Almost always, it seems this blog is about Muslims attacking Christians, but I have news for you folks, if you didn't know already - one of the great enemies of Christians in the "end times" will be "Christians". Here's an example:
MEXICO: Evangelical Christians Expelled from Village
At least 70 evangelical Christians are homeless after being expelled by local authorities from their village of San Rafael, Tlanalapan, where traditionalist Catholics reportedly threatened to "crucify or lynch" them.
Leaders of traditionalist Catholics, a sect that blends Roman Catholicism with native spiritualism, ordered 50 Protestant families to leave the village in Puebla State by Sept.
12, but some were allowed to stay under the condition they worship outside the area.
The regional government official, Roberto Solano Pineda, told La Jornada news
agency, "Local authorities agreed that evangelicals who are not originally from the area must leave, as the state government cannot guarantee their safety."
The mayor did not stop the expulsions amid fears he would be expelled by the traditionalists, Mexican media reported.
A few residents told reporters they regretted that authorities did not pressure the local priest to halt the expulsions.

Please pray that God will strengthen and reestablish these precious believers. Ask God to bind the spirit of deception that holds the traditionalist Catholics captive and that they become receptive to the gospel. Pray that the Christian remnant that remains in the village will be bold and share God's truth in love.
"But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as
rubbish, that I may gain Christ." Philippians 3:7-8
