Do the sins of others sadden you? (News)

If you read Habakkuk 1:1-4, you'll see how sad he is at the sins of others even though he's not personally suffering. And that is a mark of one's desire that God be glorified - and thus - love for God... let's repent of our lack of love for God and thank him that he's forgiven us because of Jesus.

That said, a few news items -

Two teenagers make a bong (for weed) out of a human skull.

That guy that kept his daughter in the cellar and raped her repeatedly is saying he's sorry; he was wrong. How should we respond? How much are his apologies playing on your emotions?

This is what happens when we start saying 'God told me' and are referring to something that Scripture does not say or define. Sick.

Witches are protesting the war in Iraq! I think I'm won over. Quite convincing behavior...

And finally, I'm glad that we can be honest and say that statistics and pragmatism are more reliable than God's word when it comes to how we should behave sexually. Forget about the fact that you have no basis for believing in statistics or have any basis for even defining happiness without the Scriptures.
