After the liberation of Mosul, last stand for Christians in Iraq.
Posted: Jun 11, 2017
and now Christians from most parts of the Middle East means the termination of the historical Middle Eastern mosaic of peoples. The number of Christians in Iraq has decreased from 1.5 million 15 years ago to a couple of hundred thousand today. As the battle of Mosul comes to an end and Islamic State (ISIS) about to be defeated in Iraq, rapid action from the international community needs to be taken to safeguard the existence of Christians in the country. This is their last stand. The battle of Mosul, Iraq’s second city, is in its final stages. Predictions are that the city might be fully liberated before the end of Ramadan. While, due to a decade of persecution of “infidels” in Mosul, no Christians (Chaldeans/Syriacs/Assyrians) are expected to return to their homes in the city, there is still hope for the return of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees to the ancient Christian villages of the surrounding Nineveh Plains...;

That sounds morbid at first glance, but they are proving their faith daily. It’s actually amazing what is going on over there conversion-wise.
A simple Muslim father of 5 in northern Syria had his home destroyed 3 times (and rebuilt). His family sought help in the camps where Christian aid workers brought his children to the Lord. He saw the change, came to talk to a male counselor and he also became a Christian!
Stuff like this is happening a lot over there. I pray if severe diabolical persecution comes this way (which it’s starting to rear it’s head), that I’m brave enough to face it the way these precious people do.

I used to transcribe Veteran's health care reports and know that there are many mental heal ...

Looking For Serious Answers From ChristiansOct 13, 2010
Hello, I am wondering, having always had problems with faith, what the reason is that we cannot see God. I have heard it said that this is because He wants us to have free will, but also the response to that being that we would still have free will as to whether or not we chose to worship Him and follow His laws, just as we have the option of whether or not we break the laws of man/society. I guess that is something that has always held me back, the fact that I do not understa ...
