's thoughts on Gilley's treatment of these pressing matters....
