September 11th: In Remembrance
by Daniel Rodgers
1. This coming Wednesday, the 11th, America will remember and mourn the tragic loss of life in New York City, when two commandeered airliners were flown into the twin towers; and then the subsequent horrific crash of another plane into the Pentagon. Moments later, the news came to us of a fourth plane crashing into a field in Pennsylvania. a. It is a day none of is will ever forget...the grief, the shock--the absolute numbness that gripped our souls, as we watched the collapse of these buildings, taking with them thousands of lives: 1) There were moms and dads, children and grandchildren, brothers and sisters - people not only from...
America: Gripped by Fear
by Ernest Easley
As of September 11th... America has been Gripped by Fear! Fear has gripped us as a nation like an object in a vice! And that should not surprise us! Now... the recent events should sadden us... but not surprise us! In speaking of His second coming... Jesus said in Luke 21.25-28, ''And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress (anxiety) of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud...
Motives For Madness (13 of 18)
by Stan Coffey
We are talking about the madness of terrorism. Terrorism is a real part of what is taking place in Iraq. Again this week and every week, we see terrorism as a real part of what we are fighting. The war on terror is a huge part of our response. Someone said this week that if we have another attack on America like the one we had September 11th, the famous attack on the Pentagon and on the World Trade Center, if we have another attack of that magnitude that the response of the United States could set off World War III. Because the United States will not tolerate another kind of attack such as that or one of even greater...
Terror in America
by Jerry Vines
Tuesday morning started off to be a beautiful, beautiful morning. The sun was shining. There was a soft breeze blowing. In New York and in Washington, just like in Jacksonville and Atlanta, parents were getting their children to school. Workers were getting that next cup of coffee, beginning the activities of the day. In Boston and Newark and Washington, just like in Jacksonville and Dallas, people were boarding planes. Some on business trips. Others trips of pleasure. Barbara Olson, well-known television commentator and lawyer had had breakfast with her husband, Ted, Solicitor General, and was getting ready to...
A Call to Arms (8 of 8)
by Steve Jones
Who said each of the following lines: 'I have not yet begun to fight' John Paul Jones 'I shall return' - Douglas MacArthur' December 7th, 1941 - A day that will live in infamy!' - Franklin Roosevelt 'We will fight them in the air, on the sea, on the beaches...' - Winston Churchill All of the preceding were historical figures who gained fame for issuing a call to arms in a memorable manner. Now for one that is more recent and urgent: 'This will not stand' - George W. Bush On September 11, 2001, the United States of America was attacked by terrorists and thousands were killed in the suicide bombings of the World Trade Center and the Washington...
The Healing of America
by Terry J. Hallock
2nd Chronicles 7:14 makes it clear that Israel would only be healed when their hearts were humbled, their lips opened in prayer, their eyes turned toward the Lord, and their lives turned away from sin. ''If my people, who are called by my name, will humbles themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, THEN will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.'' America stands in need of healing. She has been wounded in the heart by terror, suffering, and death. America not only stands in need of healing; she stands ready to receive it. People who before September 11th never...
Our Hiding Place (8 of 11)
by Roger Thomas
Pastors get asked questions all the time. Here are a few actual letters that kids have sent to ministers: Dear Pastor, does God like everybody? If so, He never met my sister. (Arnold, age 9) Dear Pastor, do you think my father should be a minister? Every day he gives us a sermon about something. (Robert, age 11) Dear Pastor, I'm sorry I can't leave more money in the plate, but my dad didn't give me a raise in my allowance. Could you have a sermon about a raise in my allowance? (Patty, age 10) Dear Pastor, could you say a prayer for our little league team? We need God's help…or a new pitcher. (Alexander, age 10) Dear...
