Recently, Pastor Nam had mentioned that when we read of the persecution in Paul’s epistles, we often have a disconnect with that type of suffering forgetting that we have brothers and sisters in Christ undergoing the same kind of persecution currently in our world.
Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your perspective), we live in a religiously tolerant nation where we do not suffer physical persecution like that of those believers in other parts of the world.
Here is a link to an article that lists the top 10 nations where Christians are being persecuted. Take time to pray for them in your meditations.
