Just a Word from a Wanderer

I am sitting in the hotel lobby in Istanbul.  In fifteen minutes I will be taking a tram to the metro and then the metro to the airport.  I think my itinerary is something like Istanbul – Dubai – Johannesburg – Blantyre.  My final destination is Malawi, Africa to be with my good friend Neal Greenfield for a couple of weeks.

While fear grips the western world, life goes on as it always has in most of the world.  It has always been this way.  America has been incubated.  People kill.  In cold blood.  From Cain and Abel until today.  Unfortunately our fears have caused us and continue to cause us to offer up our freedoms on the altar of security.

I am sitting literally yards away from a recent bombing.  A bombing that killed a few, less than committed suicide in most states yesterday.  With the help of the (controlled) media, we are being frothed into a frenzied state of fear.  Terrorism does not work without media.

The answer remains the same – Jesus Christ as Lord.  I suspect, though, that Americans are adopting the same spirit of fear that the unbelievers have.  As a Christian, God has always had the final word in your life.  Persecution is coming west.  It’ll do us good.

Bulgaria is passing a law now that would make it illegal for anyone not sanctioned by the government to have a “religious” meeting.  I guess we’ll just have to quit and come home.

Ok, I want to get this post up and I have to go.  Pray for souls in Africa and Bulgaria and pray for Christians in America.  God has a destiny for you – fulfill it in the spirit of power.  Don’t cower under the spirit of fear!
