As Americans prepare for costumed children descending upon homes seeking candy, some around the world are instead celebrating a Christian holiday called “All Hallows Eve.” This is a day for remembering the saints and martyrs who have gone before us.
Many Christians have been persecuted or died, due to holding on to their Christian faith, in spite of knowing the likely consequences.
In Acts 7:59, we read about Stephen, the first Christian martyr, “They went on stoning Stephen as he called on the Lord and said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”
The incidences of Christians worldwide being persecuted are vast. If we desire to continue doing business God’s way, we need to pray and stand with those courageous saints who are willing to die for their love of God.
