Hello Everyone,
Today’s Featured Post is one I hope everyone will read and consider prayerfully:
“Are We as Committed as Our Muslim Neighbors?”
A friend posted some interesting thoughts in response. I am reposting her comment from Instagram with her permission (from robna1222):
I have wondered before what we as Christians would be like if we were as dedicated to our faith as the Muslims, as caring for our church community as the Mormons, and as dedicated to spreading the gospel as the Jehovah’s Witnesses. And … what kind of Christians people from those faiths would make if they knew and accepted the truth of the gospel. Thank you for your dedication to posting such thought-provoking and heart searching topics.
Her thoughts should convict us all!
I’m late with the Newsletter this week, but I’m also reconsidering what day of the week to send it out. Weekends seem so busy for everyone. Anyway, hope you will check out this week’s round-up below.
Blessings,
This Week’s Featured Post:
“Are We as Committed as Our Muslim Neighbors?”
Through the centuries, Christians have been burned at the stake, sawed in two, and crucified. They have been shot, fed to lions, and forced to choose between their faith and their freedom. Many were gassed along with the Jews for harboring their Jewish neighbors.
But according to Voice of the Martyrs, “More men and women are being persecuted today for Jesus than at any other time in human history. Millions of Christians face intense persecution and risk their lives for the sake of the Gospel.”
Yet, the Bible teaches that in the last days, evil, including every kind of persecution will continue to grow. But here in the US, we often feel somewhat insulated from all this. Most of us, probably, can’t imagine beheadings or people being burned alive here. But what if we were faced with the choice to stand up or betray Christ in the face of intense persecution?
And is persecution the only way those who oppose Christianity seek to destroy it? Could they be more committed to their religion and their way of life than we are to spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ?
