Being from Missouri, I will weigh in. The problems the police are facing are multifaceted and unfortunate.
We are living in an era of intolerance: I'm not talking about racial or sexual intolerance, but I mean intolerance of rules. We have seen multiple political movements taking advantage of current stressors in society, and they all have a goal of political destabilization—on the far left, ANTIFA. On the far right, you have your Bubba groups. They are encouraging the lawless to act out. Riots, violence, looting—basically these are terrorists. The liberal media is telling them THAT is how you get justice, and is not only making it socially acceptable, but are even romanticizing that type of behavior.
But then you have police in a corner. On one hand, the lawless—emboldened by the media—are actively hunting the police. How many officers have been ambushed in the last few months?
On the other hand, "social justice warriors," (it's hard to not throw up saying that,) are busy trying to second guess every decision an officer makes, demonizing them for every action.

As an aside:
Repentance to salvation is not necessarily repentance from Sin… (I mean, unbelief IS sin, but continue reading.) You can repent from your Sin like Judas to good works, (take this money back) you can even repent from your sin to tears like Esau...
Biblical repentance, as illustrated in Hebrews chapter 6 as one of the “first principles of the doctrine of Christ...” is that of repentance from dead works. Admitting that God is right, you are not. Not trying to do good things to merit salvation, but putting faith in Him and His finished work,
Hebrews 6:1
“Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God...”
The key is not simply what you are repenting from... it is what you are repenting to. If it is not to Christ, it is a false salvation. |
