The bearded savages have killed most of them. Their goal is to continue doing that in the rest of the world.

The Muslims are driving out Christianity in the ME.
The Left and gaystopo are driving out Christianity in America.

Satan has two allied armies.

Quite possibly and it could also be part of God’s plan. If there are no Christians left, then there is no reason for God to delay judgement.

If they try, I suspect they will give disaffected Muslims a rallying point that will be the breaking of Islam.

Against unnumbered foes
Let courage rise with danger

The problem with victory, is that you need to be prepared to win, fear only works as a governing principle so long as you can keep people afraid of you and all your bases covered. BTW- didn’t ISIS just lose the strategist they had leftover from Saddam?

“Could it be driven from America?”

Well, intuitively I would say no. But then again, Christianity was the dominant religion in the Middle East for about six hundred years or so. And, now it’s a minority religion and will soon be non-existent there. So, could happen here too.

I sometimes wonder how informed Western Christians are about what is happening to their brothers. I have never heard a sermon on it, although one of elders in our church, who has a military background, did mention the atrocities briefly one Sunday.

In other countries in the Middle East(other than Syria, Iraq). Christianity is becoming stronger. Used to be that Muslims becoming Christian was unheard of. Not any more, happens frequently. While still not common, there are more and more Muslims sick of Islam and turning to Christ.

Attending a missions-oriented fellowship helps with the flow of information, I found. Needs to be seriously involved and not giving just lip-service and pocket change to projects we believe have God's approval and support. One get lots of first-hand information from the Christians workers out-of-country and the visitors from other locales.

Want a good Bible lesson? Watch Charles Stanley at InTouch.ORG. Want to get busy pleasing the Lord? Join efforts with a decent-sized fellowship of Christians who want to WORK hard for the joyful spread of the Gospel of Lord Jesus Christ and no other religion, starting in your own community and branching out, always sensitive to whither and where the Holy Spirit is leading.

(Hint: It doesn't always appear to be organized until it all comes together and it isn't always something you are guaranteed will be successful in a way you can see and realize...but it will be.)

This is the BBC. They would weep with joy if it were to happen.

Conflict will dramatically remold a church that had it relatively easy under vaarious degrees of alliance with government.

I feel sympathy for the monks. They are probably doing the best they know. But God is insisting that we learn that we can fight lions, not just pussy cats. And sometimes the lessons can be a little rude.
