300 men. I don’t know if anyone here has seen “300” (I haven’t ) but that was another situation where it was 300 against a vast army. And though the Spartans fought nobly, and died honorably, they could not win. But the Israelites, with 300 men, and the power of God, triumphed. How great a contrast!

Great post David and very well written too. It just hit me that when men are brave, when men are true to God, so much can be done with so few. When confronted with the undercurrent around us of “you are powerless to make a difference”, it is always encouraging remember the men and women in history who did stand up and make a difference. Those who had everything against them and still succeeded because they trusted in the Lord.

Your article is important because the world needs godly men and women who are willing to stand up and lead their children forward.
And yet, men today just don’t seem to care about injustice or righting what is wrong. A couple months ago here in CA, an arsonist drove up the I-8 freeway starting over a dozen roadside fires. It was not the dead of night. There were other people (read: men) on the road. Did they stop and try to put some of the fires out? No. Did they stop and call the fire station, police, and 9-11? Yes. They expected officials to protect the homes, ect. around the fires. These fires were initially not roaring, blazing infernos, most were smaller than camp fires, but only one person stopped and put out a couple of them. It took the fire crews hours to mop up all of the fires, some of which had become very large by the time they arrived. Because of apathy, thousands of dollars had to be expended in taxes, and homes were put in danger.

Perhaps it’s a little off subject but anyway, looking forward to part 2!

Amen, Rebekah!

I ran across this quote today and thought it belonged here: “Peter did not feel very brave; indeed, he felt he was going to be sick. But that made no difference to what he had to do.” (C. S. Lewis)

Now for Part 2!:)

I can’t help but smile and shake my head because the word surrender has often been found on my lips and heart the past few months. Last year my understanding of surrender was that it was a one time choice made at the point of surrender to Jesus as Lord… but I’ve come to a better understanding that it means many day by day choices to live out the overall surrender of Jesus as Lord. He has so much that He’s waiting to offer… as long as we let loose the grime that we hold so dear!

Wonderful post, David! =)

Thanks, David! Keep it coming!

These Days Aren’t Over

I continue to be appalled at our society day in and day out. And it continues to hit closer and closer to home — especially when your residence is in the D.C./Metropolitan area. This time the story takes place at Arundel High School. The scene is…

Bryce, you rock.

My comments there about “the mistake” were entirely tongue-in-cheek. God’s sovereign plan is illustrated so clearly and wonderfully in all of these stories.

David, that was a well written, challenging post. Thank you. I am faced with fear often, and yet that only betrays my lack of faith in the providence of God.

[P.S. Not wanting to distract from the message of the post, I want to suggest that God didn’t only know that 22,000 would go home, but he ordained it.]
