Would you be willing to die for your faith? It’s something I’ve thought about more recently as I’ve heard about modern-day martyrs.
We usually think of martyrs as people from long ago. But there have been — and continue to be — modern-day martyrs who have died for their beliefs.

Over Easter weekend, I watched the 2014 movie Exodus: Gods and Kings, which tells the epic story of Moses and his flight from Egypt to the promised land.
This Ridley Scott film seems to be based fairly accurately on Scripture. After seeing the movie, I did need to do some research into the actual biblical passages to find out who was who. My knowledge of the Old Testament is limited, I discovered.
I was not aware that Moses was married (his wife’s name is Zipporah) and he had one or two sons. He actually lived as a shepherd for many years before God appeared to him out of a burning bush and told him to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt.
The theme for the University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team has been “Make ’em believe.”
When they lost to Kentucky in the Final Four last year, most of the team (minus Ben Brust who graduated) came back to try to achieve their dream of becoming national champions.
They wanted people to believe that they could win that title, along with other goals of being conference champions in the regular season and post-season tournament.
