Currahee


Tonight I had the honor of watching Band of Brothers with some guys from Edgewood. We watched the first episode entitled Currahee. For those who haven't seen the Band of Brothers series I highly recommend it. Anyways, there are many things one can garner from each episode such as leadership insights, fellowship, and much more.

One thing that hit me tonight was the great things that can happen when men are united for a cause. We all know that the men of Easy Company helped wipe out Hitler and the Nazi regime. The closing scene watching the men fly out to make the jumps on D-Day can be pretty inspiring and just shows how much the men were willing to sacrifice for the cause.

One can only imagine what the world would be like if Christian men sought the Lord and united in the cause for the glory of His cross.

The meaning of Currahee is "We stand alone". For us, Christian men, we stand alone, distinct from this world, and through God's initiative look to usher in His kingdom into this world.
