Remembering the Fallen

Memorial Day is the time declared by our nation to remember those who fought for our freedoms that we cherish. But, let us not forgot our brothers and sisters who have died sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God." ..."I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life. So don't be surprised when I say, you must be born again." [John 3:3, 5-7]
Even though we may not understand God's plan at the time, we must trust in what He tells us through His Word in Jer 29:11. Just as Moses' mother, Jochebed, trusted the Lord and placed her son in a basket and sent him into uncertainty, we must also have faith that Jesus will guide us through our trying times.
Since the Garden of Eden, God has given mankind the freedom to choose our own way whether that choice pleases Him or not. God tells us that He "is slow to anger and abundant in loving kindness, BUT will by no means clear the guilty." [Num 14:18] However, He [Jesus] who knew no sin, became sin for us, so we could become the righteousness of God. [2Cor 5:21]
