nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. Psalm 103:10 I have no doubt that God takes pity on those who are afflicted. He's impartial to the oppressed, and to all who are in pain, even if the latter was caused by one's foolish actions... I am not exaggerating when I say that one could get seriously hurt if he doesn't dress properly when he goes to the prison's outdoor yard...
For the most part, those of us who live in the western world, including many Christians, do not understand or recognize the great danger that certain elements of the Islamic religion pose to mankind...
Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you,
and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain... John 15:16a God's plan for every Christian is to use him or her to the fullest extent possible as a "vessel of honor" in His hands...* |
