Two Ways Christians Should Respond to the Threat of Radical Islam

Jim Dennison:

Whatever the motives behind the Fort Hood tragedy, it is clear that radical Islam is the challenge of our lifetime. How should Christians respond?

First, pray for Muslims to turn to Jesus as their Lord. More Muslims are becoming Christians today than at any time in Islamic history. The Quran teaches that Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, ascended to heaven and will return at the end of history. Now thousands of Muslims are seeing visions and dreams of Jesus and trusting him as their Savior. Pray for millions more to follow him as their Lord.

Second, support Muslim-background believers (MBBs) in prayer and personal encouragement. Muslim converts to Christianity frequently face intense persecution for their new faith. At the same time, they are often our best missionaries to the Islamic world. Look for ways to help MBBs in your community and around the globe.
