Getting a gun and going on a shooting rampage has made the news quite a bit in the last decade. A mind of evil or mental sickness are the causes. The mental condition must be taken care of by those in the medical field, and we also hope that those who know people that need mental help will see that those people get help before they do something bad. On the other hand, evil people who think they can use a gun to do what they want need to repent (Acts 17:30). The message of the Bible offers a new way for any person who will obey its words (Acts 3:17-20).

Respecting human life has been taught by God from the beginning because human life is the image of God, and the penalty of death is imposed on anyone who refuses to accept that (Genesis 9:4-6). A man cannot give life, so he sure has no busniess taking it. No matter what makes a man angry, he should never restort to murder (Matthew 5:21-22).

There is an issue going on which shouldn’t be an issue, and people are jumping on the band wagon giving approval like never before. The advocates have coined a phrase which they use to pressure the hold outs to join them. “You’re gonna be on the wrong side of history” they say.

The hold outs, might end up on the wrong side of history, but since they are following God’s word; they won’t end up on the wrong side of eternity (Psalm 9:17).

When a person obeys the word of God, he won’t be changed by what is going on in the world. The person will continue to stand on God’s word while the world rushes into destruction doing what they ought not (Matthew 7:13-14, 25:41-46).

So let the follower of God end up on the wrong side of history—at least he will be standing on the Word of God which lasts forever (Matthew 24:35, 7:21-27).

“I don’t judge,” a person may say. Well, it is good that one doesn’t, because the word of God teaches men not to judge (Matthew 7:1-2; Romans 14:10). Judging is a person giving their own opinion about a matter and passing those thoughts off as the law of the land. On the other hand, a person reading something that the word of God teaches and showing an offender where he is wrong, is not judging.

Instead that is correction by the word of God (2 Timothy 3:14-17; Hebrews 4:12-13).

For example, one is not judging by showing a thief that the word of God condemns stealing (Ephesians 4:28). Nor is one judging a gay person by showing that the scripture condemns homosexually (Romans 1:26-32). So, it is not correction by the person who showed the scripture to the offender, but rather the scripture showing the offender where he is in error. So remember, a person giving his personal thoughts as law, is judging. And showing one what the Bible teaches is correction.

I want you to read this phrase and consider it with the religous people that you meet. “Let us speak where the Bible speaks. Let us remain silent where the Bible is silent. :et us call things by Bible names and to do things in Bible ways.”

This is the way every God-fearing person is supposed to be. So the next time you attend a church service, tell your host what you have learned here and ask them for Bible authority for they what do (Matthew 21:23; Acts 17:11; 1 John 4:1; Revelation 2:2).

Mary was chosen by God to be the earthly mother of our Lord (Matthew 1:18-21; Luke 1:26-33). While this certainly was a special honor bestowed upon her, such a gesture did not mean that Mary was worthy of worship, instead worship is to be rendered to God and Him alone (Matt. 4:10; John 4:24; Acts 10:24-26). No one should be saying “Hail Mary,” instead men should be saying “Hail Jesus” (Acts 4:12; Romans 12:11; Acts 2:47, 3:8-9, 9:15-16,20-21; Hebrews 13:15; Romans 10:13; John 9:24; 1 Peter 4:11; Epheshians 1:3; Luke 2:13-14, 24:52-53; Romans 15:11; Acts 16:25; Eph. 5:19).
