Sadly, most professing Christians in the western hemisphere are clueless about the value and importance of a relationship with Jesus Christ. They have no idea what it means to be committed to Him. How deceived we are!

We need to connect with missionary organizations like Voice Of the Martyrs to see how Christian converts in the Third World suffer for the faith. Discipleship is much more than attending church services and sitting on church committees, though those things are important. The young lady in Br.Bear's post who suffered martyrdom was a disciple in the biblical sense of discipleship. The flames only consumed her body; her spirit was "consumed" by her love for the Lord.
