Elliot Rodger, Too Bad

Too bad it had to happen this way. Too bad that I cannot personally talk to the young man who massacred 6 people and then killed himself in Santa Barbara. It is too late. He is dead. He is in God's hands. What a shame to end things this way. Such a young man. Such a troubled young man. If he were still alive and I knew him, and knew what he was going through: this is what I would tell him. "The spirit of lusting is a common spirit. It is particularly common to men. You are being overcome by it. The devil is using it to destroy you. "Resist the devil and he will flee from you." Have all the girls really rejected you? What were your motives with them? Bad motives need to die. Good motives need to live. What is all of the rush to get involved sexually? Find a substitute until you get married. Or do you want to be a "player"? Don't we all have desires in our hearts? Why don't you pray about it? Ask God to lead you down the right path. Enjoy God's presence. "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." (Ps. 37:4) Does it sound crazy to you? It is not crazy. It is wise. I can think of many other things to do that are much "crazier." But at this time I won't discuss them because they are too unpleasant. Pray with me. Let us talk to Jesus. He will bless your life. He is the power of God and the wisdom of God. Follow Him. He will give you real joy. You will never be sorry. He is the best there is."
