I remember reading Richard Wurmbrand (a Lutheran pastor imprisoned in one of the Eastern Bloc nations for his Christian faith), who wrote in his book, "Tortured for Christ" essentially that while in prison, being tortured for one's Christian faith, one didn't stop to question the other prisoners there with him about the nuances of their faith in Jesus. They just loved and helped and comforted each other as brothers and sisters in Christ. <br /><br />Funny how persecution strips away the dross and leaves only the blood and the cross behind.<br />Rich Maffeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07499633873603333492noreply@blogger.com
