A patron of our community visited with me last week about the random school shootings across the United States. She has concerns about the troubles of society. How can a man after twenty years of anger and hostility decide to take out all his frustrations on innocent little girls by shooting them one by one in the head?
Evan talked a few weeks ago about that aspect of inner peace that can only be found in Christ.
Would that individual that decided to shoot the Amish girls acted any different if Christ was that inner peace in his life? Would that man that shot and sexually assaulted the girls in Colorado acted differently if he had enjoyed living a Christian life? Would the boy have shot the principal in Wisconsin if he had been active in a youth group with other Christian young people?
I would say we wouldn’t be discussing these evil acts if they would have found Jesus.
We cannot keep our schools 100% safe. We can’t make our shopping malls, airplanes, and skyscrapers 100% safe in a world that has been impacted by Satan and worldly lusts and desires.
All we can do is keep preaching the Good News about Jesus and the true peace He offers all those that accept Him as Lord of their lives.
