A question I’m starting to challenge more people with when they say they are concerned about “the rise of Islam” is how are you engaging with Muslims?
It’s a reminder that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but power, love, and a sound mind. Most Muslims, just like any other human being, have normal desires like education, to build a good life, have food on the table, a roof over their head and, for some, to be successful. So why do we sometimes treat others like they are alien to the human experience, even if we do have different beliefs?
We divide for many varied reasons, whether it’s gender, race, ethnicity, accents, class, etc. However, as believers our call is to invite all into His kingdom – Matthew 28v18-20. At a time when the world feels so divided we need common ground and unity in the church – a deeper understanding of who Jesus is and why He came. I want to share some stories with you from the past few months that I hope will not only encourage but challenge and give you something to consider when sharing the good news of Jesus.
