The most fruitful event in history |
Devotional Guide
For the week of September 5, 2004
SERVING CHRIST IN WARTIME
The most fruitful event in history
To Read: Psalms 43-45
To Know:
"You will know them by their fruits." (Matt. 7:16)
At 8:42 on the morning September 11th, George W. Bust was an
ex-governor, but the next seven minutes transformed him into the first
wartime president of the 21st century. Between 8:42 and 8:49 President Bush
changed. Some resent those seven minutes and think the leader of the free
world ought to have "shot from the hip."
Leaders need time to radically change course. George Washington
needed the Revolutionary War to change him from the Captain of a Virginia
militia into the Commander-in Chief of the Continental Army. Lincoln needed
the Civil War to change from an Illinois lawyer into one of our greatest
presidents. When Pearl Harbor brought Europe's war to Americas it changed
President Roosevelt. Is seven minutes too long for a president to
contemplate the first war of its kind in human history?
A recent film is designed to discredit President Bush's leadership by
portraying the first seven minutes of a war that may last a century as an
awful failure. The results of those seven minutes tell a different story.
When we attacked Afghanistan, Libyan leader Muammar Kadhafy was terrified
into surrendering his weapons of mass destruction. Hitleresque Saddam
Hussein was deposed. The camp south of Baghdad with the shell of a 747 for
training hijackers was destroyed. Finally, since September 11, 2001 there
have been no further terror attacks on American soil. Judged by the fruit
that came from those seven minutes they may be among the most valuable ever
in our history.
To Do:
Christians are expected to look at a thing, not as it appears, but
according to the fruit that it produces. The single most fruitful event
recorded in history is the cross of Christ that brought salvation to a lost
and dying world.

They will be the undoing of the USA. Credibility has been lost in the
eyes of many nations.
What makes you think that those seven minutes had anything at all to
do with it?
The Iraq war was based on the fruit of lies and fear.
The fruit of it is more dead Americans since the war ended than during
the war. No one is counting the Iraqis.
The fruit is that the whole Arab world is hating America even more
than before.
This 'devotional guide' is nothing short of Bush propaganda.
To Do:
Christians are expected to look at a thing, not as it appears, but
according to the fruit that it produces. The single most fruitful event
recorded in history is the cross of Christ that brought salvation to a lost
and dying world.
And it has nothing to do with George Bush and this exercise in
propaganda.
It is the only light in an otherwise dark devotional cave of bovine
effluence.
According to what you are saying, your words could be reinterpreted
to: The end justifies the means. Don't forget, it was the USA that
armed Saddam Hussein when it suited (not to mention Bin Laden). When
will it ever learn?
Winston Churchill once said: You can always count on Americans to do
the right thing - after they've tried everything else.
