Memorial Day 2025: The Bravest Boehme
Today is Memorial Day in the USA. Over one million men and women have laid down their lives defending America in twelve major wars. Another four million died due to complications after battle.
This afternoon I will accompany my wife and mother to our local cemetery and place flowers on the headstones of loved ones. Freedom is not free–it’s very costly.
It was exactly 80 years and three months ago that my Uncle Dick gave his life for our country in flight combat–just seven months before WWII ended. I can’t wait to meet him in heaven.
I reprint his story each Memorial Day to honor his sacrifice.
He was the bravest Boehme.
Is YWAM Too Strong on Sin?
A recent article appeared in the Christian Post entitled, “YWAM Responds to Allegations of Spiritual Abuse: ‘Deeply Sorry.'”
It originated in England in the Observer–a British newspaper published on Sundays and sister paper to The Guardian. The article accused some U.K. YWAM leaders of being too “controlling” or involved in “spiritual abuse.”
YWAM quickly responded with an apology and explanation of our leadership values.
Youth With A Mission–one of the world’s largest Christian missionary organizations–has been accused of strong teaching on sin in the past. I know–because I’ve been one of the “accused.”

Why the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus Were Necessary to Save Us
Last year, President Biden used Holy Week to honor the Transgender Day of Visibility. This year, President Trump has returned us to our American roots by dedicating Holy Week and Resurrection Sunday to the Lord Jesus Christ.
If you need any proof of the difference in administrations, look no further. President Biden’s proclamation oozed “wokeness” and an atheistic worldview. President Trump’s expresses the beauty and wonder of Jesus’ death and resurrection and its centrality to history.
Following is the new administration’s proclamation–and why the cross and resurrection of Jesus were necessary to save us.
