I’m sure my friend and mentor didn’t understand the explosive power of the bomb he dropped on me. His simple question transformed the way I have thought about sin, temptation, and the Christian life. I met weekly with my friend for encouragement and mutual accountability in agreed-upon areas of weakness. For three weeks running I had to confess failings in one particular area. “I hate that I’m saying it,” I said quietly, “but… I did it again.” |

General Thomas Jonathan “Stonewall” Jackson received his nickname because of the way he would remain motionless and calm in the heat of battle. The story is told by C.S.A. General Imboden (then a Captain) that after hearing of Jackson’s wounds he rode to Centreville and during the conversation asked him “General, how is it that you can keep so cool, and appear so utterly insensible to danger in such a storm of shells and bullets as rained about you when your hand was hit?” The General answered him in a grave and reverent tone, “Captain, my religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death; I do not concern myself with that, but to always be ready no matter when it may overtake me. That is the way all men should live, then all men would be as equally brave” (Stonewall Jackson and the American Civil War, Henderson, pg. 139). |
