Those brave and honorable soldiers have much to teach us who follow Jesus about how to fight and win the good fight of the faith. When duty calls, winners just do it. They don t argue. They don t debate it. They don t flip a coin.
Winners do their duty.
Surprisingly the answer is found in the odd Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes. If you ve ever read Ecclesiastes, you understand why I call it odd. It was written by Solomon, the son of King David, the third king of Israel, the wisest and the richest man of his time and perhaps of any time. It is, frankly, a rather depressing book. Everything is meaningless.
