The World Is Showing Its True and Ugly Colors: Michael Brown Case, Islamic State, Syria...

I made it clear in a Facebook video that the world is showing its truest and ugly colors. Reminds me of a rotting fruit. From the outside, the world is beautiful. The blue, green, white cup illuminate the globe like an orange wrapped in paint. Earth appears perfect from the outside, but most people know that nothing is perfect (or new) under the sun.  



There ARE blotches and flaws.

The world seems to be spiraling downward. The news online, in print, and on television cannot be published without word of war or turmoil. Americans are mostly used to wars occurring overseas, but we are also experiencing war on our own soil. 

Just recently, Michael Brown, an 18-year-old rising college freshman, was buried after being shot to death by an cop who accused him of robbery and other accusations. Evidence showed that the young man was unarmed and wrongfully murdered, but there has been no justice with the officer who shot him. Then there's the war in Syria with the so-called Islamic State (formerly called ISIS) who has been taking over parts of Syria and Iraq. Countless Christians and other religious groups have been persecuted and beheading for not "converting to Islam, leaving, or paying a tax," which were the three options given to those who the terrorist group confronted. Many have fled to the mountains and other areas in terror and fear. On another note, there is discord between other countries all for various reasons. War within, against, and outside the USA. Could things get any worse?

Earth is like a rotting fruit sometimes.

In a matter of time, it will disintegrate into nothingness. It doesn't have to. If more of the world turned from their wicked ways and acknowledged that Jesus Christ is Lord, we can be delivered. If people would repent from their evil ways--just stop sinning--this world could truly be a better place. The Lord gave clear instructions in 2 Chronicles 7:14, 


"if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

It starts with me. It starts with you. 


Be informed. Read the news. Pray. 


"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." - Mark 14:38
