This World Grieves Me


Wicked people! 
Our crude talk!
Our hateful actions!
An air of entitlement.
Lack of integrity!
Liars!
Drug users!
Alcoholics!
Sexual predators!
Abusers!
No adequate punishment for crime!
Political opponents willing to do anything for power!
No wonder there is so much turmoil!
Guns are blamed.
But it's the wicked ones behind the guns.
Mentally ill running loose without meds because of privacy concerns, just plain irresponsible.
Satan has had his way, and the world is clueless.
Witness opportunities are abundant!
Let us share Christ to the lost.
Knees are for praying.
Mercy is there, but only by repentance.
There is no free ride, change is waiting for those who will fall before His throne of grace.
Will you repent?
Trust Christ today for salvation!


"Though our iniquities testify against us, act, O LORD, for your name's sake; for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against you.  - Jeremiah 14:7

For your name's sake, O LORD, pardon my guilt, for it is great.  - Psalm 25:11

23 "Am I a God at hand, declares the LORD, and not a God far away?
24 Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the LORD. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the LORD. - Jeremiah 23:23-24

1 What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you?
2 You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask.
3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.
4 You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
5 Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, "He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us"?
6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
9 Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.
10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
11 Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.
12 There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor? - James 4:1-12

pray without ceasing, - 1 Thessalonians 5:17
