NEWS of more than 50 Nigerian Christians massacred in church by Islamists last weekend will pass with barely a raised eyebrow. They were the wrong kind of victims, gunned down by the wrong kind of killers. IF only they were Muslim rather than Christian. And if only they had been slaughtered by white people - rather than by blacks - the world would care.
As Jesus weeps the Churches are silent - the Church is no longer distinct, it has emulated the world so much it is hard to tell one from the other. What happened to the prayers for the persecuted church - most people are ignorant about the slaughter of brothers and sisters in many nations - may God forgive us and cause us to rise up and be His voice in these times.
It’s sad to see some people use selective outrage while they seem to not have no contextual outrage… if your outraged about people being murdered be outraged for all of those who suffer this fate. Being outraged about a select group is a true sign that you really don’t care about the plight of those who suffer but you have a political advantage to gain while pretending you care! Political correctness gets exposed as a real tactic it’s about taking advantage of someone’s misfortune by using the fear and pain caused to garner votes. This is the lowest form of politics I’ve seen!
Quite true all of this and more James. We were subjected to our equine PM dressing up in fancy dress to celebrate Muslim women everywhere remaining oppressed. We were meant to accept that an outfit filled with hate and oppression was “us” They are certainly not me. I feel for their loss but no one felt for the 250 odd Sri Lankan Christians slAughtered at church in reprisal a few days after Christchurch. No, politicians generally including our PM are far worse than you portray and will be called to account one day.
They will be held to account. Eternal judgement await them all.

Heart-breaking alright, with a political leadership who just don't care about their own people if they don't bend the knee to Islam
The persecution of Christians in Nigeria is horrendous and has been going on for some time, but we never hear about it from the pulpit

So sad...
