GUNS, GOD, & the CHURCH

Much has been said about guns and the current administration's position regarding guns in American.  The recent shootings of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, Trayvon Martin, the Oakland, CA school and many others have again brought the gun discussion back to the forefront.  I don't believe the guns are the problem.  It is the people who posses the gun that is the problem.  I believe that stronger legislation on guns could be helpful.  However, I am more of the persuasion that we need to focus on helping people be better people.  The focus seems to be on "problems" rather than "people".  We seem to spend time trying to legislate problems when in fact we should seek to lead people.  The question then may be who should lead them and where should we lead them?  I think the church is going to have to take a more active role in the community in seeking to lead the efforts of leading people to Christ and better relationships with people.  We, the church, are so busy trying to make people inside better, that we forget to help the people outside.  The people who are not a part of the "church" but should really be the focus of the church.  Yes, let's get guns out of the hands of people who don't need them, but let's also get God in the same people.  Talk to me bloggers!
