This
is from a couple of dear friends who had to share their thoughts in regards to
what happened Friday in Newton, CT.
"I am absolutely and completely saddened. Unfathomable.
Painful. Dreadful. An expression of evil that has few parallels. It is wrong to
minimize the tragedy with the cheap politics of "Gun control." We do
not have a gun problem. We have a heart problem. There is no control for
outright evil run amuck... It is also wrong to not have a conversation as a
society about what makes us civil. About how we treasure and value life, rather
than devaluing it. HOWEVER, for now, let us stand with the families who have lost
and allow them the time to grieve. Let us stand with Law Enforcement, as they
seek to unravel what has happened. The time for punditry, reflection, and
common sense evaluation will come ... but that time is not now. May the God of
peace grant comfort to those who feel none right now."

This Connecticut tragedy just has the media playing the
"broken record" of "where was God?" Absolutely floors me
that a culture that for the most part has attempted to ban God from nearly
every facet of life, has the audacity to ask "where was God" when
that culture's people act ungodly. Seems to me, folks in the media want enough
of God to protect them and make them secure, but not enough of Him that they
might actually have to honor and obey Him. Our society has basically told God,
"GET OUT! We don't want you around our kids, our government (that was
based on his laws), or our daily life. Wait...something bad happened; God where
were you?!?!"

Hagee said it the best with the following:
How can we as a nation stop this madness? What have we done as a
nation that has produced six mass killings in the past five years? It's time to
admit America has a moral and spiritual sickness that will not cure itself. Our
"Hope for Tomorrow" begins with rational decisions today that guarantee a new
direction for our nation. We have expelled God from our schools, dismissed Him
from our lives and many churches are nothing more than secular pep rallies with
a psychobabble substituting for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
"How
did all of this happen?" you ask? Let me tell you not only how, but when it
did. It occurred the very moment, we allowed an individual named Madeline
Murray O'Hare, an avowed Atheist, to successfully convince our courts, to
prohibit Bible reading and prayer within our public schools, in 1963. We no
longer value life on ANY level, and the ACLU, has now gotten involved in
removing God from EVERY aspect of our lives, including the Public Square! From
the moment we kicked God out of the schoolhouse, courthouse, and even the
public square, our society has become a battleground, and the end result, is
our children our suffering for it. So, next time a tragedy like Newtown
happens, DON'T ask God where He was, and ask
where YOU put God??
