Christians are the most persecuted minority in the world today, and the persecution of Christians is coming to the United States. The killer who gunned down a professor and several students at Umpqua Community College near Roseburg, Oregon, in 2015, was hunting Christians. The nine students he murdered were shot in the head only after they acknowledged their faith in Christ. Well it has been said that the bravest person in the United States was the second person to admit that he was a Christian, knowing he was going to be killed.
“…everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.”
— 2 Timothy 3:12 (NIV)
Lord Jesus I am praying for those believers whose lives are in danger. Protect them I pray and give them the courage to serve You no matter the cost. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
