Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day!

As we gather with family and friends this Memorial Day, let us take a moment to remember and honor the brave men and women who have sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Their courage and selflessness reflect the greatest love, as Jesus said, "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends" (John 15:13).

This day is not just about barbecues and parades; it’s about paying tribute to those who gave everything for us. It’s a time to reflect on the blessings we enjoy because of their sacrifices. As Christians, we can draw parallels between their sacrifice and the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made for us on the cross. Both acts of love and courage give us the gift of freedom—one in our country and the other in our eternal life. 

Let us also remember the families of those who have lost loved ones in service. Their pain and sacrifice are immeasurable. 

We also need to continue to intercede for our nation as we are in a tremendous spiritual battle. Let's boldy share the Gospel and win souls for Christ by demonstrating true 'agape' love to those who are lost. 

God bless you, and may God bless America, 

Joseph and the amazing Crossroads team
