G-Pop received an email from one of his children.
“Dear G-Pop: Why is there so much killing going on?”
He sat for a moment, thinking. Then he sent back this note:
We are in a struggle with anti-matter.
There are human beings who have decided that nothing matters. Once they come to that conclusion, they believe life is insignificant.
You can walk around the fringe of the problem by trying to remove guns, increase background checks and ask law enforcement to be more enforcing. But until you address the heart of the “matter,” these frustrated killers will slip through the safety net.
It is up to each one of us to take care of the “crazies” who surround us and make sure we do our part to prevent the next massacre.
Learn what to listen for.
1. “I don’t matter.”
Whenever you hear anyone state these words, stop what you’re doing and get involved. Listen to them. Take them someplace positive. Give them a reason to exist. Work with them shoulder to shoulder and see if it doesn’t improve the outlook.
2. “You don’t matter.”
Yes, there are folks who will decide for you exactly what your value is and limit the scope of your power. When you run across these people, take them into your home. Let them walk through some of your journey with you. Show them how your faith has feet.
3. “God doesn’t matter.”
Even though many of these murderers use the name of God to justify their mission, they obviously have given up on a Divine Being because they contend He’s given up on all of us. For example, it’s impossible to kill a deer if you think it has a soul or if it has the capacity to talk to you. To turn into a creature of mayhem, you have to believe that human beings are just ants.
And since Jesus told us that each human life is worth “many sparrows,” those who come to the conclusion that God doesn’t matter become dangerous.
At this point, you should invite two friends in. Don’t lay this on yourself. You’re dealing with a serious issue. You have to counsel with other people about the deteriorating scenario with this troubled soul.
The three of you should gently go and share with this person, to reason with him. Perhaps you can get him or her to once again believe in a loving Father and Creator or seek professional help.
4. “Nothing matters.”
When you hear a friend, relative, acquaintance or co-worker state that nothing matters, it’s time to contact the authorities.
You will certainly be afraid that you’re jumping the gun, but in this case that may very well be true. You may be jumping ahead to avoid the destruction of a gun.
When people begin to believe that nothing matters, they are susceptible to dark and evil suggestions which can lead to lasting tragedy.
With every single vicious, gun-slinging event that happens in this country, there are always at least four people who are fully aware of the pending calamity and decide not to interfere.
- Law enforcement will not be able to solve this problem.
- Making guns more difficult to acquire will only have limited effectiveness.
We need human beings who are attentive to the situations that come their way–when “anti-matter” tries to turn friends into demons.
