Christian worshippers in China now face a shocking new demand before praising God. Every Sunday service starts with forced loyalty to the Communist Party, with believers ordered to sing regime anthems celebrating Marxist revolutionaries. This blasphemous ritual – putting politics before prayer – shows Beijing’s determination to replace faith with fealty to dictator Xi Jinping.
Church leaders risk imprisonment for following Biblical commands about tithing. Chinese authorities recently arrested pastors for passing offering plates, falsely labeling this sacred practice as “illegal fundraising.” The regime wants to starve underground churches of resources while controlling state-sanctioned congregations through financial surveillance.
This persecution isn’t accidental – it’s central to Xi’s war on Christianity. His “Sinicization” program forces churches to display his portrait, remove crosses, and rewrite sermons to praise communist ideology. House church meetings get raided by police who smash religious symbols and drag worshippers to reeducation camps.
The tyranny extends to modern surveillance tools. Facial recognition cameras track believers entering prayer gatherings. A “Loyalty Scoring System” docks citizens’ social credits for attending unapproved services. Bibles get confiscated while online sermons face complete censorship – all part of the regime’s desperate attempt to delete God from public life.
International appeasers ignore this cultural genocide. While Western liberals stay silent, brave Chinese Christians endure torture and forced abortions for their faith. Pastors report being beaten until they sign documents renouncing Christ. Families get torn apart when parents refuse to indoctrinate children with atheist propaganda.
America must lead the fight against this evil. Conservative lawmakers should sanction Chinese officials involved in religious persecution and welcome persecuted believers as refugees. Every patriot should demand corporations stop funding Beijing’s tyranny through business deals that empower the CCP’s oppression machine.
True faith always outlives dictators. Underground churches keep growing despite the risks, with believers memorizing Scripture since printed Bibles get destroyed. Their courage shames weak-kneed compromisers who value China’s market over martyrs’ blood. These persecuted Christians embody the spirit that made America free – a spirit today’s leaders must defend.
The global Church won’t be silenced. As the CCP tries extinguishing Christianity, faithful believers answer with words echoing through persecution’s furnace: “Though they kill us, still we worship.” Their defiance reminds us that real freedom comes from God, not governments – a truth tyrants can never crucify.
