If we appease the intrusion of Islam into our lives ,we cannot claim that we might be acting as Christ did. Archbishop Welby says ..."one of the biggest characteristics of Jesus was not being frightened about who He talked to". But it would be good if it were so simple.<br />If we do not truly believe and promote in every action in our lives that Jesus said :<br /> " I am the way ,and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me", then, we deny Christ. <br />If we do not proclaim Christ, then we are acting in fear as Peter did in the Garden of Gethsemane . <br />"The Lord turned and looked upon Peter and Peter remembered the word of The Lord..." Luke 22:61<br />We should learn from the momentary weakness of Peter and try to gain strength from this account .<br />In being a 'Near Neighbour' we should not water down our own Faith and ,at the same time, guard against confusing the ethos of Islamophobics with standing as a Christian.Simple soulnoreply@blogger.com
