This is where I lose it with Neal Boortz, which is a shame because he's excellent on some issues. However, he's so against dealing with gay marriage, abortion, etc, and villifies those of us who care about these things (gonna lose the precious independents don't ya know).
Boortz is a spectator like the rest of us. He thinks people are robots and there are no outside forces that can change everything.
The Bible, in Judges 7, records the story of Gideon and his 300 men:
Gideon and 32,000 Israelite troops gathered near the Midianite camp, but they were severely outnumbered by their 135,000 oppressors. Gideon was ready to do battle, but God had other plans. He was about to show His people just how powerful a God He was.
God told Gideon to let anyone who was afraid of the upcoming battle return home. Twenty-two thousand men took the opportunity to leave their ranks, leaving only 10,000 remaining. But God was looking for a smaller group still.
God then told Gideon to have the remainder drink from the spring, and all those who lapped the water like a dog would remain, while the rest were sent home. Finally, with only 300 men, Gideon and his little army surrounded the Midianites. On signal they blew trumpets, broke the pitchers covering their torches and shouted, “The sword of the Lord and of Gideon!” (Judges 7:20).
Then the unthinkable happened. These 300 men—holding not swords, but torches and trumpets—routed the entire Midianite camp. Scripture records that God “set every man’s sword against his companion throughout the whole camp” (Judges 7:22). So before the Israelites even had a chance to reach for swords, God plunged the enemy camp into chaos and wild defeat. The Israelites were delivered from their foes by a miracle.
This famous story illustrates an invaluable lesson: It is God who gives the victory. His sword is what will deliver us.
