CAN YOU OR I SAY THAT IT DOESN’T MATTER WHETHER WE LIVE OR DIE, AS LONG AS CHRIST IS BEING GLORIFIED ?
Philippians 1:20-21 KJV
According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. [21] For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

HOW DO YOU KILL A DEAD PERSON ? THE REASON PAUL WAS NEVER AFRAID WAS THAT HE HAD ALREADY DIED TO HIMSELF.
If preaching the gospel called him to be executed, so be it. if preaching the gospel called him to be exalted, so be it. however Paul could serve his Lord and Savior – that and that alone is what he strove to do.

PAUL CERTAINLY WAS NOT OF THE “WHAT ABOUT ME ?” MINDSET !!
He was shipwrecked, stoned, beaten, thrown in prison. Facing the judgment of the Romans, he said “It’s ok as long as the gospel comes out! they can mock me and make fun of the gospel as loud as can be but guess what the Romans are hearing the gospel so all is good!!” Can we ever be this unselfish?

There were things that were more important to Paul than his comfort or his reputation or any concern in the fleshly realm whatsoever. Period.
HOW DO YOU STOP A GUY LIKE THAT ? HE WAS DEAD TO HIMSELF !!

OH DEAR GOD, HOW I WISH, WITH MY WHOLE HEART, THAT WE COULD
………. A … L … L …………
QUIT THINKING ABOUT OUR PUNY LITTLE LIVES AND
….. D A R E … T O … C A R E …..
ABOUT SHARING THE GOSPEL !!
WE’VE GOT A CAUSE THAT’S BIGGER THAN US.
HE DIED FOR ME ; I GUESS THE LEAST I CAN DO IS LIVE FOR HIM.
