I grew up in the 1950’s. Children were allowed to be children then. I could walk to the park or to the theater, or even downtown. What are kids growing up to now? Maybe the world wasn’t perfect but it was so much better to be that child then.
I hate what I see happening today, especially the past few days. I’m ashamed to say some of the feelings I’ve had against the perpetrators. But then, I think…”there but for the grace of God go I”. We are all capable of doing the things we condemn.
God, how we need Jesus. But, now, some of our leaders protest praying. Some protest God Himself. Some would try to murder Him, too, if He came back in the flesh.
Makes me feel heartsick, depressed, angry, dispirited. But, I have to keep reminding myself that God is sovereign and there will be a day of reckoning, and we who trust Him will be in His loving presence forever.
Thank you Scott. This was very helpful. In the last few days I have heard the comment, “now they have gone too far”. My question is, who are they and them? When did we become the far right or the far left? When did the political parties become such bitter enemies? Aren’t we supposed to be one America ? Even though our views are different, shouldn’t our morals be equal? What has happened to respect? When did politeness and kindness get replaced with rudeness, hate, and entitlement? I am heartsick over this senseless murder of these young people. And justice needs to be administered swiftly and accordingly, but instead of name-calling and threats, shouldn’t we unite and grieve together? Can we turn the tables on these evil acts and let these vile acts become a true “turning point” in our future. This is the prayer of my heart as I weep for families of these innocent victims. I appreciate the wisdom and truth you share. Your words help ground my emotions and serve as a reminder to anchor myself in God’s Word.
This is the sermon that is needed, not just today, but continuously until it sinks in. “This is not okay” and our leaders in the pulpit need to say so. “This is not okay” and our churches need to review these foundational truths and teach them.

WOW! Thank you for putting this into words... I'll be sharing this one...
Yes to all of that! Thanks Brother.
Thanks, Scott. This is so helpful.
Thank you for your words!🙏

Thank you. Please keep speaking truth.
Well said, and Amen.
Oh, Scott. Can’t agree more. Yet can’t—because the word “like” just doesn’t fit the moment—just click on the cute little heart. Praying.
