Our nation is blessed in so many ways, and on Memorial Day, we remember the blessings that have come through sacrifice, protecting us from oppression and giving us freedom.
When the phone rings at 2:45 a.m., you know it’s something momentous. When you’re chaplain of your local police department, you know it’s bad news.
The Sunday before Veterans Day is an opportunity to honor the veterans in our churches. If you are looking for an appropriate video to add to your service, consider this one.
On this Patriot Day may we go to our knees to beseech God for His mercy, healing, and salvation of our land.
The PrimeTimers of Bible Baptist Church, Kokomo, Ind., express their gratitude and God’s love to the civil servants who help keep the community safe.
