Persecution of Baptist Churches in America
This past Saturday another fire that investigators believe to be arson was set to another Baptist Church in Alabama. What I find interesting about this whole string of arsons, ten in all, is that there has been virtually no outrage from the Church.
Yes, some are reasonably upset and concerned. Some pastors I hear are actually referring to those who did this as people who "hate God", but it's ironic that some cartoons that offend another religion set off massive outrage, fires, burning flags, and even killing people.
This my friends, is evidence that Christians do indeed follow in the footsteps of their Savior and don't return "fire" for "fire". (Pun totally intended - it's Monday :)
Here are a few sites that are actually following this very important story. I'm actually amazed that this story is getting so little coverage. Which is why YOU should all be writing about this.
