What is a hero? Merriam Webster offers the following option, in contrast to the pop-culture reference to a thick, meat-laden sandwich: “A person admired for achievements and noble qualities. One who shows great courage.” One only needs to look at the heroes of our young men and women today. Few know or seem to care about those great heroes that have been men and women of honor and valor. The youth of today idolize those athletes, musicians, business icons, and actors predominantly living lives of immorality and doing little, if anything, to make the world a better place or build the kingdom of God, rather the opposite, as they influence, through the media, the false hope that popularity, riches, and power are what life is all about.
