Good Soldiers of Christ
Illustration★★★At the battle of Missionary Ridge a regiment made a desperate attack upon the enemy. “Who ordered that Appendix III charge?” cried the commanding general of an officer who galloped up to him. “No one, sir,” was the response; “the men saw the need and the opportunity, and they dashed forward without waiting for orders.” The world wants thousands of Christian warriors thus to see “the need and the opportunity,” and to act promptly! Many of us are slow of heart and blind (2 Tim. ii. 3).-REV. ALLAN SUTHERLAND.
The point
C.S. Lewis argues that churches offering comfort rather than answers to suffering's reality have abandoned their responsibility to truth.
