What experts are saying...

"With the world coming to the doorsteps of North America, we no longer must cross oceans to tell Muslims about Jesus. They are beside us at work, school and in our neighborhoods. John Klaassen's book provides practical, biblical and compassionate wisdom on sharing the gospel with our Muslim friends. I pray that God will use this book to Christians develop friendships with Muslims that will lead to opportunities to share Jesus."
Kevin Ezell, President, North American Mission Board

"Engaging with Muslims is the place to begin for those who are serious both about understanding their Muslim neighbors and reaching them with the gospel."
Dr. J. Scott Bridger, Director of the Jenkins Center for the Christian Understanding of Islam at SBTS

"Engaging with Muslims is an excellent work that is easy-to-read, understand, and apply to life.  As a pastor, I am always looking for such resources to recommend to my church when it comes to making disciples of all nations.  Klaassen does an outstanding job of providing a brief, highly practical, one-stop-shop on how we should view, understand, and minister to the Muslims around us. A wonderful resource for your church!"
Dr. J. D. Payne, Pastor of church multiplication, The Church at Brook Hills, Birmingham AL

"Engaging with Muslims will give anyone the confidence and the tools to befriend and share with the many Muslims that live in the US.  I am excited to provide this book to the members of my church as we continue to reach out to Muslims at home and around the world."
Mike Wall, Associate Pastor of Global Kingdom Ministries, Henderson Hills Baptist Church, Edmond OK

The cross shows the seriousness of our sin, but it also shows us the immeasurable love of God. - Billy Graham

John Stott on the "old man" and the "body ruled by sin" in Rom 6 v 6

  There are, in fact, two quite distinct ways in which the New Testament speaks of crucifixion in relation to holiness. The first is our death to sin through identification with Christ; the second is our death to self through imitation of Christ.  On the one hand, we have been crucified with Christ. But on the other we have crucified (decisively repudiated) our sinful nature with all its desires, so that every day we renew this attitude by taking up our cross and following Christ to crucifixion.  The first is a legal death, a death to the penalty of sin; the second is a moral death, a death to the power of sin.  The first belongs to the past, and is unique and unrepeatable; the second belongs to the present, and is repeatable, even continuous. I died to sin (in Christ) once; I die to self (like Christ) daily. It is with the first of these two deaths that Romans 6 is chiefly concerned, although the first is with a view to the second, and the second cannot take place w...

Boice: “... the federal way of dealing with us was actually the fairest and kindest of all the ways God could have operated. ”

  Adam had been appointed by God to be the representative of the race so that if he stood, we too would stand, and if he fell, we would fall with him. Adam did fall, as we know.  So death passed upon everyone. “But isn’t that terribly unfair?” someone protests. “Isn’t it cruel for God to act in this fashion?” ... the federal way of dealing with us was actually the fairest and kindest of all the ways God could have operated.  Besides, it was the only way it would later be possible for God to save us once we had sinned. In other words, federalism is actually a proof of God’s grace, which is the point the passage comes to (vv. 15 ff.). It was gracious to Adam first of all. Why? Because it was a deterrent to his sin. God must have explained to Adam that he was to represent his posterity. That might have restrained him from sinning. A father who might be tempted to steal his employer’s funds (and would if only he himself were involved), might well decide not to do it if he kne...

Repackaging the gospel? It's more like obscuring the gospel!

Preface : I recognize this post may make me unpopular with some, but I think it is an important issue to blog about here.  I’ve had time to reflect on this video and in my opinion, I think what is in this video raises some questions.  This gentleman featured below is slotted to speak at the SBC's 2020 Pastors' Conference and it prompted me to think more about this illustration.  I want to note that I don't know him and I have no personal issue with him.   I assume he is a brother in the LORD.  Having said that, I see some significant issues here that relate to this type of preaching being clear on the gospel of Jesus Christ. In fact, it appears to be obscuring it in my observation. Concern:  Should the SBC or churches, in general, be in the habit of holding this up as a  good and healthy example?  Let's think about it some together.  (Watch this clip below here first.) Context:  The clip was posted to stand on its own a...