Understanding the Times
by Jim Henry
I had an interview with several people who have been asked what their thoughts were in the aftermath of September 11th. One man, and I think he was from the West Coast, made a very pungent statement. He said, ''I have sober questions that need sober answers.'' I think that he probably voiced what many people are thinking these days. Personally, I've been trying to sort out my feelings and understanding of the times. It's hard for me to pull it all together. But, I realize as I was listening, reading and watching, that a lot of people are going through ''What about this, and what about that, and who are these, and what are we going...
Tower of Freedom (1 of 4)
by Jeff Strite
Chuck (our worship leader) just sang Alan Jackson's song which asked where were you when the ''world stopped turning'', when the Twin Towers fell 10 years ago. Several of our people were visiting New York City and were trapped at Central Park, unable to tell quite what had happened, or knowing the full extent of the tragedy that took place that day. This weekend, our nation is memorializing the tragedy that has been remembered by the simple words: ''September 11th'' - There are civic events that will remember those who lost their lives that terrible day There's a special worship service at the National...
The Value Of The Sacrifice
by Lenny Ports
Value is a word that we throw around in conversations daily. It is by definition: the relative worth, utility, or importance of something. If something is not worth anything, it has no value. Things that don't cost us anything will have little or no value to us. Buffet example - no cruises for me. Jesus said there would be a cost to being his disciple. But there is also a great value to it. Luke 9:23 Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. 24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. I believe that...
Blessings for America
by Adrian Rogers
Turn please to Psalm 85, if you would. In just a moment we're going to look at verses four through six. I preached to you in the last message when we were together about the critical situation in our land today. We may be on the brink of a world holocaust. Many of us feel that we are very close to the Rapture of the church and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The heartthrob of my heart tonight and my passion as your pastor and as your preacher tonight is that there will be in America a God blessed, heaven sent, Christ exalting, devil defying, sin killing, soul saving, old fashioned revival. I believe with all of my heart that...
America At War
by Dr. Ed Young
The first church I pastored was the First Baptist Church of Erwin, North Carolina. Not far from that little town in North Carolina is a historic Presbyterian church. In fact, it’s one of the oldest Presbyterian churches in America, it’s founding date prior to the Revolutionary War. The name of that church is the Barbeque Presbyterian Church. You just can’t get a better name than that! The pastor was a strict and pious young Presbyterian minister - seminary-trained, biblical, articulate, and legalistic. One Sunday morning, with the rumblings of a coming revolution sweeping across the land, this young pastor prayed for the American...
America in Crisis
by J. Gerald Harris
We were told that it could happen. We never dreamed that it would. The devastation and death in New York City, the devastation and death at the Pentagon in Washington, DC, the plane crash in Somerset, Pennsylvania, it's mind boggling, it's heart rending and it ought to produce some soul searching. Democratic Senator Christopher Dodd of Connecticut said, "We stand completely and totally behind our President. We may have our differences from time to time, but on a day like this, which rivals the attack on Pearl Harbor, we stand united behind our President and our government. The President said in his first speech...
God Bless America: The Missing Element in America's Home
by Ernest Easley
As we continue thinking under the heading, ''God Bless America'' I want to talk to you this morning from God's Word about The Missing Element in America's Homes. Take your Bible and turn please to the book of Judges. And once you find the book of Judges look if you will to chapter 11. Across America today we are honoring our Fathers. In fact since 1922 the third Sunday in June has been set aside to pay tribute to our Fathers. But for many Father's Day has become a game of hide and seek! Today we've got deadbeat dads and fugitive fathers! According to a recent Gallup poll on fatherhood nearly 80% that responded said that the most...
America, Still Afloat, But Adrift!
by David Cawston
America was birthed by a group of dedicated people that fought storms, hardship and opposition to create a land that would provide liberty, opportunity and freedom for all. Patrick Henry "Give me liberty or give me death" "We understand certain truths to be self evident that all men are created equal and are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. The right of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Preamble to the Bill of rights. But there were some basic characteristics that these people possessed that contexualized their writings and life. These characteristics were based upon their strong...
