Minnesota Muslims and culture clash

Excerpt:

Munira Omar applied for a cashier job at Target last week but balked when they called her back for an interview. Sure, she needs the money to help pay for college next year. But the Minneapolis teenager braced for a question about scanning pork products. • "I'm going to say 'no' and stick to my religion and not change who I am for $7 an hour," Omar said.

Pastor McLachlan's message at 4th this morning: Resisting the Drift towards Ungodliness

I Timothy 6:11-16 "But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing, which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen"

We are to be motivated by:

1. Knowing that our God sees us: "in the sight of God"
   
2. Knowing that Christ is coming: "until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing"
   
3. Knowing that God is sovereign: "He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords"
   
   
   
   1. He is invincible
      
   2. He is inaccessible (except through Christ)
      
   3. He is invisible
      
   4. He is immortal
