Things havent changed much since the time of Paul have they...? He was eventually killed for his beliefs...!
Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
He believed it and he lived it...!
Today our pastor spoke of stepping out in faith....what you are is Gods gift to you, what you become is your gift to God....the avoidance of risk is the greatest risk of all. Imagine the world with Paul’s and Peters and John s walking around.
