Do We Shake the Dust From Our Feet or Continue to Witness?
What is our response as Christians to the palpable hatred by Islam of all things not Islam? Christ calls us to love. How do we love those who are absolutely closed to the message of forgiveness and salvation? When Christ sent out the twelve, he told them,
“Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town. And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave, as a testimony against them.” (Mark 6:10-11, NIV)
Do we continue to reach out to Muslims or shake the collective dust from our feet?
I’ve spoken with missionaries operating in Muslim countries and they are convinced that despite the overt hostility of “big Islam”, God is clearly moving in individuals. Isn’t that what He does everywhere else?
So how do we deal with “big Islam”?
