jenniferschwab - Jesus on the Clearance Rack

My aunt sent me a video that woke me up this morning. It was a 7.5 minute long video describing in
detail how Muslims are going to outnumber everybody in the next 50 years,
simply because they're have 8 times the number of kids we are. Which is true. And after 7 minutes of statistics and scary
background music it ended like this:

"As believers, we call upon you to join the effort and share
the gospel message with the changing world.
This is a call to action."

Now, if you'd watched the preceding 7 minutes, you would
have thought their call to action would be something like: "If you're a
Christian, go have 20 babies NOW." But
the call to action was to share the gospel.
And deep down within me, my spirit said,

"Well, duh."

The statistics that they reported are accurate. The Muslim culture is popping out a heck of a
lot more kids than we are. But it's a
culture shift that's happening, not necessarily a faith shift. Because
the reality is that most Europeans and Americans don't really believe in Jesus anyway.
It's a Christian culture, but not faith. We go to the cathedrals and churches
out of habit, but we've long been asleep at the wheel.

Similarly, most Muslims aren't really followers. It's their culture, and
they pray on Fridays and fast during Ramadan (going on now) more out of habit
and expectations (fear of stoning) than anything else. Allah to them is
the same lucky rabbit's foot that Jesus is to most
"Christians."

The real issue is that people are leaving their faith at a
faster rate than ever before, and my generation is leading the way. The message
that we're selling is on the clearance rack, and nobody's buying. So the real question isn't, "How do we get
rid of these pesky Muslims?"-but how do we reach out to our friends and
neighbors with the reality of Jesus?

How do we?
