We don\u2019t totally blame them for their misinformed views \u2014 they have been taught lies about Christianity from childhood. These lies pose little threat to&nbsp;<em>our<\/em>&nbsp;faith as their corrosive power is no match for the hope we have in Christ and the strength we gain from his body in our city (both foreigners and locals), a strength that keeps us as close to him as we\u2019ve ever been.&nbsp;But these lies are a real and tangible obstacle to the eternal joy of those who believe them. These untruths are like spiritual blinders that keep Muslims from knowing the love of Christ.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.desiringgod.org\/articles\/three-lies-every-muslim-is-taught\"
