This site is for all those wondering if they have enough courage and strength to endure risks, persecution, and martyrdom with Jesus.

When your fears overwhelm you, Stand firm. When you are threatened, Stand firm. When you are hated, Stand firm. When you are hungry, Stand firm. When you are cold, Stand firm. When you are in pain, Stand firm. When you have fallen, Get back up and stand firm. When your spouse or mother or father is beaten because you are a Christ-follower, Stand firm. When they torture your child in front of you, Stand firm. When your family attacks you verbally, physically, or sexually, Stand firm. When your friend betrays you, Stand firm. When your children turn their backs on you and Christ, Stand firm. When you feel all alone, Stand firm. When they are hitting you, Stand firm. When you feel no one remembers you, Stand firm. When it seems like God can’t hear your prayers, Stand firm. When your tears won’t stop, Stand firm. When you have no tears left, Stand firm. When the knife is at your throat, Stand firm. When you don’t think you can stand any longer, your knees tremble, and you’re ready to give up, Stand firm. The ones who endure to the end will be saved. He is worthy.
