In the news...

I have been having some awesome days the past couple of weeks and I am thankful for that. But today, in the news (I usually don't read or watch the news for this reason), I heard about a man in Alabama that gunned down his family, his neighbors and some innocent bystanders. In all, 10 people lost their life including an 18 mos. old girl and a 15 yr. old boy. A 4 mos. old was also shot, but is recovering. (Her big sister and mother were killed). Then, new headlines came out that a 17 yr. old in Germany shot and killed 15 people at random at the high school he used to attend. All of those lives lost in such a brief time and for what??? Someone's selfish motives? As the world slowly pushes God out, evil is becoming more prevalent. We as Christians have got to take a stand. I am just as guilty as the next guy for not taking a stand. I do not go soul winning enough and I don't witness to people in my everyday life. I needed to read todays articles, perhaps, to become more aware. Christ is the only answer for this sin-sick world. In John 14:6 it says "Jesus saith unto him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father but by me'". My prayer is that I'll stop being lazy and start going soul winning more often. With that said, I will say, God is still on the throne and I am still sooooo thankful to be serving the true God. Praise the Lord for yet another day to serve Him! Have a great day everyone and be thankful for your family and friends.
