"He Lived for His Faith" (posted May 3, 2008)

  Walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.
   - Colossians 1:10

So he died for his faith. That is fine--
    More than most of us do.
But stay! Can you add to that line
    That he lived for it, too?

It is easy to die. Men have died
    For a wish or a whim--
From bravado or passion or pride.
    Was it harder for him?

But to live--every day to live out
    All the truth that he dreamt,
While his friends met his conduct with doubt,
    And the world, with contempt--

Was it thus that he plodded ahead,
    Never turning aside?
Then, we'll talk of the life that he led--
    Never mind how he died.

Ernest Crosby
