He is the author of Loving Your Muslim Neighbor. Timothy, as always, it is such a blessing and an honor to have you back with us as we dive into the next couple of chapters of your book.
And for the listeners, if you have a copy of this book, it is chapters 36 through 38. These titles are a real eye-opener. And the titles of these chapters are you are sad over a lost game than a lost soul. Many Muslims are secretly seeking. And when a terrorist attack happens, how do you respond to the news? So, Timothy, thank you so much for being here with us. And as always, we're doing this episode at such a hot political time. So thank you, brother, for joining us with this episode.
It's the honor is totally all mine, brother. Thank you for having me again.
Oh, such a blessing. All right. Let's get ahead and dive on into this thing. So we're going to start with segment one and the title of this chapter is chapter 36. You are sad over a lost game than a lost soul. This is such a convincing and convicting title. We get so caught up in temporary things of life like sports or entertainment. But when it comes to a lost soul, where is the urgency? So let me ask you this, Tim. How much do we as Christians really care about lost people? Are we in touch with the heart of our father in heaven and with Jesus when it comes to those that are lost?
Yeah, such a such a good question, Brandon. So the basically the background that of that question is. the whole idea of being sadder over a lost game than a lost soul, the background of it is that I'm a huge football fan. I love college, but especially pro football. And I was blessed to do maybe four or five chapels for the Atlanta Falcons football team when they came to Michigan to play the Detroit Lions. Nice. Yeah, it was just fantastic. It was so great. And and so because of that, I got to know some players and actually they would always give us free tickets. They would the night before the game when I did the chapel, they'd invite us to eat with the players. And so I would take one son each time. And so, you know, it was just so cool for for me and for our sons to meet these, you know, larger than life pro football players on TV. And so it came about that there was a game in January of 2013, and the Falcons could win it.
as time was running out, if they made the field goal. And so I just found myself, I still remember it in our living room. I was on my knees praying as the kicker approached the ball, as he was getting ready to try to attempt the field goal. I'm on my knees praying for him and for the team. And I told a gentleman in our organization, our missions agency, I told him about this. And he literally said, I rebuke you in the name of Jesus. Wow. Yeah, yeah. And so he's an older man that I have such giant respect for. In fact, this guy has helped start three different missions agencies. And he has recruited – literally hundreds of people to go to the mission field. And so I said, what's the deal, man? Why are you rebuking me like this?
And he said, you know, I am a big Philadelphia Eagles football fan. And one time they lost a game. And I just felt like that, you know, I was real despondent about it. And I just sensed the Lord was saying to me, you are sadder over a lost game than a lost soul.
