While I do not agree with my brother Shane in
all areas, I could not agree more with his words here.
We should "refuse
to settle for the country as it is and insist on dreaming of the
country as it could be." Especially as God's people, called
to "seek the welfare of the city into which He has placed us" (Jer.
29:7), we should join together and help change the unjust, illogical
presence of and culture around guns in our country.
I truly believe
Christ desires to use our nation and all the blessings He has given us
for His good purposes - and this reality is not a part of that vision.
We are called to something better:
"The more I travel the world
I am convinced it’s not the way the world is… it’s the way the U.S. is.
...In one year, guns murdered: 27 in Australia, 59 in England and
Wales, 60 in Spain, 190 in Canada … and 10,177 in the U.S."
