The Spirit of Lawlessness which was from the beginning permeates this land. The inhabitants therein have embraced the sweet whispers of its deceit to the detriment of justice. The decline of civility, the unwillingness to mediate differences, the mean spirited rhetoric, refusal to obey laws, violence as a means to control others. Lawlessness prospers as society is torn asunder. Where are the Righteous? Oftentimes, they are leading the charge towards destruction. What happened to the “message of reconciliation?” If the Church is infected, what hope is there for a nation as it falls from Grace? Beloved, what will end this misery? We already know; yet, we still are unwilling to do. Where love is absent hate will always thrive! By Ron Levi
