A Christian woman accused of distributing the Bible, a book banned in communist North Korea, was publicly executed last month



While sitting at work, often I have time to think. I do have time during the day to do my daily Bible reading and Christian blog reading, but last Friday I came across an article. It talked about how suppressed and mind controlled this country was. If you haven’t had any education on how North Korea is controlled by their country’s dictator, Kim Jong I. Those inside North Korea are forced to worship their government leader as a god. While many in the country suffer in darkness under a cruel regime, a light is the piercing light of Jesus Christ’s message of hope. I enjoy reading stories that you can see God working in the world. Here in America we have so much materialism, it’s hard to be set apart. I usually try to think of myself and how difficult it would be there. I usually try to transport myself in my mind over in a North Korea house and how my day would go. Would I be bold and profess my faith and get martyr for my God-Jesus Christ? Would I use some wisdom and worship secretly and witness to my family and friends? Can you fathom this structure of life in a society like this? Pray for those people and our brother’s and sister’s in the Lord Jesus that a revival takes place and many come to Jesus and are set Truly Free for eternity!
