Orlando Church Offers Prayer, Privacy to Governor, First Responders in Wake of Nightclub Terror

In the wake of the tragedy in Orlando, this article is the posture of Christians around America! Love and compassion is what we do best.

Terrorism is Not Hate

"Terrorism has its roots in politics... Not hate." I suggest you read the first three paragraphs of this article. I think it is an excellent explanation that would make great discussion around your family circle.

In the clash of words flying in the media, it is so easy to get lost in the emotions of terrorism. I believe this is happening to our millennial generation as the indoctrination from the radical left is grabbing hold of their hearts. We must as believers constantly learn to see and discern what is really going on here! This is not about emotions!

"...an effort at misdirection. The problem with Obama's conduct isn't that naming radical Islam would solve the problem. Of course, it wouldn't solve the problem. The issue is that the refusal to name radical Islam is part of the problem. Obama's refusal speaks to the mindset at work in the White House about the threat we face."
