Time

Ben Hoyer - Friday, July 31, 2009
I saw a little photo yesterday in Time magazine that made me stop reading for a while. There was a big whole in the asphalt and a soldier standing an looking at it. The captions said there was a bomb targeting Christians. The location was outside a church in Iraq. Christians in Iraq are a minority and under attack by the muslim majority. They are trying to drive them out, and they are down from 800,000 to like 500,000 in the last six months or so.
Then this morning I heard a story of a woman in Columbia, who when converted to Jesus left the guerilla war gang she had been with. Then she worked to convert many more out of the gang. In retaliation they tortured and beheaded her the Pastor she was working with. 
I don't really have anything to say on the matter other than twice in the last twenty-four hours the persecution of Christians in other places has made me stop for a moment.
