Today, when we call someone a martyr, we usually mean that they are whiny, or that they falsely believe that the world is against them, or that they suffer for no reason.
A true martyr is a witness, someone who dies for what they believe in. Stephen was willing to die in obedience to Jesus. The modern world says that we must be crazy to die for our beliefs.
Is there something you are willing to die for? Has God laid some area of mission or ministry on your heart so much that you would give your life for it? Most of us would live for Christ and his commitment to the world. Who would die for Jesus today?
