Walking through the cemetery this weekend, I noticed the many flags on the graves. These were for those who served in the military. I stopped at one grave. One inscription caught my eye; “Died in Action.” A good friend of mine once told me that he was going to leave skid marks into the grave.
Joel 3:10b I must begin by recognizing that the song, “Let The Weak Say I Am Strong,” taken from Joel 3:10, has become a popular song. I am writing about this only from my experience sitting in church when this is sung. Even though I understand what Joel is saying, and can see this song

Jeremiah 8:20 Jesus came to seek and to save the lost (Mt.18:11). In Matthew 18 he talks about only one sheep out of a hundred being lost. The owner of the sheep leaves the 99 and looks for the lost one. This is only natural. Any farmer will look for a lost sheep, or cow.

“…Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”—Matthew 4:19b In these powerful words we have the heart of Christianity. These ten words show how Jesus was planning to build His kingdom. When He spoke these words He had already begun His preaching ministry. The thrust of His message was, “Repent.” The kingdom of
