Gregor, here are great responses in this terrible situation! Dr. Charles Stanley Responds to the VA Tech Tragedy Dear Friend, The events we heard about and saw on television Monday from Virginia Tech University in Blacksburg, Virginia were extremely disturbing and horrifying. Our thoughts and prayers are going out to the families and friends who lost loved ones to this senseless act of violence. At In Touch Ministries, we will continue to pray for the Lord to comfort and heal everyone affected by this terrible act. It’s difficult to understand how and why something like this could happen. Oftentimes, in the face of overwhelming tragedy, we wonder why a loving God would allow so much injury and loss of life. We ask, “Why didn’t He prevent it?” “Why didn’t He do something?” My friends, no one knows the answer to that question. But what we do know is that God is still in control. The most powerful thing we can do at this time is to cry out to God for the grieving families of those precious students, for their friends, the faculty and the entire student body. The days, weeks and months ahead will be a long and difficult healing process. The apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 is most encouraging when he says, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ.” Prayerfully yours, Charles F. Stanley When you can't trace God's hand, you can trust God's heart." Charles Spurgeon
