P. 23
Cost the Apostles" is something I clipped out
a number of years ago, and we also did a
series not too long ago on the twelve
apostles, and we tried to look into what
actually happened to them. We have some
Scripture but we also have tradition, as well,
that speaks of what happened to the
apostles. I'll just read this to you:
“You've not resisted unto blood striving
against sin (Hebrews 12:4). Easygoing
Christians today who stand for and
appreciate the beneficial influences of the
church but are bored to death in a prayer
meeting and find it perfect martyrdom to sit
through a preaching service will do well to
read the following record and see how times
have changed.”
