Jesus

I believe Jesus is the answer. Our world is so troubled. Young kids protesting and at times their signs show they really do not know what they are doing. We have a serial bomber in Texas. It doesn't have to be a gun that takes innocent lives. Here on the local news a 9 year old boy shot his 14 year old sister and killed her because she would not give the video game controller to him.  What do you now do with this 9 year old boy that killed his sister.  I read the report of a newspaper in Indiana that reported a mandatory fire drill as a walk out in support of gun control protests going on all over our country. It was just a fire drill, no intent to walkout with the rest of the kids across our nation in protest but the media reported it as such anyway. I want to comment on the state of our country and be civil. I have been guilty of calling posts stupid or the kids and their signs that don't make sense idiots. I really need to be more civil. We need to respect authority. The ultimate authority is God, and we don't respect him. We can live any way we want and call it good. We go against God's laws and disrespect God and wonder why he doesn't intervene. I believe God can heal brokenness. If it is a Drug Addict or an Alcoholic, or a pill popper, I believe God can heal. If it is an adulterer or a thief, I believe God can heal the sin sickness of our nation. But we have to seek him. We have a Senator position to be voted on this year and the campaign is already muddy and slanderous.  We do not follow God's direction for living. We are messed up. I do not want to vote for a slanderer. Politicians can say anything they want to and we vote based on lies and slander. False news reports daily and we wonder what is wrong. It is the adults that are messed up. I think I read that of the dozen or so killers of recent years, only one or two have been younger that 21. I posted a Church sign that said we can created all kinds of laws to control evil and evil will still not obey laws. There was one comment and I really don't know what to think or what the person was really saying. Even Honest people don't always obey laws. I guess its true. But what is that person really saying? Is the church sign wrong? I don't know. Am I an honest person if I don't obey the speed limit? Am I an honest person if I try to cheat on taxes by lying about how much I paid for a vehicle? I'm not sure what that person is saying about honesty. Am I honest just because I think I am honest 70% of the time. I only tell white lies to keep from hurting other peoples feelings? I don't have all the answers but I believe God does. I believe God made a way through a heart change in an individual. I have seen alcoholics and drug addicts healed of their addictions. I have seen adulterers change their ways after a heart change. In the people that made a successful change, it seemed their was a heart change first. The behaviors and actions did not always correct themselves overnight, sometimes it was a real struggle. But I believe  Jesus made the difference. I believe Jesus is needed in the hearts of people to make a lasting change. I believe it takes a heart change for a person to be honest even when it is the hardest thing to say the truth. I have made so many mistakes in my life, I cannot count them all or even remember them all. I credit Jesus with making a change in my heart first of all. I believe that is what it will take to fix our world. I am betting on it that at the end of this life, I will gain eternal life because I accepted Jesus as my Savior. I asked him to forgive me of my sins. It was not just a one time event. I have asked for forgiveness many many times. Sometimes for the same sin many many times. I believe Jesus is the answer for our world today. It hurts to see so much bad happening, but still I believe Jesus can fix our world one life at a time. God bless, LVZ.
