But let us, who are of the day, be sober,
putting on the breastplate of faith and love;
and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
1 Thessalonians 5:8

1 Thessalonians 5:8
What occurred on September 11, 2001, was a devastating and horrific tragedy...
Teams of terrorists launched a series of crushing blows upon the United States of America. But those who know the Lord have the "hope of salvation" birthed in our hearts by the Word of God. It's a hope which cannot be extinguished, not even when a disciple of Jesus Christ experiences pain, suffering or loss.
And there are men in this prison who are unknown to society, who are fervently praying for a spiritual awakening to come to our nation. Of course, many are oblivious to this. It's hard for them to conceive of convicted felons praying for America. But this is indeed the case. I see it first-hand when we gather for prayer inside the prison's chapel. I see their tears and I hear their cries.
Thus, while men like myself remain hidden from the world, we're not hidden from the Lord. And we shall continue to believe by faith for things not yet seen, but hoped for, nonetheless.
