A quote from Albert Einstein (a J3w), when a colleague criticized him for not being more involved with/approving of WWI:
“I prefer to string along with my compatriot Jesus Christ, whose doctrines you and your kind consider to be obsolete. Suffering is indeed more acceptable to me than resort to violence.”
Einstein, though not a Xtian, was very inspired by the stories of Jesus. Everyone is!
If you think it over and know some of the facts, WWI was one of the stupidest conflicts that ever was and yet it lasted for a long time and Europe was devastated. Millions and millions of innocent people died.
Good people were caught unaware by this conflict and a lot of good, brave, righteous people who wanted to do the right thing were killed off, leaving fewer “good guys” to shepherd and be examples for the next generation.
How much further will the number of good people be reduced if this thing goes on? Your prayers may be all you can do to halt this thing before it gets worse, but the good news is your prayers can accomplish a lot.
REQUEST FROM A RUSSIAN CHRISTIAN,
Thank you for your perspective, as a brother in Christ I pray for the people in Russia , we have gotten a taste of tyranny in the US and it is hard to oppose with all of it’s tentacles coming from so many directions.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers of spiritual darkness
We have a God who is not dismayed by the enemy but uses him to accomplish His will. His love will not be thwarted!
