He put out his hand, 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 sufferings, he was praising God. They cut off his tongue, And yet
with that injury, he still maintained a glowing, praising countenance.

And died. But the precising 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, He 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. 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 tense. Let us pray.

Let us pray. O Lord our God, We don't 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, Jesus, the maker of
heaven and earth, died for me. Whatever can I ever do to repay Him? My
debt of love.

O my Father, We don't want false Christianity. Forgive us, O Lord. Give
us a new heart.

True discipleship. 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.
