This was the headline:

And this is the reminder for all of us as believers:

¹⁸ They said to you, “In the end time scoffers will come living according to their own ungodly desires.” ¹⁹ These people create divisions. Since they don’t have the Spirit, they are worldly.

²⁰ But you, dear friends: build each other up on the foundation of your most holy faith, pray in the Holy Spirit,²¹ keep each other in the love of God, wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will give you eternal life. ²² Have mercy on those who doubt. (Jude 1:18-22)

No meaningless platitude when we pray… REALLY pray. And we need to be reminded of this: we probably won’t like God’s solutions, either. God doesn’t consult our foreign policy experts to decide how he will deal with those who wreak havoc on this world. But deal with them he will.
