At the pay window: "The lady in the car just ahead of you has paid for your food."

That same thing happened to me previously I think about 4 - 5 months ago at
the same Bojangles.

That's about $50.00 to me from I guess total strangers.

Ah, there are moments of human kindness everywhere throughout America each
and every day.

Ultimately in the end it is Love and Kindness and Compassion that wins the
War For The World.

YES of course . . . .

. . . it was LOVE that fought and won World War 2 that saved God's people from
the horrors of German Nazism and Italian Fascism and Japanese Imperialism --

HOWEVER . . .

WAR cannot fix the world.

WAR only has the power to stop evil.

To STOP evil from STOPPING the proclamation of the gospel.

The gospel is what fixes the world:

The power of the:
* Cross (defeated Sin so we can now be saved from Sin)
* Resurrection (defeated Death so now we can be saved from Death and never die)
* Ascension (the power of "I go to My Father")
* Exaltation (the power of NOW being seated at the right hand of God Almighty
who is a Warrior "The LORD is a Warrior" Exodus 15:3)

THAT ↑ is what fixes the world.

Yes indeed. It is LOVE that ultimately wins The War For The World.

"Now these three remain: Faith, Hope and Love. But the greatest of these is
Love." 1 Cor. 13:13

Depends on who wins the war!

Back in ww2 the concensus of society was broadly Christian, today society is anti Christian, so any war would not be motivated by Christian ideals.

The Sovereign God has a master plan to gradually incrementally
Christianize the world and He uses wars, among other things, to
accomplish His master plan. It is the Sovereign God that both starts
and ends wars to accomplish His predestined goals. Even wars that
appear to us to be wars that ought not to have been fought (eg Vietnam,
Iraq) were predestined wars to carry out God's purposes. Eph. 1:11
(God's purposes and plans are beyond human understanding)
