On gun violence: It is Christ himself who gave us the warning: “Those who live by the sword will die by the sword.” Who among us in the U.S. reading this right now, believes that Christ didn’t speak the truth?

In the US, we live by the gun, and we are reaping our reward, because we are indeed dying by the gun. Children and adults are targeted.

Who among us truly believes that Christ supports guns – a machine that has only one purpose?

For as long as we continue to “Live by the gun”, we will also die by the gun.

When we humans are our own worst enemy, a gun does not protect us from our self.

When we, in the United States, are our own worst enemies, when there is so much hatred for each other, no weapon will protect us from our own selves.
