1. 9/11 These attacks were the culmination of years of planning, spying, failures, and then success. Satan acts in very much the same way! Job 1:7, 2:2; I Peter 5:8 Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13 No, Satan does not always win (Jas. 4:7; I Cor. 10:13), but he keeps trying. In spite of Satan, godly people still stand! Revelation 20:10

2. 9/11 Remember Who You Are You are a Christian, a child of the King! (I Pet. 2:9; Rev. 1:6) You were bought with a price (I Cor. 6:20; I Pet. 1:18-19). Therefore: Act like it!! (Eph. 5:1-4) How do you respond when things don’t go “your way”? Hebrews 13:5-6

3. 9/11 Remember Who Is In Charge Not us! We cannot control anything except our thoughts, words, and deeds! God is in charge!! (Dan. 4:25, 34-35, 5:21; Isa. 40:15, 17) Regardless of what happens, God’s people will survive and thrive!! (Ps. 37:25; Matt. 6:33; II Tim. 2:19)

4. 9/11 No Nation Is Eternal Proverbs 14:34 – Greatness is determined by our relationship to God!! This was expressed by God in Old Testament days (Deut. 27-28, esp. 28:7, 25; Isaiah 1:19- 20). It is still true today!

5. 9/11 Evil Needs A “Willing Servant” You don’t need to blow up a building or kill people in order to be a willing servant of evil... Deuteronomy 13:6-18 Deuteronomy 13:6-18 Diotrephes (III Jn. 9-11) Diotrephes (III Jn. 9-11) Elymas (Acts 13:6-13) Elymas (Acts 13:6-13) Elders in apostasy (Acts 20:29-30) Elders in apostasy (Acts 20:29-30) What about us? (I Pet. 5:8; II Pet. 1:5-9; I Cor. 10:12)

6. 9/11 Goodness Needs A “Willing Servant” Join the ranks of … Demetrius (III Jn. 12) Demetrius (III Jn. 12) Phoebe (Rom. 16:1-2) Phoebe (Rom. 16:1-2) Priscilla and Aquila (Rom.13:3-5) Priscilla and Aquila (Rom.13:3-5) No, NONE of these were sinless, but they were FORGIVEN!!

7. “What Must I Do To Be Saved?” Hear The Gospel (Rom. 10:17) Believe In Christ (Jn. 8:24) Repent Of Sins (Lk.13:3) Confess Christ (Rom. 10:10) Be Baptized (I Pet. 3:21) For The Erring Child: Repent (Acts 8:22), Confess (I Jn. 1:9), Pray (Acts 8:22)
