Jesus said…
“But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end in not by and by. Then said he unto them, nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake. And it shall turn to your testimony” (Luke 21:9-13).
 
Question…
It’s our turn, what kind of testimony do we have?
