So true about titles, fame, fortune and recognition to add. These things don't mean a thing but to the individual it means something to. In this world but not of it is what I strive to obtain every single day of my life Brother West. God bless.

You see folks many of the faith are caught up in titles, and fortune and fame seeking, instead of seeking first the Kingdom of god and all of it's righteousness. Many spend too much time with things that are " All to do about nothing"<br />

Sister Holman this Brother of Christ even in the face of death would not deny his Lord and Saviour or his God. How many in this country would face death and hold on as he did? It reminds me of those persecuted in Smyrna and like this brother was faithful unto death and will receive a crown of life from our Lord and Saviour. Amen.

I'd like to add a poem found in Africa from a man that was martyred (killed) for his faith. Forgive me because every single time I read or share this it brings tears streaming down my eyes and I can't see what I'm typing.<br />
<br />
I'm part of the fellowship of the unashamed.<br />
The dye has been cast, I have stepped over the line.<br />
The decision has been made.<br />
I'm a disciple of Jesus Christ.<br />
I won't look back, slow down or back away.<br />
My past is redeemed; my presence makes sense; my futrue is secure.<br />
I'm finished and done, with low living, sight walking, smooth knees, colorless dreams, pained visions, wordly talkings; cheap giving and dwarf goals.<br />
My face is set; my gate is fast; my goal is heaven; my road is narrow; my way is rough; my companions are few; my Guide is reliable; my mission is clear.<br />
I won't give up, shut up or let up; until I have stayed up, stored up, and played up for the cause of Jesus Christ.<br />
I must go till He comes; give till I drop; preach till everyone knows; work till He stops me.<br />
And when He comes for His own, He will have no trouble recoginzing me;<br />
Because my banner will have been clear.<br />
<br />
This brother of God was killed in Africa for his belief. THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!! We in America have no idea what that means because we don't have to worry about things of that nature in this country. We aren't tested like that and it keeps me grounded and helps me realize what giving your life for your believe in Him is all about. This wasn't some 200 year ago it was in the 1990's in Rawanda.

Brother Samuel, God's blessings and peace be with you. Christmas was never about Christ! Christmas is a pagan holiday that is mixed with putting Christ there just as Easter has been done. It's ok to celebrate those holidays but don't try to make it a spiritual thing. I ask you do you really believe Christ was born on Dec 25th? Do you really believe passing out chocolate bunnies and hiding boiled eggs is about the resurrection of Christ?<br />

The birth of Jesus is approximately around September 23rd not December 25th. Three different ways to figure that: 1). Luke 1:5, 1Chr 24:1, Neh 12:4. Abia's course (Lev 21:12) was end of June. Luke 1:24 Elisabeth conceived with John the Baptist end of June. The angel Gabriel told Mary she would conceive and that was six months after Elisabeth end of December, Mary conceived so nine months give end of September.<br />
2).Backwards from Jesus death: cruxified on the Passover, was in late March; earthly ministry was 3 1/2 years long; Luke 3:23 gives beginning of Jesus earthly ministry, He began to be about 30 years of age around His birthday; if He died end of March beginning of April and His ministry was 3 1/2 years His birth had to be around the end of September not December. 3). Luke 2:8, shepherds wouldn't be outside in the cold, in verse 7 no room in the inn because in Spetember the feast of Tabernacle so everyone showed up so there wasn't any room. Find that in Zach 14: 18 - 19. I think ist's clear Jesus wasn't born December 25th. Remeber a lot of paganism has infiltrated the church and the world and it started with Nimrod in Babel (Babylon). Men have been perverting God's truths for centuries. The early church in the Book of Acts never celebrated Easter, no Easter sunrise, lent, good friday services. They are not found in the Word of God. They are traditions but we celebrate Easter as spiritual. Don't forget Constantine supposedly converted to Christianity never left the Babylonia pagan religion. Many pagan customs infiltrated the church during his rein 500 years after Christ rose from the dead lent was added to Easter holiday. During the Dark Ages all kinds of other pagan cerimonies entered into the church like the Eshtar egg symbol of fertility MOther of the gods whom little white waffers were baked (Jer 7:18) and burning of incense to Baal (as Catholocism). We need to understand and seperate traditions from spirituality. May God bless you and continue to work in you.
