Pray for this Man


Sayed Musa is an Afghan amputee who has been imprisoned for the past 8 months for converting to Christianity. He has been tortured, physically and sexually abused, and is due to be hung in days. Yet, he says this: “My body is theirs to do what they want with.”

Please be in prayer for this man.

From Compass Direct News:

In the two-page letter, a copy of which Compass received in late October, Musa addressed Obama as ‘brother’ and pleaded with the international community: ‘For [the] sake [of the] Lord Jesus Christ please pray for me and rescue me from this jail otherwise they will kill me because I know they [have] very very very cruel and hard hearts.’

Musa wrote of being sexually abused, beaten, mocked, spat on and deprived of sleep because of his faith in Jesus. He wrote that he would be willing to suffer for his faith in order to encourage and strengthen other Christians in their faith.

Relating Scripture and Life


From Unfashionable by Tullian Tchividjian:

“The late Francis Schaffer wrote, ‘Christianity is not just a series of truths but Truth - Truth about all of reality.’  The Bible isn’t simply a manual for understanding spiritual concepts.  It’s earthier than that.  It provides us with a comprehensive framework for understanding all of reality.  It presents an entire worldview, a complete perspective on all of life…With the Bible serving us in this way, Christians are equipped to engage in every arena of our culture, every sector of our society, in a distinctively Christian way.  Being a Christian involves thoughtful, Bible-based cultural analysis and cultural engagement on all levels.”
