The Ultimate Sacrifice!!!

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. - - Philippians 2:3-16


On this Memorial day 2009 let us take a look not only at the sacrifice of those who have helped preserve our nation and the freedoms we experience, but also unto Jesus Christ the author and finisher of our Faith. Men and Women in our country have taken on the needs of others to protect our nation.

Take a hold of the WORD of LIFE and work out your salvation. In the nation of America, we need to stand and raise the WORD of LIFE held high for all to see that OUR GOD Reigns. The sacrifices of the men and women who have fought for our nation have been built on the principles of the WORD.

How much more should we honor the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob daily with our life as the Kingdom we are called to be a part of is without end. ETERNITY reigning with the KING of Kings and Lord of Lords.

God promises us that at the name of Jesus everyone will confess and bow down. Hold fast to the profession of your faith during the hour that we live in. Don't live your life in vain. Give honor and glory to whom it is due. Walk in a way that leads you to Life and Life more abundant.
