Comments on: Amazing Quote http://www.theologicalmusingsblog.com/2005/12/29/amazing-quote/ Random discussions about various topics, with an emphasis on simple church and other out-of-the-box thoughts.

I have frequently gone back to it. It is almost as if I am seeing a car crash in front of me. However I longingly stare into its beauty. This man has the option and he chose to suffer for Christ. I often wonder how I will respond if I found myself in this kind of situation. Acts 5:41 Sometimes I too am angered by the way Americans claim to be persecuted by being called bigots and dumb bible thumper. I am glad that VOM brings the truth of persecution and that the suffering saints are continuing to move forward despite the confrontation. I too received this amazing quote.

We get the VOM newsletter as well, and weekly print the prayer list for inclusion in our church bulletin. It really helps keep us focused... I heartily agree -- So many in this country think we are being 'persecuted' when they won't let our children bring candy canes to school... What will happen if/when it truly is life-threatening to be a Christian in the USA? We work with several indigenous missionary organizations, and to hear what people go through when they accept Christ; everything from being ostracized and alienated from friends and family to beatings and death, makes us realize how little actual 'suffering' the US citizen faces for being a Christian (including me, I can be a whiner at times).
