N. Korea Publicly Executes Christian

Here is a link to an article about North Korea publicly executing a Christian for distributing Bibles. There are modern day martyrs.

Titus2woman on AF
F


"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

Re: N. Korea Publicly Executes Christian

This is the same story that was on the thread yesterday, I think by monterey.

I agree with you. While we are arguing about facial hair and end time prophecy on AFA there are people giving their lives for the sake of the Bible.

Boy, I wonder how God is looking at this one?

God is probably thinking that America needs a 70 year vacation in another land like israel did!

Re: N. Korea Publicly Executes Christian

Actually under persecution, the church grows and spreads more rapidly.
Saints get involuntary relocation orders. It is sad for the family. Stephen was stoned. That was followed by church growth.
Today we encounter chinese missionaries and some korean that go to Afghanistan and Iran where to a greater extent western missionaries have not really spread.
