Here are My Two Thoughts Concerning this Massive Tragedy

1-CHRISTIANS | As my wife is weeping for the slain, our prayers need to rise for these families and community!  Jesus is near to the broken hearted, He bore their sorrows on the cross, and comforts all who call out to Him, Psalm 145:18-19.  Click here for comforting verses for times of grief. 

2-NON CHRISTIANS | This nation is full of vile wickedness, gross perversion, and horrific violence because it has rejected God, period. Repent of your sins before a holy God and “save yourself from this wicked generation!”


Four Things to Consider from the Scriptures at This Time

1-TODAY’S MODERN WORLD IS WICKED | If God does not judge today’s world, He will have to repent to Noah’s generation for they were not even as voilent as modern man.  National genocides in Africa/Germany/Russia (tens of millions murdered), abortions (over 50 million just in the US), and communist & Islamic fascism (China, North Korea, Sudan, Iran, Egypt, etc).      

Genesis 6:5-6, 

5 The Lord saw how great mans wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time.   

6 The Lord was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. 

7 So the Lord said, I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth –men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air–for I am grieved that I have made them.

2-JESUS WILL JUDGE THE WORLD | Jesus said just how it was in Noah’s day (voilent & wicked) and how it was in Sodom’s day (proud & perverted)- it will be in the last days!  Therefore, everyone must prepare for Jesus’ second coming!

Luke 17:26-30, 

26 Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. 

28 It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. 

30 It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

3-THE LAST DAYS WILL BE WORSE THAN ANY PREVIOUS TIME | Paul said in the last days we would see the worst moral behavior ever witnessed upon our planet.  Americans have always had guns, schools, and angry people- but the reason why we’ve never seen anything like what we’re seeing now is because of a dramatic increase in man’s wickedness.

1 Timothy 3:1-4,  

1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self- control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God– 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. 


4-THE GOSPEL IS OUR ONLY HOPE | The Gospel of Jesus Christ is for everyone today, repent of your sins and be saved!  Everyone must admit they are a sinner, believe in Jesus as the Savior who rose from the dead, and confess their sins and Jesus as the Lord of their lives.  

Acts 2:36-40, 

36 Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ. 

37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, Brothers, what shall we do? 

38 Peter replied, Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off –for all whom the Lord our God will call. 

40 With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.
