I have been working on figuring out what “meaning it” looks like for 23 years or so.
Here courtesy of Vitamin Z is an example:
Like most North Koreans, Son Jong Nam knew next to nothing about Christianity when he fled to neighboring China in 1998.
Eleven years later, he died back in North Korea in prison, reportedly tortured to death for trying to spread the Gospel in his native land, armed with 20 bibles and 10 cassette tapes of hymns. He was 50.
Please read the rest.
we are finishing the book of Acts in our Tuesday morning Bible study. Paul had the same sort of cheerful acceptance of his fate and the willingness to keep going and witnessing even knowing his impending imprisonment etc.
