Sermon Illustrations for Lent 2 (2013)
Genesis 15:1-12, 17-18
Jeremiah Denton, a Navy pilot who was held captive in the Hanoi Hilton during the Vietnam War, understood the need for the comforting presence of a heavenly parent as he endured a hell administered by heartless demons. He wrote poetry, memorized it, recited it to other pilots who in turn memorized the lines, and like stealth bombers the words of comfort would fly about the camp, undetected by Satan's emissaries.
