We may fear God calling us to short, dramatic lives and a martyr's death but it seems to me, in many ways, that would be easier than the long, quiet resistance of anonymous faithfulness in constant danger of folding into the warm, soft, fuzzy, smothering embrace of the perfumed, comfortable, luxuriant, bosom of Babylon.
We may hate affliction and suffering, but it is truly God's gift to His people which keeps them in dependence upon Him.
