Christians Overseas: Defend Them!

TRINITY CHRISTIAN CENTER CHURCH MISSIVE

Vol. 7:–No: 19(May 15, 2016)

Philippians 4:13-“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”

 

In the courts of Islamic nations, like Pakistan, anti-Christian bias is widespread. In a recent event, a Christian man was beaten there, then shot three times by two Muslim men when he tried to stop them from harassing Christian women on their way to a Sunday church service.

A Christian lawyer in Pakistan, representing the shooting victim, pressed charges against the two shooters, but another local lawyer responded by filing false charges against the Christian man and his family in order to keep them from pursuing the criminal case.

This is a sadly typical mistreatment of Christians in this area. Soon, the local police also registered a case against this family.

The Christian lawyer went to the High Court there and filed a motion to dismiss all charges. He also filed a petition for bail. When the police investigation found this family innocent of all charges which had been brought against them, said Christian lawyer argued that bail was not necessary because the police would not be arresting them. But bail should be denied for the Muslim defendants, since there was sufficient evidence connecting them to the crime. The court eventually agreed with said statement from the Christian lawyer.

Victory can still be obtained, even in a strongly anti-Christian environment if those who claim to be Christians will stand up and have their voices counted.

Whether the two Muslim men who shot the man will be brought to justice remains to be seen. A lesson learned here is that all of us, who call ourselves Christians, must be willing to stand up for what is right and let God be the one who guides our everyday principles and interests.
