Syria: Christians Are Being Killed for Refusing to Deny Jesus, Staying Behind to Help Victims
Sharing some of the events he witnessed that greatly affected him, the pastor recounted: "There was a man named George who chose not to be hidden by his Muslim neighbor when extremists came looking for Christians. He told his mother Jesus said, 'If you deny me I will deny you.' And he was killed. His mother was not even allowed to bury his body."
"A doctor friend of mine decided to stay in his community to attend to everyone's medical needs: Christian or not. He could have left," he added.
"He could have gone to safety, but he chose to specifically stay to help others. He was taken by Islamic extremists and on camera, was killed. The video is so shocking and it gives me great pain."...
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

Thanks for the link, Sis. MS! I ran across the poem a couple months ago and saved a copy of it, but I don't remember the website I got it from. God bless.
Thanks brother saint Rodney. How quick we forget, those that have their life for truth. And as the few threads on here show, we're keyboard warriors compared to this lot.

And from that lonely, rugged spot, Ascended rich and rare, The incense of the contrite heart - The sacrifice of prayer. And angels, from the heights of heaven, Did look complacent down On the honoured heads that soon should wear The martyr’s glorious crown.
And the grey-hair’d sirs forgot their griefs, And all their wrongs forgave, When they heard of Him whose power burst The barriers of the grave. And widows, poor and desolate, And homeless orphans, pray’d For pardon from the throne on high On their oppressor’s head.
Wow Rodney, thank you. What wonderful words. Reminds me of: "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge."

This what happens when all religions are equal and america stepped off the stage. "Bush was a leader who didn't think and Obama was a thinker who couldn't lead".

ISIS and Iran are opposites. our prominent pastor went on tv and got that wrong. ISIS is western backed and Saudi/Qatar, add in there turkey, now look above. you might almost see a coalition in a loose sort of way. and another being Russia and Iran. all played out in Syria. problem is that it is ISIS harming the brethren, putting the American Church's allegiences at odds with itself. to go against isis would be to go against who? and to keep Syria and the Christians inside from destruction we would have to work with who? and how much wiser that would be to counter the power of China, it benefits no one but fiction writers to team up with the fulfillers of rev 20, except maybe a stock portfolio or two?
This wouldn't be the first time the khazarian terror regime supported those wanting to kill Christians

You are correct. The Christians are generally on the side of the Syrian Government. The rebels, backed by Obama and McCain, are the ones going after Christians and killing them.
My father, please my Lord shower your mercy and compassion on these folk. Oh they may know you. Our hearts yearn in pain for the world and all that awaits it, the righteous judgement of you oh YHWH. Amen. The apostles counted it a blessing to die for their witness of Christ, Lord tells us we'll here of things to come they make good men faint. Please I pray to show such loyalty in the face of pure evil.
