Page 23 - The Promise of Persecution

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.”
