Statistics about Christians

If you ask a Christian to what they attribute all these things and what makes all these things happen, they will unanimously give the same answer: Jesus Christ and God.

Remember those statistics the next time you hear someone say "persecute the Christians", because then you will realize that to persecute a Christian is to hurt yourself, all those you care about, your society, your friends and family, your neighborhood or community, the person standing next to you, your country and your nation, other nations, the world, and your God and Creator who holds in his hand your life and all your ways.

"Do not my words do good to him whose way is upright?" "I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and righteousness rather than burnt offerings."
