The FAMiLY LEADER encourages prayers for the victims, families, and friends of all those impacted by the condemnable act of evil in Orlando this weekend.
We echo the statement of John Stemberger of our sister organization, the Florida Family Policy Council, in response to this horrible tragedy:
“The people shot by the Islamic jihadist were sons and daughters, mothers and fathers. They were citizens and workers. They were precious souls. Most importantly they were people who were made in the image and likeness of God himself. They were image bearers of the Creator and worthy of dignity, value, and respect.
“This is an unspeakable tragedy and we should take extended time to mourn, to pray for the families of those murdered and injured, and to consider the depth of evil in the hearts of men that this senseless act represents. Finally, we should also pray for and support law enforcement as they investigate and bring to justice all persons involved.”
