5 Why should I fear when evil days come,
when wicked deceivers surround me— Psalm 49:5

Well, do we have an answer to this rhetorical question? There are people in countries around the world who are having to answer that question, and it isn’t rhetorical for them. The church around the world has been under attack since the times Jesus roamed the Earth. Ruthless tyrants try to stamp out the Church but fail miserably. The governments still try their hardest.

Remember those Believers in Syria, Iraq, Iran, Nigeria, China, Burma, the Philippines, Ukraine, North Korea, and other nations who are facing stiff and harsh persecution. We don’t like to think of it especially as we wake and enjoy our coffee in nice air conditioned homes, but cruel persecution is reality for millions of our Brothers and Sisters.
