Thanks again for the update I left a comment yesterday but I don't see it here. So for those who view this, pray for all the persecuted Christians around the world.

@Starmannsc Glitchy YouTube. Nothing but problems.

I can't stop thinking about the pregnant woman in Pakistan, who wouldn't renounce Christ even to save her unborn baby.

I'm almost certain that not even 1% of us Christians here in the U.S. are so much devoted.

That beaten woman is going to be like a queen in Heaven. Meanwhile, most American Christians are thinking that's where they'll be sitting instead, having been tested not at all, and having proved nothing or even caring to do so.

@GlobalBurden Thank-you for posting this video. You hit the nail right on the head on this one. Let us all pray for the Christians around the world, and its time for Christians in North America to stand up and proclaim the truth.

@themilitanttemplar I've yet to read a report on persecution-org wherein the martyr backs down and gives in. Third-world Christians hang tough as nails! Brand-new Christians, hauled out of hellhole Iranian jails and tempted with freedomm but they hang tough. And my favorite is in my report for September 18, where some kids at a Laotian orphanage no sooner find Christ than the state threatens to turn them out. Brand new Christians - mere children! - but they defy the state and stick with Christ.

I exceeded my self-imposed two-minute time limit again. Another sadly busy week in the news.

If any of these headlines strikes you as impossible, then pm me and I will send you the link to the source article.
