It keeps pressing on me how blessed we are. We read about martyrs and the price they paid for their faith in history books. We are so far from persecution we can even spend idle time debating theology on an internet forum.
Today during church it really struck me that people are being martyred right now, being put to death because they refuse to convert to Islam and turn their back on Christ!
I'm praying for them. I think the whole Christian world is praying for them, but I'm also in awe of them that they cling to Jesus even when it costs them their life. I hope I will have such courage and pray that I will. History is being made right now and the Holy Martyrs Of Iraq will serve as an example to Christians for centuries to come if the Lord tarries.
God be with them and strengthen them!!
