Note: 9-11
On September 11,
2001, 19 militants associated with the religious extremist group al-Qaeda
hijacked four airliners and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the
United States. Two of the planes were flown into the towers of the World Trade
Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside
Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania.
Often referred to as 9/11, the attacks resulted in extensive death and
destruction, triggering major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism ... Over
3,000 people were killed during the attacks in New York City and Washington,
D.C., including more than 400 police officers and firefighters. (Source: http://www.history.com/topics/9-11-attacks)
Today
marks the 15th anniversary of nine-eleven. We mourn with those who
lost friends and loved ones that day and for all those who have given their all
in the War on Terrorism since. May God bless these families and each precious
memory and may God bless America. Let’s Pray …
Believing
is Work
Gtcotr/ss091116
John 6 NKJV
28 Then they said to Him,
"What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?"
29 Jesus answered and said to
them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He
sent."
Believing
is work – it is the work of God. Perhaps the greatest work we must do … it is
at least our first work. Believing is work so we need to work on believing …
There
is a seed in every Word of God designed and empowered by God to create faith.
Romans 10:10 tells us that faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Therefore
the more we hear the Word of God the more potential we have to believe!
