This is the fortieth installment in Eric Ludy’s epic summer Daily Thunder series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW1. This episode explores the impact of one particular soldier on the landscape of the war. In October of 1918, in the Argonne-Meuse offensive, one soldier stunned, not just the Germans, but the entire world. Under fire of 30 machine guns directly aimed at him, he not only captured all the enemy's machine guns, but captured 132 German soldiers while he was at it—single-handedly. It's a remarkable story and one that has a rich spiritual parallel in our own lives.

This is the thirty-eighth installment in Eric Ludy’s epic summer Daily Thunder series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW1. This episode covers the convulsive and defining period of 1917 and 1918 in the war. But, whereas most of the episodes in this series tell the stories of WW1 from a low altitude and zoom in on the participating characters—this episode flies higher and is able looks down on WW1 from the 50,000-foot level, allowing the passenger to see the intervention of God in the unfolding of these cataclysmic events. Even when it would appear that God has forgotten man and has left man to his own violent devices—He is still very much in control. And if He is in control of nations, how much more should I believe He is in in control of my life?

This is the thirty-seventh installment in Eric Ludy’s epic summer Daily Thunder series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW1. This episode transports us once again to the icy cold frontiers of Russia in 1917. It is a year in Russian history that will certainly never be forgotten.

This is the thirty-sixth installment in Eric Ludy’s epic summer Daily Thunder series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW1. This episode returns us to the chillier zone of Russia where revolution is underway. A change is taking place in this territory of the world which will prove far more devastating than WW1. The Germans have schemed to finally put an end to Russia in April of 1917, but their scheming to harm their neighbor, will amazingly come back upon their own heads and prove the seeds of their own national disintegration.

This is the thirty-fifth installment in Eric Ludy’s epic summer Daily Thunder series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW1. This episode showcases what many WW1 experts claim to be the climactic point of the war—Germany’s unleashing of unrestricted U-boat warfare and a subsequent telegram sent by their war minister Arthur Zimmermann. In early 1917, the United States was still strongly vying to remain a neutral country, and that is exactly the way Germany preferred it. But, due to a colossal blunder, the Germans end up, proverbially speaking, shooting themselves in the foot.

It is far to easy in the modern church to presume that we are safe and secure from any threat of sin or idolatry. Yet Paul reminds the Corinthians that they too must beware lest they fall like the Israelites of old. In this message, Nathan explores Paul’s exhortation in 1 Corinthians 10:12 and shows that we, like the Corinthians, must continually be on guard against pride and presumption—standing fast to the reality of Jesus Christ and His humbling work in our lives.
