Christian Response to Mass Shootings and Tragedies | Dr. James White

Though this was a response to the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, as well as particularly destructive Atlantic hurricane season that year, the message is applicable whenever something like this happens. I pray God for me personally, and for the viewer, that He would help us to really be impacted by our own mortality, to ponder on our inevitable death, and to redeem the time we have left. And for the non-Christian that this reality would strike their heart, and through the Holy Spirit would bring them to the realization of their need for a Savior, to deliver them from eternal death and give them a new purpose, new goals, new desires in this life that comes with the new identity in Christ. Your eyes have seen my unshaped substance; And in Your book all of them were written The days that were formed for me, When as yet there was not one of them. — Psalm 139:16 Since his days are determined, The number of his months is with You; And his limits You have set so that he cannot pass. — Job 14:5 Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth. — Proverbs 27:1 So teach us to number our days, That we may present to You a heart of wisdom. — Psalm 90:12 Behold, now is “the acceptable time,” behold, now is “the day of salvation” — 2 Corinthians 6:2 For this reason it says, “Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine on you.” Therefore look carefully how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. — Ephesians 5:14-16 Scripture quotation from the Legacy Standard Bible https://lsbible.org/ https://read.lsbible.org/ Excerpt from the Dividing Line program aired on October 2, 2017 https://youtu.be/w7r4on6TKxQ Alpha & Omega Ministries https://www.aomin.org/ https://www.youtube.com/user/AominOrg https://twitter.com/AominOrg https://www.sermonaudio.com/source_de...
