"It is a great tragedy that our culture seems to produce so many deeply troubled people who express their frustration in violence. We forgive the assailant and we rededicate ourselves to serving young people in the hope that we might bring healing to other needy youth." - Peter Warren, the Director of Youth with a Mission Denver, in response to the murder of two YWAM staff over the weekend when a lone gunman entered the YWAM branch and opened fire. for the YWAM press release, visit ywam.org. he is right on target with his first sentence. it is a shame that our culture creates this. yet, what are we as Christians doing to fight against it? what's it going to take? unfortunately, i fear it is going to take God destroying America. and you know what? because I am so sick of what this nation has become, that politics of the church in america, and the fact that christians aren't doing anything and are comfortable, I WELCOME IT. don't get me wrong, I love this country and hope that none of that ever has to happen.....but God is a just God. pray for the staff at YWAM, the families of those killed, and the other 2 who were wounded. later the next day, that same gunman oppened fire at a church and killed a 16 year old girl and an 18 year old girl, wounded their father, and others. surely we can make a change. LET US BE THE REMEMDY! |
