It was announced last night that Osama Bin Laden has been killed by American military forces.
The news this morning showed jubilant crowds in downtown Manhattan, outside the White House, and even in towns near me, cheering, chanting "U.S.A., U.S.A.," and singing the national anthem.
I remember the appalling scenes of Islamic crowds on 9/11 cheering and burning American flags at the news that thousands had been killed in the World Trade Center's destruction. But of course, we all know that satan's spirit of murder and revenge are operative in Islam.
So what do we say at our supposedly-"Christian" nation's celebrations today ? Jesus says our Father "is not willing that any...should perish." (Matthew 18:14) Are American celebrants at Ground Zero today manifesting God's Spirit; or are their hearts led by the same spirit as Moslem celebrants on 9/11 ?
May God forgive us !! May our country repent and follow God !!
