This was from a post that was put on the forum a few weeks ago....
/// After the meeting, coffee was served. The couple marched straight up to me, obviously wanting to get something off their chests. "Your story is stupid!” they protested. "If we were in that woman’s position, we would have signed the paper. Of course God wanted her to take care of her own children!”
"So are you saying you would willingly deny the Lord Jesus to avoid going to prison?” I enquired.
"Yeah, we would,” they stated matter-of-factly. "God would understand and forgive us.”
I was astonished that a pair of professing Christians could openly admit they would willingly deny their faith under pressure, and they didn’t see anything wrong with it. I asked if they were concerned about the words of Jesus, who said, "Whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven” (Matthew 10:33).
"God wants us to take care of our children,” they reiterated.///
This is a response from a mother in the persecuted Church. This would probably be her response to the couple above...
This is what it means to be a Christian in Syria. This is what it means to be a Christian in America.Â
Only Because of Jesus,
