Everything from parental disrespect, to chaos in the schools, to mass shootings, can be laid at the feet of one missing truth in our society:  Accountability to God, our Creator.  And yet, I seldom hear a sermon from the passages in the Bible which teach that we will face God as our Judge of what we’ve done with this life.  Yet the Bible is so clear about it!

Though just volunteer farmers, they had stood up to the British army, the greatest in the world, with dogged determination. Even now, as they struggled into their winter camp, their sacrifice was evident. Many had clothes which hung in threads, exposing their naked bodies to the cold. Washington recorded how one could trace their steps by the path of blood left by many who had no shoes of any sort.

Their love of liberty meant more than any physical hardship they were experiencing.

And in answer to prayer, God sent a man all the way from Prussia who would Continue reading →
