Why is Christian Persecution Getting Worse in Every Country the US "Liberates"? : Freedom Outpost

Why is Christian Persecution Getting Worse in Every Country the US "Liberates"? : Freedom Outpost: "When the U.S. military “liberates” a nation, shouldn’t it result in more liberty, freedom and peace for the people living there? Instead, we find just the opposite.

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: 19 Ladies.: "I love chickens. We have 19 of the ladies. I have even named some of them. There’s Finger-lickin, Roast, Tender, etc. I have a picture of Colonel Sanders on their coop wall to remind them what it’s all about. But more than that--I’ve found a way to help them pump out eggs. All I do is say “What’s for dinner tonight ladies? Eggs…or chicken?”"

Boy killed because he might grow up Christian - Christian News - Worthy Christian Forums

Boy killed because he might grow up Christian - Christian News - Worthy Christian Forums: "WASHINGTON, D.C. – A Christian girl who fled Nigeria after Islamic terrorists killed her family on Tuesday relayed to journalists in Washington the macabre conversation Boko Haram members had just before they shot and killed her brother.
The terrorists, in 2011, had just killed her father, a Christian pastor, and while one member of a Boko Haram hit squad that came to her home argued to let the young boy live, the other two agreed that he should be shot and killed because he might grow up to be a Christian pastor.
The stunning testimony is part of what Deborah Peters, now a student in the United States, related at an event set up by the Hudson Institute.
Peters, 15, originally from Chibok, where hundreds of her contemporaries and friends recently were kidnapped by Boko Haram in what has developed into a crisis for global proportions, said three Islamists in the Boko Haram terror group stormed into her family’s home.
Her father, a Christian pastor, was in the bathroom showering when they arrived."
