Islam: A Challenge to the Christian Church

Is Islam a harbinger of truth and peace as world leaders and Muslim apologists insist, or is Islam a religion in crisis ? To answer this question correctly, we would do well to listen to the teachings of Jesus who rightly pointed out that by their fruits you will know them (Matt. 7:20). In other words, fruit is the telltale sign of something real, because fruit doesn’t lie. Instead, fruit (or the kind of it) exposes the tree. For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. For every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush (Luke 6:43-44).
