Paul Before Agrippa - Part 8 — Joshua Daniel

A Martyr's Praise Amid Persecution

He put out his hand and said, Release my hand. And he wrote on the flyleaf of his Bible, If Jesus Christ could die for a sinner, And in the midst of his suffering, He was praising God. They cut off his tongue.

A Witness That Honors Jesus Christ

And yet, with that injury, He still maintained a glowing, praising countenance. And died. But the presiding priest or lama, the judge, He said, What did this dead man write? Or the dying man write? He read it.

And then read the New Testament. He became the next martyr for Jesus. My dear friends, Our sickly kind of poor witness, It does no justice at all to Jesus Christ. It does no justice at all to Jesus Christ.

Friend, Believe me, I too am guilty. Can you and I say, We continue to this day, Witnessing both to the small and great. Until they fall before the nail-pierced feet of Jesus. Until they fall before the nail-pierced feet of Jesus.

Rejecting Empty Words and False Discipleship

May God have mercy on you and me. That we may not be just as kind of chatterboxes. Full of hot air. No real love or devotion. As strangers to New Testament discipleship. May God save us from that false stance.

Prayer for Genuine Christianity and a New Heart

Let us pray. Let us pray. O Lord our God, We do not want to be false professors. Looking for an easy ride and a comfortable way of life. Find sponsors giving us this and that. Lord God, Yes, Jesus, the maker of heaven and earth, died for me.

Whatever can I ever do to repay him? My debt of love. What can I do to repay my debt of love? O my father, We do not want false Christianity. Forgive us, O Lord. Give us a new heart. True discipleship.

Faithful Witness Through Servant Love

We want to be your faithful witnesses. Come wind, come weather. We want to be true to you, Lord Jesus. Witnessing both to the small and great. Washing our brother's feet. Loving the unlovely. Redeeming the lost.

Save us from false deluxe discipleship. Now Lord, hear our prayer. And bless the people that are going. In Jesus' name. Continue in prayer. Those who feel lonely.
