U S Marines and the Christian coins

"Where will you spend eternity?" "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) Those are the two sides of a coin distributed by some US Marines stationed in Iraq. John 3:16 is more powerful than all of the firepower, and all of the weapons of war combined. It is the Word of God. It is considered the "Gospel in a nutshell." Are they not just words? Or are they? Why all of the fuss? If someone tells you something and you choose not to believe it, do not believe it. The Marines were just obeying the great commission. Were they bombing mosques? Were they murdering journalists who criticized their faith? Were they threatening those who do not agree with them? No. Jesus does not teach that. The Marines were acting as individuals. They were practicing the freedom that they are fighting for. Freedom, freedom, freedom. Have you ever heard of it?
