Cost Of ...

Cost of Freedom
At Hebron Baptist Church several years ago a speaker named Clebe McClary spoke. There was a patch where his left eye had once been. A hook extended from the artificial limb where a strong arm had once helped make him an outstanding athlete. He had been through countless surgeries to repair facial damage. At the age of 26, Clebe McClary left his coaching career to enlist in the US Marine Corps. While leading his 19th “recon” through the jungles of Vietnam Clebe and his 12 men were attacked. Two gave their lives, four others were severely wounded. McClary was miraculously lifted to safety by helicopter. A plaque given to Lt. McClary read, “In this world of give and take, there are all too few who are willing to give what it takes.” Freedom always has a price and freedom has always been bought with blood. (Larry Wynn)

Standing In The Gap Series
Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 4, 2016
The first 3 chapters of Revelation have often been seen as separate from the rest of the book. But that doesn't make any sense. Why would Jesus spend 3 chapters on local churches who were not part of the rest of the story?
