We live in a time right now when a group of butchers known
as ISIS (the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) is carving its way through parts
of Iraq, destroying and driving out Shiite Muslims, Christians, and others whom
it considers apostate or infidel. As you
know from the sparse news details of the actual battles and incidents,
Christians and others have fled to the mountain tops. There are now so few Christians there, as
compared to just a few years ago.
And is the world speaking out? Some. A little, in newspapers. Why not more?
Every civilized nation and leader should be speaking out boldly!
Just as the world in the past should have spoken openly
against horrible actions and leaders and perhaps by doing so may have averted
the terrors that followed, such as that of the Nazis in WWII and the evil
regime of Pol Pot in Cambodia in the killing fields, here we have an
opportunity to act.
Speaking out boldly and publicly is important.
But even more important is acting boldly. The West which in the past has prided itself
on its “high moral road” cannot avoid taking real serious strong action to stop
and to destroy this butchering group.
In the Bible at times God instructed Moses and Joshua to
take bold action to destroy an evil enemy – destroy! Get that absolute evil out of existence. And that is what ISIS is.
If you cannot recognize ISIS for what it is, I pity you and
I suggest you retreat to a time of prayer and seeking God. This is evil.
Yes, there really is good and evil even though so many seem to have
forgotten that. It is not clear if the
leadership of the US government understands that. But this is a time for action, not for
discussion. You cannot discuss with the
devil . You have to take action.
Help us God not to ignore your people. May this country go forward boldly as it has
in the past.
Pray for strong moral leadership for this nation and for
other nations. This empty falling and
just letting things happen must end.
Evil unchecked will gobble up everything in its path. There is more evil out there beyond just
ISIS, but it surely has made its case for us.
There is no doubt it is evil and must be stopped.
May God bless you all and guide you to pray as you should
and to act as you should.
Keep Your Eyes on Jesus!
