People have wondered for years why God needed to give mankind instructions on how to live, how to get along with one another and also what to do in order to have a proper relationship with Him.
Just look at what has happened down through history to man as he has cast off the instructions given to us by our Creator!
Ask anyone why Christ spoke in parables and most likely they will tell you, “It was to make things clearer”. Jesus tells us it was for a different reason. Listen to this week’s message to discover what Jesus actually told the Apostles!

In this country that we call the United States we think of Independence Day as a day of joy and celebration of Freedom and Liberties. It’s a time of getting together with families sharing meals, fireworks and most of all memories of those that have served our country. But to many of our veterans who fought for those freedoms it can be severe bondage of the mind and body. My nephew 32 years young was a Gulf war veteran and he was one of those that fought for our freedom that all of us enjoy today. He chose to confront his demons a few years ago and end his suffering from his internal bondage after years of trying to adjust to life after war. He had a bright future ahead of him as an engineer and would have graduated from Kansas State.
There are so many questions and few answers in a situation like this. According to the 2025 National Veteran Suicide Prevention Annual Report Part II, page 9 it shows from 2023 6,398 Veterans committed suicide compared to 2001 6,021. That statistic doesn’t include those who never contact the Veteran’s Administration for help. I expect that the number far exceeds it in 2024 – 2025. Even our youngest son who is a veteran recently said he doesn’t stay close to those whom he served with because so many of them have committed suicide or feel like they have no hope.

On December 15th, 2012 I listened to the Special News Report that covered yet another tragedy in our Nation, the shooting of twenty children and six adults at an elementary school in Connecticut. Since that time there have been many more school shootings. I am reminded of God’s words “Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I will forget your children!” Even though this scripture is referring to the Priests of that time it also applies to us today as a reminder of what the consequences are of rejecting our Great God.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.
It seems like every time when tragedy strikes our Nations politicians start talking about gun control when they should really be talking about the moral issue of breaking God’s law, the sixth commandment which is in Exodus 20:13 You shall not murder. This is where the core of the problem lies not in gun control.
