I don’t want to preach from the newspaper, but last week’s message was a prophetic prelude
I want to respond, not to the events, but to the need of the present moment.

We Have ‘Christ in Us, the hope of Glory’
“Christ in Us” is the Gift that Jesus Bestowed on Us
“Christ in Us” Reveals Christ and His Word to us
“Christ in Us” Will form Christ in us

How do we become the “fragrance of Christ”
Becoming one who overcomes evil with good
Entering a World of Fear, Anger and Hate
First - Do not give in to Fear, If angry – don’t sin, do not let hatred take root in you
The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate.
So it goes.
Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
