The Vatican says Jews are no longer the chosen people. Rick Warren reveals how he embraces the Roman Catholic religion and pushes for ecumenical unity. Victoria Osteen says worship for yourself, not for God. ISIS [IS] video tapes beheadings and kidnaps little girls. US continues to condemn Israel. The pope says the church grows by attraction, not proselytizing.
Does our dinner conversation center around the latest FoxNews headline, or The Word of God? Do we teach our children to look up, to pray for those in authority over us or look out to those making headlines today offering our bit of wisdom in the situation? Do they hear us grumble and complain about the latest breaking news or pray and intercede for the fallen and lost? Is our first line of defense to bow our head and take a knee if we hear of pastors and teachers falling into sin? Do we rehash the failures of the government or shake our heads in disbelief at the latest horrific actions of the Islamic faithful ?
Wars and rumors of wars fill the airways. Barack Hussein Obama has no strategic plan to protect the U.S. or our allies from terrorist. Nor does our government even acknowledge the existence of terrorism or terrorist.
And on and on it goes.
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in Thee.” Isaiah 26:3
Where is our focus?
Our focus is on the Lord, and following what is happening around the world as we see the beginning of the tribulation approaching. And meanwhile, pray for those persecuted and grieve with them.
