    Amen. BUT there are hosts of UNSOUND people these days.

    Part of that being the result of salt losing its savor. How many Christians, TODAY, teach their kids the Ten Commandments?

    Few show interest in that today.

    Most all kids used to learn them from McGuffey Readers
    ["widely used as textbooks in American schools from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century"]

    Barna said most American Adults cannot name 5 of the Ten.

    I will get upset about mass shootings when the Democrats get upset about abortion.

    The Foundations are pretty much rubble, and few Christians work at rebuilding them. We have to start from the ground up. In our sick society, we have lots of 'cancer surgeons', etc., trying their best to save lives. We have very few encouraging healthy habits (discipleship). [​IMG]

    Anyone who is not sick about both is not following Christ.

    And this reflects the sickness of our society, turning a post about teaching children the Ten Commandments into a political statement. [But, I guess that's better than the yawn most Christians give it.]

    The fact is that we are not going to hear much more about the Dayton shooting because the shooter was a Democrat for Elizabeth Warren.

    Texans have the right to carry after having endured decades of Bill of Rights violation but apparently no one could carry inside Walmart--I don't know. El Paso is a liberal Democrat city but some are saying that the police chief is good. Across the river in Mexico, Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, is the most dangerous city in the world and has a population of 2 million with miles and miles of squalor.

    Here is the famous 1991 Luby's case in Texas wherein Texas finally granted the people their federal rights:

    Not teaching the kids the Ten Commandments is a result of politics.
    The "mass" shootings are miniscule in the light of the abortions. Over 2000 abortions per day (2500 is more accurate) in U.S. and I am supposed to be concerned with these "mass" murders.

    During the lost years of the Obama administration, France had has many mass shooting deaths as the USA. Latin America is another hotbed of mass shootings. Most of the mass shootings in the USA are black on back and they are almost daily but they do not make the national news.

    People are shooting at us so the Democrats want to take our guns away so that we cannot defend ourselves. Sounds like the Dems are on the side of the criminals.

    Not all Democrats are horse thieves but all horse thieves are Democrats.

    Like I said, Christians simply yawn at the basics. What did Jesus say happens to useless salt.
