In today's media, we
are constantly being told of the atrocities of beheadings, suicide bombings,
gang rapes, torture, etc., and it is easy to be discouraged, and even to
be paralyzed by fear. With a government that seems bent on bringing Islamic
terrorist to our shores, and with even some cities already declaring
Sharia Law for their citizens, weapon sales in America have reached
astronomical numbers. It is so bad, that some states are doing away with
the need for permits to carry, and actually encouraging citizens to be armed,
even to the point of schools having armed teachers! You can almost hear
the cry, “America has fallen, has fallen!”
Believe what God’s Word says!
John 14:1-3 - "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in
God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions: if it
were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for
you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and
receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."Romans 15:1 - "For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope."
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 - "Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort. Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God."
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 - "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not (precede) them which are asleep. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words."
2 Thessalonians 2:13-17 - "But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: whereunto He called you by our Gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by Word, or our epistle. Now our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work."
