The Amercian Soldier!

Contributed by Bradford Robinson on Sep 15, 2004

This sermon was preached at a service in honor of Todd Cherry, a young member of our church who was being sent to Iraq. It looks at what being a hero and a patriot means.

We throw around the term hero far to often these days. If a man can outrun a defender to score a touchdown, or if a person can slam dunk the ball we call them a hero. If a person can get on the big screen and pretend to do something great, we call them a hero. We have so belittled the term that ...read more

Saddam Dances To God's Tune

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Feb 16, 2003

Just like another Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar, Saddam Hussein has to do God’s will, like it or not.

If you’ve been paying attention to the news for the last few weeks, you’ve probably concluded, as I have, that we are marching inexorably toward an imminent war in Iraq, regardless of what the U.N. may do.
