THROUGH THE BIBLE IN THREE YEARS
<><><><><>
A blonde went with her boyfriend to the football game. After the game, he asked her how she liked it.
She said, "I enjoyed it. Those were some very strong and courageous men! But I can't understand why they fought so hard over 25 cents?"
Her boyfriend was taken aback. He said, "What do you mean 25 cents?"
She said, "Well they tossed a quarter to start the game, and from then on everyone was yelling 'GET THE QUARTER BACK!"

Rom 5:8-9
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
KJV

Men have been fighting for centuries upon centuries. Someone once said, that in the history of the world - some 6,000 years, there has been less than 200 years without war.
Islam is a religion in which the people say god told them to send their sons to kill other people; especially certain religious people.
But Christianity is a religion in which God sent His Son to die for mankind!
When people come to Christ in surrender, the Bible says they are made "sons of God" (John 1:12). But God does not send those sons to kill, He sends them to tell others how they can be saved.
There is only ONE way in which a person can be "justified" in the sight of God: that is through the blood of Jesus Christ.
Men fight over land, possessions, oil, nuclear capabilities, etc. Seems to me that's worth LESS than 25 cents when we think about heaven!
No I'm not a pacifist. I was in the armed services during the Vietnam War. Yes, I believe in standing in defense of aggression.
Satan and sin are the real aggressors in life. Let's stand against them. Let's stand in defense of REAL LIFE. Let's stand to tell others about Jesus Who died for their sins.
Love ya,

If you have a neighbor in the hands of the aggressors, arm yourself with the Word of God and extricate him!
