So I have most of my life heard martyr used in a degrading term. Saying it in a hurtful tone. To say you are bad.
I spoke to Dave about it. After being at fellowship I welcomed the real term of being a martyr. And oh how I embrassed that. In hopes that at one time if I am confronted with that that I will be able to put my worldy desires behind and be a martyr.
The other conotation Dave told mr about what the one I'm assuming is used in a ugly manor. Martyr meaning you volunteer to do something or a lot and then complain and oh woe is me type of attitude. Self righteous or whatever
That never crossed my mind. I would be grateful to be called a martyr. Some one that dies for Christ. Or for their faith. I hope that if I ever am in that position that I can do that.
Just a thought
