You are the Levite
what are you going to do?
as a Christian
you are not going to pull the equalizer out of the closet, you don’t even have one
We Are Not Our Own
As Jesus Taught
(Nathanael)
there was 3 other people in that house in danger
Acts 4 23-41 willing to lay down their lives for the unsaved
Matt 6 25-34 be anxious for nothing
Some Old Testament Examples
But, I’m Just Me
I’m no angel, great hero of faith,
Conclusion
we live by faith our body and lives belong to the King
by faith we step out boldly
by faith we put ourselves into Gods hands
by faith we ask for the impossible
we are citizens of heaven we do things differently than the world

On Instagram, John Chau came off like a carefree young adventurer - climbing mountain peaks and exploring jungles.
But in reality, the missionary harbored a deadly obsession with an isolated tribe in India he'd first read about as a teen.
Chau spent years planning to travel illegally to remote North Sentinel Island on a mission to convert its residents to Christianity.
Though he knew the islanders had long violently resisted outsiders, he conducted a covert mission to the protected island this month.
Shortly after he arrived, the tribe killed him, and police say they have yet to recover his body.
"God, I don't want to die," Chau scrawled in his journal while sitting in a fishing boat off the coast of the island where the North Sentinelese people live, shortly before he was killed.
"WHO WILL TAKE MY PLACE IF I DO?"
Chau confided that he was avoiding romantic attachments because of his planned mission.
"He knew of the dangers of this place," Ramsey recalled.
"He didn't want any hearts to get broken should something go wrong.
He was very much aware of what he was doing.
He also knew it wasn't exactly legal."
That year, Chau joined forces with All Nations, a missionary group based in Kansas City, Missouri, that sends Christian missionaries to 40 countries.
The group provided him training and support, according to Mary Ho, its international executive leader.
She was surprised by the "soft-spoken, very gentle young man" who had a very "radical call" to find "unreached groups."
"You could see that every decision he has made, every step he has taken since then was driven by his desire to be among the North Sentinelese people," Ho said.
He planned to live there for years and hoped to learn their language.
Ho said the group was aware that Chau had traveled to India as a tourist, without the proper missionary visa, because missionary visas "aren't easy to come by."
Ho insisted that Chau had not violated any laws, though authorities in India said he clearly did.
Brahma Chellaney, a professor at the Center for Policy Research in New Delhi, says Chau violated the country's aboriginal and forest protection laws as well as cultural norms.
"He repeatedly trespassed on this island, and they lost their patience with him," Chellaney said.
"There is faith, and there is mental illness. . . .
He didn't understand the line between faith and doing something that's absolutely nutty."
Chau's diary, which his family provided to The Washington Post, unfolds like the adventure novels he once read.
He arrived in the Andamans on Oct. 16 and paid fishermen to take him by boat at night to the island on Nov. 14, evading the lights of patrols on the way.
When the sun broke, Chau drew near the tribe.
The women began "looing and chattering," he wrote, and he was faced by men armed with bows and arrows.
"My name is John, I love you and Jesus loves you," he shouted before retreating.
The second day, he kayaked to the island and tried to offer the tribe small gifts - fish, scissors, cord and safety pins.
A man in white with a crown, possibly made of flowers, shouted at him.
He responded by singing "worship songs and hymns," and the tribe fell silent.
A juvenile fired an arrow at him, piercing his waterproof Bible.
Chau fled on foot through the mangroves.
"Lord, is this island Satan's last stronghold where none have heard or even had the chance to hear your name?" he wrote.
By the third day, he became convinced he was going to die.
"Watching the sunset and it's beautiful - crying a bit . . .
wondering if it will be the last sunset I see," he wrote.
He asked the fishermen to drop him on the beach.
They returned the next day and saw the tribesmen dragging Chau's body.
Those fishermen have been arrested, as has a friend of Chau's who helped organize the boat trip.
Police do not yet have a strategy to retrieve his body or confront the islanders, Pathak said.
Chau's friends from the islands are still grieving and mystified by the whole episode.
"He lost his mind, definitely," Snoeij said.
