It was always hard and I always had to put my paycheck first before Jesus…its not something I am proud of but have learned alot since then…I seem to remember Paul telling his story to King Agrippa about why he did what he did, how he did what he did, and whatever else he felt led to say. Did everyone listen? no… Paul wasn’t worried about that though, he said probably the hardest thing for ANY Christian to say when being “reprimanded” ” it is not important if I can convince you or not, I pray to God that not only you (King Agrippa) but that everyone listening to me today could be saved and be just like me (Paul) except for these chains that I have”

Whoa!!! He sunk it in and stood high towards a king. If a humble servant can do that to a King, then we can do that as well to our superiors in a bold way.

Revelations 12:11 says…” we overcome our enemy by the blood of Jesus and by the word of our testimony”

Its not easy, but if we are gonna be salt and light…we need to keep on talking and keep on doing what we do…if we get fired, God always has another door open for us somewhere else… thats easier said than done, i know.

Good topic, stephen!

Most of us think “persecution for the sake of the Gospel” is the inconveniences we experience getting to and from church.

If we focused more on reaching out to the lost instead of reaching out for keys to the new cars and houses, then Tammy would have more help out there winning souls for Christ!
