This is the second installment in Eric Ludy’s epic summer Daily Thunder series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW1. This particular episode explores the impact of WW1 upon a generation of young idealists that believed the government was motivated by moral and just motives in fighting this terrible war, only to find out that there were far more carnal motives at the root of much of this four-year horror. The “War to End All Wars” proved to only be the “War to Start All Wars.” There are human frailties, misrepresentations, and propaganda all around us — how does a Christian reason and conclude? Where does our confidence lie? Hint: It’s not in human leadership — it’s in the Word of God, both in Text and in Person.
