There is a shameful silence at the pulpit. Christians are being persecuted in Syria.They are being hunted down and killed simply because they are Christians. They are being beheaded. They are being crucified. They are being mutilated, massacred and slaughtered by devout Islamic jihadists, while the Churches in North America remain silent and do nothing. Is Apathy a Sin? Where are the protests? Where are the marches? Where are our Church Leaders? We must plead with our government officials to save our brothers and sisters in Syria and Iraq from certain death. Please refer to the following scriptures... From the King James Bible, Proverbs chapter 31 verse 9: "Open thy mouth, judge righteously and plead the cause of the poor and needy." From the ISV (International Standard Version): "Speak up and judge righteously; defend the rights of the afflicted and oppressed." From the NASB (New American Standard Version): "Open your mouth, judge righteously and defend the rights of the afflicted and needy." From the NLT (New Living Translation): "Yes speak up for the poor and helpless and see that they get justice." ************ From the NAS (New American Standard) Bible (H 13.3): "Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those that are ill-treated, since you yourselves are also in the body."
