| 0:00.0 | The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch, Acts 1126. |
| 0:07.7 | Welcome to this daily encouragement from Our Daily Bread. |
| 0:11.9 | Our Birthright in Christ was written by Marvin Williams and read by Stephen Tabor. |
| 0:21.9 | 1. Peter, chapter 4, verses 12 through 19. |
| 0:26.8 | Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, |
| 0:33.1 | as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice in as much as you participate in the |

| 1:55.3 | favorite charity. After some soul-searching, the radio host held firm and told the owner no. |
| 2:02.4 | He explained, I'd be saying I'd do anything for money, and that bothers me. |
| 2:07.4 | My name is my birthright. |
