I remember the "Save Russian Jewry " signs not only in front of Synagogues , but on the lawns of the American legion and other non-Jewish places. This is the lesson for Christians. Stop fighting each other over dogma and history and get together. Every church should have signs in front, it will soon carry over into nonreligious areas.
Make it an issue in political campaigns. If a country murders Christians, picket their embassies and consulates wherever they are located. Start yelling
Christians have became too nice , too passive, uncomplaining and inoffensive. The murderers believe they can get away with it and so far they are right.
Christianity needs some angry prophets to warn of the eternal consequences of such genocide.

Christians do what Jesus Christ says because that is the only way life will work, otherwise we would be a world of savage beasts killing each other like Mohammed says to do.

You might read this thread, Vietnam's 'Appalling' Persecution [John Kerry] and the related links. The leading Dem Presidential candidate bottling up a bill that passed the House 4710-1 to at least attempt to temper persecution of Christians in Vietnam.

The Bible is clear: Our war is not over what we believe and how the world sees us. Our war is with our own flesh, over sin in our lives, over whether we will submit to what God says or to what Satan tries to deceive into us.
In this, to place our trust in a government's actions means we are not placing our trust in what God said.We are to place our trust in God alone.
A Nation that faces persecution also faces an increase in the genuine faith of what the Bible teaches. It is no illusion that they say the Church is planted with the blood of martyrs.
What is wrong with Christianity today, is that we seek to 'fix' things through government instead of prayer and obedience to God's word.
The solution is not through political action, but through prayer and obedience to God's Word. God can fight our battles for us.
The correct response first, is for people who call themselves Christians to repent of sin in their lives, and turn to God to be the leader in their lives. We are also to pray for the leaders of those countries where this persecution is taking place, that they come to know who God is rightly, and that they are blessed and prosper. That is what the Bible says.
It is what people here like me need to remember more often, also, our problems we often complain about are nothing in the light of eternity. What we need is to get right with God in our own hearts. That is the change that society needs to see.
