Read the article on Fox News about the public execution of Ri Hyon Ok for distributing Bibles in North Korea. Friends, this is the type of commitment Christ disciples are called to make. If we are unwilling, and most Western Christians would never ever countenance rendering such a dangerous service, then is it too much to suggest that perhaps God is removing the lampstand from the American church? (Rev. 2:5)
What will it take for the church in the United States to reclaim the sense of radical self-sacrifice and discipleship that will be required for the Church to regain its redemptive power in our culture?
May the sacrifice of Ri Hyon Ok make spiritually fertile the ground upon which she was slain. May God protect those of her family who survive, if any are still alive. May we be bondservants of Christ for whom to live is Christ and to die is gain.
