That statement started me thinking about what our world is doing, they are removing God from the for front and placing us in the place of God. We need to be watchful of this, we need to be careful not to give into such talk, because soon God will be removed altogether and we will wonder what happened to Him. Just like we are becoming desensitized to Christ being removed from Christmas, He is the reason for the season, not Santa or any other reason, it is Jesus Christ, the one who came to earth to save us from ourselves, to give us peace, so that we could give it to other. We are God's mirrors, we are to be like Jesus, not be like the world.
In John 14:27 it says: "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." Jesus said Peace I leave you, peace I give you, so that is a gift from God. There is no question about that, but yet here on the 6 o'clock evening news this statement flashes before my eyes, saying that God didn't give it to us, it is what we give each other. The above statement contradicts the Bible, the word of God. We need to be watchful of this.
2 Timothy 3:1-9 "But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive,disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds,who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.."

1 Peter 5:8 says "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour."
