“Therefore, my brothers, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, that is how you should stand firm in the Lord, dear friends!” – Philippians 4:1
On July 7, 2005, a series of coordinated Islamic terrorist suicide attacks occurred in London, England. The attacks targeted commuters traveling on the city's public transport system during the morning rush hour.
Four Islamic terrorists separately detonated three homemade bombs in quick succession aboard London Underground trains across the city and, later, a fourth on a double-decker bus in Tavistock Square. The death toll was 52 UK residents and more than 700 people were injured.
After the terrorist attacks, some Londoners were so determined to live their lives normally, and not in fear, that they started the website, We’re not afraid dot com.
The site is now expired, but visiting the site soon after the attacks, you would have been greeted by dozens of pictures of individuals, families, couples, and corporate employees all displaying in some manner the words, We’re Not Afraid. Their point was to stand together and encourage others to live their lives, even in the face of terrorists’ threats, without fear.
No matter what life may throw at you, stand firm in Jesus. Today in prayer, praise the Lord that in this chaotic world, He is our solid ground!
