Women Of Faith

Have a voice.

You can not have peace when you are silent. Sometimes the only way to have peace is to fight.

Let's be honest, Christians all over the world, whenever there is a problem isln the country, the turn on the silence mood, or they immigrate.

Why? Why are we always scared from everything? Why don't we fight?
Our Land's problems are our problems, we are called to make peace wherever we are, we are called to fight for peace, human rights AND our rights.

Peace can have many definitions, like no wars in the country, no economic issues, peace can mean all people are treated equally, or that we are having our rights and practicing them.

Let me give you a living example, a one from my country.
I'm from Syria, before the civil war, Christianity were 30% of the country population. The war started in 2011, by 2013 we were 15% . Now We are barely 1% of the population, BARELY.
And no, we weren't killed, we cheated on our country when we needed were needed and immigrated, not one of us thought of fighting, defending the land that he lives on, and now with our economic problems, still the only idea we gave in mind is leave.. why?

The Christ always came back to his town over and over even though they denied Him, but that's where he was born and raised, He had a strong bond for it He kept trying to come back and help His people.

Jesus Said: Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to God what belongs to God.
-Mark12:17
Jesus respected the land's authority and admitted that whatever rules the land with peace we should respect and submit to that.

But look at how we deals our problems:
Banning the Bible: we do nothing.
Burning churches: we do nothing.
Killing Christians: we do nothing.
Teaching kids that they can turn into animals: we do nothing.
Allowing pedo*hilia and normalizing kids marriage: we do nothing.
A war is happening in the country: carry a gun and fight? No we just stay scared at home or leave the whole country.

Does that seems... Christ like? I don't the our Lord was a coward.

He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one."

He was so CLEAR, like so clear as the sun is, that after He rise from the dead we will need to fight and defend ourselves, we will need a gun no matter what, in our days, fighting is a prayer. And we are called to take our right, practice them, defending ourselves and the land we live on.

So, don't encourage your family or yourself to run away, or just sitting down praying when a situation takes place, yes, pray for peace, then go fight for it, we always wonder why other people don't give us what we deserves, Our basic rights, but why would anyone give us anything we didn't ask or fight for?

Don't teach silence and fear from death or people.
Teach and preach strength, courage and fear from God.
