Persecution

2 Timothy 3:2
12Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

I just read a story at The Voice of the Martyrs website. Five muslim men walked into a Christian institute of somekind and killed three Christians because of their hatred for Christ and His Church. Two of the men who were killed were converts from Islam and the other was a missionary from Germany.

The church in Turkey (which is where it happened) wrote a letter to the Church abroad. The pastor of the church said this "Please pray for the Church in Turkey. “Don’t pray against persecution, pray for perseverence,” urges Pastor Fikret Bocek".

THIS IS REAL CHRISTIANITY!!!!!!!!!!!

How much do you or I cherish Jesus Christ. My heart is broken over the condition of the American Church.

PLEASE PRAY for our brothers and sisters in Christ that face this kind of opposition every day. There is so much we can learn from them.

Certainly, it is easier to see who is a true Christian in times of crisis when their life is on the line.

I would consider America one of the biggest, if not the biggest mission fields in the world. The amount of unbelievers grows with every generation.
