Proverbs 6:16-19
There are six things that the Lord hates, no, seven things He detests: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent, a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong, a false witness who pours out lies, a person who sows discord in a family.
In the wake of the events in Paris last night, I ask for everyone to pray. Pray for the victims and families, and for Paris as a city. To further the prayer, I ask that you pray for ALL who are on this side of the enemy's agenda. These attacks we have seen already, maybe not to that scale, around the world. Attacking soft targets with minimal security, killing innocent people is a sign of cowardice. Killing Christians on such a large scale that in some nations Christianity is expected to disappear. Pray that something starts to succeed in taking out these disgusting militants. Reading around on http://www.christianbiblereference.org, I found some interesting tidbits on just biblical war theories. I checked off each one, but I'll only name a few. Just causes; in response to certain, grave and lasting damage inflicted by an aggressor, advancement of good or avoidance of evil, serious prospects of success, non-combatants (civilians) must not be intentionally harmed, prisoners and conquered peoples must be treated justly. I'll let you do your own comparison, just like I did mine. But, Christians, we are under attack, along with innocent civilians, our friends, and our allies. We cannot continue to sit idle while they crucify us, behead us, rape us, attack us, and try to instill fear in us.
