And here's where Christians have to understand there is no way a school district can function if the neighborhood doesn't function. There's no way a neighborhood can function if the family doesn't function. And that is what we see right now, we are reaping the harvest of so many children, so many teenagers, so many young people, so many teaming groups of students in the schools who simply face no consequences for their misbehavior, who lack any adequate social structure and moral culture that would prevent them from giving themselves to this kind of violence.

Above is an excerpt from Dr. Albert Mohler’s podcast, “The Briefing.” This one from 12/6/2021. “The Briefing” is available in podcast/audio form every weekday morning. He also posts it here followed by a written transcript. I don’t always agree with Dr. Mohler, but I find his commentary to be relevant and excellent. I highly recommend “The Briefing.” It is available through most podcasting apps and services, and available directly here: https://albertmohler.com/the-briefing
