...but the Church does better when it is on the offensive Spiritually.

What exactly does that look like in the practical sense?

And bear in mind, all those "muslim" countries USED to be Christian...

I don't think that somebody could answer the question of “What exactly does that look like in the practical sense?”, since my living out Scripture in my life/environment might “look” different then somebody else living out Scripture in their life/environment. That being said, I do think Jesus gives use directions in His Word...

Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus said unto him, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”

Matthew 5:43-48 “Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

God bless
