Engaging Islam: The War for Truth Has Begun

" Love that never speaks truth isn’t love at all - it’s comfort disguised as compassion."

There’s a battle raging — not one fought with weapons or politics, but with ideas. In a world that prizes tolerance over truth, we’ve been told that all faiths are simply different paths to the same God. It sounds peaceful. It sounds enlightened. But it’s a lie.

The moment you claim that Jesus is the Son of God, Islam says He isn’t. The moment you declare that He died for our sins, Islam insists He did not. The differences aren’t minor theological footnotes — they cut to the very core of who God is and how humanity is saved.

That’s why I wrote Engaging Islam: Biblical Answers to 10 Common Islamic Objections. For too long, Christians have avoided these conversations out of fear — fear of saying the wrong thing, fear of offending, fear of not knowing enough. But truth doesn’t need a marketing campaign; it needs believers who are willing to stand firm, speak clearly, and love deeply.

When Silence Becomes the Church’s Weakness

Most Christians have at least one story like this: a co-worker, a neighbor, a friend who’s Muslim asks a question about faith, and we freeze. We change the subject or give a vague answer, hoping to keep the peace. But in our attempt to avoid conflict, we often abandon clarity.

Meanwhile, Islam continues to advance with confidence and conviction. Muslims are bold about what they believe, while many in the Church hesitate to even open their Bibles outside of Sunday morning. The problem isn’t that Islam is strong — it’s that the Church has grown quiet.

We can’t afford that silence anymore. We are living in an age of confusion, where truth is treated as optional and conviction as arrogance. But if the next generation of believers doesn’t understand why Jesus alone bridges the gap between God and man, we risk raising up a Church that can’t tell truth from tolerance.

The Bridge Only Christ Can Build

Before we can respond to Islamic objections, we have to understand what’s at stake. Both Christianity and Islam claim to show the way to God. Both acknowledge sin, judgment, and the need for redemption. But only one offers a bridge that actually holds.

Christianity proclaims that the gap between God and humanity was bridged by Jesus Christ Himself. “I am the way, the truth, and the life,” He declared in John 14:6. “No one comes to the Father except through Me.” That isn’t a statement of arrogance — it’s one of mercy. Every other religion teaches that humanity must climb its way up to God. Jesus is the only One who came down to rescue us.

In Islam, salvation is achieved through submission, obedience, and performance. In Christianity, salvation is received through faith in the finished work of Christ. One says “try harder.” The other says “it is finished.” That’s not a small difference — it’s the difference between human effort and divine grace.

Truth That Confronts and Redeems

Engaging with Muslims isn’t about attacking people; it’s about confronting deception. The goal isn’t to win arguments but to win souls. Muslims are not the enemy — deception is. And the only way to defeat deception is with truth spoken in love.

When we speak to our Muslim friends, we’re not debating strangers; we’re reaching for sons and daughters whom God deeply loves. But love that never speaks truth isn’t love at all — it’s comfort disguised as compassion. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the most loving message the world has ever heard, precisely because it calls humanity to repentance and offers reconciliation through grace.

If you believe the Bible is true, then you believe eternity is on the line. That’s why this matters. These aren’t abstract theological debates; they’re conversations with eternal consequences.

Why I Created the Engaging Islam Series

This Engaging Islam series exists to equip believers to stand firm in truth and speak with confidence. Across ten core objections — from “The Bible is corrupted” to “Jesus isn’t God” — we’ll walk through Scripture, history, and reasoned evidence to show that Christianity is not only defensible, but undeniable.

You don’t need a theology degree to engage in these conversations. You just need to know your Bible and believe what it says. God doesn’t call us to be scholars; He calls us to be witnesses. And when you’re grounded in truth, you can engage with boldness and compassion at the same time.

I believe we’re living in a defining moment for the Church. Islam is growing. Deception is spreading. But so is the hunger for truth. This is our time to rise — not with arrogance, but with authority; not with fear, but with faith.

Final Word

We don’t fight with hatred or pride. We fight with truth.
Truth isn’t harsh — it heals.
But it only heals when it’s spoken.

The world doesn’t need another quiet Christian. It needs believers who know what they stand for and why they stand on it.
Jesus didn’t die to make peace with lies — He died to set captives free.

So, let’s rise up. Let’s engage Islam — not with fear, but with faith.
Let’s leave the sidelines and build the Kingdom.
