The senseless massacre of 32 University students in Virginia is a stark reminder of the evil that lurks around us.
No one could imagine how the seemingly simple-looking Korean final-year student could have carried out this 'Rambo-style' killing and having no sense of the value of life, let alone, his very own. Could it be he was just re-enacting something he had been playing on his computer, day after day, ..... weeks after weeks, ..... months after months? Could it be he no longer knew the difference between reality and role-playing?
Though in Singapore, we are thankful for the strict laws against possessing firearms. However, what's there to stop someone from using other forms of weapons.
Troubled teens are everywhere and in every school. Look no further and you will encounter someone who are addicted to computer gaming. Those whom we have encountered and counseled are only the tip of the iceberg. More problems are just waiting to be manifested.
I sincerely believe that prayers for the St Andrew's Village has in a certain way kept the situation manageable. We need to keep praying that the forces of darkness are broken by the power and redemptive blood of Jesus Christ who is the Lord of the Village!
Join me in praying for St Andrew's Village.
