Ac21

Christians around the world today will be beaten and killed for their faith in Jesus.  Paul was just one of the first.  The pattern has continued throughout history.  In fact, persecution has escalated over the decades.  

How often have you seen violence as a part of a worship service?  Are people who believe differently brought before your congregation to be beaten by them?  I think not!

I continue to be amazed at the level in which violent activity and even murder took place in "the temple complex"!  What were they thinking?  This seems so barbaric for us to grasp today.  Yet it still is happening!  It is as Jesus said it would be.

Pure craziness.

  1. I cannot imagine a world where following Jesus costs so much. Counting the cost in America is often so little. The freedom to believe in Jesus perhaps costs us other things with regard to faith and identification with Christ in His sufferings.
