D-Day Remembrance: Why June 6, 1944 Still Demands Our Attention in 2026

As we approach another anniversary of D-Day — June 6, 1944 — the beaches of Normandy call to us across the decades. On that fateful morning, thousands of young men stormed into hellish fire, determined to break the back of Nazi tyranny. Many never left those blood-soaked sands. They gave their lives so that others might live in freedom.

For those of us who hold fast to the old paths, who believe the Bible from cover to cover and reject the spirit of this age, this is far more than a history lesson. It is a solemn spiritual summons.


Scripture Commands Remembrance


The God of the Bible is a God who repeatedly calls His people to remember. After crossing the Jordan, Joshua commanded twelve stones be set up as a memorial “that all the peoples of the earth might know the hand of the Lord is mighty” (Joshua 4:24). The Passover, the Lord’s Supper — these are divine institutions of remembrance. Deuteronomy warns sharply: “Beware lest you forget the Lord your God” (Deuteronomy 6:12). When God’s people forget His mighty acts and the cost of deliverance, they quickly slide into idolatry and bondage.


The same principle applies to the great deliverances God has granted in history. D-Day was one such moment. The Allied forces faced an entrenched evil empire committed to pagan totalitarianism. Brave men — many of them raised in Christian homes — counted the cost, fixed their eyes on the objective, and advanced under withering fire. Their sacrifice echoes the words of our Savior: “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13).


Why It Matters Just as Much Today


Some may ask, “Why dredge up old battles in 2026?” Because the spirit of tyranny never dies — it only changes uniforms. The same forces that sought to crush freedom under the swastika now assault it through godless ideologies, government overreach, the erasure of biblical morality, and the normalization of wickedness that would have shocked even the pagans of Rome.


We are engaged in a different kind of war — a spiritual one. As Ephesians 6:12 declares, “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world.” The beaches have changed, but the necessity of courage, sacrifice, and unwavering resolve has not.


Forgetting D-Day would dishonor the dead and endanger the living. When a nation or a church forgets the high cost of liberty — both political and spiritual — it becomes soft, entitled, and vulnerable. We already see the fruit: compromised pulpits, shrinking biblical conviction, and a generation that thinks freedom is free and truth is negotiable.


Fundamentalist Christians must be the memory keepers. We must teach our children and grandchildren what real sacrifice looks like. We must stand unashamedly for the Gospel that alone can transform hearts and restrain evil. We must refuse to let the blood of Normandy’s heroes — and the greater blood of Christ — be treated as mere historical trivia.


A Call to Faithful Action


This June 6, do more than post a flag. Gather your family. Read accounts of the invasion. Open your Bibles to passages about courage and vigilance: 2 Timothy 2:3-4 (“Endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ”), 1 Corinthians 16:13 (“Stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong”), and Hebrews 12:1-2 on running the race with endurance, looking unto Jesus.


Remember so that you might resolve: to be faithful where others falter, to speak truth where it is costly, to disciple your household with diligence, and to support a church that still preaches the whole counsel of God without apology.


The soldiers who hit Omaha Beach did not know if they would survive the day. Yet they went forward because the cause was greater than their comfort. We know the victory is already won in Christ. How much more, then, should we press on?


May we be found faithful in our generation as they were in theirs.


*“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits”* (Psalm 103:2) — and forget not the high cost paid for the blessings of liberty we still enjoy.


In the strong name of Christ our Captain,


A fellow soldier in the fight


*Share this with your church family, discuss it around the dinner table, and commit together to never forget. The battle for the soul of our nation and the purity of the Church continues. Stand firm, brethren.*

A Dialysis Day with Dave

Image
Just wanted to run you through an average dialysis day for me and so many others. ----------------------------------------- The alarm shrieks, cutting through the dawn quiet at 7:30 AM, sharp and insistent. Dave groans, rolling over to silence it. His body feels heavy, like it’s still tethered to the bed, but he knows he can’t linger. Dialysis days start early, and the clinic waits for no one. He swings his legs over the side of the bed, pausing to catch his breath. The familiar ache in his lower back is there, a dull throb---a reminder of the fluid his kidneys can’t clear anymore. He shuffles to the bathroom, splashes cold water on his face, and stares at his reflection. His eyes are a little puffy today, but he forces a half-smile. “You got this,” he mutters, a mantra he’s leaned into since his diagnosis. He knows that it's only the strength from God that is getting him through each day. Breakfast is light—oatmeal with a few blueberries, no salt, no bananas. He’s memorized the re...

The Hidden Sons of Abraham: Prophetic Promises of Redemption and End-Times Glory

Image
As Christians, we hold fast to the inerrant Word of God, taking every verse literally and seriously as the blueprint for history, prophecy, and our eternal hope. Today, let's dive into a often-overlooked passage in Genesis that reveals God's grand design for redemption—not just for Israel, but for all nations through Abraham's seed. These "hidden peoples," the sons of Abraham and Keturah , are no mere footnote in Scripture. They point to the fulfillment of God's covenants, the ingathering of the Gentiles, and the ultimate triumph of Yeshua the Messiah in the end times. Using the Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) for its faithful rendering of the Hebrew roots , we'll uncover how these descendants fade from the narrative only to reemerge in powerful prophecies of blessing and redemption. Abraham's Later Family: A Foundation of Many Nations Our story begins in Genesis 25:1-6 (CJB): 25:1 Avraham took another wife, whose name was K’turah. 25:2 She bore him Zimra...

In the shadow of escalating global tensions and the unyielding march toward the end times, the Scriptures call us to vigilance. As Bible-believing Christians, we must interpret God's Word literally and apply it to the world around us. Drawing from Revelation 6 , Psalm 83 , and Ezekiel 38 , this blog post delves deeper into the Red Horse of judgment —its meaning, its connections to ancient prophecies, and its profound implications for our faith and the world in 2025. With wars raging and alliances forming that echo biblical warnings, now is the time to heed these truths and prepare our hearts for Christ's imminent return. Understanding the Red Horse: Symbol of War and Divine Judgment The book of Revelation, penned by the Apostle John on the Isle of Patmos , unveils the sequence of end-time events through the breaking of seven seals by the Lamb, Jesus Christ .
