"Fight The Good Fight"

Recently, there was an accident in a street in Detroit. A child was hit by a car. The driver stopped and got off the car. He was beaten by a group of men. A letter was written to a news outlet.regarding the incident. I was in agreement with the letter because the writer spoke of the need for God's intervention in these matters. Here is part of my response. "You are correct. Prayer has been taken out of schools. Ungodly conduct is rapidly making an effort to become the norm. The people of God have a big fight on their hands. They have a great responsibility. We must “fight the good fight.” It is detailed in Ephesians 6:10-18. Yes, thuggery can seriously be curtailed, but it will take seriously devoted men and women of God who are willing to make the effort. With God anything is possible. We have the goods. We are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. For now, we can pray for those young folks who attacked that man, as well as their victim. Also, I commend those Pastors and others who are making efforts to address these problems. The underlying problem is sin. John 3:16 is a good start."
