The suicide bombers of Islam get much attention. Its their great weapon against the non-Islamic nations. And they are capable of killing plenty of people in one blow, as well as being nearly impossible to stop. We saw that clearly September 11, 2001. When someone is willing to die for a cause, its going to be hard to stop that person from causing something.
But Islam is not the only religion on earth that has such a potent weapon. There is another weapon in the hands of another religion that is far more powerful. Its a weapon that's similar but drastically different. While suicide bombers kill people in an effort to terrorize into submission, Christian missionaries will sacrifice themselves in an effort to inform all people of the salvation in Jesus Christ, the only salvation for man. And suicide missionaries have caused and will continue to cause a revolution in the world at an extent that clobbers anything Muslims can do. Its a force, the truth, that Muslims will only understand after having succumbed to it. When a Christian goes into a dark region of the world there is no fear in him, for while the body is in danger, the soul is secure. And there in the darkness that man shines like a star. What he speaks, the sword from his mouth, the sharp edge of Scripture, has a power that causes wonder and eager curiosity, not fear of man but fear of God. The sword pierces through flesh to the heart of man. We seek not to kill thousands but to convert millions. And we'll do that at any cost, life or limb. It is a suicide mission for many, but its the greatest mission and purpose man can have. And we serve the King of kings, a fire going before us and behind us, a pillar of smoke by day and a pillar of fire by night. It is one coordinated conspiracy from heaven to conquer the ends of the earth and nothing less.
