Veterans Day

This matter arose because some false believers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves. We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you. Galatians 2:4-5

Today is Veterans Day. It is a day set aside to honor those men and women who served our country protecting our freedoms. Freedom is a wonderful blessing that we have in Jesus Christ. We are blessed to live in a country that allows us to live out our Christian faith in that freedom.

In Paul’s day there were those who infiltrated the church in order to try to take that freedom away. But the followers of Christ did not give in for a moment, so that they could protect their freedom in order to preserve the truth of the gospel. Two-thousand years later things have not changed. There are still those who are unbelievers that try to take our freedoms away. Fortunately, we have men and women who are willing to stand up and protect our freedoms and are unwilling to give in even for a moment. Today let us remember the veterans who have fought to protect our freedom in Christ.

Prayer: Thank you Lord for the freedom we have in Jesus Christ. Thank you that we live in a country that protects and preserves this freedom. Thank you for our veterans who did not give in, but stood up for our freedom. Amen.

Faith Tip: Today thank a veteran for their service to our country.
