                    Its like this story of a frightened soldier who was running from sniper bullets.
He dove into a bunker thinking that he was alone.
To his surprise another soldier crawled into the bunker as well.
The second soldier happened to be wearing a cross around his neck.

                    ILLUSTRATION from “Stories from the Heart”
It was a few weeks before Christmas 1917. The beautiful snowy landscapes of Europe were blackened by war.
The trenches on one side held the Germans and on the other side the trenches were filled with Americans. It was World War I. The exchange of

"Weika Coenraad, of Dahlonega, Georgia, was a little girl in Holland during the War, and has vivid memories of the American soldiers who liberated her town in 1945.  She’s now an American citizen.  [She writes:]

                    Here in the South, there are memorials in most towns to the bloodiest war fought on American soil – the Civil War.  Over 600,000 died in that conflict.  What is often not known is that both the North and the South allowed “substitute soldiers.”  A man drafted for military service could literally

                    THE CROSS
The Son sets us free by becoming a curse for us and thereby removing the curse from us, by taking all our guilt on Himself thereby clearing us of guilt, and by "binding the Strongman" through His death, thereby setting us free from Satan's kingdom. Oh, what a cross!
