One of the critical events during the presidency of Ronald Reagan was the Sunday morning terrorist bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon. Hundreds of American soldiers were killed or wounded as they slept. You may recall the horrible scenes as the dazed survivors worked to dig their trapped comrades from the rubble.
A few days after the tragedy, Marine Corps Commandant Paul X. Kelly, visited some of the wounded survivors in a Frankfurt, Germany hospital. Among them was Corporal Jeffery Lee Nashton, who was severely wounded in the incident. Nashton had so many tubes running in and out of his body that he looked more like a machine than a man — yet he survived.
As Kelly neared him, Nashton, struggling to move and in obvious pain, motioned for a piece of paper and a pen. He wrote a brief note and passed it to the commandant. On the slip of paper were 2 words – “Semper Fi” — the Marine motto, which means“Forever Faithful.” What does it mean for you and me to be “forever faithful” to Jesus Christ?
Join us this Sunday, as we conclude our series on Lordship Living, and we’ll discover how we can be faithful to Christ in any and every situation. Hope to see you Sunday.

Faithful to Him,
Pastor Ben
