Never-Ending Faith

The story is told of two armed, hooded, gestapo-like, soldiers who entered an underground church in what was once communist Romania. With their guns in their hands they yelled, "We don't believe in your faith. Those who do not abandon it immediately will be shot at once! Now, those who wish to abandon it, move to the right!"

Some moved to the right. These were ordered to leave the church and go home. They fled for their lives.

When the soldiers were alone with the remaining Christians, they took off their hoods, embraced them, and told them, "We too are Christians, but we wished to have fellowship only with those who consider the truth worth dying for."
