Today, I am pondering and thinking about the lives of persecuted Christians around the world. I live in Australia and here, we are free to worship and even go out of the streets to openly preach and speak the name of Jesus Christ. In the Western countries, we are so countable yet there so much lukewarmness towards the Gospel. Professing Christians are so entangled with worldly pursuits and materialism that many are not really thinking about their persecuted brothers and sisters.
Browsing on the news, I read that in Pakistan, “religious NGOs and Muslim leaders in Pakistan stand accused of refusing aid to Christians and other religious minorities amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This is in spite of the fact that religious minority communities are among the worst hit by the pandemic and its economic effect. (full story here)” In India, COVID-19 Pandemic being used as smokescreen for attacks on Christians. Open Doorsreported that in just the last year, there have been:
Over 260 million Christians living in places where they experience high levels of persecution
2,983 Christians killed for their faith
9,488 churches and other Christian buildings attacked.
3,711 believers detained without trial, arrested, sentenced or imprisoned
Let us continue to pray for our persecuted Brothers and Sisters around the world.

What is repentance? Why is it very important for a follower of Jesus? This video preaching by a well-know revivalist Leonard Ravenhill will expound this Biblical concept of repentance.
Repentance is a change of heart and change of direction of our lives. It involves a very strong commitment and resolve to hate our sin and stop sinning. Repentance is a complete shift of attitude toward God and our sins. The Bible commands people to repent. “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38).
Watch Video: Are We Longing for Repentance? – Leonard Ravenhill
Leonard Ravenhill (June 18, 1907 – November 27, 1994) was an English Christian evangelist and author who focused on the subjects of prayer and revival. He is best known for challenging western evangelicalism (through his books and sermons) to compare itself to the early Christian Church as chronicled in the Book of Acts. He was a proponent of the moral government or Governmental theory of atonement. His most notable book is Why Revival Tarries which has sold over a million copies worldwide. (Wikipedia)
“No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. We have many organizers, but few agonizers; many players and payers, few pray-ers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers; many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion; many interferers, few intercessors; many writers, but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere.”? Leonard Ravenhill Quote
“One of these days some simple soul will pick up the Book of God, read it, and believe it. Then the rest of us will be embarrassed. We have adopted the convenient theory that the Bible is a Book to be explained, whereas first and foremost it is a Book to be believed (and after that to be obeyed).” ?
