The State of the World We Live In

From: tvt820 | Created: Mar 19, 2007

I just cannot believe the state of the that world we live in. The world is ravaged in war, our kids are in danger from abductors and pedophiles, thieves roam the streets looking for people to steal from or houses to break into. The criminals are not limited to any stereotype as many may think. Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers, anyone; it truly saddens me to see what is going on and who are committing these atrocities. It is truly pitiful. We as Christians are quickly becoming the minority. We have to work together, now more than ever. We need to be vigilant in our watch. We have a duty to all of mankind. We all have a responsibility to try to lead people to God through Jesus. We must cast off fear and do all we can for the Lord. I challenge you all to witness to someone this week. Please invite your friends to this community. Please post all you can to this site. You may be the one that turns the tide for someone and makes them decide to live for the Lord. Look at the world. We are not guaranteed to see the next minute, let alone tomorrow. Please do not let anyone slip by without showing them God’s love. We must work together, be kind to and help one another. I will leave you for now with 1 Thessalonians 5 : 1 - 28 for now. But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. (5:1) For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. (5:2) For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. (5:3) But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. (5:4) Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. (5:5) Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. (5:6) For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. (5:7) But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. (5:8) For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, (5:9) Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. (5:10) Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. (5:11) And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; (5:12) And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves. (5:13) Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. (5:14) See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. (5:15) Rejoice evermore. (5:16) Pray without ceasing. (5:17) In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. (5:18) Quench not the Spirit. (5:19) Despise not prophesyings. (5:20) Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. (5:21) Abstain from all appearance of evil. (5:22) And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (5:23) Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. (5:24) Brethren, pray for us. (5:25) Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss. (5:26) I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren. (5:27) The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. (5:28) Please pray for me as I will pray for you. Please post any prayer requests to the site, or genemail them or email them to me and I will post them. My personal email is tvt820@yahoo.com. Please be vigilant and take care of yourselves and each other. Please post any ideas you may have to make this community better. This is not my site, this site belongs first and foremost to the Lord, and then to all of us. You are all my family. I love you all in the Lord. Love in Jesus Name, Trent Thomason
