A prophetic people and Islam - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com
There is a story by AFP about the year anniversary of a terrorist attack in a Paris kosher store following the Charlie Hebdo jihadist attack and how the Jews in France have learned to live under armed guard. Ironic that European Jews are living under armed guard as free and protected people in contrast to Hitler's Europe where they were held under armed guard in ghettos and death camps. They are now prisoners of their freedom because the world refuses to recognize Islam for the political death cult it is. How little things have changed in the past 70 years. Once Nazi tyranny, now Islamic oppression. Satan's players change, but the game is the same. It's time for the world to admit that Islam is antithetic to any good.
Christians are faced with a conundrum: We are commanded to preach the gospel to the ends of the earth and to make disciples. Yet the brutally violent Islam seeks to destroy us, especially if we attempt to evangelize its followers. Some take the stance that Islam is so evil that it should be rooted out. Others take the position that we must have complete reconciliation with Islam through acceptance, fellowship and cooperation. Neither position is correct. This is not "either-or," but rather something in between. We must keep in mind 2 Corinthians 6:14: "Be you not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? and what partnership has light with darkness?"
At the same time, we should remember 2 Peter 3:9, "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." The conundrum becomes how to embrace the concept that none should perish and at the same time not fellowship with darkness. The answer is to recognize the evil of Islam as a system, and also understand that individuals who follow Islam need to know the Lord. My point is that for life's sake, we must stand against Islam as an evil entity, and work to bring the true Word of God, Jesus Christ, to individual Muslims. This is a true test of us as Christians and a prophetic people.
In Africa, we stand against Islam at every juncture. Years ago, an Islamic-inspired terrorist group was invading Christian villages, killing men, women and children with machetes because they would not submit to Islam. We brought attention to this, exposed it to the light, and the government was pressured to act against the Islamists. At the same time, we created relationships with individual Muslims and engaged them with the gospel. You may say that you are not "called" to the Muslims. It's difficult for me, too. But I am called and commissioned to share the gospel and to make disciples. The way for the Church to destroy Islam is through the love of Christ. That's how we protect our nation in the long run. Think about it.
