    Armed Forces Day is time set aside to recognize members of the Armed Forces that are currently serving. I would propose to you that we can and should show appreciation for those who are presently serving in the Armed Forces.

    Title: Appropriate Praise Theme: Biblically Supporting Our Armed Forces The Bible says, "No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength.

    You are saved to serve and not to be served. Your occupation is to win souls to God's kingdom. God expects to make 'profit' from your salvation. You are a fruit bearing tree planted by God.

    Psalm 27 is a Psalm David wrote that reflected the kind of man that he was and the kind of God that he served. What can we learn from this Psalm about being a man or woman who serves our God?

    David wrote the 27th Psalm - and it’s a Psalm about how to face conflicts in life. It’s a Psalm about relying on God. A Psalm of HOPE. A Psalm of FAITH.
