Sacrifice. by Howard Guinness.

Where are the men of this generation who will hold their lives cheap (Rev 12:11), and be faithful even unto death?
Where are those who will lose their lives for Christ’s sake – flinging them away for love of Him?
Where are those who will live dangerously, and be reckless in His service (Acts 15:26)?
Where are his lovers – those who love Him and the souls of men more than their own reputations or comfort, or very life?
Where are the men who say “no” to self, who take up Christ’s cross to bear it after Him who are willing to be nailed to it in college or office, home or mission field; who are willing, if need be, to bleed, to suffer, and to die on it?
Where are the men of vision today?
Where are the men of enduring vision?
Where are the adventurers, the explorers, the buccaneers for God who count one human soul of far greater value than the rise or fall of an empire?
Where are the men who glory in God-sent loneliness, difficulties, persecutions, misunderstandings, discipline, sacrifice, death?
Where are the men who are willing to pay the price of vision?
Where are the men of prayer?
Where are the men that count God’s Word of more importance to them than their daily food?
Where are the men and, like Moses of old, commune with God face to face as a man speaks with his friend?
Where are God’s men in this day of need of God’s power?”
compliments of Rob, thanks. good stuff.
