5 Memorial Day The last Monday of May in America is designated for the remembrance of over one million people who have died to defend the freedoms of this great land. The United States flag is flown at half-staff from sunrise until noon in honor of those who have died. But at noon the flag s position is supposed to be changed. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the flag is to be briskly raised to the top of the staff at noon as a statement by the living that we will not let their sacrifice be in vain. It symbolically declares that those who have benefited from their deaths will rise up to continue their fight for true liberty and justice. This simple posturing of the flag on Memorial Day is not commonly known, and seldom practiced, literally or figuratively. Many of us have never marched into battle with weaponry to defend liberty but we are nonetheless called to fight for what is right. I stand in awe of those who courageously fought in foreign lands and wonder how I would have faired in such adversity. My experience will never match theirs, yet I am called to fight. Rather than boot camps and tour of duty overseas, the calling for us today will be found in pulpits, boardrooms, school board meetings, City Hall, Capital Hill, conversations among peers and with younger generations, offices of newspaper editors, and most of all, prayer rooms. Failure to stand up today and fight against the implosion of spiritual apathy and immoral degeneration is the equivalence of treason. On May 15, 2014, President Obama participated in the dedication service of the new National September 11 Memorial Museum in New York City. He stated, No act of terror can match the strength or character of our country. Like the great wall and bedrock that embrace us today, nothing can ever break us. Understandably his remarks were in the context of our response to 9/11, but his final words seemed like a chilling echo of what was said about the Titanic, Not even God himself could sink this ship. The brazen arrogance against God we now see in America is exponentially worse than any threat of terrorism. Unless we experience a spiritual awakening among God s people, we will most likely see the collapse of a nation whose greatest enemies were her citizens who insisted on living in open defiance of Almighty God. In 1984, Ronald Reagan declared, You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. Rather than sentence our children to darkness, let s resolutely raise the flag from half-staff to full mast and fight for full surrender to Christ. U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs; Denison Forum on Truth and Culture, 5/27/13; Beaumont Enterprise, 5/16/14, p.10a We will continue our Sunday night series this evening, Seeking Answers to Tough Questions. The question tonight is How can we determine whether a particular activity is right or wrong? Thank you for allowing me to serve such a loving church. Please call should you ever need me for anything. Bro. Larry
