quote
"It is a bad world, an incredibly bad world. But I have discovered in the midst of it a quiet and holy people who have learned a great secret. They have found a joy that is a thousand times better than any pleasure of our sinful life. They are despised and persecuted, but they care not. They are masters of their souls. They have overcome the world. These people are the Christians - and I am one of them." Saint Cyprian (200-258)

This is a good quote. Inspiring. It reminds me of the people/stories in the Voice of the Martyrs publication, or the Jesus Freaks books.
ah yes, V.O.M, is at the same time hard to read yet so inspiring. to know there are christians out there who will take a stand for their Lord is helpful to those of us who see everyday so called Christians who nether can nor will stand for anything!
