Today two stories caught my eye because they are both about the persecution of the underground church in China. The first is simply called Priests Attacked in China and discusses how recently six priests were attacked and then arrested "for no specific reason" in China's underground church.

The news about Luis Palau saying that the Chinese Christians should join the state church in China and that religious persecution in China is exaggerated is continuing to get coverage today in an article in the Washington Times.

When I saw this story this morning I felt my heart sink. As you know, we have covered this story since its inception and these three precious Indonesian ladies are still going through the Refiners Fire.

Hello Everyone...We're back from our time off celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday and are ready and excited to share with you some news that has happened in the last few days.

First, let me say how much I appreciate the work that Luis Palau has done through the years to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. He has been a faithful messenger for many years; that work is to be commended.

Christianity Today has a wonderful news spread today on the President's recent trip to China and all the discussions that took place during that time on r eligious freedom. Check it out.

The Voice of the Martyrs very own Todd Nettleton will be a guest today on Joseph Farah's show Farah Live according to a report from World Net Daily today.

One of my favorite religion bloggers is Terry Mattingly who blogs over at Get Religion and he actually blogged about a story I missed...until now. The article he comments on was originally from the LA Times called A Vigil Against Faith in N. Korea published on November 15th.

Did you see any of the news over the weekend where President Bush visited a state run church in China and also discussed the issue of religious freedom with the Chinese leader President Hu Jintao? I did and the first thing that came to my mind is will this really matter and will Christians ever get to worship openly and freely without a state run church. Time will tell.

Yesterday I posted about how North Korea is targeting Christians for persecution. Today I wanted to point you to the actual report that the New York Sun mentioned in their article.
