Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Today's Thought: Let us be willing to sacrifice for Christ - this is real discipleship.
Bob Simmons had just led the Oklahoma State football team to their first victory in ten years. However, a serious kidney problem put his career at stake. To save his life, his wife, Linda, gave her kidney to him. The surgery was successful thanks to the risk Linda Simmons took for her husband.
We love the Lord as a response to the love he has extended to us. The result of the Lord's love to us should be a life being lived for the glory of the Lord. It should not be a life for self alone.
Commitment to Christ is not a guarantee that one will not face hardships and suffering. There were always be people who will oppose God's work. We should pay the price sacrificially and joyfully.
