How bout it, praying Christians? A seven-second prayer each day. That's easy.
Are you interested in the preservation of gun ownership and rights? Yes? Well, so am I. Concerned that mass shootings will be prevented? Yes? Well, I as well.
Can you then spend 7 seconds every day, or as often that you can remember to do so, to pray that God will stop, by any means necessary, those individuals that have murderous intent before they perpetrate unjustified gun violence on anyone? Do you believe your prayers will be effectual in this matter? No? Well why not? Are you not the Salt and Light of the earth? Has not God chosen to largely work through the prayers of the Saints (Matthew 9:38; 1 Timothy 2:1-2; Jeremiah 29:7)?
Do you have a prayer list? No? Why not? We keep and maintain lists for just about everything else under the sun, so why not as an aid to help us to remember what to pray for?
In addition to the above, I am praying that those opposing gun ownership rights will not be able to use recent tragedies for political gain.
Note: Please do not assume that I or anyone else own firearms or are determined to use physical force with firearms just becasue I or they support the preservation of gun ownership rights.
Although personal protection is a serious issue on this topic, one of my concerns pertains to a particular right necessary for the health of a nation a whole as well as the preservation of the US Constitution.
