Last night I was listening to 750AM talk radio, cause lately I guess I’ve gotten increasingly old, and am turning in to my Pops, so I listen to talk shows all the time, and I heard one of the absolute most profound, as well as, I believe, completely correct, statements I have heard in a long, long time.
I believe it was Sean Hannity, from his AM radio show, but don’t quote me on that, because I am not sure. He was talking about the Amish school shooting that happened recently and how yesterday was the burial of some of the girls that had been killed. He said that the only reason the Amish school shooting, or the recent shootings in Colorado, and anything of a human of the sort. is because the devil has been allowed in to America. And not just he explained it as not “God’s punishing us now” but he continued with something like this:
“The only reason many of these things have happened is because the devil has been allowed into America. God, the Almighty, has been taken out of the churches, taken out of the schools, taken out of the government, taken out of the media, take out of the movies, and taken out of the homes of America. And the devil has been allowed in.”
I thought this was an extraordinarily profound statement to make, especially from someone in the media, where you never hear a positive thing about Christianity EVER.
“GOD has been taken out of the churches.”
Of the churches? Isn’t that where God should be most prevalent? Obviously there is something wrong with our culture, or our society, or us as human beings, when even in the Christian churches, there is no God to be found…
When the church focuses more on the politics, the budget, the number of attendees, or why their denomination is better than the next, instead of on the message of the Love of Christ, then the devil has been allowed in. And if the church doesn’t grow a backbone, and quit changing itself to fit the world, and set the bar for other things such as the schools, the media, and so forth, then we as a society will continue on this steady decline to a complete moral suicide. We will destroy ourselves if we continue to allow the devil to make himself a home in America.

edit: This as well is unbelievable: That in a country where there is no forgiveness, and no sorrow, only contempt after tragedies such as these, half of the 75 people showed up for the Amish school SHOOTER’s funeral, were….. AMISH.
The unconditional love these people have for everyone, no matter the crime, no matter the sin, no matter the hurt and pain and suffering, is that of which i could only pray God would bless me with.
