Book Recommendation: Live Not By Lies

Folks, 

I want to make you aware of a new book (came out September 29) that tackles an incredible important subject. The book is Live Not by Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents, by Rod Dreher.  From the Amazon description page:  

The New York Times bestselling author of The Benedict Option draws on the wisdom of Christian survivors of Soviet persecution to warn American Christians of approaching dangers.

For years, émigrés from the former Soviet bloc have been telling Rod Dreher they see telltale signs of "soft" totalitarianism cropping up in America--something more Brave New World than Nineteen Eighty-Four. Identity politics are beginning to encroach on every aspect of life. Civil liberties are increasingly seen as a threat to "safety". Progressives marginalize conservative, traditional Christians, and other dissenters. Technology and consumerism hasten the possibility of a corporate surveillance state. And the pandemic, having put millions out of work, leaves our country especially vulnerable to demagogic manipulation.

In Live Not By Lies, Dreher amplifies the alarm sounded by the brave men and women who fought totalitarianism. He explains how the totalitarianism facing us today is based less on overt violence and more on psychological manipulation. He tells the stories of modern-day dissidents--clergy, laity, martyrs, and confessors from the Soviet Union and the captive nations of Europe--who offer practical advice for how to identify and resist totalitarianism in our time. Following the model offered by a prophetic World War II-era pastor who prepared believers in his Eastern European to endure the coming of communism, Live Not By Lies teaches American Christians a method for resistance:
  •  SEE: Acknowledge the reality of the situation.
  •  JUDGE: Assess reality in the light of what we as Christians know to be true.
  •  ACT: Take action to protect truth.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn famously said that one of the biggest mistakes people make is assuming totalitarianism can't happen in their country. Many American Christians are making that mistake today, sleepwalking through the erosion of our freedoms. Live Not By Lies will wake them and equip them for the long resistance.

India: Rising Anti-Christian Extremism

10-21-2020 - India has emerged as one of the worst offenders of religious freedom, as Hindu extremists have ramped up their anti-Christian activities in recent years. The Hindu extremists are anti-Western and want to rid India of all Western influence. They see Christianity as the "colonialist" religion of the West that must be purged. These Hindu extremists are usually tolerated current Indian government officials, many of whom are members of these extremist groups themselves. 

In the latest attack, a Christian church in India’s Andhra Pradesh state was burned down by arsonists after repeated threats by local extremists. According to the church’s leadership, extremists had issued several threats against the church if the church was not closed down.

On September 8, at around midnight, neighbors of the Christian Miracle Church, located in Ponduru town, reported flames and smoke coming out of the church building. As Pastor Prabhu Das, and his son, Jeevan, arrived on the scene, they witnessed the flames consume the church building and a car that had been parked beside the church. 

After the arson attack, Pastor Prabhu Das filed a formal complaint with local police. Police say that the incident is "under investigation," but so far no arrests have been made. 

“We have encountered opposition from the Hindu religious extremists several times in the past,” Jeevan told International Christian Concern (ICC). “The radicals have threatened us to stop the church activities in the town. They have warned us of the consequences if we failed to close down the church.”

“I never expected this to happen,” Jeevan continued. “I suspect this is the work of those who threatened us and told us to close down the church.”

Pastor Prabhu Das has been running the Christian Miracle Church in Ponduru town for nearly 38 years. Nearly 300 Christians regularly worship in the church.

Recently, 14 US Senators signed a letter to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, asking that India be named a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) for its repeated violations of religious freedom.

Pakistan: 13-Year-Old Christian Girl Is Latest Victim of Forced Conversion and Marriage

The Corporate Media and the Left largely ignores persecution against Christians around the world because the two main culprits - Muslims & Communists - are "protected classes" within Leftist ideology, whereas Christians, at least of the traditional variety, are considered the bad guys for promoting traditional values. This is why I choose to highlight the truth about Christian persecution on this website. 

The following is an unedited press release from International Christian Concern (ICC). Please check out their website at www.persecution.org for more on the persecution and genocide of Christians around the world.

13-Year-Old Christian Girl Reported as Latest Victim of Forced Conversion in Pakistan

10/19/2020 Pakistan (International Christian Concern) – Last week, a 13-year-old Christian girl was abducted outside of her home in Karachi, Pakistan. Two days later, the girl’s parents were informed she had become the latest victim of forced conversion and forced marriage.

On October 13, Arzoo Masih was abducted by Ali Azhar, a local Muslim man, while she was playing outside of her home in Karachi’s St. Anthony’s Parish. Arzoo’s parents immediately filed a kidnapping complaint with local police.

Two days later, on October 15, police summoned Arzoo’s parents to the station where they presented the couple with marriage and conversion documents. These documents claimed Arzoo was 18 and that she had converted to Islam and married Azhar willingly.

Speaking to the Union of Catholic Asian News (UCAN), Shabbir Shafqat, President of the National Christian Party, condemned the abduction, forced conversion, and forced marriage of Arzoo.

“Forced conversion has become a major tool for the persecution of Christians and other minorities in Pakistan,” Shafqat told UCAN. “We must make a united stand against Arzoo’s abduction.”

According to a study by the Movement for Solidarity and Peace Pakistan, an estimated 1,000 Christian and Hindu women are abducted, forcefully married, and forcefully converted to Islam every year. Many of the victims are minors. Sexual assaults and fraudulent marriages are used by perpetrators to entrap victims and authorities are complicit.

The issue of religion is also often injected into cases of sexual assault to place victims from religious minority communities at a disadvantage. Playing upon religious biases, perpetrators know they can cover up and justify their crimes by introducing an element of religion.
