Purpose In Life, Nate Saint and Joan of Arc
Nate Saint said, “People who do not know the Lord ask why we waste our lives as missionaries. They forget they too are expending their lives, and when the bubble has burst, they will have nothing of eternal significance to show for the years they have wasted.”
Martyrs CD: “As Joan of Arc was dying at the stake, she said this quote: every man gives his life for what he believes…sometimes people believe in little or nothing, and yet they give their lives to that little or nothing. One life is all we have, we live it and it’s gone, but to live without belief is more terrible than dying, even more terrible than dying young. What do you burn for?”
From a sermon by Chris Jordon, The Life-Transforming Power of the Gospel, 11/7/2009
