.Your Mind


The human mind is the most important aspect of our being. How we think and what we think determines our behavior and our deeds or accomplishments in life - even our eternal state. Our character is the personality that others experience when interacting with us. This character is a derivative of our mind and our very thoughts. As Christians we are to be transformed into the likeness of the mind and character of Jesus Christ.
The bible and especially the New Testament teach that we are responsible for the state of our mind and how our mind applies itself to the problems and challenges of life.

Infiltration of separatist militants into the Indian-administered Kashmir

A senior U-S diplomat says the infiltration of separatist militants into the Indian-administered Kashmir region must stop.

One day after 34 people died in a militant attack in Indian-administered Kashmir, a senior U-S diplomat says the infiltration of separatist militants into the region must stop.

V-O-A's Jim Teeple reports from our New Delhi Bureau.

Senior Indian officials say they will retaliate for the killings.

Assistant Secretary of State Christina Rocca says the killings in Kashmir were designed to undermine any chance for peace and stability in the region.

On Tuesday, militants attacked a bus and an army camp, killing soldiers and civilians, including family members of army personnel at a base about 15 kilometers south of Jammu, the winter capital of India's Jammu and Kashmir State.

Speaking in New Delhi, Wednesday -- shortly before she departed to Pakistan for talks with President Pervez Musharraf -- Ms. Rocca said the infiltration of separatist militants into Indian Kashmir from Pakistan-controlled territory must stop.

Infiltration is counterproductive and must stop. Terrorism is something that is unacceptable, no matter where it is -- whether it is in India, Pakistan or in the United States.

Pakistani officials have condemned Tuesday's attack and have rejected Indian allegations that Pakistan supports militants who carry out attacks inside Indian Kashmir.

Indian officials stepped up their criticism of Pakistan, Wednesday.

Defense Minister George Fernades says Pakistan is -- in his words -- "directly responsible for the attack."

All that I can say at this point is that it is a situation that calls for punishment. What that punishment should be needs to be deliberated upon. But we cannot certainly have this kind of terror go unpunished.

Speaking in parliament, Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee said an all-party of meeting of India's political parties will address the issue. Mr. Vajpayee called the Tuesday's killings a heinous crime and said India will have to retaliate for them.

India and Pakistan are in the fifth month of a military standoff, with hundreds of thousands of troops massed along their common border. The crisis was sparked last December, after suspected Islamic militants attacked India's parliament.

Secretary Rocca said the United States will continue to encourage India and Pakistan to try and settle their differences through dialogue. She also says Washington is deeply concerned about the level of tension between the two nations.

 		World events are historic steps in the purpose and plan of God. The outcome of history is up to man - restricted only by sovereign limits imposed by God. The future events are consequences resulting from mankind exercising the gift of intelligence and free will in response to situations developing from past events. This human response is either synchronized to His Will or in rebellion to His Will. Behavior is either the manifestation of love or it's opposite - hate. As Christians we should be involved through loving (caring attitude and behavior for others) actions empowered by prayer, understanding, and submission to His Will.
