A blog that seeks common ground between Christians and Muslims

​

A Divine Wink can be defined in many ways. The words “divine wink” are derived from Acts 17:30 in the New Testament, which says, “And the times of this ignorance God winked at, but now commands all men everywhere to repent.” An important Divine Wink is the expression of God's applause when Muslims and Christians, who take their faith in God seriously, come together to overcome ignorance and promote mutual edification and understanding, despite our religious differences. I believe God is dissatisfied with the divisive, zealous, religious arguments that unnecessarily separate good, God-fearing people. I find that most religious misunderstandings occur because of differences in perspective rather than differences in belief.   See also my novel, Our Love's Rivalry with Religion.

​What is Jihad? If your understanding of Jihad comes from news reports about Islamist extremists who violently kill innocent people, then I recommend you hear my interview with my Muslim friend, Dr. Safi Kaskas. To conclude that all Muslims are Islamist Extremists is as wrong as concluding that all white Christians are members of the Ku Klux Klan. Overwhelmingly, Muslims take their faith in God as seriously as Christians, with the same emphasis on love for God and love for neighbor. As a Program Director with Peace Catalyst International, I seek opportunities for Christians and Muslims, who take their faith in God seriously, to come together for mutual edification and enlightenment, despite our religious differences.
