Faith Under Fire

Are you paying attention to current events? Major news networks don't report everything, however. For instance, here's a story from Israel Today which seems most blogworthy. Please stop, read, and pray:

"Gaza-based Muslim groups affiliated with Hamas and possibly Al Qaeda have warned local Christians that Hamas' military conquest of the volatile coastal strip means they must now fully submit to Islamic ritual law..."

Thanks to Hal at The Great Separation for keeping us informed and for sharing a timely scripture for such a time as this:

"All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved." ~ Matthew 10:22

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I even had my 13 year old read the article. I think it opened his eyes, and I told him how much we take for granted here. Stand Firm, that what Christ says.
