Response to "Burn the Quran Day"

Much controversy has circled this upcoming event which I hope doesn't happen. For one, it is not in the spirit of Christ. Pastor Terry Jones is working off of nationalism and not scripture. Jesus says to love our enemies and to spread the gospel. If anything, it showed the true feeling of many muslim countries that they wish "death to America."

One, there is nothing in the Quran that denies the truth of the gospel. If Allah has revealed the scriptures and guarded them (Surah 5:9), how could have the Christians corrupted it? Then you make your God to be a liar. The Quran is not our enemy, we can use it to point our muslim friends to the truth of the one true God of Abraham who's name is YHWH, not Allah.

Pray for Israel as Iran has used this as an opportunity to become more virulent toward "their annihilation." Pray for Christians in Muslim countries who will be persecuted even more because of this. Pray for Muslims to experience the love of Jesus in spite of everything and gain salvation. Pray for this country. God hears!
