T he Israelites won their battle, not only that day but all the battles God commanded them to fight.   And you too will win, the Word says: “. . . the Lord your God is He who fights for you, as He promised you.   Therefore take careful heed to yourselves, that you love the Lord your God.”    What a comfort it is to KNOW that He is fighting for you.   That not only has He given you weapons for your warfare that are not of this world...

Even though their service is for two years they make a lifetime commitment. I also saw the eternal flame and temporary gravesite that was put in place for President Kennedy’s state funeral just three days after his assassination. I did not know there were two Kennedy infants interred there as well. I was only a teenage...
