This is a very current issue in America today. It seems as if for the past 30 years there have been numerous school shootings, and especially in the last ten, it seems as if it has happened every year. Why are so many horrific instances happening?

What does the Bible say about this issue?

[INDENT]2 Timothy 3:1-4: (KJV) "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God."[/INDENT]

We can historically verify the prophecy of this verse in the last 50 years in America. I have heard an amazing number of people talk about how it was in their day, when kids respected their parents, and things seemed in such harmony. In today's America, we very much know that we are in perilous times. Look at our school systems and you will see kids who are disobedient to their parents, unthankful, unholy, lacking natural affection, breaking their word, falsing accusing, and very jeolous of good things. We also find youth having sex without regard being lovers of pleasure, and less youth being lovers of God. Just look at how much this has changed in the last 50 years, not only in America, but the rest of the world. Are we in the last days? Only God knows, but one thing is for sure, until we've turned back to God and His holy word, we can expect more shootings to occur as well as more godlessness. I suppose it doesn't hit home with many until it actually happens to them or someone they love.
