Peace

Why do the nations rage so furiously together?
Even the spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth in you, and shall be in you. John 14:17
Take a moment and try to let that sink in.
Following Christ Jesus (and nothing else) is a daunting proposition. He's so exclusive!
He demands everything----money, reputation, discomfort, pain, loss.
Death, crucifixion,  beheading, torture.
Why would you choose Christ?
When tragedies occur, and they will continue to happen until earth ceases as it is, we will see the raging vapid arguments surface against terrorism, religion, guns....
Everyone seems to have a band - aide for atrocity,  the kind committed by humans.
The elephant in the room is human nature.
Those screaming about guns must ask themselves honestly....what will be next?
When homosexual marriage was made legal last year there were assurances of it being the right thing to do for good people....
It didn't stop there, did it? That battle won, the agenda became transgender rights, the story subject of this past spring. What will it be next in the perversion department?  Bestiality? Pedophilia? We are on a roll, and rumblings are happening in Canada, Europe. Dont worry, we'll get there. It's going to get pretty bad here on earth.
Yes, we believers know that all this capitulation must occur for the End to begin. It's still hard. The new nature of Christ is repulsed by any sin.
We believers have read Romans and Revelation, words from the heart of God, and the condemnation of unrepentant sinners we know and love, is on the horizon.
Gun control of any sort is merely a band - aide. People really need Jesus. This society is on its way down because of sin, not guns.
Accepting someone's idolatry, sexual perversion, and sin is the most cruel thing you could ever do to someone you care about. You want them to burn in hell forever? You are inhumane. Face it.
Maybe you yourself need a new heart, the heart of Jesus. Do you hate someone today? Anyone? You need a new heart. Let the Love of Christ dwell in you! Your human nature easily hates.
Do you hate Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama,  or Donald Trump? You need a new heart. Do you hate the young man who killed 49 in Florida? YOU NEED TO REPENT. Jesus loves them all, even knowing that they could be burning in hell. (Dont judge! Hell is for all of mankind, except --exclusively---believers. No one goes to the Father but by Christ, the Way)
Do you hate?
There is a way to peace.
Jesus, God, Son of Man, Savior, Answer, Lover. When you bow to Him things come clear,  into focus, and everything  gels into a beautiful hope.
Get out your Bible. The truth is there. Read it!
Stop balking at Satan's snivelling trollish arguments about inconsistencies and contradictions. Look for yourself.
The Bible is not the Koran. It stands alone in every sense.
As John says in 14:17 this is a spiritual awakening. You cannot achieve it yourself. It is wrought by the Holy Spirit. 
How? Through repentance and trust....belief.
Pray. Repent. Believe.
"Come unto me, all ye who are heavy laden, and I will give you rest!"
Come to that EXCLUSIVE status of Believer,  follower of Christ, and heaven- bound.
Today. The spiritual forces are gathering for battle. Choose the victorious side today.  Experience Yahweh's perfect peace in this maelstrom of civilization's decline.
It will cost. It's warfare.  But it's right.
Ask the Lord to deliver you from the fog of humanism. Ask for the Holy Spirit to open your spiritual eyes.
Lucifer, you lose, and you know it.
