Check out the muscular statements of Christian confession by Dr. Maryam Ibrahim, the Somali woman who has been sentenced to 100 lashes and then hanging because the Muslim courts accuse her of adultery and apostasy. Adultery because they do not recognize her marriage to a Christian man and apostasy because they accuse her of converting to Christianity, when actually she was raised by her Christian mother as a Christian after her Muslim father deserted the family when she was six.
She has a two year old son and is eight months pregnant, giving her ample excuse to renounce Jesus for “the sake of the children.” Instead, she is standing firm in the faith. Not all Christians today are the weaklings we find in the US and Europe.
By the way, have you prayed for this Christian woman today and all those who are suffering for Christ around the world? When our turn comes, we will want others to pray for us. “Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.” (Revelation 2:10)
Bingo.
In America we worry that someone doesn’t like us. That the world sneers at us.
No wonder when you look at what is being preached in modern American churches.
The falling away will be great.
