I have been really interested in this new movement called "I am second." It is a collaboration of short movies created by real people, telling real stories of how Jesus is first in their life and how they are second. I was watching a video from a guy named Chris Plekenpol and I am utterly speechless. He was in the army and was the commander of about 100 men. He was fighting in Iraq when all of a sudden a car bomber ran his car into a tank. The bomb didn't go off when it was supposed to, but the terrorist was badly injured. The terrorist rolled out of the car, with the car about to explode. For a split instant, Chris could have saved the terrorist. But he said that he wasn't at the place to save his enemy. A few minutes later, they all watched as the terrorist blew up. Then it hit Chris... I am that terrorist... I was the enemy to the Lord, yet He sent His Son to die to take that heat. What a powerful picture of God's will for us. Anyway, there are tons of testimonies on the site. I am blown away at the reality of each testimony. If you have a chance check out the site at www.iamsecond.com... and you can check out Chris' testimony here.
