Most of you know that I oppose violence and do not believe it is part of the kingdom of God. But I would like to share something that does come from my heart. I recognize courage in others even when they may not agree with my views. The passengers on United flight 93, and the responders in Manhattan on 9/11, are heroes and showed soaring courage in the face of life threatening circumstances. Many people owe them a debt of gratitude as well as their very lives.
I am always moved when I hear the many accounts of bravery and courage of those men and women. We as believers must never become so insulated that we cannot give praise when praise is due.
Amen
