September 11, 2001 Brought Our Nation Together in Unity
We can see in our national headlines the power of unity to fulfill a common goal. Each of us will never forget what happened September 11, 2001. Out of that terrible day we saw our nation join together in unity. President George W. Bush had the support of the nation as he led the nation into the war against the terrorists who murdered so many innocent Americans. But it didn’t take long for people to start pointing fingers. What did our president know before the attacks? What could the government have done to prevent the terrorist attacks? The unity that was born through terror soon unraveled. We forgot who our enemy is. The same happens within the church. We can so easily begin to point fingers at other “sheep;” we become critical of the “shepherd.” All the while we forget that we have a common enemy outside the walls of the church. Satan seeks to “steal, kill, and destroy”. Let’s not forget who the enemy is. (D. Greg Ebie - Sermon Central)
