Champ or coward?
June 30, 2016 · 0 Comments
Cassius Clay was unwilling to fight for his country in the Vietnam war.
He was not brave to stand up and serve his country, the U.S.A., when his country needed him most. Instead, he chose to serve himself for fame and fortune.
No; war should not always be the answer to settle our country’s differences.
But very often, it turns out to be the only way to defend ourselves against our countries’ enemies. That is especially true for countries like Canada and the U.S.A. that have been built on Judeo-Christian values. Because, in the evil spiritual realm, there are always enemies, watching and waiting to kill, rob, and destroy.
A person may cause evil to others, not only by his actions, but also by his inaction. And in either case, he is justly accountable to them for the injury.
The reasons and explanations for this can be found for yourself in the Holy Bible.
That person, who has nothing for which he is willing to fight for his country, and has nothing that is more important than his own personal safety and security, is a miserable creature. He has no chance of being free unless he is made or kept so by the efforts, exertions, and the sacrifices of better men than himself.
