“Good News for Muslims”
by Art Sadlier
July 11th, 2010

The following item appeared on islamist-watch.org, “It seems almost unthinkable, but Islamist groups are, as we speak, hard at work creating Muslim states-within-states in the U.S. Indeed, this process has been unfolding for a long time across the Western world. Through the creation of isolated Muslim enclaves in both rural and urban areas, as well as through the designation of "no-go zones," where governments admit to having little authority over Muslims living there, essentially leaving them to function as autonomous regions.”

Believers have an unprecedented opportunity to penetrate Islam in America and Canada. I suspect that the Lord is behind this bringing Muslims into our midst. Muslims are held in darkness; that is the reason they cloistered and isolated from society. Their leaders rightly fear any exposure to a democratic society and a Christian based culture. If we can penetrate individual Muslims with the gospel, multitudes could be won to Christ. As the freedom and liberty found in Christ fills hearts and lives with joy and peace and freedom, Muslims will reach other Muslims. We perhaps cannot penetrate many areas of Islam, but if individual Muslims can be won to Christ they can reach where non-Muslims cannot go.

I believe we should not concentrate on attacking Islam, though it must be exposed. The power of God to transform is found in the gospel, the gospel is the power of God unto salvation. The gospel can dispel the darkness. I believe we have a window of opportunity, that window may not remain open long. The Lord has brought the mission field to our door step, let us rise and be doing!

Many are alarmed by what they see happening in our country in relationship to Islam and rightly so. We need to replace that alarm and fear with faith and realize that we can see multitudes of Muslims won to Christ. We need to start with seeing Muslims as Christ sees them and loving them as Christ loves them. We can with the Lord’s enablement help to open hearts of those for whom Christ died.

A caution! Lukewarm, counterfeit, powerless, Laodicean Chistianity will not be of any effect! It has to be the real thing! Some understanding of Islam is necessary but a love for Muslims is essential.

Looking for His glorious appearing! Titus 2:13
