A warning from the scriptures
The Psalmist writes,
"Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days,
keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies.
Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.”
Psalm 34:11-14.
Abba Hillel Silver wrote,
"Faith in God is the strongest bulwark of a free society. Human freedom began when men became conscious that over and above society and nature there is a God who created them...who fashioned them in His likeness, and that they are, therefore, possessed of intrinsic and independent significance and are endowed, as individuals, with original and irrevocable rights and authority." Abba Hillel Silver.
This is true. When men do not believe in God or do not fear His judgement society can fall into destruction.
We only have to look at Nazi Germany during and just before world war two. Their men who didn’t fear God or believe in Him brought about the slaughter of Millions of innocent men women and children. Not counting the millions of soldiers that died.
The same is true today. Today there are evil men both terrorist and political leaders and individuals that seek to imprison and murder those they disagree with.
To them and all who do not fear God be they individuals, political leaders, religious leaders or terrorist. The book of Ecclesiastes has a warning,
"Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil." Ecclesiastes12:13,14.
Please think about it.
