Check up from the neck up? Perhaps we all need a check up on our values. What do they value? Who are they? Those that would destroy anyone who does not believe according to them? If we go back centuries, it seems one could argue that Christian values were imposed on them. I thought we had progressed as a modern society past that point of total intolerance for the belief of others. Now, it seems the pendulum is swinging back to isolation of beliefs, ideology and enforcement of values at all cost.
As we watch in horror the tragic events in Paris, may we unite with them to fight for our values and freedom. This is indeed a fight for our values to gather as we are encouraged to do so in Hebrews 10: 24-25 to love and do good deeds. But now we are threatened by those who want to change our beliefs violently. May we persevere to hold true to our values and beliefs.
Do not stop meeting together with other believers and let us keep our values our values. Enjoy my brief message on the current events and let us do a value check up from the neck up.
