My Step Brother - East meets West.

<< < (2/5) > >>

Stevernator:
Im guessing he was referring to the negative perception that most Westerners and Christians have
of Muslims and those from the middle east. Many of the images on TV of Muslims are about terrorism.

While that is true Steve, my Moslem brother was actually refering to my safety.

The crime here is out of control.

Now I do not want to scare any of you or get you to unfaithfully start to get the gitters for me, but, it is a wild west here and like most places in the world today, it is very volatile.

Lawlessness rules the day. That lawlessness is the idea that one has control to do what one likes and get away with the consequences which many many time is what seemingly happens here.  The wicked are thriving. Have you not seen it too? Of course you have!

We all know what lawlessness is now don't we. Lawlessness is belief in free will.

That is what my Moslem friend and others who ask if I am not afraid for my life, are refering to. Safety from the seeming randomness and unaccountability of "free will".

I know if God see's that to humble me, he should arrange for a demented fellow to come and knock me down and half club me to death, it will happen. I know that. If it is meant to happen that a person comes in to hurt me, it will be under the watchful eye of God. What ever happens, God is in control.

I do not tempt God to prove it either! I know God is God! I hold on to that when asked if I fear for my life.

My life is not my own.

The cross HE has set before me is the one I am to take. I pray HIS  endurance, faith and  strenght to follow that I most surely do not have of my own capacity! Non of us do! That is what I realise when asked if I fear for my life. There is nothing I can do to save it.

Blessed Peace be with us!

Wow, Acturus--
I hope that He gives me the type of resolve you have, should I be in your shoes some day! God's peace to you too!

Hi Arcturus,

You certainly have had some incredible encounters at your shop!

I bet that young man's head was spinning by the time he left, I have little doubt he had never met a "Christian" quite like you before.  ;)

What an awesome experience that must have been, that really gives much to meditate on in regard to being ready to give an answer as we never really know who and when God might send someone our way to plant a seed in their spirit.

Praise God!

His Peace and Wisdom to you Sister,

Joe

Deborah-Leigh:
Hi Joe, Kat and Joyful!

I did not have time to respond this morning so here is the most wonderful reply I can quote back to you that comes from a most Dear Brother that bears reference to my Moslem step brother because I learnt from him and won't soon be forgetting him either.  :)

God can certainly choose to reveal portions of His spirit of Truth to whomever He chooses, no matter what religion they are, or even whether or not they believe in God at all.

Remember, Christ Himself is Truth.  So anytime a person is speaking genuine truth, they are testifying of Christ, whether they know it or not.
Peace to us all
Arc.
