COURAGE IS FAITH OVER FEAR:

A few months ago, the movie "Hacksaw Ridge" came out; a TRUE STORY of a devout young Seventh-day Adventist who enlisted in the U.S. Army during World War II, and received his nation's highest military award, the Congressional Medal of Honor, for saving between 50-100 men under heavy enemy combat, WHILE REFUSING TO KILL OR CARRY A WEAPON... He carried instead an unshakable faith in The Lord, a Bible, and a med-kit to deliver first-aid to the soldiers he carried out of harm's way.


Our Lord told us of how one, who has pure faith, can accomplish anything (Matthew 17:20), and Corporal Desmond Thomas Doss proved Our Lord was right!


So, if you ever feel like you don't have enough faith and courage to overcome what stands in your way, remember Desmond, and realize that if he could do that, then surely, by comparison, you can overcome the lesser challenge holding you back.

Desmond Doss
Desmond Thomas Doss (February 7, 1919 – March 23, 2006) was a United States Army corporal who served as a combat medic with an infantry company in World War II. Due to his religious beliefs, he refused to carry a weapon. He was twice awarded the Bronze Star Medal for actions on Guam and in the Philippines. Doss further distinguished himself in the Battle of Okinawa by saving an estimated 75 men, acting on his own, becoming the first of only three conscientious objectors to receive the Medal of Honor for this and other actions, the others being Thomas W. Bennett and Joseph G. LaPointe Jr., who were posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor during the Vietnam War. His life has been the subject of books, the 2004 documentary The Conscientious Objector, and the 2016 Oscar-winning film Hacksaw Ridge, in which he was portrayed by Andrew Garfield.
