The Brave Hearted

Yesterday as I drove from the cold and snow in Springfield, IL thru fog and rain to Nashville, TN (quite a drive for an out of practice ex-truck driver) I was blessed. With all that windshield time, I was able to listen to several sermons and radio stations. One program I listened to sparked my thoughts…it was a radio program interviewing the author of a book titled “The Brave-Hearted Gospel.” I know nothing about the book and I missed the interview, but I recalled from the movie “Brave Heart” (with Mel Gibson), that the brave-hearted person is one who believes in something so strongly they would give their life for the cause. So, what is it you believe in so much that you would give your life for the cause: anything? For your children or your grandchildren? What about for your faith? Some would be inclined to say they would give their life for their faith, never believing it would come to that. I say that because if you would truly give your life for your faith, it seems to me you would jump at the chance to share your faith with others. Almost daily I see people bragging...on their kids, favorite teams, favorite stores, even favorite barber/hairdresser…but too many fall silent when the opportunity to brag on their Savior presents itself. What about you? God is still looking for those with brave hearts.
