Whats up famo! its ya boi Konviction, at it again, spending time on blogger gettin ill wit da pen! Ha Ha!
Just decided to craft up an opinion about something that has garnered much attention down here in da Holy South! In Gainsville, Fl, approximately 2 hours north of Orlando, there is a church and surrounding community planning a Quran burning ceremony in observation of 9/11 and the World trade Center Bombings. The Dove World Outreach Center is hosting what is being called "International Burn a Quran Day" on the ninth anniversary of the attacks.
"We believe that Islam is of the devil, that it's causing billions of people to go to hell, it is a deceptive religion, it is a violent religion and that is proven many, many times," Pastor Terry Jones told CNN's Rick Sanchez earlier this week. While there are some supporting the issue, many, including hordes of Christians, are against it.
The National Association of Evangelicals, the nation's largest umbrella evangelical group, issued a statement urging the church to cancel the event, warning it could cause worldwide tension between the two religions.
While I am obviously no Muslim, and wholeheartedly embrace the salvation of Jesus Christ and the sanctification of the Holy Ghost publicly, it is very important that Christians understand that these actions do not reflect the nature, character, nor intentions of the God we serve. The Apostle Paul, writing in his classic treatise on the topic of love, states that "without love, it profits us nothing" 1Cor. 13:3.
How, then, can we as saints, love God, yet despise and put to shame that which He created? In His own image and likeness?
How can a man claim to know and love Christ, yet hate his brother?? Or as the popular slogan would suggest, What would Jesus Do? Any hints?
I got one for ya.
Love bears all, believes all, and endures all things. God is Love. Love is that cure-all for humanity. Christ, referring to himself, states, "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me." (John 12:32) The lifting of Christ, His physical death and resurrection, is a symbol of compassion to the lost, representing God's love to the nations and various peoples of the World, especially those who despised, rejected, and accursed His Name, His Kingdom, and His Glory.
The Great Physician..came to deliver, to heal the sick, wounded, and confused. The blind and bound....
What doctor, then, of a Just and Righteous nature, would, laying His eyes upon a sick and dying generation, refuse them treatment???
Not My God. My Healer. My Deliverer.
What can wash away my sins...What can make me whole again??
Nothin but the love of Jesus...
The Great Recompense, the Ransom, the Bond. Foll All People.
Rich, Poor, White, Green, Fat, Skinny, Saved, and Unsaved. And Muslims. For He wishes that No man would perish.
Instead, why don't we transform that rally into Share Christ With a Muslim Day? A Day of reconciliation, healing, and transformation. Invite the Spirit of Promise, and stand back and let Him do His work!
Watch Muslims watch the Spirit of Christ, break generational yokes, burdens, and divisions that have existed among people for generations....
Our God is a God of restoration. This sounds much more like Him!
