I don't watch the news. I rarely read it either...
But I have heard. I see. I know. And it's frightening.

It's everywhere. It hasn't gone away and... until we behave differently, it never will.

It's years of history and hurts and scabs and disjointed efforts. It's political junk and personal junk and regular junk. It's pride. It's egos. It's culture. It's sin.

We are so consumed by ourselves that we can't or won't take time to look up and look around at what we are doing to one another and to ourselves.

What we need is to tear down the silos. Build up respect and hope and love.
What we need is Jesus.

Satan is front and center in on CNN, Fox, CBS... he is front and center in our personal lives. He is good. And he will not win.

Every day I get a choice and you do to.
What will you choose?

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. — John 3:17

Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. — Jeremiah 29:12-13

Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. — Romans 5:2-5
