[__ Prayer __] Pray for the Persecuted Church

[craigdressler]

Please pray for those believers in places where it is virtually illegal to be a Christian that God would "hide them under the shadow of his wings" and that they would find the spiritual food they need to stay strong in the Lord.

Prayers for these brave people are already included on my list, Craig, along with all Christians everywhere. More and more, Christians everywhere are slowly being challenged to hold firm in our beliefs.

Thanks for bringing this prayer request ... it's a great reminder that we must support each other during these times.

There is much power in prayer!

Muslim Beheads Two Christians in New Jersey
Posted by Parson Rayphe

Back in February of 2013 a muslim in New Jersey shot two Christians in the chest at close range, beheaded them, and buried their bodies, heads and hands in separate graves.

According to New York’s WABC-TV, the Muslim was identified as Yusuf Ibrahim, 28. He was taken into custody after the bodies were found.

While the report said police did not indicate a motive, friends of the victims wondered if it was something to do with religion.

You can read more about the story here but Pamela Geller, who blogs about Islam at Atlas Shrugs, said it “appears to have been a ritual killing, religious in nature.â€


“The victims were Coptic Christians and the murderer was Muslim (and we are painfully aware of the status and treatment of Coptic Christians under Muslim rule in Egypt),†she wrote.

“The killing evokes this passage in the Quran: ‘When thy Lord was revealing to the angels, ‘I am with you; so confirm the believers. I shall cast into the unbelievers’ hearts terror; so smite above the necks, and smite every finger of them!†– Quran 8:12.â€
