Christian Converts Sentenced to Over Three Years in Iran

6/22/2013

"Minimal news coverage has been given on the conviction of four Christian men who have been sentenced to three years and eight months in prison for their Christian activity. Iran has had much attention given in the news lately concerning the presidential election, so the persecution of these four men has been given little attention. These men were sentenced to prison for spreading Christianity, propaganda against the Iranian regime, disrupting national security, and contact with foreign ministries."

HOW TO READ A PERSECUTION NEWS STORY

Trials make the promise sweet;
Trials give new life to prayer;
Trials bring me to His feet,
Lay me low, and keep me there.

"God often takes away our comforts and our privileges in order to make us better Christians. He trains His soldiers not in tents of ease and luxury, but by turning them out and subjecting them to forced marches and hard service. He makes them ford through streams, and swim through rivers, and climb mountains, and walk many long miles with heavy backpacks of sorrow. Well, Christian, may this not account for the troubles through which you are passing? Is the Lord bringing out your graces and making them grow? Is it for this reason He contends with you?"

Christian persecution is just a phenomenon in the
Middle East.

Christians aren’t greatly
impacted by persecution.

Whatever persecution there is, the damage is superficial - more a loss of multicultural diversity than anything else.

Christians supposedly bring persecution upon themselves by proselytizing.

Persecution couldn’t
happen here.
