Gunfire broke out yesterday morning during worship services at the West Freeway Church of

Christ in White Settlement, a suburb of Fort Worth, Texas.

A gunman shot two people before two members who are part of the church security team shot

him.

The gunman and one of the victims died at the hospital. A second victim was

resuscitated on the way to the hospital, but died later. One of the victims, Anton Tony Wallace,

was a husband, father, grandfather, and registered nurse. His daughter said,

You don't think it's going to hit home, and the fact that it hit our home,

and someone that supports us and loves us, and is our dad is gone, that's what hurts the most.

Attacks on Christians are escalating worldwide.

For example, more than a thousand Christians have been killed in Nigeria this year.

One believer said, our home is destroyed. The hospital was burnt. They tried to burn the roof of

the church by piling up chairs like a bonfire. Life is frightening. Ideological pressure is being

brought against our faith as well. For instance,

China intends to rewrite the Bible to reflect its communist ideology. The Committee for

Ethnic Affairs has announced a comprehensive evaluation of the existing religious classics,

aiming at contents which do not conform to the progress of the times.

According to the reports, Jesus Christ's parables will have to fall in line with the Communist Party,

failing which they run the risk of being purged from the Bibles available to the faithful.
