Have We Forgotten 9/11? How Today’s Events Reveal a Society That Has
Description
“September 11th, 2001… a day I will never forget. I remember where I was, what I saw, and the conversations I had. Nearly 3,000 lives ended that day—343 firefighters, 37 Port Authority police officers, 23 NYPD, and so many more since.
But I also remember what happened on September 12. The skies were quiet, but the prayers were loud. We were hurting, but we were united. We turned to God, to His Word, and to each other.
Today, almost 25 years later, we’ve drifted. Instead of uniting, we’re divided. In just the past week—we’ve seen senseless violence, the murder of Iryna Zarutska, a school shooting in Colorado, tragedy at the Naval Academy, and the loss of a voice for Christ, Charlie Kirk. The same enemy that attacked us then—Satan and his forces—is still attacking us now.
This episode is a call to remember. To remember how we felt on September 12. To remember that we are at war—not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of darkness. To repent, to unite, and to rise with courage in Christ.
Because if not you, then who? And if not now… when?
