Iranian Pastor Sentenced To Death For Being A Christian

Youcef Nadarkhani

Iranian Christian pastor, Youcef Nadarkhani, has been sentenced to death, for being a preacher of the gospel living in Iran. Nadarkhani has been charged with apostasy by the Muslim state, who have been placed under a significant amount of world scrutiny for this decision, drawing the condemnation of a number of nations. Nadarkhani has been given the option of recanting his Christian faith or being hanged.

He has refused to renounce his faith and the Iranian government has not called off the execution. A person should be able to freely practice their faith without harm or retribution. Here's hoping the Iranian government will do the right thing, drop the charges and not execute pastor Nadarkhani. God bless you and your family, Youcef.

Polls: Christian Rick Perry Is Top Contender For U.S. Presidency

Rick Perry

Texas Governor, Rick Perry, who is a Christian, has become the top contender for the job of President of the United States in the 2012 election. Perry's had a very big summer, more than any other candidate, with voters vaulting him to the top of many presidential polls, in the lead up to the election. He has even surpassed incumbent, President Barack Obama, in all the major polls.



Perry has openly professed his faith in God. He called upon people to join him in prayer and fasting on August 8, 2011, in support of America, which is facing tough times, due Washington failing to spot the signs of an incoming financial crisis and allowing rich criminals to gouge the poor and middle class. The government could certainly use Jesus because Washington has lost its ever loving mind (in this article Washington = some in government, not the everyday people).

He has also pledged his support to Israel in stating of it, "I'm a big believer that this country was given to the people of Israel a long time ago, by God, and that's ordained." On August 13, 2011, Perry announced he is running for the post of President of the United States and has been dominating polls ever since. If the polls continue in the manner they have been and the public keeps coming out to supporting him at events, it could very well be President Perry.

People Sometimes Think Life Is Supposed To Be Easy

Christians sometimes believe life is supposed to be easy and if it is not, we are doing something wrong, when that is not necessarily the case. Bad things happen to good people. It is in those times that we must proverbially fight in a peaceful manner, to stand up for our beliefs. God never said life would be easy. But He has promised to never leave or forsake you and help you through it.
