In the wake of the recent Texas school shooting, many Christian leaders and influencers have shared their sentiments about the tragedy. One of them, the Benham brothers, believes that Jesus is the real solution that can turn “predators into protectors.” Their statement follows after the nation calls for political debate on “gun control laws.”

Texas School Shooting

The recent school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, left America grieving and fearing over the state of their young ones. The 18-year-old shooter killed 19 children and two adults.

U.S. President Joe Biden is reported to travel to Texas to discuss the gun laws.

But, the Benham brothers shared that there are not enough gun laws that can ultimately change a person. “There’s not enough ‘gun laws’ on earth to turn a young man from a predator to a protector,” they posted on their Facebook account. “But there is a King, whose name is Jesus, that can step into the heart of a man and change him from the inside out.”

They added, “A gun in the hand of a good man brings peace and protection, but a gun in the hand of a bad man brings pain and destruction. Our nation has a heart problem – not a gun problem.”

Their statement concluded with a call to action for their fellow parents. “Teach our young men to deny themselves, become men of God, and fight against evil instead of perpetrate it. Our boys need to be called up to something much higher than video games, binge shows, and porn! There’s so much more…in Christ.”

The now-viral Facebook post encouraged many Christians. One commenter even reinforced their statement. He said, “We have had the right to bear arms now for 233 years. Only in the past 25 years have we ever had issues with widespread gun violence as we see it today. No amount of gun control law will change a heart that is broken. Only Christ can do that.”

Let us continue to pray for this generation. Pray for the bereaved families. Pray that there will be no more victims of unnecessary killing and that Jesus will reign in people’s hearts.

An Alabama dad was hailed as a hero after he killed a masked gunman who opened fire in a McDonald’s restaurant last Saturday.

The unidentified dad, together with his sons, was leaving the Birmingham restaurant when the suspect, identified as Antonio Demond Sanders, entered the restaurant and began shooting. The father immediately pulled out his own firearm and returned fire. The suspect was unable to carry out his deadly plans and died due to injuries.

The father and one of his sons were hit by Antonio’s bullets, but they are expected to recover from their wounds fully.

Because of the dad’s fearless and selfless actions, many lives were saved. One of the Birmingham McDonald’s employees who was on duty during the shootout called the dad a hero for putting his life on the line to save the lives of everyone there.

“He’s my hero. Because I can only imagine how it would’ve gone if he wasn’t armed. We might not be here having this interview,” Markus Washington said to WBRC.

Markus was in the kitchen making burgers when the suspect opened fire. He then took cover in the freezer. He recalls hearing around 15 gunshots. Markus feared that the carnage outside his hideout was worse because he wasn’t aware that there was a heroic dad who fought against the attacker.

“All we hear is like different gunfire, so in my mind, I’m imagining everybody is dead,” he said.

The armed dad is not expected to face any charges. The authorities are still working on determining Antonio’s motives.

“It’s not easy being a father and watching your child get injured, get hurt like that,” Sgt. Bryan Shelton, Birmingham police spokesman, said.

Please pray for this courageous dad and his son for their recovery and for all those who were present that day.
