Brothers and Sisters

In a few days I turn 65. I was lonely and prayed for the right guy to spend my life with. God in his goodness gave me all I ask for and more. It's time for another blog spot.

If you aren't up to speed on what's going on in the Muslim part of the Middle East, it's horrible. In Egypt, churches are being burned, believers are being tortured and killed. Genocide of  Christians in Egypt, which has the largest Christian population and dates back to the time of the gospel writer Mark, who was the first evangelist to Egypt, Iraq which has the second largest number of believers (very close in number to Egypt), North Sudan and more places is taking place even as I write. Whatever these people's denomination and style of worship, they are our brothers and sisters, an essential part of the Savior's one body. We need to support these brothers and sisters in any way we can. First of all with our prayers, then alerting other believers and soliciting their prayers for this tragedy, and thirdly whatever else God lays on your heart. We dare not harden our hearts. For more details on this tragic genocide of horrific proportions, go to the Blaze, with Glenn Beck.

BROTHERS AND SISTERS

Our brothers and sisters,

The Christians in Egypt,

Iraq,

Sudan,

Wherever they are found,

Persecuted for their faith,

Tortured,

Killed,

Their churches burned,

Our family members,

Whatever their denomination,

Style of worship,

Unique parts of one body,

One faith,

One baptism,

One Lord and Savior,

Each part is essential,

When one part hurts,

The whole body feels pain,

Cries out for healing,

Hardening our hearts,

Ignoring their plight,

Brings continued destruction,

To all believers.
