"They do not know how to do right, says the Lord, those who store up violence and robbery in their strongholds."(Amos 3:10)
I don't know if we live in a more violent time than any other. Maybe, but we certainly are more aware of the violence in our world and sometimes in our own neighborhoods. People seem more edgy than I remember and they are certainly stressed and in this country we love our guns.
There are of course many peaceful sane people that own guns, but sadly there are also really heinous humans that own them, literally crazy people and then those randomly normal people who just snap. Because we don't know how to healthily deal with our anger and disappointment, the violence gets stored up.
We can also feel robbed of our own dignity sometimes in a world that just seems to chew us up and spit us out.
And because of all this we begin to lose sight of knowing how to do right. And yet that is what we as Christians are called to do. But our society does not make our task easy.
Blessings,
Ed
