Patriot Day 2019

“Behold the proud,
His soul is not upright in him;
But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2:4

Today we remember a sudden attack on our land in the form of civilian airplanes hijacked by an enemy who wished to destroy. And destroy they did. The details you will recall all too well, and if not there will be much opportunity today to refresh your memories. It is events such as 9/11 that test our faith.

How can a loving God allow such a thing? Many ask this question even today. What God allows is a choice. Some choose to believe in the Christ, while others choose to ignore, reject, procrastinate, and even envy, hate, or destroy. Take away the ability to choose the sin and to do what is right is no longer a choice but a default. The way of faith preserves the choice, and there will be events such as this one we remember on this day. Some will choose death and destruction over the salvation and justification bought by Jesus with His blood. And when they do make that choice, suffering comes to many and faith is tested. 

We believe in Jesus the Christ, and one day He will return.
