Muslim worship

general thoughts

“What do you think of when you see a picture of Muslims at prayer?  Maybe they’re onto something we as Christians may be missing.  The chief word in the Old Testament for a right relationship to God is not faith or love, but fear – you prostrate yourself before deity in humble awe.  We like to think of the “man upstairs”, the lover, the friend, the brother.  We seem to have lost the majesty, the grandeur, the holiness – the wholly otherness of our God.  Most of us never prostrate ourselves before His majesty.”

Robertson McQuilkin, the five smooth stones
