I am in the process of reading the Koran. In some ways, Muslims have an understanding of repentance and the mercy of the Almighty. They understand that there is but one God. But there is something else that stands out as I read the Koran. About every other page, there is reference to hellfire for those who don’t believe. They have a concept of faith, but their faith is put in a deity who is described as gaining our allegiance through fear. There is no savior who loved us enough to be born in a stinky manger and pay for our sins through a tortuous death on a cross.

That is exactly what Muslims in the Middle East and North Africa are facing! These people do not have the true Scriptures. We will feature the “Bible-less” peoples of North Africa and the Middle East this month. Let’s pray that these peoples who are in such a desperate spiritual state will find spiritual answers in the Bible, which most of them lack!
