We had a guest speaker at church this morning. He is a former Muslim, now Christian convert originally from Baghdad. One thing that stood out in my mind is something he said:
“If you don’t want your Muslim neighbor to live in America, then don’t try to convert him to Christianity, as you’ll be living with him for an eternity.”

Too many times we completely discount an entire group of people based on preconceived prejudices. I’ve done it myself; we’ve all done it. What we need to remember that there are souls behind those signs, believes, and burkas. These are souls which need to hear and obey the Gospel of Jesus.

Also what was also touched on was spreading rumors or prejudices. Our speaker said that when we do that it hurts our message. And how many times do we see that Facebook rumor floating around which we share, share and share again without first checking to see if it is true?
