It once was the American way; A living out of the Scripture “greater love has no man than this than he would lay down his life for his friends.” It was not the actual dying that is so captivating, but rather, the willingness to die, that exhorts men to higher achievement.

The cowardly lion innately understood it…”what makes a King out of a slave”…nothing touches the heart of man as much as a sold-out act of courage.

Jesus was the ultimate hero. He HAD to be the Son of God. What is the old line about Him…”He was a liar, a lunatic, or Lord”…has there ever lived a greater example of courage than the man from Galilee?

I’ll never forget the afternoon of 9-11 as I sat like so many others, transfixed by the events of the day, in front of my TV as history unfolded. Nothing impacted me more that day than the act of bravery displayed by the firefighters. Against all human instincts they willingly ran into a building that everyone else was running out of. It was the Christian-ethic playing out before us…greater love has no man than this…the faith of our fathers…the Christian ethic that built this nation. But that character-trait is rapidly disappearing in this nation.

Christian men have become cowardly lions. Most won’t even stand up to their wife and children. They are vanishing from participating in “church activities,” opting instead for the excitement of sports where they can vicariously live-out courage through the lives’ of the real men they see living out “the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.”

The Church no longer believes in victory, but capitulation. Modern-American Christianity teaches that God is somehow more glorified through defeat than He would be through victory. A defeatist attitude subtlety promoted from the pulpit intimates that to “turn the other cheek” was a commandment to become a floor mat for the rulers of this world.
