In 1836 a band of fewer than 200 men defended the Alamo against General Santa Anna’s 6,000 Mexican troops….
For two weeks they held the little mission against impossible odds. Then, on March 5, the night before what would surely be the final assault, William Barret Travis, the commander of the Texans, called a meeting of his men. Telling them he knew the enemy would break through the walls on the morrow, he drew his sword and cut a line in the sand. He invited those who wanted to stay and defend to the death to cross the line. Jim Bowie, who was sick on a pallet, asked to be carried across the line.
THOUGHT: Jesus has drawn a line in the sand and he asks you to cross it. Will you stand united with Him? — Mike Jeffress
“And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15).
