It seems that at least once in every generation an ordinary Christian performs extraordinary exploits for God and by doing so, rebukes the mediocrity of most Christians. Brother Tom is such a person.
A humble and unassuming man, Tom’s unshakable faith draws more attention to the God who is the object of that faith than to the man we call Brother Tom. He admits he is still a soldier of the cross and his great commander gave him the orders to carry out (not just quote but carry out) the orders like in Isaiah 58. “Cry aloud, spare not, but tell my people their sins.”
The consequences are sometimes hard but orders are orders. You may lose friends and even family but the rewards are great. When the battle is over we shall wear a crown in the new Jerusalem.
