Soldiers of Faith: Washington

[…]weighty duties which thou requirest of me. . .Thou gavest thy Son to die for me; and hast given me assurance of salvation, upon my repentance and sincere endeavor to conform my life to His holy precepts and example.

I asked God how I could be a godly ambassador despite factors […]

The closest I got was a PSG who grew up in the church and turned his back on it because of its hypocrisy. So began my self-questioning. How do you share the Gospel with your platoon without crossing some EO line or offending someone? How do you stand up for Christ without standing on someone’s foot? It is such a fine line to walk. I […]
