Ramadan Begins

I got this email letter today from some dear friends of ours who work closely with Muslims:
Saints,

1.4 billion (1 out of every 5 people on the planet) are Muslim. Yesterday, Muslims around the globe started RAMADAN- the holy month of fasting. Muslims will fast from dawn til dusk each day- not eating or drinking anything during the day. They will often break fast together. They will also try to read thru the entire Quran. The purpose of Ramadan is purify one's self and draw near to God. Below is a link where you can sign up to get a daily email over the next 28 days- it will be a short story and/ or description of a Muslim country and then ask you to pray.
Please consider joining us as we cry out for these precious people who are created in the imagine of God- just as we are- and desperately need Jesus - just as we do!

I just signed up. I used to work with a few Muslim men. This reminds me to pray for them, that God would show them that we sinners can never be "purified" by our good works-- only the perfect righteousness of Jesus in our place, and by His perfect sacrificial death for us on the cross.
