Another U.S. Tragedy
There are many eyes that are filled with tears once again in our country. Hate that was released through violent expression has too many families locked up by sorrow. Daily violence along with these high profile intense outbursts are tearing us apart. This has to be a time for all of us to take a look at the kind of land we have become. There appears to be no tolerance for anything, or anyone that's different. Can't we find common ground around anything any more? I believe one thing that all of us have in common is the sting and pain we feel when death and destruction hit us. Let's not forget the families that are struggling with that right now. We spend so much time evaluating situations and explaining our various positions on issues that we are forgetting how to be human beings. I don't even want to think about "the right to bear arms" verses "gun control" right now. I don't even want to examine Muslim extremism compared to Christian extremism in this moment. My heart just goes out to all of the broken lives that are left to deal with the consequences of another senseless act. May the God of all comfort begin to heal their broken hearts now by His grace and power.
In closing, let me leave a verse to my fellow Christians. Before we jump up on any kind of judgmental high horse please remember we were won by God's goodness, not our own. We have no right to posture ourselves with moral superiority because the perpetrator connected with ISIS. Anyone, including us, that thinks their God calls them to kill and destroy has terribly misunderstood His nature. His loving kindness drew us to Himself. It's His loving kindness that will draw others as well. Selah!
Romans 2:4 (NLT) Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?
