An Angry World
“But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, without uncertainty or insincerity.” — James 3:17
In the last few years, our world has reverted to a kind of barbarism. As practical Christianity has declined, rudeness and violence have increased. Neighbors quarrel with neighbors, fighting is a major problem in our schools, fathers and mothers quarrel and bicker, and homes are disintegrating. High government officials in Washington engage in name-calling and heated disputes that are not at all in keeping with the dignity of their office. Why and how has all this savagery crept into our society? It’s because we have forgotten the words of Jesus: “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” (Matt. 5:5) Until man finds an armistice with God, he cannot know peace with his fellowman. If we are to be peacemakers, we first must make our peace with God.
