Resisting the Islamic Invasion Trojan Horse “They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.” Exodus 23:33 What are the facts and forces behind the refugee crisis? What does the future hold? How should we as Christians respond? Priorities The main thing is to keep the main the main thing. Our greatest priority on earth is to love God with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength, and to love our neighbour as ourself. We are to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness (Matthew 6:33). The Great Commission must be our supreme ambition. “All authority has been given to Me in Heaven and on earth. Go therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you…” Matt. 28:18-20 Christ’s last Command must be our first concern.

We are to cross borders, to let the earth hear His

Unto the Least of These The Lord describes the Day of Judgement not so much in terms of the evil that we have done, serious though that is, but in terms of the good that we failed to do. “Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not cloth Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.” Matthew 25:41-43.
