Ephesians
3:16---That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be
strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
Horace
Pitkin, the son of a wealthy merchant, was converted and went to China as a
missionary. He wrote to his friends in America, saying, “It will be but a short
time till we know definitely whether we can serve Him better above or here.”
Shortly afterward, a mob stormed the gate of the compound where Pitkin defended
the women and children. He was beheaded and his head was offered at the shrine
of a heathen god, while his body was thrown into a pit with the bodies of nine
Chinese Christians.
Sherwood
Eddy, writing about him, said, “Pitkin won more men by his death than he ever
could have won by his life.” Christ needs people today who are made of martyr
stuff! Dare to take a strong, uncompromising stand for Him.
