Phl 1:29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
As I’m beginning to look at the listing of plagues listed on the chapters of Exodus, I’m reminded of the reality of how people had to endure them. They suffered. As I listened to Wes Bently from our visit from him this past Sunday, I’ve once again have been adjusted. For those who don’t know Wes, he is an incredible testimony of a man who is truly surrendered to Jesus Christ and the perfect work of the cross. Wes is with Far Reaching Ministries, devoted to seeing men, women, and children in the Sudan come to Christ. To be quite honest, I don’t even feel adequate enough describing what the Lord has been doing through this man because he is the Real Deal. With a visit from Wes, I am reminded of the important role and privilege of being a man and protecting those who can’t protect themselves. Wes faces death daily via the incredible theater of war and terror throughout the Sudan. He is faithful to his calling, and shall not surrender to the desires of his flesh so that his testimony to the Sudanese and us is unblemished and powerful. What a reminder of how faithfulness, commitment, and purity lead to a powerful witness. The message is simple. There is no fine print here. A soldier must suffer. 1Pe 3:14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy [are ye]: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
