Stand for truth in politics, law, education, media, and culture. However, continue to rest in the works of Jesus Christ. “It is finished.” Indeed, the state of this world distresses us, and we must pray and work in the Spirit against the continuous stream of new versions of the old lie; however, let us not be tempted to think that this is a war against Christians and Muslims.
Muslims are victims of the lie of Islam. Islam shall be defeated by the weaponry of our Lord; pitting foolish Muslim weapons (demographics, politics, war, terrorism, lies, protests) against Muslims will not defeat Islam. The living God is the Powerful. We will not send out a fat Goliath with a flashy costume to impress or intimidate men. We will be weak, we will have faith, and we will be strong in the Lord.
Even as the spirit of Islam conquers Europe and invades North America, it is rotting from the inside-out. Souls in the very heart of Dar al-Islam are crying out for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Nobody can stop the work of our Lord. When they say Christianity is dying, it is a sure sign that it is just beginning.
A Muslim’s greatest shame is that a tiny nation called Israel remains in the middle of Islam’s headquarters. Heavy militant action since 1948 has not removed this thorn that even stuck the gut of prophet Muhammad until his death, even though hungry dogs surround Israel on all borders. This shame cuts to the core, not only of Muslim politics, but also of their personal service to their dead god. This question haunts them: “What have I done wrong, Allah, that this stain will not be removed?”
Even as the strong-man Islam cannot wipe out the puny nation of Israel, so much more shall he not wipe out the kingdom of Jesus Christ. He cannot touch it; God’s will forbids it. Christ’s kingdom is not even of this world. Our citizenship is in heaven, where our King is preparing a place for us.
Let us show love to our Muslim neighbors. Let them see our weakness, for weak we are. But just as the Philistines saw in young David, they will also see that the God of Israel is the living God. Our strength is in the Most High. The Jew, the Muslim, and the Arminian Christian struggle and fuss to please the God of Abraham, but they altogether disgust Him. No dead man can work from his filthy heart to impress God.
