The Heart of the Problem

TODAY’S NEWS: While the U.S. mourns the tragic and senseless loss of life in Newtown, Conn, CHINA seeks to recover from a stabbing spree that hurt 22 schoolchildren and one adult outside a primary school in central China as students were arriving for classes Friday, police said, the latest in a series of periodic rampage attacks at Chinese schools and kindergartens. http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2012/12/14/china-knife-attack-school.html

Matthew 15:19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander. 20 These are what defile a person.

The problem in America, China or anywhere else is not access to guns or knives; according to Jesus, the heart of the problem is the problem of the heart. It is not some “sickness”; call it what it is – it is EVIL in the heart of man – – my heart, your heart… our neighbor’s heart.

There is only one solution: THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST.

Lets be praying for the families and friends of the victims, as well as for the children traumatised by the events of the day. May God have mercy and bring His comfort.

And may God bless America with repentance.
