sharing Christ with Muslims
Beyond debate: Pointing Muslims to the gospel
When we share our Christian faith with Muslims, we don’t do it out of obligation, so that one more box is ticked on our to-do list. Your Muslim friend may ask you for information in order to test or even attack your faith. Fine, that’s his business. But what is your aim?
I’m hoping that you would like to introduce him to Christ. So keep this goal in mind. Questions and objections must be answered, but you don’t have to let your friend lead the whole discussion. You also have the right to steer the conversation in the direction that you would like it to go.

Employing the ‘Columbo’ tactic in conversation
If we want to be ambassadors for Christ, having the right answers will not be enough.
We need to do it in such a way that it creates an environment conducive to respectful conversations and allows them to be maintained through difficult moments of disagreement and debate. The best way to achieve that is to ask questions.
