Evangelist killed in streets of Turkey

Christian evangelist Jinwook Kim was murdered last week on the streets ofDiyarbakir Turkey

International Christian Concern reports this comes as a tremendous shock to the Christian community in Turkey and it is the first martyrdom since 2007 when three Christians were martyred in Malatya Its not yet clear whether this murder was the result of a robbery gone wrong but Christians are suspecting the murder is tied to Kims faith

Claire Evans Middle East Director for International Christian Concern told The Worldview that this is not normal for Christians to be murdered in Turkey

EVANS The murder of Christians is not normal in Turkey This doesnt happen The last time Christians were killed in Turkey was in Malatya in 2007 and the whole nation grieved so much with Christians when that happened Christians dont get killed in Turkey thats really what it comes down to this is not normal

Evans said that the increased Islamization of Turkey has led to more hostility to Christians However she had encouragement for evangelists who are discerning a call to take the gospel to Turkey

EVANS So for those who are discerning a call to Turkey it is going to be a very hard field to work in for sure Theres just so much complexity to reckon with in the history and in the culture But at the same time its exactly where God first called the church to go That should be an encouragement to everyone that this is the country where God started sewing the seeds of the church

In Revelation 28-10 John writes o the church of Smyrna which is now modern-day Izmir Turkey It is still relevant to the Christian church today

And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write Fear none of those things which you shall suffer behold the devil shall cast some of you into prison that you may be tried and you shall have tribulation ten days be faithful unto death and I will give you a crown of life

John MacArthur Scripture prohibits female pastors

In the face of that it might be shocking to you to know this but in a survey conducted in 2017 about 80 of Americans are comfortable with a female pastor

MacArthur ended the sermon by noting that the problem is that private revelations are trumping the authority of Scripture creating chaos in the churches
