Yep... This whole scenario is just a good example of the principalities & powers of this world and how they will abuse you and leave beaten and broken when they are through.
It is also a perfect example of how we, as those who endeavor to be Christ like, should be able to keep the flesh and blood separate from the principalities & power that are running said flesh & blood down a path of destruction.
Flesh and blood should find the ability, in a Christians eyes, to be wrong without being wronged, to be mislead without being mistreated.
I'm not saying that one should sit still and never stand for anything. I am saying that, when a Christian takes a stand, they should always be able to remember that the stand is against the principles and never the person.
(Assuming one is right on any particular subject....)
If someone who actively believes differently than I is destroyed with their message then I can claim, whether rightly or not, that I am a conqueror.
If someone who actively believes differently than I is turned from the principle that was incorrect and yet saved from being destroyed personally... then... I am MORE than a conqueror.
God send Cindy Sheehan someone to minister to her in this brokenness. Someone to help her find an effective grieving process so that she can move on past the tragic loss of her son. God help Cindy find truth, life, and that more abundantly. If Cindy Sheehan is to made a tool... make her a tool of your own Lord... for you are a just and fair taskmaster.
