My prayers go out to all the
victim’s, the heroic first responders and the families of those that lost their
lives or were traumatically injured on this date 2001.

Corinthians 4:7-11
But we have
this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of
God, and not of us.
8
We are
troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in
despair;
9
Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not
destroyed;
10
Always
bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of
Jesus might be made manifest in our
body.
11
For we
which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also
of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal
flesh.

As we remember the attacks on
our nation on September 11, 2001, both the Twin Towers and the Pentagon and the
desire to attack our Nation’s Capital may we remember the grace of God this
nation has enjoyed.
May we also remember the
millions of fellow Christians that are enduring persecution, loss of property,
family and life that is still occurring all over the world. May God continue to send His Holy Spirit to
comfort and guide them in their tribulations.
Americans are not alone in our
trials; as Christians we are not being singled out for our believes over other
countries – many of our brothers and sisters in Christ are enduring and
overcoming far worse treatment.
While we must never forget those
that lost their lives in this terrorist attack, may we also remember that
dozens, even hundreds, of Christians are losing their lives every day because
they refuse to compromise their stand for Christ.
Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord
Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our
body.
We
share Christ, let us also share the burden for these Christians. They live with the real threat of torture and
death every day, yet they remain steadfast in the service of our Lord.
Galatians 6:1-3 Brethren, if a man
be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the
spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be
tempted.
2 Bear ye one another's
burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
3 For if a man think
himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth
himself.
