I often thank God that we can go to church… without anyone trying to kill us. The experience of many Christians around the world is radically different–just claiming to be a Christian can be life-threatening.

Recently I read a report in the July 2 edition of World Magazine:

“Starting on May 22, police raided 100 house churches in Jilin Province and arrested 600 Christians. They released most within two days, but 100 leaders remain in custody…” p. 8-9.

Let’s thank God for the amazing freedoms that we enjoy, and let’s remember to pray for our Chinese (and other nationalities) brothers and sisters whose lives are in danger for claiming Christ.
