- Eight innocent people were murdered at a Jewish seminary in Jerusalem yesterday. The murderer's actions are being called "heroic" by Hamas.
- 68 innocent men, women and children were killed by two suicide bombings while they were shopping in Baghdad yesterday. 120 more were injured.
- Two innocent, promising female college students were senselessly murdered and left for dead in the street in the past two days --- one at Auburn and one at the University of North Carolina.
- An innocent child was abused by her mother who used a powerwasher on her.
- And there are many other unseen atrocities happening right here in our community to innocent women and children and men --- most we will never read about. Those hurts are as deep as any other.
Because of the Love of God and His amazing Word, peace can be ours, even in the midst of unrest:
"In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33 (NIV)
"The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace . . ." Romans 8:6 (NIV)
"God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God." Matthew 5:9 (NLT)
May His peace rest on you and every person in our war-torn world today.
May His peace rest on you and every person in our war-torn world today.
