Yesterday at church, our Bible class discussed Deuteronomy 4. It struck me that in explaining how the nation could find greatness in the Promised Land, God stressed not having a powerful king or leader (i.e., you don't need Moses), not devastating military dominance (i.e., you don't need an Assyrian army), but rather adherence to His torah (see esp. vss. 5 and 6).
Unfortunately, most of what Western historians tell us about the Arab Muslim conquest and oppressive reign is intended to mislead us. Much is outright lies. If you want to be shocked by the truth I urge you to read In God's Path: The Arab Conquests and the Creation of an Islamic Empire by Robert G. Hoyland.
And thank God for the brave Christians who halted the Muslim conquest and enslavement of Europe. The leftists want decolonization? Free Constantinople, the first Christian city in the world, not now still enslaved by Muslims.
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? (Mark 8:36)
Amen to that!
It is nice to read that a king did the best for his people.
Another excellent devotional!
