Heroes Shed No Tears

Toward the close of World War II, Allied forces were mopping up against remaining Nazi resistance. One particular unit was assigned a crucial mission in Berlin. Each soldier had to memorize a map detailing all of Berlin's important military sites and they had to do it in a single night! In just a few hours, each solder in the unit has committed the map to memory. The mission was success. Several years later, the Army conducted an experiment to see if that original feat could be duplicated. They offered a similar unit an extra week's furlough an attractive incentive if they could carry out a comparable mission without a hitch. But the second unit could not match the second of the first. What made the difference? The lives of men were not at stake. Surviving in battle was a greater motivation than a week's vacation. Christians are engage in a spiritual war. Our map, our plan of strategy against Satan's military strongholds, is the Bible. The more we read it, the more of it we memorize, and the more thoroughly we know it, the more effective we will be for God.The legacy of heroes is in the memory of a great name and the inheritance of great example.Remember Heroes Shed No Tears...
