Christian Leaders Appalled at Hurtful Responses to Rick Warren's Family Tragedy

Well-known Pastor Rick Warren's personal tragedy of losing his son Matthew as the result of suicide last Friday has not only garnered sympathy and condolences from around the world, but also online vitriol from his detractors. Perhaps most disturbing to Warren and many in the Christian community is that some of the attacks have come from people professing to be Christians, as well.
Warren posted through Facebook and Twitter: "Grieving is hard. Grieving as public figures, harder. Grieving while haters celebrate your pain, hardest. Your notes sustained us."Read More at the Christian Post

Persecuted: Christians in a World of Trouble
Wednesday, April 03, 2013
Christianity came to Ethiopia in the fourth century and today about
two-thirds of the population is Christian, but not everyone is happy
about it.
In May 2011, Abraham Abera, a worker at an Evangelical church, was walking home with his pregnant wife, Bertukan. Suddenly, six Muslim men wielding machetes assailed them beating Abraham to death and leaving Bertukan unconscious. She and the baby survived and as Bertukan recounts the attack she recalls the men’s words: “You [Christians] are growing in number in our area. You are spreading your message. We will destroy you.”

David Platt's Secret Church Gathering to Discuss 'Heaven, Hell, and the End of the World'
By Nicola Menzie , Christian Post Reporter

Bestselling author and Christian minister David Platt will be
teaching on the end times in the upcoming Secret Church meeting that
expects to virtually gather anywhere from 50,000-60,000 Christians in
over 50 countries in a six-hour simulcast scheduled for Good Friday,
March 29.
The theme of the upcoming Secret Church global gathering is "Heaven, Hell, and the End of the World," and will have Platt speak to the confusion, fear and hope among Christians and non-Christians who may be unsure of what the Bible says about the afterlife. The Birmingham, Ala., preacher argues, however, that what is most important is what the Bible's eschatology, or end-times teaching, says about the Christian's life and purpose in the here and now.

ASUNCIÓN, Paraguay (BP) -- Steven Kunkel's nickname appears at the top of his Facebook page:
Sugoisteve.
Sugoi (pronounced sue-GOY) means "awesome" in Japanese.
"Sugoi is my catchphrase," Steven explains, "so sometimes my friends call me 'Sugoisteve.'"
But from Steven's perspective, the "sugoi" part isn't about him. It's about God.
"I always want to give God the glory for what He has done in my life," he says.
