Not long ago,
I read again of the shocking events which led up to the destruction of the
United States fleet at Pearl Harbor.
On the fateful day of December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked.
We know now
that attack was invited by our failure to be always vigilant.
The result
was the destruction of our fleet, the cause was tragic indifference.
When comfort
and ease and pleasure are put ahead of duty and conviction, progress is always
set back.
What makes
us Christians shrug our shoulders when we ought to be flexing our muscles?
What makes
us apathetic in a day when there are loads to lift, a world to be won, and
captives to be set free?
Why are so
many bored, when the times demand action?
Christ told
us that in the last days there would be an insipid attitude toward life.

Graham
