Eight policemen take house church leader from Tehran home.ISTANBUL, June 9 (Compass Direct News) – Iran continued a wave of arrests against Christians in recent weeks, detaining a Tehran house church leader who was previously held and tortured for religious activity. Eight policemen arrested Mohsen Namvar, 44, from his Tehran home on May 31, refusing to provide any reason for his arrest. His location remains unknown. An Iranian pastor residing outside the country said that Namvar had anticipated that police would come for him. “I know that if they decide to kill me as a martyr, you will care for my wife and my children,” the father of two told the Iranian pastor last month. Iranian police also arrested 10 Muslim converts to Christianity from the southern city of Shiraz last month.

It's true that doctrine divides. It's also true that love unifies. The unity we have in the faith is rooted and grounded in truth and love. Remove truth (right theology and doctrine) from the mix and you have less than Biblical unity. Remove love and you have no unity. Love causes us to seek truth and share that truth with others so that we become more unified. God is truth, and as we are more acquainted with His truth, the closer we are to Him, and the closer we become to each other
