Agreed. There are many military families in my church. We commemorate Memorial Day, Veteran's Day, and the Fourth of July without necessarily building the whole service around it. When I lived in the Philippines I'm sure some churches had the national flag in the sanctuary. This didn't bother me at all.
@lukedsimmons Meet with him and discuss ways to commemorate it next year. If you don't want a physical flag in the church you could have a slide of one flying while you commemorate it next year. You can honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice without building the whole service around it.
Steven Bartlett, host of the podcast, The Diary of a CEO, released an interview with Christian apologist, John Lennox, this week, and his closing comments to him were fascinating:
"One of the most compelling arguments for God that you've presented (and your way of seeing the world and being) is not actually necessarily anything you've written in your books or not not necessarily anything you've said. It is actually you.
You have a certain peace and contentment that I rarely see in people that I interview, but I often see, and I've almost always seen, in the Christians that I've interviewed, and this is a interesting phenomenon for me...it seems to be a trend that a lot of the Christian apologists that I've interviewed have that anchoring that so many of us are looking for."
What a great witness.

“The Bible as a whole speaks of marriage as God’s plan for companionship, sexual fulfilment, and building families (Genesis 2:24; Proverbs 18:22, etc.). Jesus said it is rare for someone with normal biological desires to be able to commit to a lifetime of singleness (Matthew 19:11-12). For these and other reasons, we should consider the desire to marry the norm and nothing to feel guilty over. Generally speaking, we should encourage Christian singles to pursue marriage.”

A member of Reformation Church submitted this video to his employer’s “What PRIDE means to me” campaign. Corporate wanted public clips to signal support for LGBTQ. After his submission, the whole program vanished. Videos pulled. Prizes canceled. No reply.
That is Christian witness. Christ is King!
I recently toured the Capitol with @SpeakerJohnson & he shared a fascinating look at John Quincy Adams’ legacy. If you’ve ever felt like your work or mission as a Christian is in vain, watch this.
