On Memorial Day we remember those who answered the call to serve our country and gave their lives. As Christians we are called to answer the call of Christ and to give our lives for the sake of the gospel. We are equipped for our service by the Holy Spirit who leads us into all truth so that we will always be ready to make our defense to anyone who demands from us an accounting for the hope that we have in us. As we honor those who gave their lives in service to their country we honor Christ Jesus by rededicating ourselves to his service and committing ourselves to be his witnesses.
