Brethren in Chains

Dr. James Galyon is an internet friend of mine, and a chaplain in the US military. He is always rightly concerned about the persecution of Christians worldwide.  He has three short articles up on his blog today. Here is the latest. You ought to read it and the two that came just before it.

We like to think that we are radical, counter-culture Christians because of our bumper-stickers; and we fail to share our faith because we'd hate for people to think that we are some sort of religious fanatics. Your brothers and sisters around the world are being harassed, raped, sold into slavery, and executed for no reason other than their faith in Jesus Christ. Please pray for them...and for us.

Mad, Sad, and Convicted

This isn't anything you and I haven't already noticed (and been disgusted by) but at least someone nationally is starting to say it. The Muslim religion has become a protected class in the eyes of the Federal gummint. Where are all the loonies from groups like People for the American Way, protesting the fact that Islam is clearly on-track to become a government-endorsed, "established" religion in the USA? Being plagued with foolish and idiotic leadership is one of the most lamentable ways that God pours out judgment on a nation. We have met the enemy and he is....every ivy-league moron that holds power in America.

Also, here's a good (and brief) article from RC Sproul Jr and Ligonier Ministries, about how to deal with the phenomenon of Christians converting to Roman Catholicism.

Then, there's this short article here, spinning off of one foreign missionary's surprising experience of great laziness on the mission field by other American missionaries. I had never heard of anything like this before. It'll get your blood boiling...until the trap springs and your own foot is caught like mine was.
