Write His Answer

I know you are busy with Christmas just a few days away, but the news from North Korea compels me to write you.

As you may know, my heart is burdened for our brothers and sisters around the world who are persecuted for their faith and especially for the children who see things children should never see.

Please take a momen  to visit my website (www.writehisanswer.com) and read faculty member C. Hope Flinchbaugh’s article, “Why Are the North Koreans Crying?” I also urge you to read the press release from International Christian Concern, “South Korean Church Leader: ‘Pray that the Sacrifices of Christians over the Past 65 Years Will Finally Bear Fruit.'”

Most of all I urge you to pray – and not just for North Korea but for Christians everywhere who are threatened, harassed, persecuted, beaten, and even killed for their faith in Jesus whose birth we are about to celebrate.

And let’s not forget to pray for our nation. Every year the effort to dim the Light of Christmas grows stronger. I cling to the promise:

His life is the light that shines through the darkness –
and the darkness can never extinguish it.  1 John 1:5 TLB

I also am reminded that you and I are called to be His lightbearers – to speak and write His answer and most of all to live it.

Because He came and is coming again – Marlene
