Church Fire Suspect to Plead Guilty

This is a heartbreaking story on so many levels. First, although this is not specifically a crime against Christians per se, it is still a crime against the church. Apparently the reason the church was targeted is because it was a black congregation and when President Obama was elected, the individuals involved decided it would be appropriate to burn down a black church in protest. This is horrific on so many levels.

The good news is that one of the perpetrators, Benjamin Haskell, has plead guilty to this crime and is now be prosecuted. Please pray that the other two suspects involved in this case, would also repent, confess their part in this crime and also be brought to justice.
