Terror in London

As we have all heard, terrorists placed bombs in the London subway that killed almost 40 people and injured many. The terrorist are the biggest cowards of all, not only do they hide behind women and children to carry out their attacks, they are also not bold enough to do it openly.

They try to intimidate with fear. Fear is their strongest weapon. It is what they have used to oppress their women and children for ages and it is the tool they hope to use in wearing down the western world too. My advice to world leaders and all who desire to see the end of terrorism is stand firm and rebuke this enemy by saying what you mean and meaning what you say. Do not give in to their demands, be firm and resolute. Such callous cowards are not to be appeased by any means, it only strengthens and emboldens them.

Do not let fear of dying or fear of being attacked drive you to attempt to appease the enemy. This enemy can never be appeased. They want it their way or no way else.

The Bible tells us in 2nd Tim. 1:7
For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind"

Fear is of the devil. In dealing with the terrorist, let us not operate out of fear, but out of the spirit of power, love and a sound mind.

There are those who argue that this would neve have happened if we had not gone into Iraq. My question to those people is, what caused the terrorist attacks on :

1 The Navy ship USS Cole on 10/12/00
2. The American embassy in Kenya in 1988
3. The First World Trade Center Bombings in Feb. 19993
4. The World Trade Center Bo,bing on 9/11/01
?

The truth of the matter is terrorist attacks have been going on for a long time and that is because the enemy is trying to get his way through fear. We must not let them.

For those who have lost loved ones in this attack, I pray that God will send His Holy Spirit, the Comforter to bring you comfort in every area where you hurt, comfor that only He can give in Jesus Name. Amen.
