God has put upon my heart the persecuted believers around the world. We pray for these precious saints several nights a week as they carry the cross for Jesus. Many of these saints are being persecuted by Moslem extremist. Go to the web sites of VOM or Open Doors and you can read their stories. In saying this I have to ask some questions. Why all of a sudden are evangelical churches wanting to read the Koran in their services? Why are certain evangelical leaders wanting to go to Islamic conferences to promote understanding of Islam and Christianity? Are they not aware of the dangers of sharia law? Does anyone remember Rifka Barry? She is a young woman who converted to Christ out of an Islamic background and had to go into hiding for her life. I might add in this country. Does any evangical leader think Christ and Allah are one? Hal Lindsey is right when he says that there is no common ground between Christ and Islam. The atonong work of Christ is the only way by which one will be saved. Islam does not believe this and my brothers and sisters are dying for this blessed truth. I woukd like to invite Rick Warren and Robert Schiller to read the stories of the martyred in places ike Pakisistan or Nigeria. There will be found the true nature of Islam. Look at the effects sharia in Saudi Arabia. We as believers must stand on the truth of Christ. Only in him is there salvation. Right now I have far more respect for Jack Van Impie and Hal Lindsey who proclaim that Christ is the only way of salvation than for certain pastors who opt for a Koran reading in their Bible church. But then I guess I am more narrow minded at 60 years. But then did not Jesus speak of a narrow way. I only pray that I am on that narrow path with him.
