When will it end?

Our hearts go out today to the Virginia Tech family as we witness this horrific act perpetrated on their campus. It is hard for most people to imagine what would drive someone to commit an act like this. One can only guess that the perpetrator was filled with rage and hatred as well as a probable sense of the meaninglessness of life.

What I will say is that we in our country are reaping the whirlwind. We have propagated the lie that human beings are nothing but the product of blind random chance. We have shown a cavalier disregard for human life by continued aborting of thousands of babies daily. We have been set adrift morally claiming that we cannot be certain about truth. We are reaping the results of moral relativism.

Do we really think that we can teach people that they are nothing more than the products of time and chance and think that they will retain their hope? Do we really think that we can continue killing unborn babies and expect people to think that they have intrinsic value? Can we sever the ties to any objective moral code (i.e. the Ten Commandments) and expect that people will act with justice toward one another? Certainly this criminal is solely responsible for his/her own actions. However, it is time we wake up to the fact that we are raising up a whole generation of hopeless young people and we need to reverse course.

These events should serve as a wake-up call to America. Ideas have consequences! Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. There is no hope except in Him! Wake Up America!

We are praying for Virginia Tech. Today, all Americans are Hokies.
