Book of Wong : It's About the Boys
My friend was not a Christian then, and this behaviour from his seniors who were 'Christians' offended him. I could understand why he wanted resign. But I told him, "If you resign, you will remove the barrier that stands between them, and our juniors. You will let them 'pollute' our Boys. We must tolerate them, and let our Boys see better examples of what a leader should be. We must endure for the sake of our Boys." He stayed on. In fact, he is currently very active in the Boys Brigade overseas.
When we lose sight of the very reasons we do this; when we lose sight of our Boys; when we lose sight of "Why" - we will give up. As Officers, we will encounter friction - either among fellow officers, or at the State and National levels, or even with our local sponsoring Authorities. It will leave us disappointed, discouraged and even disgusted. But you know what? Leave it - because that's not the reason why we are Officers. Leave it - because, at the end of the day, our Boys' don't care. Our Boys' don't care about those things. Our Boys care about their exams and school. They care about that girl they have a crush on. They care about the way they look to their friends. They care about their identity as a young person growing up. And they look to us to be there for them - because we said we would. At our Enrolment Service, we made an oath before God and man that will serve Jesus and our Boys. Not our State or National leaders. Not our pastors or local church authorities. We serve Jesus, and we serve our Boys. The day we lose sight of that, we might as well turn in our collar badges and call it quits.
