Don’t start with me. “Missionary marriage.” I’ll retire to Bedlam.

You know..., it is interesting that there are some high profile cases of Christian women who have married Muslim men, and those men, today, are great witnesses for Christ. I’m not saying this as a way of promoting such a thing, because I think it is a grave mistake. But, it is very interesting that God has taken such a thing and turned it for the good in some cases.

One such case is (if I remember correctly; and I think I do...) a Dr. Ergun Caner, the President of Liberty University (the one associated with Dr. Jerry Falwell). I think Dr. Ergun Caner is a wonderful witness for Christ and I believe he’s the first, ever, former Muslim to be the President of a Christian university.

So, even when people do make such grave mistakes, God does have His way about these things and He can turn them for His good. But, as I said above, there’s no point in going the “wrong way” in order to “test God” and see Him turn the wrong thing into something good (as He has done in several cases).

I just had to point out that it’s not always an unmitigated disaster, as one might suppose...
