World on Fire

(Edited)

Everyone is in ill humor of late. The disease passing through America now is something much darker than coronavirus.

This disease is one of complacency; one of blind trust in people who may not have our best interests at heart.

The lines between truth and propaganda are blurred and we are at the mercy of careful plans of the molding of our thoughts through carefully researched censorship. I have noticed this when I visited Canada how media sends only the message it wants people to believe.

No one is even trying to hide the fact of censorship. It is being billed as protecting the public from harmful ideas.
This sounds suspiciously familiar.

Last I checked I'm an adult and I have critical thinking skills. I hope that I still use them.

The world is on fire.

Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
James 4:14 KJV

That was a shameful incident on the great state of America, the video clip of that poor man still is so live. Any human doesn't deserve that :(

Corruption is growing in the land of the Free and Free is no longer fully free. George Floyd was only the beginning of the murders related to this incident. Thank you very much for reading and commenting.

Yes, we live in disturbing times. Sometimes it is difficult to know who to believe. People "in charge" tend to say what they think people want to hear, rather than the truth. Ugh.

I think this time frame for a lot of people is designed to test our patience and create humility. Then 1 Corinthians 13 is a chapter should be dedicated to this year. From the first verse to the last.

Though we speak in the language of men and angels but we have not love. We are but a resounding Gong or clanging symbols. Love is patient. Love is kind. His never haughty or puffed up. Love does not delight in evil(N) but rejoices with the truth. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

It's not the full chapter but it's definitely worth studying the entire chapter. If we're not careful to keep loving our hearts. Then we're really not going to be able to make much of a difference.

Most definitely. Love covers a multitude of sins. I believe that God has been merciful given the sins of the world and the clock is ticking. Our job is to reach as many for Christ as we can.
