War on this Remembrance Day!holy spirit, faith, mercy, wisdom, salvation, truth, war, Jesus Christ, thank God, Remembrance Day, the Word of god, politicians, progress, halfway home, Wednesday Wail, a time of war, a time of peace, to a glorious future with Jesus, take heed that no man deceive you, many shall come in my name, be not troubled, the end is not yet, absolutely nothing, hands on the plough, eyes fixed straight ahead, not looking back, faithful and true, In Flanders Fields, John McCrae, the poppies blow, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, row on row, we shall not sleep, mark our place, in the sky, we are the dead, we lived, we throw the torch, nation shall not lift up sword against nation, all these things must come to pass, famines and pestilences and earthquakes, lust for dictatorial power, the breath of life is still flowing through me, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, between the crosses, scarce heard amid the guns below, take up our quarrel with the foe, be yours to hold it high, though poppies grow in Flanders fields, neither shall they learn war anymore, short days ago, loved and were loved, our wonderful position in Christ Jesus, endure to the end with Christ, honouring militayr personnel killed in conflict, peacekeeping missions, fighting for freedom, fighting for democracy, freedom is never free, continually fight for freedom, respect your democratic freedom, the far right, the far left, blatantly seeking power, unprincipled leaders, powerbrokers, say one thing then do another, futile promises, a poignant war poem, sacrifice of soldiers in World War 1, the red poppies growing over the soldiers graves, transformed a natural image, an enduring symbol of remembrance, the larks still bravely singing fly, now we lie in Flanders fields, to you from fallings hands, break the faith with us who die, a touching but controversial poem, a warmongering effort, letting down those who died in the war, their deaths would be in vain, war what is it good for, warmongering tendencies, hear of wars and rumurs of wars, strife is prominent all over our world, nation will rise against nation, the beginning of sorrow, strife is being felt worldwide, the fall out from strife, eyes as a flame of fire, many crowns on his head, in righteousness judging and making war, clothed in a robe dipped in blood, in his mouth a sharp sword, the armies of heaven, to smite the nations, rule them with a rod of iron, a glorious future we cannot comprehendhttps://randyobrien50.com/2026/11/10/the-overwhelming-importance-of-christians-not-behaving-like-the-world-but-as-god-desires/SCRIP-BITSen2026-11-10T20:22:37+00:00The Overwhelming Importance
