THE ETHICS OF PLANTING CHURCHES IN MUSLIM LANDS

Abstract

It has been nearly two thousand years since our Lord uttered those famous last words of His earthly ministry that we now call “the Great Commission.”  First century culture contributed to the rejection of that message as both the religious leaders of the day and the government systems condemned the teaching of Jesus.  Potential barriers to the gospel have not changed throughout the centuries.  Even now, all nations have not been recipients of the gospel teaching of our Lord, therefore the Great Commission must still be in effect for the Church today.
