Our Christian brothers and sisters in Egypt
Posted: Sat Feb 05, 2011 6:48 am
Hi all,
This topic has probably already been well covered somewhere in this online community, but I still felt compelled to bring it up.
Obviously, it's hard for anyone, especially an outsider to the country, to truly understand what is happening in Egypt, and whether or not it will ultimately be for the best. Only God knows that much at this point.
As far as I understand it, approximately 10% of Egypt's population is Christian. There can be no doubt that there are some people in Egypt, as there are in every country across the whole world, who would love to undertake satan's work in doing serious harm to our brothers and sisters in Christ.
My prayer is that no such people end up in positions of real power in Egypt, and that the outcome of the unrest in Egypt be an outcome that is bearable, even positive, for our Christian brothers and sisters in that country.
I'm sure no-one in this forum needs to be reminded of what's potentially at stake for Egypt's Christians, but a little reminding can do no harm. The Lord knows that I need at least a little reminding about various things myself, at times.
Okay, all the best, and God bless you all.
