Default Real Persecution - What it Looks like:
There are Christians who are persecuted for their faith in this world. This is an example of it. Pretty shocking. Glad I don't live in Iran!

Iran Pastor Faces Execution for Refusing to Renounce Jesus Christ, Christian News

Americans who complain about being persecuted for their faith simply because they are surrounded by unbelievers and people of other faiths should rethink the use of the word persecution. My heart goes out to this man, and my prayers that he will not be killed because of his faith.

God Bless that courageous and faithful man. We should all pray that God will send His angels to comfort and protect him. But no matter what happens, he will have his reward in heaven.
