Well, I'm supposed to be scared to death of global warming, according to proponents of a faulty science scheme. But let's suppose that global warming is real. How long before it destroys the USA? A century or two? Fifty years? A decade?
I'm also supposed to be afraid of Islamic Jihad -- the militant Israel haters and America destroyers -- murderers and terrorists. These people are serious! They want us wiped off the face of the map. They get into our country over porous borders with plans to kill us and undermine our culture.
Between global warming and Islamic Jihad, I think Islamic Jihad poses the imminent threat. If the Al Gore's of the world would spend as much energy trying to protect our children and innocent citizens from terrorists as they do protect a few caribou from oil rigs, we might indeed be safer and more self-reliant.
Let's see: Global warming, on one hand, that stimies productivity, is based on psuedo-science, and flushes millions of dollars down the toilet, verses Islamic Jihad that wants me dead NOW! I think I'd rather the USA be concerned about the Islamic Jihad.
Note to believers: God is still on His throne and absolutely nothing happens that doesn't cross His desk first! And whatever happened to Christians abiding in the shadow of His wing? He is our Savior, and the One who loves our very souls. So, I'm okay with world events as long as I abide in Christ, and He in me. He, afterall, is sovereign, and "all power is given unto [Christ]." All power means all power. Whew! Now don't you feel better?!

You're quite right to point out, nothing happens that God does not allow - it "crosses His desk" first. That is helpful to know. Writing from Australia, I also think you say true when pointing out that Islamic Jihad is the lead threat. If you've read history, no doubt you recall the prelude to World War 2. All efforts were made to appease the Nazi government of Germany at the time, and to know avail. Jihad does not want peaceful co-existence, as far as I can see. But they will not overcome God. The Phillistines did not overcome the Israelites. Blessings.
Appreciated your comments, Andrew. You and I have so much in common -- music, movies, I've taught history, etc. etc.
I appreciate your comments...and agree.
