From the beginning of time,
until the end of time,
there will always be battles
between good and evil.

People will always have conflict,
people will always be on the brink of war.

I don’t want to carry
that burden in my heart anymore,
and it injures my soul,
when I see the inhumanity in the eyes of man.

That’s why we need to be saved,
that’s why we need a Messiah.

If the struggle is real, God is real,
But if we conspire with the devil—
to hate the sinner and not the sin—
then there is no room in our hearts for a Savior.

So what is the solution for our earthly existence?
We must begin each day, by declaring peace in God’s name. Amen.

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” Bible, John 14:27

How Can Jesus Be the Only Way?

“Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
now and forever. Amen.”

Matthew 6:9-13

The Problem of Those Who Have Never Heard of Christ

“I believe the Lord allows Satan to sift overconfident, self-reliant Christians in particular. They boast, ‘If the enemy ever tries to bring me down, I’ll trample him in God’s power. I’ll chase him out of my life with the Word. The devil can’t touch me.’
I hear this kind of boasting from pulpits all across America. Of course, I agree we have victory over Satan by faith in Jesus’ work on the cross. Yet, at one time or another, every Christian faces sudden, surprising siftings and never realizes the devil is behind them. Movements are taking place constantly in the spiritual world that we know very little about. We’re not to be ignorant of the enemy’s devices.
Perhaps right now you’re facing a deep trial, an unexplainable shaking. You’re being turned upside down, inside out, and you think it may be because of some evil in you. Yet, the whole time, it’s Satan, sifting you like wheat, by God’s permission. When we’re being sifted, Satan injects into our minds every evil thing in his demonic arsenal. And he makes us believe these awful thoughts originated in our own hearts, rather than in hell. It’s a trial so hellish and despairing, Christ won’t let us enter it without giving us his oath to pray us through. Beloved, our own sifting ends when we can say to the devil, ‘My Savior loves me unconditionally, through all my sins, because I’ve returned to his love. Moreover, he’s convinced me that, even though I’ve failed him, he knows I still love him with all my heart. So, you can’t rob me of that anymore, devil. I won’t allow you to tell me otherwise. I love Jesus, and he knows it.'” Excerpt from: The Sifting Process

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12

“The safest road to hell is the gradual one—the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.” By: C. S. Lewis

“The exercise of freedom will always create rebels, because that’s the origin of revolutions. We can’t have a sedentary society, just like we can’t have a perfect union. If you don’t want conflict in your family, church and state, you want theocracy, and if that’s what you want, you don’t want democracy.” By: A. Freeman
