The Accused
http://upwardjourney.wordpress.com/2009/02/07/the-accused/
We do not know true persecution. We may be ostracized in the office or skipped over for a promotion because of our faith; but many are suffering beatings and death because of their witness. As Christ was persecuted, so will his true disciples. Suffering for the cause of Christ is the mark of a follower of Christ. Many of our brothers and sisters in Christ suffer daily for their witness to others in their towns and villages. Read the story of the persecuted from Voices of Martyrs.
