Veterans Day 2026

 

~ Most Freedom is Temporary ~

 

Political Freedom ~ Political freedom is always temporary! World history is clear that political freedom has to be secured over and over in order to remain. Bondage is only one generation away. A huge Thank You to all our military veterans – many who gave their lives so that we could continue to live free.

 

Grimm Reality ~ The moment you were born you were terminal!  Put another way: We all end up dead – it's just a question of how, why, and most importantly when. You, regardless of age, have already outlived some others.

 

Permanent Freedom ~ Permanent freedom is only found in Jesus Christ. If the Son of God – Jesus Christ – sets you free, you will be free indeed forever (cf. John 8:36).

 

“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, ‘Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.’ For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For ‘everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved’.” (Romans 10:9-3 ESV).

Veterans Day 2022

 ~ Honor Those Who’ve Gone Before ~

 

Introduction ~ The Christian is a soldier in the greatest army which ever existed. 

 

“You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.  No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier” (2 Timothy 2:3-4). 

 

Honor Our Veterans ~ “And what more shall I say?  For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets: who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. Women received their dead raised to life again.

 

“Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.  Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and imprisonment.  They were stoned, they were sawn in two, were tempted, were slain with the sword.  They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented — of whom the world was not worthy.  They wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth.

 

“And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us” (Hebrews 11:32-40).

 

Our Responsibility ~ “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the Cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:1-2).

 

Reminder ~ “No one is discharged in time of war” (Ecclesiastes 8:8b niv).
