not of Christ

the horrific stories and images coming out of Norway have a terrible underlying story as well.  quoting a report from CNN ...

Norwegian television and newspaper reports have identified the suspect as 32-year-old Anders Behring Breivik.
Official sources and social media indicate that Breivik might be a right-wing Christian fundamentalist who may have had an issue with Norway's multi-cultural society.  CNN: Norway report 07/23/11


if this report is true and these are indeed the convictions of this assailant, then the sadness is only multiplied for he not only fails to understand and represent Jesus, but he will also be guilty of causing so much unbelief.


"But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you.  They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.  Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute." 2 Peter 2:1-2 (NIV)


Pray for the victims' families and this country now in shock; pray for the Church in Norway to rise up and display a true witness of Christ in this terrible time; and let us all be ready to represent Christ truthfully in word and life.
