Timothy Harris

We've got to get it out there, get the word out there, witness to as many people as fast as we can. Well, then you're going to do it in your own strength, you know. And so we need a balance between, yes, the days, you know, Paul said are evil. And Jesus said, work while it's day, night is coming when no man can work.

And so we need a balance between, yes, the days, you know, Paul said are evil. And Jesus said, work while it's day, night is coming when no man can work.

So, yeah, there is an urgency, but it has to be balanced by looking at the life of Jesus. I mean, one thing one of my friends said to me one time is, Mark, you know, Tim, you have, I was thinking about a friend, Mark, Tim, you have a sense of the urgency, right?

of the gospel okay that's great you know but when you look at matthew mark luke and john do you ever see jesus running from one village to another do you ever see him being in a hurry and and man that just kind of shocked me like if jesus wasn't in a hurry

to get from village to village, but instead he said in John more than once, I only do what I see my Father doing, I only say what I hear my Father saying. It was just this amazing kind of combination of, yeah, there's an urgency, but yet there's a peaceful going about, sharing the gospel, when, where, how, all about the timing.

Yeah, that that's good. That's really amazing. Now, think about this, too. We have we have what I call bully Christians. They exist. And it's it's it pains me to even say that. And they actually push people further away from the gospel than they do bring people in to the fellowship of Jesus Christ. And we have to be careful with how we witness and how we share the gospel.

You know, we don't need to walk into a Muslim area and just disrespect them because they're not Christian. Like, that's not what we do. That's not what the Bible teaches. And we need to be careful with with how we do that. Now, chapter forty nine, which leads us to the next part, you titled it. What happened to our Muslim friends? They're disappearing.

So what prompted you to title that chapter that?

So what prompted you to title that chapter that?

Well, this was related to, we had three Muslim friends. I have an outreach partner. His name is Gary. And we don't live in the same city now, so it isn't quite the same. We're not able to do this. But for years, we would go out every Thursday, and it was our Muslim outreach day.

And we would just go out in a city here in the Midwest, and we would just search for Muslim people and go love on them, meet them, strike up conversation. And then once we knew enough people, we'd just go back and see them again. And then we'd set up times where, you know, maybe we would have coffee together at Starbucks or something. And so we had three men like this, Muslim men.

And what happened to all three of them was it just seemed like all three of them were making advances toward putting their faith in Jesus. And then all three of them individually, they didn't know each other. Well, two of them did. I take that back. They just disappeared. I mean, it was like all of a sudden they wouldn't answer their phone. they wouldn't return a WhatsApp message or a text.
