As I recently said in my blog, Sweden has the most shootings in all of Europe.
This increase in shootings has been on since 2013, and escalated in 2016.
Almost all shootings are in the criminal world, between different gangs, but recently innocent people have become victims.
Even though the police capture many of these gang members the violence continues.
Politicians seem to be paralysed and not knowing what to do, but they all are terrified and angry about what's going on.
Much harder penalties and more police they say, and yes that's of course necessary. They are also talking about the need to stop young boys entering these gangs, and yes that's also very important. But how?
Education, better schools, easier to get a job. Yes that's important but is that enough?
At home we always talk about the situation and what to do and ethics and morals are always something that comes up.
Faith, especially Christianity, Ethics and morals, is something that our society for a long time neglected as something important and necessary for us.
I read an article the other day that pinpointed exactly all this that I for years has been saying.
The author said:
A well-functioning integration is necessary where all new arrivals must be made aware of the rules that apply in our country. In the middle of the 19th century , up in the northern parts of Sweden, there was a lot Theft, violence, drunkenness and moral decay. Even if there were 100 police officers with swords, they could not change the situation. But one man with only his mouth and Bible spoke of another way of living, another way of life. Many people turned around.Not everyone became a Christian but most began to live a new and honorable life.
Was it so wrong and harmful that the people had to learn the Ten Commandments and a little politeness? I think we all need to realize today how wrong we have been. We need to return to our heritage on which our entire society is built. The Basic Doctrines of Christianity.
Yes Amen , Back to basic.
