How Do We Tell The Good Guys From The Bad Guys?

Picture
The ranchers against the federal government illuminates the tip of the iceberg of confusion, anger, and discontent in this country.  The lack of objective reporting makes it difficult to analyze the issues and know who is right and who is wrong. Unfortunately, governmental leaders have created an atmosphere of distrust among the people they have been called to serve.  This results in volatile situations which typically do not end well.  The case in point looks to be repeating past precedent. 

In another example the taking of life is celebrated by many supporters of Planned Parenthood.  Instead of being prosecuted for murder and the selling of body parts, Planned Parenthood is exonerated and honored.  The individuals connected with exposing the atrocities of Planned Parenthood are instead targeted for indictment.  Really?  The conflict of interest in the prosecuting attorney's office is extraordinary if reports by LifeNews.com are accurate.  LifeNews.com reports that Lauren Reeder is a prosecutor in the Harris County District Attorney’s criminal family law division, and is listed as a non-compensated Director on the 990 Tax Form for 2014 filed by Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast.  No conflict of interest there, right?  Once again, who are the bad guys and who are the good guys in this travesty?


Romans 8: 26 reminds us that we don't know how to pray as we ought.  I am finding that passage more and more relevant in these days of strife and confusion.  I am going to trust the "inexpressible groanings" of the Holy Spirit on my behalf.  In addition to praying for an increase of the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love, I sometimes just want to pray for some good-ole common sense for our world.
