VA Tech

It would almost seem sacrilegious of me to ignore the recent tragedies at VA Tech, but quite honestly, so much has been said in the blogosphere that I think I'll refrain from joining the throng, reiterating and parroting what so many have already said.

These are moments when we all seem to be eager to proclaim the world's problems, or the solution to the world's problems, - indeed I have a lot of things I could and would say about crime, criminals, guns, gun control, leftists, and many other things.

But they've all been said before. I'll let it rest for now.

One thing, though, I must say. The problem is not that there are too many guns, or too few guns. The problem is that America has been destroying the one and only foundation that can provide a country and society with integrity and stability: The foundation of faith in an all-seeing, all-powerful God, Who is the Provider and Sustainer of mankind.

That is why there are criminals, that is why there are cowards, that is why over 30 people were murdered last week.

You won't fix the problem by giving people guns or by taking guns away. Only faith in God will give a people the integrity and courage to defend the defenseless, to protect the vulnerable, to prevent incidents such as we saw last week.


We can pray after these things happen, and indeed, everyone seems to do so, but it does a country no good to become a praying nation only for funerals. Maybe this would be a good time to keep on praying.
