First century Christians as disciples had no problem witnessing and publicly testifying about the faith for they had true examples in the Apostles themselves. They watched them get beating, hauled off to prison and executed for their faith. What examples does the Church have today when the media builds false hero’s and the true hero’s, the unknowns to the rank of earthen popularity, the missionaries abroad, the street pastors, those who have forsaken all for the glory of God yet are fully known in Heaven go unnoticed or ignored often looked down upon as to radical or to heavenly minded to be any good here on earth.
While many look to the likes of TD Jakes, Benny Hinn, Paula White, Creflo Dollar, Joel Osteen and Joyce Meyer’s as their hero’s -When the truth be told the disciples following the likes of Paul, Peter and John wouldn’t even recognize these men and women as true followers of the Lord Jesus Christ for their public persona is all about prosperity, popularity, greed and a watered down, showmanship Gospel.
