Is war wrong? Currently, we are at war with terrorists who wish to harm us. Is this war justified? Is it biblically correct? If you are against it now, were you against it then? Should something be done to protect the lives of our families and fellow contrymen?
September 11, 2001 was a tragic day. Almost 3000 people lost their lives that day. For that reason, and for the threat that lumes ahead, we are at war. Lives have been lost in the process. But maybe lives have been saved in the process.
3000. That's a large number for a day.
4000 babies are aborted daily. 40 million since 1973. That's so terrible, I may write my congressman a letter.

My Enemies are men like me
Derek Webb
(vs. 1)
i have come to give you life
and to show you how to live it
i have come to make things right
to heal their ears and show you how to forgive them
(pre-chorus)
because i would rather die
i would rather die
i would rather die
than to take your life
(chorus)
how can i kill the ones i’m supposed to love
my enemies are men like me
i will protest the sword if it’s not wielded well
my enemies are men like me
(vs. 2)
peace by way of war is like purity by way of fornication
it’s like telling someone murder is wrong
and then showing them by way of execution
(pre-chorus)
(chorus)
(bridge)
when justice is bought and sold just like weapons of war
the ones who always pay are the poorest of the poor
nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral question of our time -- the need for man to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to violence and oppression.
Martin Luther King Jr.
