God is in control. No Human is capable of attaining control. PRAYERS GO ANSWERED EVERY MOMENT. We need to know this( love is all that God needs from us) please live by being His servant.

Iknew it was bad in Cambodia but this on the spot description…… How can this happen? And it is not isolated – just think of Mugabe and the people of Matabele land – just one horrific story among so many others. May God forgive us and make us more responsible.

My heart breaks and I’m reminded that it does so because my heavenly father’s heart breaks and moreso. Thank you so much for sharing and reminding us even… thank you for teaching me more about things that my public education has not deemed important to share.

Your experience verifies the fickle nature of humanity. It seems that humans are quite competent at evil deeds. We don’t need assistance from an evil spiritual force. In fact, by blaming an unseen force for our deeds, aren’t we just attempting to extricate ourselves from responsibility ?

I ‘lived’ in Vietnam in 1969, courtesy of the US government (USMC). I saw a lot of terrible actions. It was a sobering experience. I still wonder what our ‘purpose’ was for being there. When the US left the North Vietnamese military immediately took over. What a waste!

My head falls into my hands as I read this and remember the atrocities that Cambodian brother put on his brother in that era. It all begins and ends within the human heart. Attitude, identity, ego…the human heart is a fickle thing, so easily influenced…and prone to wickedness, as the Bible tells us. I read Rodney Otto’s posts condemning U.S. President Trump, hard to argue with the facts of his past actions. Yet where is is heart of hearts? Does God whisper in his heart? I hope so. I know Trump has taken positive action to reduce abortion in the U.S. And hopefully can continue on a path towards saving lives. The U.S. sees over 600,000 lives killed year in abortions. Phillip writes in reminder to us here that the Khmer Rouge killed 2 million of its population in less than half a decade. The U.S. is allowing over 3 million deaths in roughly the same time period. We are all living in our own “Killing Fields” and communities. Please pray, please vote, please plead with your family and friends to remember Jesus’ words to “Love the Lord with all our heart, soul, strength and mind. And to love our neighbor as ourselves”. Love that young mother, love that baby she carries. Share the Gospel, the Good News of life, offer ideas how to save a life, not end one. Faith-Hope-Love.

Yes, evil is incomprehensible. It can only be malevolent spiritual force that causes such terrible outbreaks of community violence. Think of Rwanda and Nazi Germany. People lived peaceably alongside each other and then performed or turned a blind eye to the most terrible acts.

Dear Phiip,
Thank you for letting us see the really of what so many of us cannot see.
Yes, definitely a spiritual force.
The evil one himself.

President Trump has joined The conservative Christian cause to gain political power. His life betrays Christ’s love for selfish pride and gross sin. Check his record with the ten commandments:. No submission to God. No life of prayer & worship before or after his election. Parenting more by finance than fatherhood. Demeaning language of character assassination. Boasts of adultery. Marriage desicated with sexual favors. Family life absent.
Cheats on property deals via bankrupt deals. Lies constantly. Boasts of wealth. How can a Christian or moral person possibly vote for such a blatant sinner leading us to dehumanize each other and disregard God’s law?

From my perch in the shadow of the Canadian rockies, on a stunning autumn day when one can hear Creation sing, it’s hard to believe that such evil can inhabit the heart of man. But there it is! Humankind trying to build it’s version of the perfect world, and threatening both the fragility of civilization and life itself. Only God has the recipe for the perfect world. The rest of us, whether on the right or the left, need to stand down and seek to reflect His purposes, rather than pretend to achieve them.
