A new generation remembers the victims of 9/11
Young people born after Sept. 11, 2001, read the names of nearly 3,000 victims at Ground Zero on the attacks’ 25th anniversary. A historic Christian worldview affirms the dignity of every person named and the importance of telling the truth about suffering and evil. Remembrance should also cultivate justice, mercy and humble care for survivors, grieving families and others harmed by violence.
Nobody is asking: How can remembrance form people who pursue truth and justice without nurturing hatred or forgetting mercy?

Scripture connections
Passages readers commonly bring to a story like this, shown with their surrounding context.
1 Thessalonians 5:21
Ethical application · WEBTest all things, and hold firmly that which is good.
A reader might connect the command to test all things with the effort to teach a generation that has no firsthand memory of 9/11. Holding firmly to what is good can include preserving truthful memory while rejecting distortion, hatred and careless judgment.
Read the surrounding context (1 Thessalonians 5:16-22)
Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you. Don’t quench the Spirit. Don’t despise prophesies. Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good. Abstain from every form of evil.
This interpretation is debated. Christians may differ over whether this passage applies primarily to testing spiritual teaching or also supports a broader ethic of careful historical discernment.
