Update in today’s news: Churches burned all over Egypt

Since August 14, just two days ago,  over 5o churches have been looted, ransacked, and/or burned, reportedly by US backed, pro-Morsi, Muslim Brotherhood mobs. Watching CBS evening news tonight, I saw nothing on this aspect of the over-arching violence. I called the White House comment line to let them know I am alarmed by this slaughter of Christians and that I wanted President Obama to do two things:

1. Denounce this brutal, hateful slaughter of Christians

2. Remove all financial backing to the Muslim Brotherhood and all other political entities involved in this civil war.

I am posting a CNN article on this intense attack against Christians—including Catholics, Coptics, Baptists, Evangelicals, Greek Orthodox, and Adventists. Homes, businesses, and non-profit offices were also targeted. An Adventist couple have been kidnapped. More than a few convents housing nuns have been burned to the ground. Our brothers and sisters in Christ desperately need our prayers.

These attacks are all across Egypt, and therefore have been highly coordinated. We have authority over serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the devil (see Luke 10:19). It is time for us to exert that authority on behalf of these precious saints.
