Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
John 15:13, ESV
God set the example. Jesus called us friends if we follow Him, and that means sacrifice and pointing people to the truth of our need for salvation.
I have known some mothers like that mentioned here in my time. Having not served myself, but knowing many who have, I have seen the other side discussed here. I have sat with soldiers/vets who have lost friends, and with mothers, brothers, and sisters, who have lost family. It is nice to see a veteran who thinks of those back home. (Even if it takes a little while. 😉 ) Too many people do not think about any of this at all, even on Memorial Day.
Daniel
For Americans today is Memorial Day. Its a national holiday where America have the day off to remember those who served in the military that have died in the line of duty. Some of you guys know that I was at one time an American Marine.

Physical Reality Breaks through the FogRoss jumps headfirst into both the sweeping generalization fallacy and the strawman fallacy to open ch 18
Many young-creationist leaders declare that their view is reality and that virtually all of what has been discovered in the hard sciences is not what scientists think it is. This apparent antiscience position obscures physical reality in a dense fog
You will notice how Ross equivocates (again) the modern academic paradigm (MAP) with “hard science” and how the MAP is authoritative for him and his ilk.
Virtually all of what has been discovered” ?!?!?!? Ross literally said that biblical creationists have ignored virtually all of what has been discovered. Ross has virtually ignored all of what God has revealed in his word about the global flood, what Jesus said in Mark 10:6, and what Moses etched in stone from the voice of the Almighty in Exodus 20…

For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Hebrews 12:11, ESV
God allows and even ordains difficult and evil things to come our way. Sometimes to discipline us when we are wayward in our walk.
Always to grow us more into the image of His Son.
