Yesterday was another day where our nation was devastated by another campus shooting, a story that has become all too common over the past several years. This episode was followed by a photo opportunity for the President of the United States to come before the people with a message of gun control.
I too have a sadness for these victims and their families but do not believe that gun control laws are effective or even constitutional in many cases. The problem is of the human heart. As the Bible tells us we are a fallen people, fallen to sin. In this country we have devastated our morality, diminished our faith, and dealt a death blow to the traditional family.
When will someone have the courage to say enough is enough? We CANNOT continue in this way. We MUST reclaim the spiritual foundations this country was founded upon. The Founding Fathers were absolutely not perfect men, but most, if not all, had a profound respect for God. Until we firm up the institution that is the home, the foundation of a thriving civilization, and move away from humanism, atheism, and selfish moral relativism we will not see progress.
We as Christians have to take the lead in our homes, and band together within our churches, to start this spiritual renewal. Let us clean up these two great and God-given bodies, recognizing our shortcomings, and setting our houses in order that we might be able to stand like Joshua saying, "as for me and my house we will serve the Lord." Unless or until we see this type of spiritual renewal, situations like we saw yesterday will continue to be prominent in the news.
"Choose you this day who you will serve." Remember to put yourselves in His hands, because with God we will. . . Make a difference.
