NEWS FLASH: After Massacre Gunman Kills 32 at University 
 
 
INSANITY  

While I do not know the technical terms to describe insanity, I do know that 
there are many people in the world today who show signs of it. There is no 
question about the matter of our society spawning more and more insanity by the 
way we view the events taking place in our own country. Indeed, every day 
someone will commit some awful action [i.e. crime against man and God] that shocks 
even the news commentators. Yes, mankind is undergoing an increase of lawless 
activities that in the past were seldom committed. Today we see so much evil 
in so many on the electronic media that we seriously wonder if there may be 
some insane-bacteria that is invading the minds of normal people. I say wonder 
because I cannot understand what is happening to people in America, both men and 
women who show continued signs of absolute insanity. 
There have been numerous events that we have seen in the news services and 
electronic media that calls us from our hopes of better times and alerts us to 
the increasing insecurity that grips us daily. We wonder if our hopes of safe 
and secure cities, homes, churches, etc. are slipping away from us. 
The only security that we really have is that which is found in becoming a 
Christian and living out our lives as faithful followers of the Bible’s 
teachings for human existence – cf. Jeremiah 10:23, O Jehovah, I know that the way of 
man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. 
(ASV)  As Jeremiah says, … the way of a man is not in himself; it is not in man 
that walketh [glc - survives daily] to direct his own steps [glc - live life 
successfully]. How insecure, then is mankind without allowing God’s Written Word 
guide his life, his relationship to his wife, and his and his wife’s care of 
their family? No wonder them there is so much insanity in the life of so man, 
statistics show that true religion has been declining in America since the end 
of WWII and morality and ethics have also took a beating in the past 60 + 
years. Indeed, it is time for every serious minded person to reexamine the 
foundation of their hopes, dreams and family plans; we need to get back to the value 
system that is based upon God’s Holy Book [i.e. the Bible] and return to the 
religion, morals, and ethics that made our nation and our community’s safe 
places to live. I remember as a child, we lived in houses that did not have locks 
on the doors and we were not afraid of some crazy, [i.e. insane] person 
invading our home during the day or night. This is not the case today, we are unsafe 
everywhere and must sleep with one eye open it seems. Surely we must know 
that we need to get back to basic Bible morality and stop whatever we are doing 
that is contribution to the decline of goodness, righteousness, honesty, love, 
and kindness that most Americans possessed in olden times.
