MLK Jr. Parades, Pt. 2: Changing Hearts and Minds

Why the zealousness to preach the Gospel by word and tract at parades? To hopefully change the hearts and minds of those that think differently about God and what he requires.

To some, a parade dedicated to the memory of  Martin Luther King Jr. is an opportunity to take a political stance; to others, a social stance, without regard to the eternal truths of the Bible in regard to sin, righteousness and the judgment to come.

Some may read of their culpability to a Holy God by a simple tract, or hear from the lips of a Gospel preacher how they have transgressed His law, how they need to turn from their sins, and trust in the Savior. Then, who knows? there could be a greater purpose for them than simply socio-political issues.

Martyrs: Christian’s Hand Severed

The Voice of the Martyrs helps persecuted Christians around the world. One way is by making the plight of the persecuted known through the BE-A-VOICE Network. Here’s the latest report:

Eight assailants attacked a college professor and severed his right hand and part of his arm in Kerala, India. T.J. Joseph, a professor at Newman’s College in Thodupuzha, was accused of offending a group of Muslim students with some questions he included in a test. Due to protests from Islamic groups, Prof. Joseph was suspended from his job and apologized for his “unintentional error.” Still, he continued to receive threats.
