LISTEN NOW! Greg, John and Pat discuss the horrific attack on our nation on September 11, 2001 when terrorists hijacked commercial airplanes and rammed them into the World Trade Center Towers causing the planes to crash down killing 2996 people and causing thousands to be injured. They continue to discuss how just 12 months ago today on September 11 we had an attack on our embassy in Benghazi Libya resulting in the deaths of our Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three marines. What led up to this? The enemy for a long time has tried to take our country down. In recent times and related to the World Trade Center there was an earlier attack by Muslim extremists on the World Trade Center during President Clinton’s administration. Just a little over a year ago the present administration with the help of former Secretary Hilary Clinton have allegedly been involved in taking down dictators and rulers in the Middle East. This was apparent when then Secretary of State, when speaking of Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi when she said not realizing she was being recorded “We came, We saw, He died.” They continued to discuss that right after the attacks on 9-11-2001 America for a brief moment was humbled and many began looking to God however that lasted for a very short time and not only has America gone back but it went back seven times further than where it was at the time of the attack. Now America finds herself at the center of the Syrian conflict all the while America’s secrets are being shared with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Much of what is happening in Syria today involves oil. Many would say that life is in the oil but all Christians know that life is only found in the blood of Christ. On this anniversary of 9/11 we mustn’t forget how we got here and how we can find our way out. Amongst the rubble, debris, and crushed steel one of workers found a twenty foot cross in a pit of rubble. This cross which was sovereignly melted together and was a sign for us all to know for America and for us as individuals that our only hope out of the tragic place we find ourselves is in Jesus. What Jesus did on the cross over 2,000 years ago has given us all as individuals hope because we have been redeemed, all we must do is turn away from sin, and turn our hearts back to God and accept his Son Jesus into our hearts. America can make it but only if she turns back to God.
