Pastor’s Corner by Donnie Shumate, pastor of Bethel Baptist Church

The Answer to World Strife

The world today is a very scary place. We have threats of nukes from N. Korea , and the ongoing strife in the Middle East. We wonder why ?  We ask ourselves,  why can’t humanity just “Co-Exist” with each other? The answer to this question boggles the minds of the most brilliant men.

Yet there  is a reason the worlds unrest, strife and violence. Mans sins are the root of all his troubles. Now this may seem to many people  a generic responce from a Christian Pastor, yet sin is the very root of all the troubles of humanity.  In every circumstance of life, from the White House, to our house,  from North Korea to Iran ,the  issue of  sin is the trouble with mankind. 

We should pray for our leaders, and for one another . Keep your eye upon the eastern sky, lift up your head, redemption drawth nigh!  There is hope today, Jesus is coming soon!
