Baltimore is burning because community organizers and various thugs are tearing the city apart in the aftermath of the strange death of a young black man who was in the custody of police and President Obama is trying to make things worse.
In an incredible non-coincidence the rioting follows a weekend rally by the Occupy Wall Street-like Baltimore Peoples Assembly. There also was a first wave of rioting over the weekend. Outside activists have been flooding into Baltimore, according to reports. Police and civilians have been injured. A CVS store was looted and set on fire. Rioters chopped up fire hoses to prevent firefighters from doing their job. Criminal gangs have declared open season on cops. Rioters have been throwing cinder blocks, bricks, and other objects at police. And there arent enough cops to go around. Baltimore police are begging police officers in other states to come to Baltimore to help out. Schools are closed Tuesday.
Baltimore is now a war zone. Understandably, the Baltimore Orioles announced on Twitter at 6:20 last night that the game with the Chicago White Sox scheduled for 7:05 had been postponed. After Democrats dawdled, Marylands new Republican Gov. Larry Hogan acted last night, activating the Maryland National Guard in an attempt to restore order.

Jesus gave an important warning to those who will hear His voice in Matthew 24. He said that one of the dangers to Christians in the last days is that our hearts will grown cold (i.e. bitter, hateful, vengeful) because of lawlessness in the last days. The only cure is to remember the cross of Jesus Christ and how He paid for the sins of people like us.
Jesus said that there is no greater love then to lay ones life down for friends. However Jesus Christ's love is even greater! He laid down His life for us when we were his enemies (Romans 5). These fools in Baltimore, and the schemers in Washington that fan their flames, don't really know what they are doing. Satan has blinded their eyes so that they do not realize the eternal consequences of their actions.
When you pray for your enemies, you are actually doing your own heart good...
The watchmen are few, which is why so many are perplexed at these vexing times. We shouldn’t be surprised since Christ talked about it long ago.
The Homies are restless....
Lawlessness will keep increasing. There are millions of angry people without jobs just looking for something to burn.
Th persecution of the church will keep increasing for the words of Jesus Christ will not be silenced under satan’s agenda, such as the political power of homosexuals.
Ann Barnhardt had an interesting post on her site today regarding “the times.”
She suggests that the Chinese proverb about interesting times might get ironically all too real here in the US.
Ping to a Barnhardt post that mentions someone named Matt Bracken (see post #7).
