Explosion

A news blurb on Al Mohler's radio show was interesting.

A new report shows Christianity in China, which has undergone severe persecution, growing at an unprecedented rate. If you want to know the extant of Chinese persecution, check out my link to The Voice of the Martyrs. Dr. Mohler cited an interesting figure. Some reports sate there are as nanny as 70 million Christian in the Communist state. FYI, that's as many members as in the Communist Party. In fact, some reports even state members of the Communist Party are converting. to Christianity.

That last part of the story about bowled me over. Communism hasn't been friendly to Christianity. In fact, Communism has murdered more people than any other regime in world History, many Christian martyrs.

One reason given for the conversion rate is Christianity offers a moral bedrock Communism cannot.

Talk about taking the Gospel to the gates of hell. Christ's own words come to mind here. "I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail."
