All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others
Persecution
Tammy will be thrilled to know that Joyce Meyer's site was down a bit today and therefore, I took to listening to Jackie Francis Chan. LOL I gotta pull her chain on this occasionally.
So Chan is talking about how most people say they're not persecuted because we live in America and he disagrees. He says if we're not persecuted it is because we don't go to the dangerous places to preach. He quotes about Paul going into the places he knew were dangerous but doing so because that's where God told him to go.
Ok...so God told Paul to go there. To some He called as pastors, some teachers, some evangelists, etc. And to some...maybe He told them to be missionaries, to go into dangerous places, etc. Perhaps He has another call for others. If we're not being shot at, imprisoned or threatened with death...is that all there is to persecution? How about being refuted by relatives, neighbors, friends? They may not threaten our lives, but then did God tell each of us to leave your home and family and go into the most dangerous places you can find?

LOL I wasn't gonna confuse anyone else by leaving it Jackie for those who didn't read the thread before responding. And thought, welllll...I don't wanna confuse people who DO read the thread and wonder what they're talking about Jackie, when it says Francis. So I figured get em both. Leave Jackie, but strikethrough it. It was quite a conundrum.

Oh I listen to a lot of them. My own Bishop, Charles Stanley, Joyce Meyers, Jackie (aka) Francis Chan, and that dude at Godfirst Church over in South Africa, PJ Smyth. I found one set of teachings I liked from David Jeremiah too...but didn't care for much else from him. I'm a widely varied type of person.

Love me some Dr. David Jeremiah, Tony Evans, David Wilkerson (but bless his heat you'll have to wait and see him), but u can read about him, Jim Cymbala, and the list goes on.

I've read Cymbala and Wilkerson's stuff. Also forgot that I've listened to Warren at times as well. Reading Kenneth and Gloria Copeland devotionals right now, plus Priscilla Shrirer's "One in a Millon" and "Resolution for Women". I've read others as well, Bob George, Max Lucado, and a bunch I can't even think of right now. I guess I like a bit of variety at times. Kinda like my music tastes, I go for the topic I like rather than the author. Some things I like from one person and not others. So I jump around.
