Welcome to Gaia! ::

**I'm only 13, so this is an expirement sermon**
Persecution. It is a sad subject, but we as Christians must acknowledge it. We will someday
be persecuted for refusing to deny our SAVIOR! I was riding in the car with my parents and the
conversation went something like this...
"I will have to learn to hunt, for someday soon, maybe in the next 30 years, I will have to
take my family, and hide in the mountains...."
"Why dad?"
"Someday, we will be persecuted for our faith, Maggie. And with the way the world is going
today... soon."
I was scared. Incredibly. And I could tell my dad was too. I cried, as I thought about this.
I remembered everything my parents had told me about this subject in a minute.
"Don't EVER deny your savior."
"Be strong in your faith. Jesus will save you."
"God loves you, and doesn't want you to be hurt."
"Horses, all different colors, with all different meanings."
"We will die for believing something different, than someone wanted us to believe."
"The anti christ."
I looked through relevalations, searching for an answer. I couldn't find much, it didn't
give much information, that I could comprehend. I wondered when it would be, and who
could possibly do this. If the anti christ would be female and male... WHEN WOULD THEY
KILL US? I kept having horrible images pop into my head... people killing a young girl,
because she said she was Christian. Blood spattered on pews of a church... news stories of
mass murders... people held hostage... people turned in by friends who didn't want to be
killed themselves. A damp cave, where I held my family close, and cried softly, hoping the
assasins wouldn't hear me. Me holding my baby nephew close, a gun pointed at us both... the
man's stern face showing no mercy or kindness. My best friend... killed in an instant.
I couldn't get these images out of my head. I still can't... think of the people around you
and hold them tight.
I know this isn't very long, but I have to go.
Please tell me what you think... and when do you think it'll happen?
