In his book, "Tortured for Christ", Pastor Richard Wurmbrand makes a statement that ought to rock our world about our Christian faith. Our walk with Christ is serious and dramatic. How serious are we about it? Let's evaluate ourselves with the following quote and let's remember to pray for those who suffer for Christ as if it were us doing the suffering (based on Hebrews 13:3):
*Do yourself a favor: read this quote slowly and let the reality of it sink in. Even meditate on certain words...
"Christianity has become something dramatic with us. When Christians in free countries win a soul for Christ, the new believer may become a member of quietly living church. But when those in captive nations win someone, we know that he may have to go to prison and that his children may become orphans. The joy of having brought someone to Christ is always mixed with this feeling that there is a price that must be paid."
Are we willing to pay the price for being a Christian in our own culture? I'm wondering, what does it mean to "pay the price" in America for being a Christian? Example? Remember the title of this entire blog: "Wonderfully Significant"...Jesus is worth it all!
