We wonder how those who persecute believers could be so full of hatred when all we do is try to share the love of Jesus. I read a New York times article about a recent Christian martyr. The author made those who murdered him the heroes because they prevented the missionary from spreading infectious disease and changing their primitive way of life. Did the author really care about the people on that island? Did the author know the missionary carried infections disease? Probably not. The whole point of the article was to make the missionary the bad guy and the murder justifiable. What that author and others like him won’t acknowledge is that so much of what we enjoy came from the influence of Christianity that transformed society.
