I here statements like that and, while I certainly understand them, sometimes think God turns and says in response to us and the Body, "How much longer??? Slain children, starving children, abused children...go quickly."
Are you kidding menno?
Do you really think that because these children are dead, there is nothing you can do for any children?
These weren't abused children. They were murdered by a friend of their mother who murdered the mother in order to steal her unborn baby.
Your comments are completely non sequitor to the circumstances being discussed. You obviously did not read the artilce.![]()
Too true.My point is that when we hear of evil in the world we often have a reaction wanting it all to just be ended by God winding up this creation so no more evil could ever happen. I understand this.
And David did, in fact, see evil and plead to God "How long, O Lord?" There is nothing wrong with pleading like this and many things right!
But I sometimes envision God directing us to the Great Commission when we do so plead.
