As years and decades continue, the world gets further away from the Bible, following God, or making logical sense. This was seen again last week with another school shooting, this time in Texas.
At this point, 19 children and 2 adults were killed with around a dozen more in the hospital. The kids were second graders along with their teachers. Even though this is not the first such tragedy, and likely not the last, it's very hard to see. I grieve with the families while politicians use it for political gain and news outlets repeat details and point fingers at who should have done what.
The same day the nation was in shock about this school, thousands of children were legally killed in their mother's wombs. Unfortunately, much of this happens every day with no news reports or memorials given for the victims. Losing a child at any stage, from fertilization, to grade school, through high school, is a tragedy that should not go unnoticed.
In the 1800's, new theories were developed saying the earth was developed slowly and not by God. Charles Darwin built upon this with his evolution model explaining life as an accident and it just formed on its own. Generations of school children have now been taught this and the result is that life is no longer sacred, either in the womb, or according to some, at any point.
This Memorial Day weekend, many families are remembering loved ones that have died. The nation also remembers those that have fought in the armed forces and lost their life in the effort to ensure freedom. I pray that these lives, and the cause they died for, will also not be forgotten.
I would encourage everyone to not only reflect on close relatives that have been lost, but also for those who have died early in life due to the actions of others. Ultimately, we need to remember God is in control and when a nation has turned its back on Him, we will see such actions. Hopefully this week goes well, and God's Word will continue to spread.
