The Life of a Christian Witness (4 of 4)
Jesse M. Hendley
Acts 26:22
If you have your Bibles, friends, turn with me now to Acts the 26th chapter, and verse 22, and we are going to study today the life of a Christian witness, the life of a Christian witness back in the time of Paul; in fact, the life of Paul himself, which gives to us the idea of a Christian witness, because that is our business in the world, and that is what he said he was, here in this particular place.

God's witness cannot die as long as God wants him to witness. Somebody else has said, "God's workers are immortal until their work is finished. Then God calls them home."
