My fellow readers if you have not heard of this despicable act of violence yet, then the video below will explain. It is a horrific massacre of our Christian brothers and sister followed through by Al Qaeda Terrorists. Over 63 unarmed men, women, children and priests were brutally murdered in a Catholic church on 10-31-10 The priests, God bless their courageous souls, pleaded they they be sacrificed to spare the others. My brothers and sisters I do not hope that this discurages your faith. For it is the time now to proclaim our faith and rise up as A Warrior 4 CHRIST! The evil one would have us be silent. Not to discuss our faith in conversation, schools, publicly, be afraid to speak of our faith, on your Facebook/social sites, or even with your immediate family. But I challenge you to proclaim it today, or whenever this post reaches you. Be proud as there are those today giving their lives for our Lord. And we can rise as a people to back them and speak for their bravery and courage in the face of terrorists. Would you be able to do the same?
A verse comes to mind:
Luke 9:23-26 "23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. 25 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self? 26 Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels."
MSN News Article: Christians Mourn over Iraq Massacre
I must warn that this video clip shows very real pictures of the murders and I would caution young children to not read on.
My thoughts, prayers, and tears go out to the families, and the country of Iraq. Please pray for them.
Go now and be courageous, mourn & be proud of our brothers & sisters & all that they gave.
