Could I Do It?
As I work my way through Silence and read the heart-wrenching tortured scenes, I cannot help but wonder if I could do the same. Would I cave under and reject my Lord? Or would I be able to withstand being tormented for His name? Silence is both moving and convicting as a Christian in a free country. As a Christian, I would like to say think that with Christ by my side I could go through the same but because my faith has never been challenged to that extent. These character's faith is the kind of faith that I believe we should strive to have. Complete abandonment for Christ.

I felt the same conviction. These people seem larger than life sometimes, but then I remember they are no different from you and I. I like to believe I have their amount of faith, but when it comes down to it....
ReplyDeleteWhen I first received the call to missions, I struggled with this possibility. I have now reached the point that dying for my God is not terrifying; however, it is how I could die that bothers me know. I guess in the end as long as you keep falling back on the Lord, He will get you through it. I just pray I have the faith and strength.
