Just goes to show you satan still has power in this world. he is allowed to cause things so evil, and shocking.
Love the Lord you God with all you heart mind and soul, and all other things will come in their due time.

The wicked are prospering all over the place.  Big time drug dealers make a fortune because selling drugs is illegal.  Hell fire teachers prosper through the sell of fear.  With what we know now, none of this should bother us that much.

gmik:
Sorin, once in a while these things bother me too, But, did you read, really read the scriptures that Joe showed us?

Do we DESIRE nothing in this life but HIM???  Do we love HIM w/ our whole being? Do we accept where we are planted???  Do we accept HIS will for our life???

Ps 73 vs 17-23...reread....I don't want to be as a Beast, ignorant and foolish before Him.  Let the ungodly have their riches here, what does that matter to me??

Alll you other posters had great stuff too. Chris I liked that scripture. Musicman and Randy so true!!

Hi Pera, glad to see you here! Wow that was some story!!

One thing I am glad about my journey--being charismatic did have some perks. I fell in love w/ Jesus Christ and wanted nothing more than to be close w/ Him.  That meant being in HIS WORD.  Getting to know Him, and "talking" to Him all the time.  So at times when I see unfair things(as I see it) I tend to fall back onto my old ways of praising Him till I feel close again and TRUST that it will all work out.

Hey folks,there is a bright side if it gives you comfort, however it does not me,I dont say that because I  have money .I dont have a pot to ---.I say that because I  love Gods creation,all of it .Check it out MT19;24] read it all the way through. Well of course its a parable,but than show me one scripture that means what it says. But  have proof ,or dont bother.In Jesus name love to all.

--- End quote ---

Mat 19:24  And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Hi Dewey,

Mar 4:13  And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?

It means what all parables teach; "many called, few chosen."
 
But what is meant by rich? Is it the complacent, the ones who believe they are already "saved?" They said the twenty second prayer as they made the alter call and now are complete in the Lord, no need for anything other than looking out there somewhere for "the beast" and "the antichrist."

I believe the following verses help to "flesh out" Matthew 19:24

Rev 3:15  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
 
Rev 3:16  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth.
 
Rev 3:17  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

His Peace to you,

Joe
