Below are links to some important stories for Christians.

• Armed Muslim Brotherhood Fanatics Attack Egyptian Church Over Plans to Honor 21 Beheaded Coptic Christians.
• NYC churches set for Easter, future unclear. The Supreme Court decision could have a negative impact on churches beyond New York.
• 19 states that have ‘religious freedom’ laws like Indiana’s that no one is boycotting – story from the Washington Post.
• The New Exodus: Christians Flee ISIS in the Middle East – article in Newsweek describes the persecution of Christians in the Middle East.
• Defending the Resurrection of Jesus: Yesterday, Today and Forever is a scholarly article in the latest issue of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary’s “Journal of Theology.”

After reading some or all of these articles, take a few moments to pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ who are affected by the events in these stories. Then pray for America and its future. Finally pray for our Easter services this Sunday at FBC.
