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.

Yes indeed ,we are very decieved in our easy comfortable Christian western society.
Lord Jesus may You fill our hearts with increased love, prayers and compassion for those who are tortured and abused for You. And may You guide us in providing effective service and support these dear suffering Christians
This martyred lady can truly proclaim:
I have finished my course , I have kept the faith (2 Tim 4:7)
I will be praying.
