THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY

If you are a keen observer of mankind, surely you will have come to the conclusion that you can find examples to prove any of the varied stereotypes with which our world is plagued. But long term studies are revealing some interesting findings.

SHOVEL READY

n 2 Kings 3:16-17 we read “While the harpist was playing, the hand of the LORD came upon Elisha and he said, ‘This is what the LORD says: Make this valley full of ditches. For this is what the LORD says: You will see neither wind nor rain, yet this valley will be filled with water..."

Shovel anyone?

FRIENDLY FIRE

When looking for help or rescue or a place of sanctuary, the last place you would look would be a war zone. Too often the wounded, seeking safety and refuge get caught in the crossfire of our own misguided doctrinal missiles.
Someone once said, "Christians are the only people on earth who shoot their own wounded".

The following is an example of the kind of division that has substantiated the world's claim that Christians are hate mongers. "By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have LOVE, one for another. " (John 13:35) This , of course, is predicated upon the qualification that you are a "Disciple", and indicating that loving one another is the defining characteristic OF a disciple. The truth is that "united we stand, divided we fall".
