The recent school shooting in Uvalde, Texas has once again plunged the country into deep mourning and sadness, stoking the flames of anger in this all-too-well-known scenario.\u00a0 Yet each time such a tragic event occurs, frustration and division heighten, and no real solutions are implemented.\u00a0 Hours after the events in Texas unfolded, we were already knee-deep in finger pointing and in assigning blame.<\/p>\n

Our increasingly dependent culture looks to big government to intervene and solve the problem, but it did not create it (at least not directly), and it cannot solve it.\u00a0 The best that we can hope for is that new policies and laws might make a dent in it without eventually being abused to control and manipulate.<\/p>\n

The usual demands for gun reform have once again taken center stage, but there is little structure on which to base a solution.\u00a0 \u00a0We still lack logical, reasoned approaches to a complex problem.\u00a0 We hear the usual arguments from both sides but embedded in the discussion is misinformation and confusion.\u00a0 Too often we accuse anyone with a different opinion as not caring or even worse, without any acknowledgement that they may simply want to try a different solution.\u00a0 Everyone speaks in general terms, often just parroting and with little to no knowledge.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Any real solution will involve a multifaceted approach with considerable nuance and strategy, but our society seems incapable of being mature or rational enough to even begin.\u00a0 Our leadership is self-serving, useless, and overall defunct.\u00a0 Not just in terms of legislation but void of maturity and without sincerity, sacrifice, and character.\u00a0 In Biblical days, kings and leaders would rip their garments and sit in ashes as a display of sorrow and repentance when faced with calamity, and the population would follow their example.\u00a0 Now we follow their example of moral decay, pride, and deflection.<\/p>\n

The health of a society is best measured by how well those who are struggling the most are faring.\u00a0 American culture has been descending consistently away from God for decades, and we are now reaping the harvest.\u00a0 We have all but removed God<\/a> from all aspects of society, except for inside our churches at weekly services, and even this is under attack.\u00a0 And yet we wonder why evil is increasingly manifesting itself among the most troubled among us.<\/p>\n

In the past few decades, society has degraded in the following ways, to name a few:<\/p>\n
