He keeps me safe on the road every day as I travel to work. He blesses me with so much. He answers prayer. And when times get tough, He encourages me to keep going and not give up. I think it's horribly sad that people think God has removed himself from our society. God doesn't give up on us, and we shouldn't try to assume that he has. Evil people make evil choices...and because of free will, sometimes there are extremely BAD consequences. I don't think God ever turns his back on us though.

God is faithful and as he has done in the past he will remove and protect the rightous prior to and during any acts he takes against evil. as he protected noah and his family when he destroyed all of the peoples of the earth in the flood, and as he did when he sent angels to remove lot and his family from sodom prior to his judgement, he will protect his people when he sends judgement on the evil. evil is a stench in the nostrils of God he cannot condone or tolerate it. remember the angels told lot they could not do what God had sent them to do until he and his family were out of the city, and they were telling him they had to hurry. but he must act in judgement. in his time and in his way, but his patience will run out. i hope this clarifies my stance somewhat.

Guest LAW Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 God is present everywhere--our schools, our government. HE is in control, even as to appointing non-Christian leaders. He was the one who put Pharoh in control when Moses led the children from Egypt. The OT is full of such examples. I do believe that as Christians, we have been the ones who have not kept God in our homes. And if He's in our homes and our lives are examples of Christians lives, and we teach our children correctly, we do not have to worry about what prayers are said (or not said) in our schools. Why do we try to change the world when the only real change we can make is in ourselves. The best witness and the best hope we can offer the world is the example of a surrended servant of Christ. My God is not absent. He is everywhere and He is still in control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
