Our church is having a special prayer service for persecuted Christians this coming Sunday. A Coptic Christian pastor will be present, an Armenian Pastor will as well. We are trying to raise awareness regarding the plight of people of all faith being mercilessly slaughtered for their faith. There is no doubt that the Bible speaks of the persecution of Christians and even the disciples, save John who was sent to the deserted island of Patmos, met with terrible deaths. It hasn't come to America ... yet, but some day we men and women of the faith may be asked to give our lives for the sake of our belief in Christ. Are we prepared to do that? I am trusting God that I will stand for Him if it should ever come to that. These are perilous times. Christians are freely mocked and disregarded as fools. There will come a day when time will be no more and all those who rejected Christ will pay for their sins with their own life. God is not dead, He is very much alive. If you doubt that, ask Him to reveal Himself to you and then be attentive, listening for His answer. It will no doubt come when you least expect it. rlkeller
