  3. Mercy, peace, and pureness of heart are not something we find in ourselves, but we find them in Christ, and in Christ we are found to be all those things.

What constitutes martyrdom for Christians? Where does the idea of martyrdom originate, and is it still a relevant topic for us today?
  10. Be a hero and listen up to the preachers! Real men die for a purpose and bring back a little doctrine in their sermons. Martin Luther would be proud.
