Christians and Muslims and Peace... Oh my!
I recently read an article, a response actually by Christian leaders to a Muslim letter calling for peace and unity. This letter was signed by a number of people including Bill Hybels of Willow Creek Community Church, Rick Warren of Saddleback Church and by Brian McLaren.
Jeremiah 6:14 (NASB) states,
It saddens my heart to read about "Christian leaders" who are willing to throw away all the essentials of the Christian faith for unity with a false religion citing "common ground", a "love of God", and a "love of neighbor" as the reasons."And they have healed the brokenness of My people
superficially, Saying, 'Peace, peace,' But there is no peace."
A closing quote from the article leaves us with a chilling reminder of what we need to consider.
The future of the world depends on our ability as Christians and Muslims to live together in peace. If we fail to make every effort to make peace and come together in harmony you correctly remind us that “our eternal souls” are at stake as well.
Because Truth matters,
George
