Our "Contemporary" Confession, Our World Belongs to God speaks to this subject in article 54,as a denomination we say we "deplore the spread of weapons," yet one cannot help notice that 100% of our legislators in West. Michigan who are in the CRC refuse to do anything about the spread of weapons when given the opportunity. "Thoughts and prayers" ring very hallow when so many who claim to be reformed in their faith seem more loyal to the NRA than to our confessions. I think we need a call to prayer and a call to action, maybe we need a Sunday dedicated to preaching from article 54, but as two young pastors said to me yesterday, "you can talk that way when you are retired."
