No doubt most of you have heard about the shooting in Colorado this past Sunday. Physical and spiritual attacks are definitely on the rise against God's people here in America. This can only means that breakthrough is on the horizon. Let's press on and pray through for revival in the States. Below is an excerpt from a moving and thoughtful blog posting by my host family head, Matt, regarding this tragic incident. Read, reflect, and pray.
My wife, Heidi's best-friend is a YWAM leader at a base in Colorado Springs. She and her husband have been based there for years. Their offices are located in New Life Church. For the past two years in a row we have gone back there to visit them and to go snow shoeing. Yesterday there were fatal shootings both at the church and at a nearby YWAM base. It doesn't get much press, but the persecution of Christians is on the rise. In fact, some human rights groups identify Christians as the most widely persecuted group in the world (not to minimize the tragedy of the persecution of any other group). Learn more by visiting www.persecution.org. Is persecution against Christians on the rise here in the U.S.? As Christians are openly maligned and mocked (sometimes we have it coming, but it is increasingly becoming an unjust stereotype that overlooks the majority position of Christians), I believe that injustice is subtly creeping in where if it was took place against other groups, it would create a much greater reaction.
