Sundays are for reflecting on the readings of the week or reflecting on Darryl's message. Yesterday in church I was challenged and I want to pass that challenge on. We heard several stories of persecution and death because people lived out their faith. One lady's husband was arrested during a church service and still in prison, and one lady's husband was murdered in a church service - both because of their faith. We saw a picture of two women who were imprisoned for 259 days and heard of a 17 year old boy who also was imprisoned. Their charges? They chose to live a life of integrity and faith in Jesus Christ. I was challenged by these stories and I want to challenge you. These above mentioned people lived out their faith...do we live out our faith? How would our busy lives, rushing here and there, come screeching to a halt if we were arrested for our faith? Are we too busy in our lives to cultivate, grow and truly live in our faith? Wannetta
