It was a small village in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by dense jungle.
Decades earlier a Christian missionary established a church there. It was an expensive church as it ended up costing the missionary his life.
Today the church was packed full as they began to worship. Suddenly the back doofs flew open and half a dozen men dressed in combat fatigues and carrying heavy-duty, automatic weapons stormed the platform and commandeered the service.
“How many of you are willing to die for your faith in Jesus Christ?” asked the leader, “ If not, this is your only chance to leave.”
A large group of people were practically knocking each other down trying to exit that church as quickly as possible.
About a third of the crowd remained, willing to accept whatever fate would befall them. They were shocked to see what happened next.
The men disarmed and stacked their rifles in a corner while their leader spoke to the crowd.
“We, too, are believers and followers of Jesus Christ. We desire to worship with only genuine, fellow believers. Pastor, please continue the worship service.”
