The world we live is seems to become more wicked by the hour. The evil is so pervasive that you can almost feel it surrounding you. Its as though God Himself has had enough and has just turned Satan loose to do what he will.
Cases in point, in addition to the cannibalism in the Congo are the determination of evil men to take the life of Terri Schiavo, and the unchecked child kidnapping and sex-trade that flourishes within our country and throughout the world.
Many of us who support Terri and her parents' quest to keep her from being murdered by court order have prayed without ceasing for God's intervention. Even if Terri's life is not spared in answer to prayers rising from over the world, I would think that God's answer to such prayers is to open our eyes to once unimaginable evils extant in our society and to actively rise up against them while yet bowing before Him in prayer.
Much agree.
