Dulpa, 8 reflection crusades

I learned that whenever there is a war there is also a cost. The crusades during in the Middle Ages were also cost and loss of many lives. Thousands and thousands of people were killed for a cause. Many innocent people were killed, burned, women were raped. People during those years suffered a lot because the man who started the first Crusade was Pope Urban II. He was tall and handsome and impressive. He was also a great orator or speaker. He knew how to speak and spoke to the people about the birth of Jesus with much feeling him and huge crowd believed the pope and they felt anger towards the Turks.

I Learned that Urban have been a powerful and effective preacher, but he had one major problem: he did not preach the truth. The Crusade resulted in much loss of life; many people died due to hunger, thirst, war, and famine. I learned from the mistakes of the past. I had also experienced listening to the wrong voice. I taught it was right but it brings me down. In the end I realized that I was wrong after I committed a mistake. Now I must be aware of misguided words, I must think first before I will act.

The Crusaders were all excited about rescuing the Holy Land from the Turks. Today people get all excited about many things. I may also get excited after my graduation, but I must always put in my mind that I must listen to the voice of God. The Crusaders were all passionate about killing Turks. I must also practice being   passionate about sharing the gospel with people that I may going to meet after my graduation and seeing some of them come to know the Savior and walk in the truth of God’s Word. Many of the crusaders were very sincere in what they were doing. I must also be sincere in my daily walk with God, my first priority in life, and my right attitude. I must be sincere in my daily communication with God, especially reading His word.
