The start of summer – barbecues, beaches, fun outdoors! Do any of us take time this weekend to remember the purpose of Memorial Day – to honor the men and women who served and died in our name in conflicts throughout the world?
Día de los Caídos. Es el comienzo del verano – ¡barbacoas, playas, y diversión al aire libre! Pero deberíamos recordar la razón para este feriado – para honorar los hombres y las mujeres que sirvieron y murieron en nuestro nombre en conflictos en todo el mundo.
Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope… A simple admonition but one that is hard to live! Sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts.
Veneren en sus corazones a Cristo, el Señor, dispuestos siempre a dar…las razones de la esperanza de ustedes. ¡Esta es una declaración simple, pero uno que es difícil vivir!
You are ‘a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may announce the praises’ of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
La Gloria que Es Nuestra – Ahora y Para Siempre Ustedes…son estirpe elegida, sacerdocio real, nación consagrada a Dios y pueblo de su propiedad, para que proclamen las obras maravillosas de aquel que los llamó de las tinieblas a su luz admirable.
For you had gone astray like sheep, but you have now returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls. Do we realize that in our recognition of our sinfulness we can experience the joy of being received once more into the tender care of our loving shepherd?
