“The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered them to be stripped and beaten with rods. After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the jailer was commanded to guard them carefully.About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.”

Would you pray and sings hymns after you preached the gospel and were beaten with baseball bats and flogged severely (that means before you were dead)
Depends in where your focus is ???
What keeps you from being a great disciple ?
Will the world stop you from obeying God ?
