The Newton shooting is but 48 hours old yet the amount of news,analysis and comment has been enough to engulf media outlets world-wide.
In all the reports and commentary, I have heard but ONE reference to EVIL and that from the Governor of Connecticut.
Let me quote
"Evil has descended upon us. Evil invaded the school of Sandy Hook."
What the Governor said is exactly true and deserves to be quoted.
What should also be quoted are the closing words of the Lord's prayer:
"LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL."
Herein lies the heart of America's problem. The children of the nation are forbidden from praying those words in America's schools by virtue of FEDERAL LAW.
Today prayers are being said EVERYWHERE: in churches, homes, civic halls, street corners, everywhere but in SCHOOLS, from which all prayers are banished.
Expect "evil to descend" on those schools again and again until God is recognized as the ONLY ONE who can deliver our children from evil.
In deepest sympathy.
