Fear and Shame

​Galatians 5:22

Muslims live in a fear and shame-based existence. The Hui people are a group of over 10.5 million living in north-west China who will borrow money to treat their guests in order to avoid dishonor. Muslims always seek to honor one another and to protect each other from shame. Bringing shame to one’s family would be one of the worst things a Muslim could do. 

1. Have you ever brought shame to yourself or your family? 

2. Did you or your family offer forgiveness? 

Challenge: Muslims are seeking the truth, but are also afraid of bringing shame to their family. Pray for courage for the Muslims who are seeking Christ. Be open to sharing your faith with a Muslim.
