So Much To Remember! - Memorial Day
B. (Rev 3:3) Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
VII. WE ARE TO REMEMBER OUR PARENTS.
(Eph 6:1) Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
A. Why So Many Teenage Tragedies? They have broken this commandment.
B. (Psa 71:9) Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
VIII. WE ARE TO REMEMBER OUR SOLDIERS AND HEROES.
My dad taught me that a person in a military uniform was a hero, and I still honor that today.
The Jewish soldiers were honored as they returned from battle. “David has slain his 10,000’s.”
When protestors begin to speak out against our military I think to myself, they need to see some blood spilled – theirs! I can’t stand to see people make light of those who have fought for our country.
We should make much of our war heroes before our children.
We should remember how our country began, and what makes America great, lest we lose it!
I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against
anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to America.
In fact, our country’s population is almost entirely comprised of
descendants of immigrants; however, there are a few things that
those who have recently come to our country need to understand.
First of all, it is not our responsibility to continually try
not to offend you in any way. This idea of America being a
multi-cultural community has served only to dilute our
sovereignty and our national identity. As Americans, we have
our own culture, our own society, our own language, and our
own lifestyle. This culture, called the "American Way" has been
developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by
millions of men and women who have sought freedom. So many
fought, bled, and died at places like Bunker Hill, San
Juan, Iwo Jima, Normandy, Korea, Vietnam, and other places.
We speak English, not Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese,
Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to
become part of our society - learn our language!
"In God We Trust" is our national motto.
This is not some off-the-wall, Christian, Right Wing, political
slogan – it is our national motto. It is engraved in stone in the
House of Representatives in our Capitol and it is printed on our
currency. We adopted this motto because Christian men and
women, on Christian principles, founded this nation; and
this is clearly documented throughout our history. If it is
appropriate for our motto to be inscribed in the halls of our
highest level of Government, then it is certainly appropriate
to display it on the walls of our schools.
God is in our pledge, our National Anthem, nearly every
patriotic song, and in our founding documents. We honor His
birth, death, and resurrection as

The best part I enjoyed is the American Memorial Day which Pastor Jerry expressed so passionately. However, I don''t think immigrants are all the problem. I came into this country 12 years ago and bit my tongue those early years at the spate of court cases by the ACLU against everything GOD, everything you listed in that area of the sermon. Alas, the courts were upholding those ridiculous anti-God cases. I think there are more groups within than immigrants when it comes to working against the wishes of the founding fathers of this great nation. Yet, I still give you all 5 stars for your intensive study and for sharing.

I would have to partially disagree with Bro. Back. I would agree with him if HE KNOWS Bro. Jerry''s congregation and it is applicable. I would disagree with him if he does not know the congregation. Hopefully (I beleive it is so) Bro. is developing these messages to meet the needs of whom he is preaching to using the scripture and Holy Spirit as the foundation. Based on that premise, the purpose is not to impress us but rather to obey God and preach a message that is needed. One of the greatest preachers of our denomination, one time, told me "Only 50% of church members in a typical Baptist Church are saved." He furthere stated that of those who never come except to Hatch, Match, and Dispatch about 90% are unsaved. Those whom are regular at at 90%. May God richly bless you Brother Jerry.

Thanks Pastor Jerry: I liked the sermon but I think you were preaching to the Choir a little bit. We all do sometimes. When it comes to Old Paths it time to come out hiding behind the pulpits and preach not worring about our members. Easily said but not so easily done.
