Afeared (Afraid)


I was watching a movie, Sargent York, a true story. It was about a young man who lived in the hills in Tennessee. He was a hell-raiser. Until one day he almost died and he knew that God had spared him. He gave his heart to the Lord and served God as best he could. World War 1 happened and he knew he didn’t want to kill another human being. He became a consciences objector, but served in the US Army. During a battle, thousands of soldiers were being killed. Sgt. York set out to get to the top of the ridge to stop the machine guns killing the US soldiers. He risked everything to stop the killing. He killed 23 German soldiers and the rest surrendered. He captured 132 German soldiers. York was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. He was the most decorated soldier of WWI. When it was all over he said that he was as much against killing as he was in the beginning. The bible says, no greater love has any man than to lay down his life for another.
