We cannot defeat political Islam until we get Christian boots on the ground. Do the math. The pulpits must become a source of courage and knowledge and stand up for Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, and all others who suffer under Islam's persecution today and who have suffered for the last 1,400 years.

It isn't just about religion; it is about the survival of our civilization. Are you lukewarm or not?

It is mentioned in our conservative Lutheran church. We pray for those actively persecuted for the faith, that the Holy Spirit would strengthen them and keep them safe for Heaven.

The way this evil world is going, someday we will need those prayers for us and our children.

weirdly the only media figure who made a stink about muslims killing christians, has been(dem mouthpiece and apologist) Bob Beckel on FoxNews “The Five”.... who got so riled up he had to apologize for the way he presented it.

"And so the response found in nearly every church to the murder of Christians is...wait for it...complete silence."

False generalization of this kind is the sin of slander. The statement is also false, some people just go to the wrong church. Many of us mention it, also in sermons where the text address the subject directly, pray about it and warn our young people about it, as it is also more and more coming here in different forms

Sorry, is crap.

Most churches do speak of the persecution of Christians around the world, they just do not do so in a way that would make them seem like a news hour on who is being persecuted every day.

They spend their time preaching the word and teaching about the precepts of God. If in the course of teaching they come to a message that touches upon one being persecuted for one’s belief, then they will mention it.

Some people are under the impression that a Pastor should spend the majority of their time speaking of the atrocities against Christians around the world, but they are wrong.

A sermon is about the Word, and bringing those listening into a better understanding of it, It is also about explaining why one must be saved.

Believe me, those in church know about Christians being persecuted around the world.

I am speaking inn general terms obviously, because there are those churches who are not following the gospel, but that is another topic all in it’s own.

It was mentioned at my Catholic Church. My priest has joked about the fact that he preaches with the Bible in one hand and the newspaper in the other.
