This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

A little over two thousand years ago, an event of such momentousness occurred that it literally reset the clocks on human history. With the birth of Jesus Christ came the promise of “peace on earth and good will towards men” and the impetus behind Western civilization and our own Nation.

As we celebrate this holy day, we must also remember the 327 million who follow Him and are terribly afflicted for doing so.

Jesus called upon us to protect those who suffer for Him. It is not enough to wish them a Merry Christmas, or even to pray that they survive it. We must resolve to use this New Year to save the persecuted Christians by holding accountable those who oppress them and by imposing costs for their crimes against humanity.
