depraved is this world...that is what kept me up last night.
even though i probably should have stayed home today to rest,
i decided to go to santa ana. so, as you can imagine, i tried my
best to get as much sleep as possible last night. but, like usual,
i spent most of my time before actually falling asleep thinking
and reflecting. which caused me to stay up an extra two hours.
what did i think about? how i was going to approach the homeless
and how i could use the recent tragedies as a springboard to the
gospel. it's been all over the news and within all of our prayers.
and the entire nation is asking why such horrible things happen.
i wouldn't claim to know exactly what drove a person to murder
those children, but i do know that God has allowed this to happen.
how quick are the skeptics to conclude that either God is not all-
powerful or that He simply does not care. and how quick are they
to look at the murderer and claim that he is more evil than they are.
yes, it is still a time of grief- it may take years even for some to
move on- but let's not waste this moment to merely watch more
of the world burn down. if there could be any explanation, i would
say that it simply boils down to the depravity of man. in light of
this event, we see a picture of how enslaved to sin the natural man
is and how much in need he is for a Savior. and we also see how
sick the mind of the devil is- i can't wait to see him thrown into
that lake of fire. this is a wake up call to everyone around the world.
not a call to simply change laws, but to change minds, to repent.
