Germany in shock after teenage gunman attacks school, killing 16

WINNENDEN: An assailant clad in black stormed into a high school Wednesday in southwestern Germany and killed 12 people before fleeing, murdering another 3 people who crossed his path and then killing himself after a shootout with the police.

The death toll of 16, including the gunman, was less than the 17 killed in another school shooting in the eastern German town of Erfurt almost seven years ago. Similar incidents have occurred since then, but none as shocking to Germans as the one that began before noon here, near Stuttgart, and ended in another town southeast of the city.



This sucks bad, then in the u.s.a There was another man who owned guns and killed his own family and went on a 12 mile police chase ending his own life, why do people do this ? what causes this insanity ?

Thesis: The church should assist with the needs of every aspect of humanity: physical needs, knowledge and emotional needs involved in making moral decisions, and relational needs in society and with God.

Ephesians 4:12-13 summarizes some basic functions of the church: preparing God's people for works of service, and working toward unity in faith and the knowledge of Christ and maturity in him. Physical service, education, social needs and worship are all within the responsibility of the church.

Physical needs are important. Just as all humans have the duty to avoid bodily harm and cursing because of the image of God (Gen 9:6; Jam 3:9), Christians have the duty to take positive actions for others.14 The church not only teaches Christians to perform physical works of service that help the needy (Jam 2:15-17; Matt 25:31-46; Gal 6:10), it also sets an example of ministering to physical needs, as Jesus did. The church teaches social responsibility and morality to all who are being transformed into the image of Christ. It is often our failures in social areas that help us realize that our relationship with God is in need of repair.

The church preaches a message of reconciliation with God, which is a result of faith in Christ as Savior. Cognition and emotion work together to produce the faith-decision of the will —- whether to believe (cognitive) and trust (emotive). The church teaches about God and Christ and exhorts people to accept the relationship with God that is offered through Christ and the Spirit. And a love-based relationship with God, in turn, carries with it obligations regarding our relationship with other humans. Theology leads to ethics.

Christianity interrelates all aspects of humanity —- worship, social obligations, rational decisions, and physical assistance. The church teaches relationship with God, faith in him, love for him, holy living (Jam 1:27; Heb 5:14; 1 Jo 3:1-3; 5:2), and love for other humans, a love that leads to practical service (Jam 1:27; Heb 10:25). The church teaches the proper use of dominion, rationality, creativity, and personality.

Conclusion

We are made in God's image, but the potential value of this image will not be realized unless we become conformed to the image of Christ in our morality. To be living in God's image, we must be in a right (i.e., moral) relationship with God and with other humans, using our minds and our authority to serve God and our fellow humans. This is what it means to be in the image of God and conformed to the perfect image, his Son.
