"I am no longer a Christian!"

"I am no longer a Christian!"

My favorite summers were 1985 and 1987, my first two trips to (then Communist) Romania. We must talk about those days some time, but for now I want to share with you, paraphrased, a story of that land out of Extreme Devotion , published by Voice of the Martyrs. It is one of many such true tales of that heroic land.

It happened when Ceaucescu was dictator there. A little girl was in prison with her mother, both because of faith in Jesus. The prisoners were upset to see a child in this horrible setting. Even the prison director encouraged Mom to have pity on her child, renounce her faith, and go back to living a normal life.
The pressure was too much. The mother agreed to deny her faith to keep her daughter from suffering. The officials of the prison decided to test the parent's "conversion" by arranging an assembly of 10,000 prisoners, before which she must simply say, "I am no longer a Christian."
After she had done this, she and her little child were released.
On the way home, the girl chided her mother: "Mommy, today Jesus is not satisfied with you." The mother tried to explain that she had only done this thing out of love, but the girl, very grown-up for her years, vowed to her mother that if they would go back to prison, she would not cry.
The woman was at once stunned, ashamed of her weakness, and filled with pride for her lovely daughter. After praying, she did indeed go back to the prison keepers and told them, "You convinced me to deny my faith for my daughter, but she has more courage than I do. I wish to go back to prison."
She went. And so did daughter. And as she promised, she did not cry...

Pray for the suffering church today, will you?
