The terrorists shot innocent victims in a theater. And their deeds cast aspersions on all Syrian refugees, creating even more innocent victims.
1 Peter 5:8-9 (ESV)
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.
Lord God, may we be cautious yet compassionate, guarded yet gracious, resistant yet realistic, watchful and wise. Amen.
I agree with Donald Trump. If the people in Paris had been armed, a lot fewer innocents would have died. I am very, very tired of being told that these deaths are the symbolic impetus for change and justice.
As for me and my house, we’ll serve the Lord, and carry an Uzi.
Brings to mind the restoration of the wall of Jerusalem:
Nehemiah 4:17
Each labored on the work with one hand and held his weapon with the other.
