“I cried out in desperation, “Lord, where are you? Why do you seem silent to our pleas when we are so desperate for your help?” The enemy taunted in response, “Your faith must not be strong enough.

Subjectively, His salvation is appropriated to individuals through faith in who He is and what He has done.” C.N. Willborn explains.

“I used to call my former financial advisor every few weeks to ask him, ‘What am I worth today?’ My advisor is a great guy, and he performed a superb job of growing my investment portfolio for twenty years, but he never appreciated the irony of my question. A person’s worth, of course, should never be given a dollar value.”

Flashback: Preparing Yourself to Share the Gospel with Muslims
With Muslims present in every country in the world, including yours and mine, it may be wise for us to be well prepared to share the gospel with them. These books will go a long way to doing just that.
The truly wise are humble because they know they still have so much to learn.
