The September 11 attacks (also referred to as September 11, September 11th, or 9/11) were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda on the United States on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001. The attacks consisted of suicide attacks used to target symbolic U.S. landmarks. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
The title of Alan Jackson's Song "Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning?)" directs us to remember what happened on this horrific day. I hope that we will stop and say a prayer for the families who lost loved ones that day, and ask God to be with our nation, as we face the reality and challenges of terrorism. "O Lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted; you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more." (Psalm 10:17-18)
As Christians, (in light of this day of showing tribute to those who gave their lives on 9/11) let us diligently give our lives, to sharing about Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace; so that our nation and the world will no longer be a place of fear, but a place of peace. GP
