September 11th: Finding Light in the Darkness | A Christian Reflection
As we approach the anniversary of September 11th, 2001, we pause to remember a day that forever changed our world. Most of us can recall exactly where we were when the news broke—a day of unimaginable tragedy, loss, and fear. But even in the smoke and rubble, stories of profound light began to emerge.

This is not just a historical reflection; it is a memorial. Join us at Armor and Ash as we honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost, celebrate the incredible courage of the heroes who ran toward danger, and explore the enduring lessons of unity, resilience, and faith that arose from the ashes. This video is for anyone seeking to remember, to grieve, and to find hope in the truth that even in our darkest moments, the light still shines.

In This Memorial, We Reflect On:
Honoring the Loss: We take a solemn moment to remember the victims, the families left behind, and the first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice. We affirm the sacredness of grief and the love from which it is born.

Courage in the Fire: We revisit the heroic actions of firefighters, passengers on Flight 93, and ordinary strangers who demonstrated the powerful truth of John 15:13: "Greater love has no one than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends."

The Unity of 9/12: We look at the powerful response on the day after—a nation that came together to donate blood, gather in churches, and support one another, reminding us that compassion is stronger than division.

Enduring Lessons for Today: We explore what this tragedy teaches us more than two decades later about the fragility of life, the nature of everyday courage, and the unwavering presence of God, who is always near to the brokenhearted and who brings beauty from ashes.

This reflection is an invitation to not only remember how those we lost died, but to be inspired by the way we choose to live in response—with urgency, with deeper love, and with unshakeable hope.
