First Christian persecution is going to happen and in the end days, millions of faithful will be slaughtered before the rapture.
Second, American Christians themselves are under political persecution from this very administration. The article itself demonstrates this with the bill being ignored by Harry Reid. Obama will not mount a ‘crusade’ to save Christians in the Middle East or anywhere lest he be accused of violating church & state. Stopping religious persecution is not a sacred secular cause.
Lastly, I do think many Churches here are afraid for their congregations here. Western Christians are soft and many are not yet tempered for the trials that are to come. Truly, courage these days is lacking on many fronts in both the cause of Liberty and God.
Personally, I pray everyday for Christians in the Middle East and meditate on their trials, tribulations, and deaths. All I can do is pray for them and for myself that when the day of calling comes here, I too will either stand or kneel in final faithful service to God.
Remember, many Americans are ARMED to the teeth.
