Get in the Fight

We are remembering the 65th anniversary of D Day and the terrible sacrifices made by many men, by watching "Saving Private Ryan". This is a very real to life movie that depicts so much of how we are to be. In one of the last scenes, the young man who is new to the group and to combat, seems to be running around with shells on his neck and a gun in his hand and yet he does nothing to help his fellow soldiers. In fact, when they call on him for help, he hides in the hallway and does nothing as they are being murdered. This brought to mind many of our Christian brothers and sisters who do absolutely the same thing. There are those that are standing and fighting, loosing their lives and all they hold dear, and there are those Christians that are running around with guns and ammunition and do absolutely nothing to help. Brothers and Sisters we are in a war for the life of our country, our family, and the kingdom. It is not time to stop and lick our wounds or hide in the hallways. It is time to get up and to fight!
