preacher is detained in india after forcing people to convert to christianity
cwnewz.com - "In India Tuesday, January 13, a christian missionary remained detained more than a week after he was detained in the state of Madhya Pradesh for allegedly forcing people to convert to Christianity", his organization said. On Monday, January 5, co-woker Yashpal Bhuta Masih from Gospel for Asia was arrested after "police charged him with attempting to force three people to convert to Christianity."

Local police reportedly said that three people from the village where Yashpal works accused him of "offering them education, money and jobs in exchange for converting to Christianity." GFA denied the charges, saying "it does not use such tactics to share the Gospel."

GFA added that, "In many cases, those who do choose to follow Christ know that their life will become more difficult—not better—as they face persecution for their new faith," in this predominantly Hindu nation.

"They are asking Christians to pray for justice to be done in this case, that the Lord will grant Yashpal the strength to endure this trial and for comfort for his wife and children while he is being held," the group said.

Something to Think About: Sin
Something to Think About: Sin
Christian Web News - Often when we talk about sin, we use lots of examples such as abortion, homosexuality, murder, substance abuse - I could go on and on. However, I want to direct this little three letter word to the Christian who is serving God and can tell a sinner all about his or her sin. We use to call it “pointing the finger”  at someone who does so many bad things.
