“...some of us would die - so that other men can stand up on their feet like men. A great many are going to die for that. They have in the past. They will a hundred years from now - two hundred. God grant there will always be men good enough. Men like Rab,” (ch. XII, p. 297). As Christians we are commanded to submit to the authority God has placed in our lives. But sometimes it is important to stand up for the freedom of others. Who else in history has stood up for the freedom of others? How do we know when it’s time to live in peace, and when it’s time to fight to protect people?

Nathan Hale was an example of someone who stood up and died for his country. He was a revolutionary soldier and spy who was captured and killed by British soldiers. Nathan Hale reportedly went to his death regretting that, "I only have but one life to give for my country." He died so that others could be free and able to follow his example. Sometimes there is a time for peace, when unrest is able to be settled by assurance and compromise, but sometimes there is a time to stand up and protect others against whatever is trying to take away their freedom, rights, or safety.

Abraham Lincoln is a good example of a freedom driven leader. He supported the ideas of the north and lead the country through a war for equality. We should fight when there is a substantial problem in the world.
