Spiritual illness and the call for gospel hope in tragedy
A Contributing Columnist argues mass killings reveal spiritual illness alongside mental illness. The piece urges divine intervention through Christ, citing Jeremiahs heart and Pauls transformation, and emphasizes sharing gospel light to heal communities. It notes Rev Billy Graham's death and public tributes as context for collective mourning and spiritual reflection.
