This is a request for you all to please support the brothers and sisters over at Berean Call.
You should sign up for their newsletters. There is so much information, encouragement and fellowship to be taking part in. I recieved my latest newsletter this morning and was just heartbroken at what is happening to Christians put to suffering because of their faith & faithfulness. Here is an excerpt:
In June, North Korean's beastly communist dictatorship executed a 33 year old Christian woman for distributing Bibles, while also imprisoning her 3 little children, husband and parents, in conditions undoubtedly ghastly.
Several weeks ago, mobs involving hundreds, and perhaps thousands, of enraged radical Islamists destroyed several Christian villages in Pakistan, responding to incendiary rumors about Christians supposedly desecrating the Koran. Hundreds of homes were destroyed, and at least 14 Christians were murdered, including three Christian women and a child who were burned alive as the radicals torched houses and shops.
We are living (for now) in a time when some of us can freely support the faith. Let's do all we can. The time is already here where some Christians are having to put their lives on the line for their beliefs. The least WE "free and safe" Christians can do is give our support, including spreading the word and rallying around the ministries that are out there.
Be blessed & be a blessing.
Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. -1 Thess. 5:11 Peace --Free
I've been tweeting with all sorts of folks lately. One of the things I love so much about Twitter is that I get to touch bases with people I might never otherwise share moments with.
Recently I've been tweeting with a person who wants to know about Jesus. CARM lays out the answers in a wonderful and concise way. The article shows Jesus is divine, to be worshipped, prayed to, and that he is first and last. Beautiful.
These tweetpals of mine are a source of encouragement and smiles. If I feel silly, I can share that light moment with them. If I am in need of prayer, I only have to send the tweet out. We have talked food, life, joy and hope. They have put up with my whining about my computer and the weather, but they never stop reminding me that we are brothers and sisters sent to be a blessing to one another. These are some seriously beautiful people.
If are on Twitter, check out these folks. If you aren't on Twitter, well... GET on there! Look what you are missing! LOL.
Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. (I Thess 5:11)
