John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” “Red and yellow, black and white. They are precious in his sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world,” sung by Ray Stevens.

This race thing works both ways. All of these protests that are going on is just keeping the pot boiling. Those that are giving hate-filled speeches, rioting, looting, shooting, injuries, death, taking over city blocks. And now they want to defund or do away completely with law enforcement. And some mayors (de Blasio) are encouraging this action and are seeing crime increasing in their cities.

The radical left (encouraged by the left-leaning media) are bent on changing our country into a socialist-led country and keeping minorities dependent on the government.

If we have no law enforcement, it will be utter chaos. We all witnessed the tragic death of Mr. Floyd - but now it has been taken into the political arena. Of course, there are some bad police, but there are many more good men and women that know their job is to enforce the law and to keep the people safe.

Many individuals are in need of various transplants. Our greatest need is a “heart transplant.” Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the father but by me.” John 14-6.

No political party or single individual is going to bring peace. It is important to vote and scripture tells us to pray for our leaders. And certainly, we must and pray for our country. We are in a spiritual war. Good against evil. God’s people against Satan and his demons. Satan know he is defeated. When Jesus took our sins upon himself and gave the ultimate sacrifice that we could be forgiven for our sins and have eternal life with him. But it didn’t stop there. God the father raised Jesus from the dead and he is sitting at the right hand of God interceding for us!

One day God is going to tell his son to bring the church home. Will that be our choice? To be with him in heaven or choose to be with Satan and his demons in hell where there will be “wailing and gnashing of teeth,” endless torment.

May God bless our country and our leaders. Also, I’d like to take this time to thank our postal workers and mail carriers for handling all kinds of mail, seeing that it gets into the proper hands and those that work in the banks handling the mone that passes through every day during the virus pandemic. Thank you.
