1 Timothy 2 New International Version (NIV) Instructions on Worship
2 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. ------------------------------------------------
God, what is your purpose in allowing the slaughter of 27 human beings, including 20 five to ten-year-olds? Enough of this crap. We're sick of it. We're sick of living in a world where precious young lives are gunned down, are abused, die from hunger, are kidnapped, are sold. What is your purpose in all of this? They had their whole lives before them. Why must you tarry? Why must this go on, century after century? You are the potter, I am the clay.....but for the love of Pete, could we move on to chapter 2?
