Why? Matthew 18:20 says Omnipotent God is there for you. Does God need a gun? You didn't read down far enough. From #15 above: >We use spiritual weapons against the spiritual powers. We use physical weapons when faced with clear and present danger. < Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

Good catch! We were discussing the incident at the evening service not the morning service. My mistake. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Why isn't the white community denouncing these acts?! They are in my community. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

I believe your assessment is plausible. Ego driven illusions of status and well-being will eventually fail. The question in my mind is why are we removing the foundational values of God, family and country from our system of education? Without those grounding factors narcissism is the only goal in life. Those that make the grade of wealth and power are counter-balanced by the insecure, angry victims. The spiritual component of life is real and to our demise we are negating it. Would you like to read Scripture supporting this end time philosophy? Man is a spirit. He lives in a body. He has a soul. The soul is comprised of the mind, emotions and will. The mind focused on the body will eventually self-destruct into eternal death. The mind focused on the spirit will grow into the truth of eternal life. The will to put Christ at the center is the decision required to achieve the latter. Jesus' sacrifice of life became the propitiation and atonement for all mankind. Jesus was Christ incarnate. Christ along with the Holy Spirit are the triune nature of God. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

And that will help you.... how?? You're a quite old man (yeah I know, a PGR), do you really trust in your *reactions*? BTW: Is your god armed, too? Sunday AM when I got to church a few of the men were standing outside discussing the incident. We all agreed that if such an attack took place at our church the crossfire would be horrendous. Train to get on the floor immediately. We know we live in the end times where most of society is angry and afraid. They live with insane illusions of right and wrong. They act out mentally deranged solutions to non-existent problems. We trust in the Lord but we also take precautions. And that applies in all aspects of our lives as it has for all of recorded history. We use spiritual weapons against the spiritual powers. We use physical weapons when faced with clear and present danger. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

And another shooting at a church in Fresno CA, two shot one fatal. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/two-shot-one-fatally-outside-church-in-fresno/ar-AAutt2K?ocid=spartanntp We carry our weapons to church.

And I come here for the cold and prickly. Emotions are what make us human. However, the Holy Spirit instructed me not to enter into ego oriented conflict today. Today I shall enjoy a pleasant Autumn day in these beautiful mountains enveloped in the love of God through Christ. I pray the same for all of you.

So it would appear that radical Islamic terrorists, other terrorists, the availability of firearms, etc. are the neo-Malthusian equators for homeostatic balance in the world. And, let us not overlook same sex marriage and general gender identification dysfunction. Or, we may simply learn to live warmer and utilize more CO2 in our bodies because of evolution.

The point was that I was amused. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

I didn't make it up. I heard it on news talk radio. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

I am amused at the negative reaction by the LGBTQ minority to Kevin Spacey's statement that he is choosing to live a gay lifestyle now. It contradicts their "born that way" ideology.

Sorry, I will not own that. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Really!? That is a bold statement. Which ones do you think I am leaving out? Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

I never consulted the written law. When my engine check light on my old truck lit my mechanic ran the code and said it is an EVAP code. Don't worry about it, there are no emissions control laws in GA. That is all I know. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Good'un! Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

I just purchased another truck. It's one of them big honkin' V-8 four door mothers. A gas guzzlin' powerhouse of American pride. Hell yeah! Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

OK but, it's all above my pay grade. I am a counselor by profession, not an engineer, scientist, politician or whatever the job description that works on this issue. My focus is peace of mind. I have it where I am with God and my community. You guys in the city can fret all you want. I wish you well. God is in control, still on the throne and the Bible states that after the Millennial Reign of Christ the earth will be destroyed by fire. We may just simply be right on schedule.

Yep, I accept that one as true. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

When you develop a solution that all the nations in the world are willing accept you will be a very rich man. Look at all the money Al Gore made just by starting the controversy and he doesn't even live by his own philosophy. Meanwhile, here in the north GA mountains I maintain a position of disinterest.

I have difficulty believing that conservatives in general blame others and become victims. I believe conservatives in general want to live their lives without governmental power and control as much as is possible. I see liberals as living in a world of problems and negativity that require power and control which can only be funded by taking money and control from conservatives.

Amen to that. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Good explanation. The problem is getting people, 6-7B of them, to admit the problem and take the first step. That is, they have to admit they are powerless and turn it over to God as they understand Him. To some, many, that god is government and taxation or power and control.

I don't even understand the attraction to Twitter. It is like quietly listening in on an old telephone partyline. It is eavesdropping hoping to catch someone saying something.

It is something to keep your mind busy until the big event. We all have to have something. Spheres of consciousness are not required to overlap. When they do we have the opportunity to pursue a path in a complementary way. When they do not it simply does not matter. I seek a spiritual journey with eternal benefits. I invite others to join along. Whether they do or not is of no consequence to me. It is like watching a cruise ship sail out of port. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.
