Every morning when I wake up, I read my Bible. I drive to work listening to a Christian radio station. My truck has two Christian stickers on the rear window. I can pray openly anywhere I want. I have the freedom to stand on the court house steps and pass out religious material, without fear of imprisonment.
This is not true in 51 countries. In many countries the dictator is the only one to be worshiped. To some, other religions, Christians are a threat. You can’t mention the name of Jesus Christ, in Iran or Afghanistan. You won’t see an Ichthous (fish) on a car bumper in Turkey. And I don’t think you’ll see the Gaither Vocal Band in Red Square, Russia.
I often wonder how many Christians there would be if some how our society were to be over turned and Christ were outlawed. Would you go to church Sunday, if the police were in the parking lot, ready to arrest anyone that showed up? The point I’m trying to make, is we do have freedoms like no other nation, and we need to pray for those who don’t have these freedoms.
November, 8th is the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. Continually pray for those living under persecution but especially on November the 8th, Posted Steve Waltrip
