Occasionally it dawns on me that God uses all types of people in all types of ways to accomplish his purposes and keep his promises. You’ve probably integrated this, but I need ongoing reminders that it’s not “my way or the highway.” God actually gets stuff done with methods and people I’d never expect, ones I’d either overlook or judge unfit.
I think we fall into five basic types regarding our approach to connecting with Muslims. God meets us where we are and uses each of these types. Fight me! Results: Big wins, but beatings and extensive backlash. Cut to the Chase Results: Helps find “persons of peace,” can build a “project-over-people” mentality, may take you to #1 against your desires. You’ve Got a Friend in Me Results: You express God’s delight in every person, but you may never actually get to the Jesus stuff. If It Falls in My Lap Results: God drops someone in your lap! Otherwise some great, maybe life changing, conversations are missed. Not Gonna Happen, My Friend Results: God’s hands are pretty able, so stuff happens. Sadly great faith opportunities are missed. Please take eight seconds to click the type that looks most like you. Thank you.
