8 Christians Arrested in Chhattisgarh
An Appeal to the Authorities
October 5, 2011:
8 Christians Arrested in Andhra Pradesh
Andhra Pradesh police charged eight Christians with "promoting enmity"
under Section 153 (A) of the Indian Penal Court after alleged Hindu
extremist Adepu Venugopal filed a complaint against them of forceful
conversion on Sept. 23 in Karimnagar district.
According to our correspondent, the Christians of Brethren Church in
Kerala came to proclaim the gospel of Christ in some villages after
obtaining permission from the Karimnagar superintendent of police.
While they were preaching in Donoor and Dharmapuri villages, the Hindu
extremist mob suddenly surrounded them and then filed the complaint of
forceful conversion.
The extremists took the Christians to the police station, and the
Christians were charged with "promoting enmity between different
groups on grounds of religion." The Christians were sent to jail; area
Christian leaders were taking steps to obtain bail for them.
Pastor, Believer beaten up in Chhattisgarh
On Sept. 18 in Khandari Kona, Shankargarh, Surguya, alleged Hindu
extremists led by Ambuj Yadav attacked Pastor Vishwanath Tirkey and
another church member as they were returning home from a prayer
meeting.
Our correspondent Rev. Akhilesh Edgar reported that at about 6 p.m.
the Hindu extremists stopped and suddenly attacked the two Christians,
asking them why they dared come back after the extremists had beaten
them and ordered them not to visit the area again.
The extremists called police, but the police released the Christians
without charges after questioning.
The police summoned Pastor Tirkey and 20 church members, however, for
questioning the next day. "The police in charge told us not to conduct
worship meetings during daytime, and to stop going around converting
people," Pastor Tirkey told EFI. No police report, however, was filed
by either party.
8 Christians Arrested in Chhattisgarh
On Aug. 27 in Jashpur, police arrested eight Christians after alleged
Hindu extremists filed a police complaint against them of forceful
conversion.
Our correspondent Rev. Akhilesh Edgar reported that Nevanti Bhagat, a
widow, invited Pastor Jaikant Badiak from Jhardkhand and other local
pastors and Christians to her house for supper and a prayer meeting.
At about 9 p.m., when the Christians were about to leave, the
extremists suddenly stormed the house, along with media
representatives, and forcibly took Pastor Badiak and seven Christians
to the police station.
The police registered a case against the Christians based on the
extremists' complaint for criminal conspiracy, promoting enmity
between different groups on grounds of religion and forcible
conversion. Of the Christians, six men went to Jashpur jail, and two
women to Raigarh jail.
The men were released on bail on Aug. 30, and the two women the next
day. Two local dailies published stories on the incident.
An Appeal to write to Authorities
As concerned people, kindly write to the Chief Ministers of
Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh appealing to them to safe guard the
rights of the minority communities and to give protection to churches
against attacks and to take immediate action against the perpetrators
of violence.

Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,

Verse of the Day for September 17, 2011
John 20:30
Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. (NIV)Meditation
Ever wonder what those other miracles were that are not recorded in the Bible? I know at least one of them. You do, too. The miracle of your life. What other miracles do you see around you today?

IS VICTORY REALLY POSSIBLE
IS VICTORY REALLY POSSIBLE
James 1:13-14 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Is total victory possible for us? First let us all acknowledge that Christ cannot be defeated. He cannot fail, his power, his wisdom, his might, his strength, his love is all perfect and he cannot be defeated.
Secondly let us examine our own lives and see if this is not true; every failure we have experienced, every defeat we have endured has been our own fault. Not God’s, not Christ’s but our own fault. We failed to implement God’s provision in our life.
Too often we try to blame our environment for our failures, but it is not that. Or we wish to blame our "up bringing", but it is not that either. It is simply our fault: we are either trusting in our own strength and not Christ’s power. Or we have not submitted to GOD, or we have not resisted the devil.
One illustration and I will close. There was a young man who was addicted to lust; he came and gave his life to Christ. His life was changed and he did wonderfully for about six months or so it seemed. Then he began to miss church, when the preacher went to his home to check on him the man replied, "It is no use, the Lord cannot save me". The preacher looked around the room and saw indecent pictures on the walls, and said, "How long has these been on your walls?" The man replied "for years". The preacher answered, "you are a scamp. You pretend Christ cannot save you; when you have not even begun to fight!". Part of the fight my friends is to pluck out and to cut off that which tempts us; if we are not willing to do that, there is no way we shall escape hell.
Come now children and let us determine that we shall stand for the Lord. We shall submit ourselves to him absolutely and we shall resist the devil even to the letting of blood if we must. Come and experience the victory that Christ has wrought for you on the cross.
