Do we really know what we are taught growing up???
This past Sunday at the Susquehanna Valley Church of Christ we had a guest speaker named Wissam. He help a lecture Saturday night about his journey from Islam to Christianity. It was a very good series and very enlightening. Wissam is originally from Baghdad, Iraq, and his journey was a long one!!! He went to school here in America to learn more about God’s word and evangelism. He now works in Taylor Michigan reaching out to the Arab community and sharing the Gospel!!!
Wissam said something in the morning Bible study that really rang true for me and made me rethink some positions I have been taking out life in general. Wissam said that a lot of Muslims he has been teaching really don’t know and understand Islam, because they were just raised in Muslim home and never really learned Islam for themselves!!!
I think this applies to a lot of different things in life. We grow up being taught something and we go through the motions because it is what our parents want, but we never really learn what it means. This could be religion, politics, culture, ethics, morals, and the list could go on. If we never take the time to internalize an ideology and make it our own, and question it, we will never truly be free to take our own path in life!!!
