The Job Description of Every Christian

The voice of the world is strong in our present day, and oftentimes the voices of Christians are silent. Are you afraid to share the truth of the Gospel? The Apostle Paul reported to the pastors in Jerusalem regarding those who were saved on his missionary journeys. Shortly after his arrival in Jerusalem, he was arrested (Acts 22), and the rest of the book of Acts details Paul's defense. In each of his six defenses, Paul stands firm in his faith. We should stand firm as well!
