I appreciate your thoughtful compliments. But, please transfer all the applause and admiration to Tom and Bluesagewoman. They are there a lot more than myself on a regular basis, enduring the harsh weather elements and not so friendly people from x to x. (x= time)
The location of the mosque here in Columbia is located on 5th Street between Locust and Elm. It is at the corner of Fifth & Locust, and it is approximately about 3-4 blocks from where Tom, Bluesagewoman and I stand.
The USPO is on Walnut between 6th and 5th Street. The CPD (Columbia Police Department) is cattycorner across the street from the USPO. The (CPD) is between 6th and 7th Street on Walnut.
The mosque here in Columbia located on 5th and Locust, also has the following words written above their front doors- both in Arabic and English. It states as follows:
In The Name of Allah
The Beneficent The Merciful
Say O People Of The Scripture
(Christians & Jews) Come To Common
Terms As Between Us & You That We
Worship None But Allah (GOD)
Quran Suran III Verse 64.
What a "(CONTRAST)" between those words and The Words of JESUS that He Spoke over 2000 years ago!
Revelation 22:17
And The Spirit and the bride say, COME!
And, let (him/her) that heareth say COME!!
And, (WHOSOEVER) will let (him/her)
take The Water of Life FREELY!!!
This also cross references with John 4:14
But, (WHOSOEVER) drinketh the water that I shall give (him/her) shall NEVER thirst. But, the water that I shall give (him/her) shall be in (him/her) a well of water springing up into Everlasting Life!
What a CONTRAST! I don't know about you , but I'll take the latter!!!
Snowflake-
Thanks for the postcard. I agree with your comments about Islam. I hate the wool that is over people's eyes when it comes to the true teachings of this religion. We must not only pray for the Muslim world, but also share the Gospel effectively with these people. I am beginning a friendship with a Muslim person, please pray for me in this. Keep up the good work and thank you for the constant encouragement.
