REMEMBERING 9/11

Where were you while we were being attacked by terrorists? I was in the kitchen. I could hear the news in the background. I heard them say something about a plane crashing into one of the twin towers. I went into the living room to see what was happening, and sat down just in time to see the other plane hit the second tower. I knew then that we were under attack. I remember sobbing for all those people...watching them hang out of windows, some jumping to their death, then to watch as the towers collapsed, crushing those trapped inside, along with the brave men and women who were in and near the towers, trying to rescue them. 

I remember how this nation literally became, once again, One Nation Under God. We rallied together in prayer. We found a renewed sense of community. We were determined to fight back, together. A lot has happened since then. Why are we so divided? A nation divided can not stand. A nation that boos God can not survive. We are in another civil war...brother against brother...neighbor against neighbor. 

We need a president that truly desires to bring us together and lead, putting God at the helm. We need an administration that is not divisive and that honestly loves this great nation that we are honored to live in. We do not have that kind of leadership. What we have is an empty chair.

John 15:17-21

Amplified Bible (AMP)

¹⁷This is what I command you: that you love one another.
    ¹⁸If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before it hated you.
    ¹⁹If you belonged to the world, the world would treat you with affection and would love you as its own. But because you are not of the world [no longer one with it], but I have chosen (selected) you out of the world, the world hates (detests) you.
    ²⁰Remember that I told you, A servant is not greater than his master [is not superior to him]. If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word and obeyed My teachings, they will also keep and obey yours.
    ²¹But they will do all this to you [inflict all this suffering on you] because of [your bearing] My name and on My account, for they do not know or understand the One Who sent Me.

What I don't understand is how one group of people can scream hate and intolerance when said group of people are exhibiting just that... Matthew 7:3-5 says, “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye."

To believe that marriage is a holy covenant between a man and a woman does not qualify as hate. Intolerance? Yes. As Christians, we should never tolerate sin. That does not mean we have hatred or intolerance for the sinner...we have all sinned...that is why we need a Savior.
