The church in America is no longer simply in a slumber when it comes to its lack of awareness about the persecuted church in the Middle East; it is in a "diabetic coma," says the leader of a persecution watchdog group in the U.S.
"For
years we've said wake up and strengthen what remains," Open Doors USA
President and CEO Dr. Carl Moeller told The Christian Post in an
exclusive interview. "We would think of the American church as a napping
church and that we would elbow it and it would wake up and rouse itself
and do something.
"In my mind today, the picture I have is a church in a diabetic coma
that has gorged itself on the sweets of affluence, materialism, and the
idolatry of worshipping the materialistic world. That diabetic coma is
now life threatening. We as a church are at the point of death – not the
church in the Middle East. We are the ones who can no longer rouse
ourselves to even pray for an hour on behalf of things that God would
have us pray for."
