I've watched with sadness and listened with pain in my heart over the senseless and brutal actions of the young man who went on a killing rampage yesterday at Virginia Tech. Many people are trying to make sense of it all and will continue to debate how one could be so cold and heartless as to do such a thing. To be honest with you, these things will only increase in the days ahead. The Apostle Paul said to Timothy, 2 Tim 3:11 "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come." We can expect that evil will continue to increase, and when you add to it that in this country, we've pretty much written off God from being part of our society. When we teach our children that 'doing right' and 'morality' is whatever you make it, what more can we expect? When we so senselessly take the lives of over a million unborn babies a year, for the sake of convenience, the message we send is that human life isn't dear nor is it precious. When we've removed the ability to pray in school, let alone teach the Bible, which would teach men and women to respect human life, and to fear God, what should we expect the consequences to be? That's not to say that evil still wouldn't raise its ugly head from time to time, but common sense teaches us that when we promote mass killing in our video games, and show cold hearted, thoughtless murder on television and in the movies, impressionable minds will be effected, add into the mix that there is a very real enemy lurking around, Satan, who wants nothing more than to be mayhem, destruction and death, then we've created a stew of sorts, that can produce anything, including cold hearted killers bent on wreaking as much pain and death as possible. And this will not go away, not as long as Satan is allowed to move around unrestrained, and we give him ample room to operate and tools to use by our ungodly actions within the mainstream media, Hollywood, and our very lives. It's time we wake up to the fact that we've got a real dilemma and its this, America is not the Christian nation we claim to be, our pastors and teachers aren't preaching the full Gospel as they should, and people need to place God back at the forefront of their lives again! And that my friends is the reality of it!
