While deployed in Afghanistan, Sgt. Guinta earned the first Medal of Honor awarded since the Vietnam War for sacrificing his safety to rescue fellow soldiers. It was during an enemy ambush that Sgt. Guinta raced forward pulling his fellow soldier who was wounded out of the hand of the Taliban fighters. Although his actions rescued two soldiers, one of the soldiers being rescued and six others lost their lives fighting for our country and freedom.
Allow me to take a moment to honor those who lost their lives:
Sgt. Josh Brennan, Pfc. Juan Restrepo, Pfc. Timothy Vimoto, Staff Sgt. Larry Rougle, Sgt. First Class Matthew Blaskowski, Spc. Hugo Mendoza and HM3 Mark Cannon.
So what does this have to do with Game Time?
Yesterday we talked about the Difficulty and Sacrifice required for Game Time at Fellowship Church. As I shared we talked about the people who have come to Christ because of the ministry God has given us. Anna Alexander, Jennifer Skipper, Christi Wills, Devon Sullivan, Rachel Busic and approximately 200 over the last few years. Without the sacrifice and difficulty some of them may have never known the love of Christ.
In the coming months God has challenged us to do things we have never done, to attempt to reach more people for Christ, to see the landscape of Habersham County change forever. It will require sacrifice from every member and it will be difficult, but I am confident that what God has called you to do, He will provide for you to do.
Remember:
- God sized Dreams will come with Difficulty and Sacrifice –
- What you believe about God, your faith, will be revealed in what you are willing sacrifice for him
- Knowing God, will give you assurance that whatever He ask of you cannot conflict with what He promises you –
- Sacrifice is not really loosing something, it’s gaining something
