Escalation of Anger - 030613

Who "will pay the price", Ariel?(020306)

On the Eve of the year 5761 - Rosh Hashana (a time of atonement and forgiveness and new beginnings - the perfect opportunity for giving peace a chance) Ariel Sharon chose, instead, to arrogantly claim Israeli ownership of a major disputed site in Jerusalem and thus set in motion the endless spiral of escalation and the continuous cycle of retaliation that we have witnessed for the last 24 months. It should have become evident that for every palestinian destroyed in the killing fields an ever increasing harvest of potential 'suicide bombers' will be reaped.

Now it appears that president Bush is picking up the gauntlet with his retoric of 'Evil Axis' which has already stirred up millions within the countries he has accused. It should not be very hard to predict that, rather than reducing the threat of terrorism, the stirring up of the hornets nests will inevitably result in an increase of terrorism against the United States.

If you are a Christian let your voice be heard in Washington in an effort to persuade your president to allow himself to be more trusting in the power of God than the illusionary might of any army he may currently be depending on.

Mr. Billy Graham,

42 years ago I heard you speak of the love of God for the first time. I was 20 years old and I was in a state of complete rebellion against the religion of my parents and therefore I rejected your message out of hand. Over the next 30 years, while idly surfing, I would occasionally see you on TV and continue surfing. Then, suddenly, while in the midst of terrifying finincial circumstances, God caught me in his loving arms and my rebellion melted like snow in the heat of the afternoon sun.

Overr the last 12 years, on the road to recovery, I have learned a lot about the Love of God. I have also learned a lot about our responsibility as disciples of Christ and, especially, our task as stewards of the talents that have been entrusted to us. Talents that include the individual abilities that have been given to us in order to make disciples of all nations. We have not done anything to earn or deserve these abilities, they were given to us at birth!

Then why do we think that we can claim the wealth that comes to us, just because we were born in the wealtiest and most powerful nation on earth, for ourselves?

800,000,000 people on this planet are hungry every day!

every 7 seconds a child dies of malnutrition!

$1,200,000,000 would take care of this problem!

G.W. Bush is spending this amount every 5-6 days on his re-election project!

Please consider the10,000 Iraqi civilians that, as your own advisors have predicted, will be killed by American troups returning a deadly response to inevitable sniper fire in the treacherous streets of Baghdad. Is this really worth the 'American Lifestyle' you are trying to protect so desperately, in order to win votes?

Meanwhile, while you are spending $1,000,000,000.00 a day on this foolish notion, in your own country, millions of people are without insurance coverage, millions of people are without jobs and millions of people, below the poverty line, are starving every day. The blessings that God has bestowed on this Nation are not meant to be squandered on wasteful, sinful and self-centered ideas of 'Life Style' under the excuse of avenging the actions of terrorists. "Vengeance is Mine, sayeth the Lord"

Our fight is NOT against Muslim, Christian, Jew or any other religion or ethnicity, but rather against those who have willingly given themselves over to the forces of Evil.

Just as, when Catholics and Protestants in Ireland kill each other for political reasons, we do NOT condemn all Catholics and all Protestants, we should NOT condemn all Muslims for the transgressions of a few fanatics.

As Christians, let us keep our Anger in check and let God be our guide.
