I keep posting about the persecution of Christians because cases like this receive nowhere near the attention they deserve.
Said Abdelrazek converted from Islam to Christianity. He has now spent more than a year in detention in Egypt, facing charges connected to his conversion and religious expression. Amnesty International says he has been tortured and is being detained solely for exercising his freedom of religion.
Religious freedom means nothing if it only protects the religion you were born into.
Every human being must have the right to examine what they believe, change their mind and follow God according to their conscience - without imprisonment, intimidation or violence.
Christians should not look away when our brothers and sisters pay this price for following Christ.
https://t.co/08CESudxNZ my own strength will fail me, but according to God's word through his son Jesus i can do anything in his strength. I need to remember it is better to ask for God's help. I dont have to do this on my own. He will walk beside me.
https://t.co/4EJ56MlAuH loving God means serving others without expecting anything in return. This is part of the reason I became a follower of Jesus. Strangers showed me unexplainable kindness when I was in a shaky place for a time. I want to love like that.
Matthew 22:37 ESV
[37] And he said to him, βYou shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.

https://t.co/4cfTKrvv46 God designed our seasons to pass. One day soon we will leave this earth. I know this is not my home nor do I want it to be. I hope you have an unshakable relationship with Jesus. I look forward to the day I run into my saviors arms, and I am finally home.
https://t.co/jvKaK8vGL5 emet means trust worthy. I had to baby step this one. I was so beaten down at one point. I didnt trust God. I finally gave in and told God I would choose to trust him. With time it turned into I do trust him fully completely.
