feed my presents to the Christians

Ok sorry, but there is something that i really really like that i wanted to put somewhere.
Sunday, best sermon evereverevereverever.
it was on 2 timothy. basically, paul, /9the head hancho beast-man that can convert anybody anytime and take more beatings and hell than any other man and still manage to get on his knees and weep to his Daddy) is on death row, writing to nanny-pants Timothy who gets the terrifying honor of filling Paul's shoes once he his martyered. basically, paul is telling timothy that he has to take the lead, buck up, and get stuff straight with believers. he has to end divisions in churches, ands stuff. and then paul gives the lovley encouragement that in doing this, timothy will most likley have the same fate as paul.

paul died for it.
timothy died for it.
and they knew that they would.

paul could have weasled his way out, if he took back a few things, made some pomises to some romans to never preach again.
but he didn't. he believed in the words in the bible so fiercley that he died for them.
he had such a flame blazing in his soul that he got himself martyered for it.

the bible is power. the bible can get you murdered.
holding in my hands every night is a book that has been the reason behind murders.
the words on the pages that i read is the same truth that people like paul preached and died for.
and yet, i barley take notice to these words.
i scan over them like they are just some silly poem, and close the power up and do it agian the next night.

do i realize that i am reading the most powerful book in the world? the holy spirit LITERALLY lives in the pages, everytime i open up the bible, God pokes his head out. and i pay no attention whatsoever.

people DIED for the truth in ink.
people were beat. bad. just read 1st corinthians 11, or 12? one of those. it says all that paul went through. the countless stonings, the shipwrecks, starvation, whipping, imprisonments, all this terrible stuff, and he did it all for the same book I am holding in my hands.

why do we not regard how powerful the bible is?
because it is. SO powerful.

it is so dangerous. the bible can produce a fire in you that can get you murdered.
holding that book in the wrong country can get you arrested. it is FEARED by people.

am i wiling to die for the truth in the bible? am i willing to give my life completley, like paul and timothy and friends, for the truth?

am i willing to die for anything?
