Kev and I just finished reading the novel, Safely Home, by Randy Alcorn. It was an awesome book that opened my eyes towards Christian persecution. I like to live in my little bubble where most things are easy and there is not much to ruffle any feathers, but it was disturbing to learn that there are those who are not free to believe.
That never bothered me much, I guess it was easier to think that that was what those people wanted to believe... On church last week we had a guy by the name of Tom White, director of Voice of the Martyrs. The website is http://www.persecution.com/ amazing stories of how even today there are those that aren't allowed to own a bible, they are beaten and jailed for their beliefs.... This is happening TODAY! all over! These people are risking their lives for just one page or part of the bible. You and I have how many in our houses that collect dust?!
As I talked with Kev about the timing of this all, our mission trip to Nicaragua, Syd to Montenegro, our book and the message last week, we weren't sure what God had planned for us. I think it is to get our minds in the right place. I think God wants us to hide the Word in our hearts. As Americans, we really have it too easy. I am working on breathing the Word in so I can be the person God wants me to be...
can we go back?
