TWO HOUSES
FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 2025
Islam divides up the world into two camps: the House of Islam and the House of War. Muslims believe they belong to the House of Islam, the place where peace dominates. Non-Muslims allegedly belong to the House of War, a place where war is waged against “infidels” to subjugate them to Islam and convert them by force to the Muslim religion.
A Muslim writer who was educated in the United States says, “Islam knows only two societies [in the world], a Muslim society and a pagan non-Muslim society.”1
The House of Islam is a community united by Muslim beliefs, Muslim laws (Sharia), and Muslim observances and goals. In that house there is to be no separation between state and religion. Rather, the state is the patron and guardian of religion.
PRAYER
Merciful Father, your Word tells us that we, your Church, are God’s temple, that God’s Spirit lives in us (1 Corinthians 3:16; Hebrews 3:6), and that we belong to Jesus, the Prince of Peace. However, Muslims view themselves as part of a different structure—a “House of Peace” that is at war with non- Muslims. Their “house” is not built on Jesus Christ, the sure foundation and chief cornerstone (1 Corinthians 3:11; Ephesians 2:20), the One who gives true peace (John 14:27).
I pray for Muslims, that by your Holy Spirit you will draw them to the cross of Jesus to place their faith in him and acknowledge him as their Lord and Savior.
Grant them, before it is too late, to abandon the house that the foolish man built on sand (Matthew 7:24- 27). May they, through the power of the blood of Jesus, become “a holy temple… a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit” (Ephesians 2: 21- 22). “And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in … [their] hearts” (Colossians 3:15). For Jesus’ sake. Amen.
PROMISE
You have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to countless thousands of angels in a joyful gathering. You have come to the assembly of God’s firstborn children, whose names are written in heaven (Hebrews 12:22-23, NLT).
Wisdom and Sensitivity
FRIDAY, JULY 26, 2024 Many Christians who try to evangelize Muslim friends experience frustration and dead ends. They find the cultural, social and religious mindset of Muslims to be totally different from what they are used to. At times, some Christian...
The Widow in Zarephath
FRIDAY, JULY 19, 2024 God sent the prophet Elijah to a widow in Zarephath in the country of Sidon. That entire nation worshipped Baal. But a beautiful surprise was awaiting Elijah! When he met the widow, she immediately let him know that she believed in Jehovah, the...
New Church Leaders
FRIDAY, JULY 12, 2024 There are too few Christian pastors, evangelists, and missionaries from Muslim backgrounds. And from that group, an even smaller number return to work among their own people. The scant number of Gospel workers probably corresponds to the scant...
Islam Projected to Rise
Muslims make up the second largest religious group, with 1.7 billion people, or 24% of the world’s population, followed by religious “nones” (16%), Hindus (15%) and Buddhists (7%). Adherents of folk religions, Jews and members of other religions make up smaller shares of the world’s people.
