Resist heresy in the wake of the Santa Fe shooting

Keep focused on prayers and mourning.  Seek what you can do to change.  Do not get sucked into the hate and the partisanship that sees this tragic evil as a chance to advance agendas.   Do not fail to look at the heart and soul of the nation that has brought this on our children.   And for the love of God, do not join the world's mockery of God and prayer by suggesting that your prayer is worthless unless you conform to this or that political agenda.

It is not through horses and chariots - even liberal ones - that we will stop the evil we see.  It is through turning to God through Christ.  Christians who have embraced the heretical notion that prayer's efficacy and God's governance are contingent upon the dictates of political activism apostatize themselves.  Do not follow them, even if they are the majority and are cheered by the movers and shakers of our nation who get invited to all the best parties. 

It is through God, by Christ, that we can reverse this horrible trend.  Policies can be dealt with in time.  But do not be fooled.  It is heresy to suggest our trust should be placed in our politics rather than God.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.   Psalm 20.7.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.   Ephesians 6.12

And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away."  Revelation 21.3-4
