What if radicals burn your church and destroy your bibles?

DAY 10

Imagine turning up to church one Sunday morning and finding a huge pile of smouldering debris and ash. Everything is gone. But it’s not the building people miss—it’s their Bibles which were also burnt in the blaze.

In some regions where Christians are persecuted, Bibles are rare and expensive. It may even harder for some people groups to receive a Bible in their heart language.

I am sure there would be other concerns for the church members—where would they meet now? Should they build another church? What happens if the radicals come back? How will they stay strong and persevere without God’s word?


These are questions that many Christians face every day.


How would you respond?
