Persecution of Christians
Recently, Iraqi Christians have come under attack in Baghdad in which Al-Qaeda militants have claimed responsibility. Even as they suffer, God promises Christians who face persecution because of their religion will receive a great reward in heaven (Matthew 5:10-12). This touches me as it reminds me how lucky we are to be in Canada, where we can openly profess our faith. As well, let's keep these Christians in mind throughout the week and pray for their safety and well-being. Let's also pray for those who are persecuting the Iraqi Christans, that they will one day accept Jesus into their lives and understand that killing anyone is not right.

Yes, let's remember them! Today I was shocked when I heard the daughter was charged in the Markham home invasion case. :( Why would an educated girl, a pharmacist, do such thing to her parents? There're still 3 suspects on the run. Let's pray that they will be brought to justice too. May the Lord humble them and reveal Himself to them!
