Public Safety

Moving forward toward public safety is on our minds. How do we get to a place where our children are reasonably safe in public?

The line between crazy violent behavior and civility is pretty thin. It doesn't take as much as we might think to push some over the line into murderous behavior.

We push more and more people to the edge by exulting faulty attitudes and beliefs. (Belief leads to action. Actions are generated by belief.) Our hearts have grown hard toward the value of human life. The causes are varied. Killing - from pretend to the pre-born - has become a way of life. "Will to power," since according to atheistic Nietzsche, there is nothing else. But "will to power" minus love/truth, plus a gun, equals a bloodbath.

This last killing nightmare occurred on Valentine's day. Of all days. The "shedding of innocent blood" is such a hate-filled, hard-hearted action. Have we encouraged a culture that laughs at love and values bitter viciousness?

We need a powerful supernatural intervention that draws us toward God through Christ. Our hardened hearts need to be tenderized. We need the love of God to be poured into our hearts. Let's ask the Father of us all to compel us and our neighbors, with His love, to come to Him.
