Welcome to FEA where we are holding forth the Word of life. May the life of God come into your heart and world today.

Last Friday, 10 masked Islamic State militants stopped a bus on its way to the Monastery of Saint Samuel the Confessor made the victims walk out, and asked each of them, including the children, whether they were Christians. According to Father Rashed, the victims “were asked to renounce their Christian faith and profess belief in Islam, but all of them — even the children — refused. Each was killed in cold blood with a gunshot to the head or the throat.”

This massacre of 29 Coptic Christians took place at the start of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. This was another devastating blow to Egypt’s minority Copts, who in the past year have suffered a number of massacres at the hands of radicals, including Palm Sunday church bombings that killed 46 believers.

Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi has tried to assure Coptic Pope Towadros II that the attackers in the latest tragedy will be punished. ISIS has been killing Christians specifically for their faith throughout Egypt, Iraq and Syria. Islamists have murdered Christians for refusing to deny their faith in Jesus on numerous occasions.

In Syria, a man named George did not allow his Muslim neighbors to hide him when extremists came looking for Christians. He told his mother Jesus said, “If you deny me I will deny you.” He willingly laid his life down. His mother was even denied the kindness of burying his body.

Brethren, let us pray earnestly for our brothers and sisters in the Middle East who are now faced with death because of their faith in Christ. Pray that their faith would grow stronger in the face of the present difficulty. Jesus said “Whoever confesses me before men, I will confess him before my Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies me before men I will deny him before my Father who is in heaven.” (Mt. 10:32-33) Amen!
