GOOD MILITARY MONDAY TO AMY’S PLACE!



The Soldier’s Code

1) I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

2) I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender my men while they still have the means to resist.

3) If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

4) If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me, and will back them up in every way.

5) When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am bound to give only name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies, or harmful to their cause.

6) I will never forget that I am an American fighting man, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower, August, 1955.

excerpt ...

Are you doing all that you know God wants you to do? As you read God’s Word, put what you’ve learned into practice. First hear—then do. God’s blessing comes as a result of our obedience (v.25).

We need to hear the Word of God
To know what we should do,
But listening is not enough
Without our follow-through. —Sper

The value of the Bible does not consist merely in knowing it, but in obeying it.
_________________________________________________________

We owe it ALL to YOU LORD,
We owe it ALL to You,
Every thing we are
everything we do,
Lest we should drift away ...
Let's keep our eyes on YOU,

LORD GOD ALMIGHTY is GOOD

It is God who draws men to HIMSELF.

John 6:44-45 (King James Version)

"44.No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

45.It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me."”
___________________________________________________________

Hebrews 10:37-39 (King James Version)

“37.For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

38.Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

39.But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul."”
_________________________________________________________
James 4:8 (King James Version)

“8.Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.”
___________________________________________________________

Father God, help us in our day, to keep upon the path You have for us, in Jesus name, amen.
