Be a Dragon Slayer

MELISSA R. FOULKE

According to folklore, dragon-slaying was once considered a noble pursuit. Those who hoped to prevail against these fearsome creatures possessed a vigorous blend of courage, fidelity, and persistence.

Of course, even in ancient times many people recognized that the spiny-scaled monster which struck terror in the souls of fainthearted beholders was only a fabulous beast. But is all belief in dragons really obsolete? The fallacious and fictitious beliefs of evil typified by the Biblical allegory of the great red dragon in Revelation are still rampant in the twentieth century. They bewilder and terrify their present-day believers as surely as they did in days of old.

Are you allowing the red dragon to enter your thought unresisted through unawareness of the truth of being or through fear or apathy? Or are you correcting aggressive suggestions and slaying the dragon?
