Devotional, Scripture, a Quote, & a Song

  • “Marked By His Name” – odb.org

  • The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.                                                                    ~Acts 11:26~            
  • “Those who bear Christ’s name identify with Him because we have been changed by His love and grace. We declare to the world that He has made an eternal difference in our lives and we long for that in the hearts of others too.”
  • “Onward, Christian Soldiers” –  https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/h/871

My memories of this great hymn go back as far as my memory allows.  I’m sure the same if true for many of you.  Be sure to read the interesting comments as you listen and pat your feet.
