Fort Hood Shootings 4/2/14

Another shooting incident in progress this afternoon at Fort Hood in Texas. Only time will reveal all the tragic details, but ultimately the cause of this and all other evil events in our world originate in the hearts of men....

Mark 7:21-22

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

 

You most likely won't hear this identified as the root cause of this shooting incident. Guns, socio-economic conditions, education, poverty, and politics, and psychology - yes. But the truth from the word of God - no.

 

So what's the solution? Only God can change the evil hearts of men. That's why Jesus came, lived a perfect life, died on the cross, was buried, and rose again 3 days later. So he could set us free from our own selves....

 

2 Corinthians 5:17 

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

 

We pray for everyone involved at Fort Hood. And, I pray that many, many people will wake up to the reality & cause of evil, and come to Jesus Christ, while they still can...come to Jesus as I have come, in repentance & faith, to receive the gift of forgiveness & eternal life.

 

Will you come? Or, if you have already received that wonderful gift, will you tell others?

 

Maranatha,

Paul
