Remembering 9/11

Just a few days ago we marked the 6th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentegon. It seems like only yesterday we were all huddled around the closest tv, watching the tragedy unfold second by second. We all felt the emotional blow and feared the implications of that event upon our immediate and distant futures. The nation, almost immediately, realized its need for God. The President of the United States, senators, congressmen, governors, mayors, news anchors and reporters were all heard calling the nation to prayer and a new found trust in God. I believe that through this terrible event, the church was faced with its greatest opportunity to reach people. I fear, however, that we may not have fully seized the opportunity. Despite our noble attempts to present Christ in the midst of devastation, the nation's new found need for God was short lived. Six years later, the name of Jesus is more offensive to society than ever before. Modern day persecution has not come in the form of barbaric acts of punishment, but in unholy vendettas, verbal attacks and acts of legislation lobbied by the Godless. What must the United State of America, the world, face to bring us to our knees again before the Lord? Will it take another tragedy for America to acknowledge its need for God once and for all? Remember 9/11. Not just in terms of what happened in New York and Washington, but what happened in every home, every church, every street corner, every school, every place of business on that day. People prayed!
