Pastor arrested for praying!

In April 2007, Pastor Daniel and more than 40 Christian leaders in Indonesia
were arrested after a video recording of them praying for Muslims and the Quran
was leaked to Islamic organizations. Pastor Daniel was sentenced to five years
in prison for praying, "Father we pray for the leaders of the madrassa, so their
hearts would be open for gospel."

Every day I see stuff like this, the Bible says it would happen, and in fact it will
get worse. I am also pretty sure it will be that way here before long. Maybe in
my lifetime, maybe in my children's lifetime, but our political correctness is going
to drive us to this kind of stuff. They killed Christ who was so good, why would
His followers expect less? Let's not be surprised it happens, but let's always
remember to pray for those persecuted and imprisoned for loving Christ and in
this case loving OTHERS.... May their hearts be turned from lies to truth.
