Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. – Psalm 23:4 (ESV)

This past week it was disturbing to hear about another beheading of an innocent person by the ISIS terrorists. That person’s name is Alan Henning and he is from Britain. He is the father of two children, and he was on his fourth aid mission to Syria when he was captured.

The actions by ISIS are pure evil. They must be stopped. I pray that God will give the leaders of our country and those with us in the anti-ISIS coalition the wisdom needed to defeat this evil.

There are six things the Lord hates. There are seven things he cannot stand: a proud look, a lying tongue, hands that kill innocent people, a mind that thinks up evil plans, feet that are quick to do evil, a witness who lies, and someone who starts arguments among families. – Proverbs 6:16-19 (NCV)
