Conflicts and Wars.
This is a part of the human condition Sin, it leads us to do what we want to without considering the outcome at a later point. Humanity has always had the problem of disagreements from the family tiff to political, religious rows. Usally someone has offered their services of mediations and this has calmed the situation down.
But as we have seen on our televisons recently many lands are going through various phases of Revoloutions, with horrible violence. It is almost always the woman and children that suffer in these situations. Apart from the Arab Spring, the world is seening rioting and terror in Venuzuela, Thailand, Bosnia, Turkey and now the Ukraine.
Many of these conflicts have a deep rooted Sectarianism to them, which the Media is desperatly trying to hide from us with other names. Despite all of this as believers in Jesus, we have to push on through showing no favoritism. Instead we need to pray for a resolve quicly and a restoration of elected government.
