Taking Liberty For Granted?

Just last Saturday night I posted a brief thought on how thankful I am that we can meet freely in our nation to worship the Lord, without fear of persecution. What a blessing that is! So many of our fellow believers around the world do not have this freedom. Here is a story showing up on many news sites this week about a brother in Christ in Afghanistan facing death for his faith in Jesus Christ. He has been offered a stay of execution if he will deny Christ and return to Islam. He has refused to do so. His fate is in the hands of a judge. Will you give this article a read and pray for him, and for so many others like him around the world without the freedoms we so often take for granted.
