The media loves to over-hype mentally deranged criminals who try to use their Christian faith for what they perceive as “doing God’s work” when they commit a heinous crime.

But like anything, there are always some “bad apples” and Christian faith is no different.

However, for every one oddball out there, there are millions of good, quiet, God-fearing Christians performing noble acts every day that the media gives scarce (if any) coverage of.

For one will scarcely die for a righteous person — though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die — but God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:7-8

On October 20th, a terrorist, dressed in lady’s clothing, approached the women’s campus of Islamabad’s International Islamic University.

His loose-fitting robes concealed explosives wrapped in layers of ball bearings. When detonated it was intended to kill many people inside a cafeteria filled with hundreds of college-age students.

The terrorist shot the guard and prepared to enter the dining hall.

That was when Pervaiz Masih, a custodian for the school, stepped into the doorway.

Masih told the poorly disguised man he couldn’t go in. The man insisted, but Masih stood firm.

The terrorist detonated his bomb. Three students were killed — far less than what might have happened if Masih had not sacrificed himself.

Masih worked at the school for less than a week at a job that paid $60 a month.

Masih’s grave is unmarked and his family is behind in their apartment rent.

Masih was a devout Christian.

So I ask you this: What would motivate an impoverished man to sacrifice himself for kids of a different faith?

You see, true Christians know that terrorists and devils and death don’t have the final word.

Every day, true Christians sacrifice in the Savior’s Name.

This one sacrificed everything.

THE FINAL INSPECTION

The soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

‘Step forward now, you soldier,
How shall I deal with you ?
Have you always turned the other cheek ?
To My Church have you been true?’

The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
‘No, Lord, I guess I ain’t.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can’t always be a saint.

I’ve had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I’ve been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.

But, I never took a penny,
That wasn’t mine to keep…
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I’ve wept unmanly tears.

I know I don’t deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.

If you’ve a place for me here, Lord,
It needn’t be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don’t, I’ll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.

‘Step forward now, you soldier,
You’ve borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven’s streets,
You’ve done your time in Hell.’

Hey, which teacher wants to add me to his/her health insurance plan? Since I’m paying for it and that’s sucking up so much of what I earn I can’t buy my own, wouldn’t that be a REAL public service?
