I decided to incorporate that fact into my sermon. <br /><br />After recounting his story to the congregation I said that with our gun culture in this country it wouldn't surprise me if someone didn't point out that if Daniels had been armed he could have shot the man and saved not only the girls life but his own.<br /><br />I then said that if that were to happen, I would respond that the result would have been an act of selfishness and judgment, rather than one of selflessness.<br /><br />It would have been an example of what our Lord meant when he said that those who save their lives will lose them, and those who lose their lives for his sake would have eternal life.Deacon Charlie Perrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02865504124912476964noreply@blogger.com
