Stormbringer's Thunder

"Muslim people of Russia...all of your mosques and religious places were being destroyed during the reign of the Czar...From today your beliefs and ideals will prevail and should remain free forever." — Vladimir Lenin, 1917 Several countries in the former USSR were Muslim. Since Islam flourished under Soviet rule (Lenin wanted to destroy Christianity and the Jews, not Islam), Muslim governments reign in several of those countries today.

He expressed it in unbelievable brutality and torture inflicted on prisoners. — Tortured for Christ, by Richard Wurmbrand , p. 36, describing some of the tortures he endured from Communists in Romania because he was a Christian We hear so much about "natural" living. Put the word "natural" in the name of a product, triple the price and you have a sale. Just about anything can be had that is natural and/or organic. Some people are downright fanatical about purchas...

Sure, so many people like to complain about their troubles and "persecutions". But how many have actually been tortured because they dared to take a stand for the truth? Richard Wurmbrand took a stand for Jesus thirty years ago, when Romania was still a communist country. Here is a free book: Click here to order a copy (USA only). Other countries can try Amazon.com. It can be purchased outright, but I saw "other sellers" starting at one cent. You can also see videos presented by Wurmbrand's ministry, "Voice of the Martyrs", on YouTube.
