“And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.” Nehemiah 9:17, KJV
“The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

Be advised that the purpose of this group of images is NOT to instigate a gun debate. In fact, the gun debate is OFF TOPIC. Period. Online debate is not what I am about. If you disagree with my Bible-based position, then according to your faith. This series of graphics is simply about trusting in the Lord above everything and everyone else. The questions theses graphics ask are rhetorical, and do NOT require a response.
“Foolishness of Trusting in the Arm of Flesh” KJV Bible Verse List:
We all have our moments when we doubt,
We question what our life is all about.
Even as Christians we at times despair,
Our prayer unanswered, is God up there?
As we grow older, our beliefs may wane,
Has our faith just been all in vain?
Not a miracle seen, no signs anywhere,
The world in a mess, doesn’t God care?
It can be so hard to trust in God above,
And keep on believing in His great love.
In our weakness we want proof He’s real,
But for His reasons, God remains still.
The Prophets gave signs, Apostles too,
And that is how folks of old all knew.
But today God works in a different way,
Demanding we have faith, day by day.
Trusting in His Word, we must believe,
Only this way, Salvation we’ll receive.
So even though at times it may be hard,
Keep on fighting till that final yard.
Resist your doubts, keep pressing in,
And by God’s Grace you will surely win.
While all of the verses in this set of graphics are discussing the ancient, stubborn, rebellious Israelites who repeatedly backslid against the Lord, and fell into deep apostasy, they could just as easily be talking about modern America, or any other modern nation which has heard the Gospel, and yet continues in rebellion against the Lord and His holy Word. Repent, because your day of reckoning is coming!
