CHOICE: JOB OR FAITH

"As they were driving away, the boy (14 yrs old) told his father that the enlisted men had spoken to him.
'They told my son that, 
'you can be proud of your father
because
he's keeping his faith.'" 




Wes Modder ministered to Navy Seals. Though his record exhibited nothing but excellence, he suddenly became unfit for his job.
"Unable to function in the diverse 
pluralistic environment."

Being a chaplain, it makes sense to me that he would give biblical counsel. But that counsel would not permit premarital sex, homosexuality, masturbation, or worship of other gods. That didn't sit well with a young man who'd been peppering him (setting him up?) with leading questions.
Job Lost!
Clean Your Desk!

Thus the above scene played out. 
The choice: Job or Faith

What would you do? 
What WILL you do?

It all seems so unfair--so tolerant one way, but not the other. We're encouraged (demanded) to tolerate all faiths and lifestyles Except Christianity.
But . . .
Seriously,
How will people know whether our faith is a duty thing,
or our very heartbeat and existence?
How will they know it's Genuine,
Life-Giving,
Worth the sacrifice?
Unless . . .
They see that WE are willing to make that sacrifice.

"The whole command knows that Chaplain Modder is 
Keeping The Faith."
