Reliable reports suggest more Muslims have become followers of Jesus over the last two decades than in Islam’s entire 1,500 year history. Based on the accounts of several missiologists, it has been surmised that “more Muslims have committed to follow Christ in the last 10 years than in the last 15 centuries of Islam.” In spite of great difficulty and turmoil, Christianity is unquestionably expanding throughout Islamic world. God is up to something amazing in a region that many have thought was unreachable. (Source: “World Revival Network Blog”)
Instead of holding study groups to read books about Islam, why not prayerfully look for ways in which you could get acquainted with actual Muslim people? Have you ever met one of them? Or do you just fear them and see them as the enemy? If you do see all Muslims through this lens, can you make room for the fact that the best way to defeat your enemy is to win him over?
I am amazed and appalled at the attitudes I see towards Muslims within the Christian community. I would suggest that we start seeing them for who they are: sinners in need of a Savior, as we all are.
