Again, I am taking from Voice of the Martyrs. If I am infringing on their copyright TELL ME. (I just read the March issue. I was greatly impacted. You are surprised, I know.)
Just to think on:
"Jesus allows His sheep to smell the breath of the wolf so that they will bleat out the name of their Shepherd and depend on Him. The enemies of Christianity in the nations where we serve accuse new converts in their country of adopting the 'American religion.' Although Jesus' teachings and the scriptures come from the Middle East, the majority of Bibles circulating in hostile or restricted areas are financed by American Christians. These Bibles are not financed or distributed by religious people; they are spread by followers of Jesus, who believe their King will return for them. Transformed believers in captive nations do not persuade their friends and enemies to change religions or follow new moral code; they unleash the majesty of Jesus by sharing how He has made them a new creature. Many of these witnesses of His majestic work have been forced to give up their families, culture, and things they hold dear in order to cling to the pearl of great price. The writer of Hebrews 12:27-29 refers to the removal of things that are being shaken so that unshakable things may remain. The writer proclaims that in this process we receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Are we willing to endure rejection, to have our world 'all shook up,' confessing him with our mouth? However we proclaim His name, in our joy or in moments of anguish, He is our focus. Jesus wants us to focus on His unshakable, unmovable kingdom no matter what the cost. [...] Share with someone today what Jesus has done in your life. Unleash His majesty. Lift HIM up."
**I added the capital "h's" refering to Jesus/God in the pronouns.**
