Terrorism

Truly I am heartbroken for America, for this world, for the blood spilt through the recent well publicized terrorist acts of violence.  Last week was a sleepless week.  My mind troubled for I could see that God has pulled His protection and allowed evil to succeed, albeit, it is not by man's consequence that justice was brought so far to at least two of those responsible.

I still hold to the concept that God has complete control of our "days" ... our time is wholly is in His hand alone.  Of course, I now wonder if you are not His, just how precious is your life really to Him?  If you are not a real "Christian" then you have an opportunity, perhaps more, to come to that saving grace of His - as long as you are alive.  Of course, that then insinuates that once you have rolled by your last rejection of Him - well, you are fodder for evil to claim you at any time - true randomness.  And if you are His, and you are murdered (or worse), then your time is over and you have been freed from this physical life, as your days would have to have been complete.  A bus, a bread truck, a faulty light switch, the flu or a terrorist - when you time is up, it is up.

So, exactly how does one deal with this problem of terrorism?  You can take away all of the guns but that does not eliminate them - too many are available worldwide and as Europe has learned - you can be gun free and still have mass shootings.  Russia will always supply weapons to those whom want them, one way or another. As England discovered this past year, the knife in the hand of a maniac can kill and maim just as many in a crowded gathering!  And a less than objective immigration policy throughout the world is allowing the spread of a disease my direct ancestor Fredrick had to deal with in a running battle from Vienna into the Balkans beginning in 1683!

But dear Lord, I pray not for total warfare now!

Consider this: The Later Day Saints, Catholics, Southern Baptists are to Christianity - as - Islam is to either Judaism or Christianity!

Christianity is the completion of Judaism, the Jew has merely to understand and repent - as does all mankind!  The Islamist is Judaism and Hebrew traditions turned sideways.  They need to drawn back towards a truth they can understand and then be shown a true Christianity - not the misunderstanding of the liberal mind!  As for the Christian cults, yeah, they need to be reached and in all of them I personally know real Christians, operating as real Christians and living out their faith, not the cultic values.  But, those whom are sold out to the cult still need to repent and turn to the true Savior, Jesus, not rights, traditions and rules.

And no change can occur until you, my dear reader, as a real Christian, begin to live your faith - showing love towards all - and that would be God's love. Oh, and let us not forget prayer - tons of it! and perhaps God will return His face towards America and change our nation's direction and heart.
