LiVE & diE | 3!p & 3!/\7

Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it. Luke 17v.33

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life

He made us free, liberated, and able to liberate others.

following Him leads to a full life, possible persecution, and inevitable fleshly death

choose to love

to be truly free - to be without fear - to be alive - to love - to die: these are constant, good, true, revolutionary, original, dangerous things

ask a soldier, how dangerous is a man without fear?

ask Mandela, how good is it to be free?

ask someone in love, how true is love?

ask someone with a broken heart, how dangerous is love?

ask Jesus, how revolutionary is it to be alive?

ask anyone, how constant is it to die?

ask God, how original are all these things?

you are free

you are alive

you are going to die

you have nothing to fear

you are loved.

I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Phillipians 1v.20-21

I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved. 2 Corinthians 12v.15
