Why terrorists don't scare me

Here's the reason that stories like the following link don't scare me. (Hat-tip to LaShawn Barber for the most obvious headline ever.)

Second Attack on London Stirs Worries

But there are no worries here, because I know how life on this earth ends for me. From 1 Thessalonians, chapter 4:

13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Scott sent me those verses in an email a couple of weeks ago when I was having a bout of severe anxiety - no matter what happens in this life, if you know Christ as Savior, then that is how your time on earth will end. And nothing that the Devil can dish out - no terrorist plots, nothing - can change the promise that God made to His followers all of those years ago. He that is in me is greater than he that is in the world. And I am so thankful for that.
