“”I came to cast fire on the earth, and would that it were already kindled! I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how great is my distress until it is accomplished! Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.””

All,
This stands out because Jesus says, “Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.” If a Christian stands by their beliefs, the world will grow very divided around them. Notice, with every strife, there is a element of man wanting to be in control and man wanting God to be in control. Please pray that we and our friends are about God being in control of us. Please pray for the victims of Hurricane Florence.
