1. Matthew. Suffered martyrdom in Ethiopia, Killed by a sword wound. 2. Mark. Died in Alexandria, Egypt , after being dragged by Horses through the streets until he was dead. 3. Luke. Was hanged in Greece as a result of his tremendous Preaching to the lost. 4. John. Faced martyrdom when he was boiled in huge Basin of boiling oil during a wave of persecution In Rome. However, he was miraculously delivered From death. John was then sentenced to the mines on the prison Island of Patmos. He wrote his prophetic Book of Revelation on Patmos . The apostle John was later freed and returned to serve As Bishop of Edessa in modern Turkey . He died as an old man, the only apostle to die peacefully 5. Peter. He was crucified upside down on an x shaped cross. According to church tradition it was because he told his tormentors that he felt unworthy to die In the same way that Jesus Christ had died. 6. James. The leader of the church in Jerusalem , was thrown over a hundred feet down from the southeast pinnacle of the Temple when he refused to deny his faith in Christ. When they discovered that he survived the fall, his enemies beat James to death with a fuller's club. This was the same pinnacle where Satan had taken Jesus during the Temptation. 7. James the Son of Zebedee was a fisherman by trade when Jesus Called him to a lifetime of ministry. As a strong leader of the church, James was beheaded at Jerusalem. The Roman officer who guarded James watched amazed as James defended his faith at his trial. Later, the officer Walked beside James to the place of execution. Overcome by conviction, he declared his new faith to the judge and Knelt beside James to accept beheading as a Christian. 8. Bartholomew. Also known as Nathaniel. He Was a missionary to Asia. He witnessed for our Lord in present day Turkey. Bartholomew was martyred for his preaching in Armenia where he was flayed to death by a whip. 9. Andrew. He Was crucified on an x-shaped cross in Patras, Greece. After being whipped severely by seven soldiers they tied his body to the cross with cords to prolong his agony. His followers reported that, when he was led toward the cross, Andrew saluted it in these words, "I have long desired and expected this happy hour. The cross has been consecrated by the body of Christ hanging on it". He continued to preach to his tormentors For two days until he expired. 10. Thomas. He Was stabbed with a spear in India during one of his missionary trips to establish the church in the Subcontinent. 11. Jude. He Was killed with arrows when he refused to deny his faith in Christ. 12. Matthias. The apostle chosen to replace the traitor Judas Iscariot. He was stoned and then beheaded. 13. Paul. He Was tortured and then beheaded by the evil Emperor Nero at Rome in A.D. 67. Paul endured a lengthy imprisonment, which allowed him to write his many epistles to the churches he had formed throughout the Roman Empire. These letters, which taught many of the foundational Doctrines of Christianity, form a large portion of the New Testament. Perhaps this is a reminder to us that our sufferings here are indeed minor to compare to the intense persecution and cold cruelty faced by the apostles and disciples during their times For the sake of the Faith. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: But he that endures to the end shall be saved. Pass on to encourage other Christians. Why Do we feel sleepy in Prayer, but stay awake through a 3 hour movie? Why are we so bored when we look at the HOLY BOOK. But find it easy to read other books? Why is it so easy to ignore a massage about God, Yet we forward the nasty ones? Why are Prayers getting smaller, but bars and clubs are expanding. Why is it so easy to worship a celebrity, but very difficult to engage with God? Make this message your contribution to the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Tim Franklin

· ”"Speak to the people of Israel, When a man or woman commits any of the sins that people commit by breaking faith with the Lord, and that person realizes his guilt, he shall confess his sin that he has committed. And he shall make full restitution for his wrong, adding a fifth to it and giving it to him to whom he did the wrong.“ Numbers 5:6-7 ESV Let me confess a wrong I committed many years ago when I took a friend hunting. We were in a county where shooting spike bucks was illegal, and I shot a spike buck. As usually happens whenever I do something wrong, we were stopped by the game warden and we were both fined for being in possession of an illegal deer. Fast forward a number of years, I accepted Christ as my savior and he began to remind me of this incident where I caused my friend to pay for my crime. I was convicted that I needed to repay him, not only the cost of the fine, but also extra to cover what he could have gained if he had never lost that money. What I have learned over the years since I became a Christian is that God wants us to be honorable people. That may mean we have to humble ourselves before others in order sit in right standing before our Lord. Apologies are not always accepted, we likely will not be thanked for the restitution, but our audience of significance is not those people, it is God. For me, it is a good feeling to know I have done what God has required of me; it lifts a burden off my spirit that needs to removed. I pray God will continue to prepare my heart to be given over to him by cleaning up those things that stand in the way. Sanctification is not always a fun process, but the fruit of it is sweet. Pastor Tim Franklin Galveston County Food Bank The Galveston County Food Bank partners with Combined Arms for a veteran-focused monthly food distribution every third Wednesday.

· ”Prove me, O Lord, and try me; test my heart and my mind. For your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I walk in your faithfulness.“ Psalm 26:2-3 ESV David was a strong warrior, he was a good king, he is described as a man after God’s own heart, and he was almost a man of good moral character. Here he basically lays out a challenge to God. It would be like one of us saying, “Hey God, check me out and you’ll see that I am doing everything right.” In my opinion, that is a pretty bold challenge for a man to lay before the creator of the universe. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think I am prepared to make that kind of a statement, especially when I read in scripture that “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” I’m going to throw out a thought, or perhaps a wild opinion, but as I pondered this today I couldn’t help but think of David’s moral failure with Bathsheba. Was it a time when God took his hand of protection off of David and said, “You wanted to be tested, here is the test.” If that was the case, David failed the test miserably. But let’s bring it home to us, how would we fair if we challenged God to examine our heart and mind and put us to the test. I suspect that it’s a test few want to take. The good news is that in our lives the view God has of our righteousness is seen through the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ. With him we are the beloved children of God, without him we are people trapped in sin. The question is, which view does he have of us today? Pastor Tim Franklin |
