This Note Is For Those Of You Who Believe In God.
It is not intended to diminish in anyway those of you who don't but today's message is not for you.
For Those Of You Who Believe...Including Myself.
I have written several times about how the Western World is transforming into Secularism despite the fact that Religion has been the foundation upon which our Democracies have been built.
Today we find ourselves under attack here in our home countries; where we are ridiculed and dismissed as irrelevant...politically non-correct.
We can live with that but throughout many parts of the world those who believe in a Higher Power are being slaughtered for their belief as the world stands mute in the face of this religious genocide.
Unlike our detractors though we can take comfort in the fact that there is a better place awaiting us after death.
To reinforce this with you, I give you the Holy Gospel according to Saint John - 15:18-21 -
Jesus said to his disciples: If the world hates you, realize it hated me first.
If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world, the world hates you.
Remember the word I spoke to you, 'No slave is greater that his master', If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
And they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me.
That does not mean that those who believe in God should roll over and accept their fate willingly. Rather it provides the reason why things are going south in a ever growing secular world.
Indeed, it has always been, and continues to be our job to set an example for those who do not believe - in the hope that they too will realize the true value of life here on earth is to prepare for life ever lasting ...before it is too late for them.
As I see it...
