In the early 1970s, the Iraqi government arrested

a group of American students on trumped-up

espionage charges. In order to elicit admissions

of guilt, they tortured them. They were told that

if they confessed they were spies, they would go

free. In other words: “Compromise the

truth—admit to a lie.” One by one, as the

pressures and the pain mounted, they all confessed

to crimes they had not committed—except for one

student.

The torture intensified and the

loneliness of isolation became unbearable, and he

came close to breaking. But he didn’t. Finally

they announced that they were finished with his

case, and that he could simply confess or die. A

confession lay before him as they raised a pistol

to his head, cocked the hammer and started the

countdown. He had heard executions from his cell

and knew what his captors were capable of. “Sign

your name,” he was told, “and you will

live,” but he refused. He closed his eyes,

grimaced and prepared to die. They pulled the

trigger.

When he heard the click, he thought he

was dead. The gun, however, had not been loaded.

The student was eventually released, but he

discovered afterward that every other prisoner who

had confessed was hanged in the public square. He

was the only survivor.

That day he learned a

valuable lesson about facing tough times:

Compromise represents a far greater risk than

courage.

So the threefold word for you today is:

(1) It is always right to do right.

(2) It is never wrong to do right.

(3) It is never right to do wrong.

Marriage, children, beliefs, convictions.
