World Out Of Control?

Some very important words from the message at my church this past weekend: "Revolution comes through HONOR, not through protest!" I reflect on those words, and I remember the riots in Los Angeles recently when a group of youths were not permitted into a movie premier, and I think about the current situation in London, and the "flash mobs" in Philly. Are we a world out of control? Are our young people so concerned about themselves that they don't see what they are doing to others? I am truly concerned for our future if this is how people are acting...full of selfishness and desire for instant gratification! Destroying the property of innocent people and hurting innocent people is not the answer! Revolution through HONOR!!! We need to teach the generations how to respectfully voice their concerns. A protest or riot is not going to make the powers that be listen to you any more than a phone call, email, or letter to the office of the organization you have an issue with. As a matter of fact, respectfully voicing your concerns has a better chance of action than running crazy! All these riots are going to do is cause greater tension between those who truly understand the issue and the powers that be.
