When Faith Is Forbidden

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Connecting the dots between current events, people who are nameless and faceless, and your heart can be difficult. Even hearing stories of the persecuted church, while sympathetic, our hearts are not pierced. We often sing "break my heart for what breaks Yours" in worship, but do we understand what that means? Reading through When Faith Is Forbidden will take you through a journey that might do that. The stories remind us of who God is and what He is doing through the chaos around the world; they will remind us of our state of Body, all the while revealing God's fingerprints in our own lives. If nothing else, be encouraged by what's happening worldwide because these stories reveal the wind is blowing change to all corners. You'll be challenged to pray, not only by these stories but also by Todd Nettleton's reflections, as well as your own. This project could be "The Faith Challenge." I don't think you'll come out of it the same person you were when you went in if you wholeheartedly participate over the next forty days in prayer.”
