Thank you for this surprising article, CTD! This man has totally missed the 'HIGH CALLING OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS'!

Ephesians 3:14 -16 "For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man."

HORACE Pitkin, the son of a wealthy merchant, was converted and went to China as a missionary. He wrote to his friends in America, saying, "It will be but a short time till we know definitely whether we can serve him better above or here."

Shortly afterward, a mob stormed the gate of the compound where Pitkin defended the women and children. He was beheaded and his head was offered at the shrine of a heathen god, while his body was thrown into a pit with the bodies of nine Chinese Christians.

Sherwood Eddy, writing about him, said, "Pitkin won more men by his death than he ever could have won by his life." Christ needs people today who are made of martyr stuff!! Dare to take a strong, uncompromising stand for Him!!

"Thank You, Lord, for the examples of those who have gone before us. Help me to take hold of Your unlimited strength, too."

Billy Graham/Evangelist

Matthew 28:18-20 ~"And Jesus came up and spoke to them, (eleven disciples), saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. GO!-- therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

Jim Elliott/ Missionary, and Martyr for Jesus, to the Auca Indians wrote:
"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep,
To gain what he cannot lose."

YES! Let us bless His Name forever! May we never be ashamed to 'go and tell' what Jesus has done for us, that we might live forever!
