Isaiah 1:17 NIV

“Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.”

As the bible warned us, we are in perilous times. Here in the U.S. we see tragedy after tragedy with gun violence. Violence of all kinds portrayed on television so that these awful things are common place to us. This is a sad state of affairs.

Many solutions have been put forth by many different groups. However, talking fails, but actions speaks volumes. The child of God must lead by example. We have to do right and seek justice for all. We must live the life of love – always.

Love does what is right, even when it is easier to do wrong. We have to defend the oppressed. We can’t allow acts of injustice to go unchallenged. But we must always walk and act in love.

More importantly, we must teach the next generation to show the love of Christ in everything they say and do. This is how we live through and lessen the occurrence of these terrible tragedies.

Stay prayerful and be blessed.
