The tragedy of Christianity is not it's persecution but it's failure to use it's freedoms to serve God.
I just finished reading the martyrdoms in Eusebius' History of the Church. These Christians were continually being murdered and tortured in unspeakable ways for their faith. While we in America have no fear of death, but we squander our precious freedom on the pursuits of pleasure and leisure while forgetting to even have a quiet moment with God? Isn't there something wrong with that?
About Me
- Karyn
- St. Cyprian - "It is really a bad world, Donatus, an incredibly bad world. Yet in the midst of it I have found a quiet and holy people. They have discovered a joy which is a thousand times better than any pleasures of this sinful life. They are despised and persecuted, but they care not. They have overcome the world. These people, Donatus, are the Christians -- and I am one of them." --and so am I.
