As
bad as the atrocities committed by ISIS are (and Boko Haram,
al-Shaabab, etc), to me that's not the worst news coming out of ISIS
controlled areas. The saddest news is that some Christians are
actually converting to Islam at gun point. None of us know what we
would really do until actually in that situation, so I don't condemn
or blame those who made that choice.
But
it means we in the West must pray hard for our brothers and sisters
facing ISIS and their affiliates – that they do not shrink back and
do not deny our Lord, even to the point of death. And may we
ourselves never shrink back when given the opportunity.
