The Seed of the Church

“The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church,” Tertullian, an early church father, in 197 AD. ISIS doesn't realize it, but they are planting a really strong future Christian church on the very ground where they are now spilling innocent blood.

So we need have no fear accepting refugees. If we offer these strangers mercy and aid, and they repay our kindness by killing us and doing evil to us, then they are only making Islam fall faster.
